Psalms 55:1-17
11ListenH238 to my prayerH8605, O GodH430,and do notH408 ignoreH5956 my pleaH8467.2AttendH7181 to me and answer meH6030.I am restlessH7300 in my complaintH7879,and distraughtH1949 3at the voiceH6963 of the enemyH341,atH6440 the pressureH6125 of the wickedH7563.ForH3588 they bring downH4131 disasterH205 upon meH5921and resent meH7852 in their angerH639.
4My heartH3820 poundsH2342 within meH7130,and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 assailH5307 meH5921.5FearH3374 and tremblingH7461 gripH935 me,and horrorH6427 has overwhelmed meH3680.6I saidH559, “OhH4310, thatH5414 I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123!I would fly awayH5774 and find restH7931.7HowH2009 far awayH7368 I would fleeH5074!In the wildernessH4057 I would remainH3885.SelahH55428I would hurryH2363 to my shelterH4655,far from this ragingH7307H5584 tempestH5591.”
9O LordH136, confuseH1104 and confoundH6385 their speechH3956,forH3588 I seeH7200 violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the cityH5892.10DayH3119 and nightH3915 they encircleH5437H5921 the wallsH2346,while maliceH205 and troubleH5999 lie withinH7130.11DestructionH1942 is withinH7130;oppressionH8496 and deceitH4820 neverH3808 leaveH4185 the streetsH7339.
12ForH3588 it is notH3808 an enemyH341 who insults meH2778;that I could endureH5375.It is notH3808 a foeH8130 who risesH1431 against meH5921;from himH4480 I could hideH5641.13But it is youH859, a manH582 like myselfH6187,my companionH441 and close friendH3045.14WeH834 shared sweetH4985 fellowshipH5475 togetherH3162;we walkedH1980 with the crowdH7285 into the houseH1004 of GodH430.
15Let death seize them by surpriseH3451H5921;let them go downH3381 to SheolH7585 aliveH2416,forH3588 evilH7451 is with themH7130 in their homesH4033.16But IH589 callH7121 toH413 GodH430,and the LORDH3068 saves meH3467.17MorningH1242, noonH6672, and nightH6153, I cry outH1993 in distressH7878,and He hearsH8085 my voiceH6963.
