Psalm 55
To
the
chief
Musician
on
Neginoth,
Maschil,
A
Psalm
of
David.
Give
ear
to
my
prayer,
O
God;
and
hide
not
thyself
from
my
supplication.
2
Attend
unto
me,
and
hear
me:
I
mourn
in
my
complaint,
and
make
a
noise;
3
Because
of
the
voice
of
the
enemy,
because
of
the
oppression
of
the
wicked:
for
they
cast
iniquity
upon
me,
and
in
wrath
they
hate
me.
4
My
heart
is
sore
pained
within
me:
and
the
terrors
of
death
are
fallen
upon
me.
5
Fearfulness
and
trembling
are
come
upon
me,
and
horror
hath
overwhelmed
me.
6
And
I
said,
Oh
that
I
had
wings
like
a
dove!
for
then
would
I
fly
away,
and
be
at
rest.
7
Lo,
then
would
I
wander
far
off,
and
remain
in
the
wilderness.
Selah.
8
I
would
hasten
my
escape
from
the
windy
storm
and
tempest.
9
Destroy,
O
Lord,
and
divide
their
tongues:
for
I
have
seen
violence
and
strife
in
the
city.
10
Day
and
night
they
go
about
it
upon
the
walls
thereof:
mischief
also
and
sorrow
are
in
the
midst
of
it.
11
Wickedness
is
in
the
midst
thereof:
deceit
and
guile
depart
not
from
her
streets.
12
For
it
was
not
an
enemy
that
reproached
me;
then
I
could
have
borne
it:
neither
was
it
he
that
hated
me
that
did
magnify
himself
against
me;
then
I
would
have
hid
myself
from
him:
13
But
it
was
thou,
a
man
mine
equal,
my
guide,
and
mine
acquaintance.
14
We
took
sweet
counsel
together,
and
walked
unto
the
house
of
God
in
company.
15
Let
death
seize
upon
them,
and
let
them
go
down
quick
into
hell:
for
wickedness
is
in
their
dwellings,
and
among
them.
16
As
for
me,
I
will
call
upon
God;
and
the
Lord
shall
save
me.
17
Evening,
and
morning,
and
at
noon,
will
I
pray,
and
cry
aloud:
and
he
shall
hear
my
voice.
18
He
hath
delivered
my
soul
in
peace
from
the
battle
that
was
against
me:
for
there
were
many
with
me.
19
God
shall
hear,
and
afflict
them,
even
he
that
abideth
of
old.
Selah.
Because
they
have
no
changes,
therefore
they
fear
not
God.
20
He
hath
put
forth
his
hands
against
such
as
be
at
peace
with
him:
he
hath
broken
his
covenant.
21
The
words
of
his
mouth
were
smoother
than
butter,
but
war
was
in
his
heart:
his
words
were
softer
than
oil,
yet
were
they
drawn
swords.
22
Cast
thy
burden
upon
the
Lord,
and
he
shall
sustain
thee:
he
shall
never
suffer
the
righteous
to
be
moved.
23
But
thou,
O
God,
shalt
bring
them
down
into
the
pit
of
destruction:
bloody
and
deceitful
men
shall
not
live
out
half
their
days;
but
I
will
trust
in
thee.
