Psalms 55:17-23

17EveningH6153, and morningH1242, and at noonH6672, will I prayH7878, and cry aloudH1993: and he shall hearH8085 my voiceH6963.

18He hath deliveredH6299 my soulH5315 in peaceH7965 from the battleH7128 that was against me: for there were manyH7227 with me.

19GodH410 shall hearH8085, and afflictH6030 them, even he that abidethH3427 of oldH6924. SelahH5542. Because they have no changesH2487, therefore they fearH3372 not GodH430.1

20He hath put forthH7971 his handsH3027 against such as be at peaceH7965 with him: he hath brokenH2490 his covenantH1285.2

21The words of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505 than butterH4260, but warH7128 was in his heartH3820: his wordsH1697 were softerH7401 than oilH8081, yet were they drawn swordsH6609.

22CastH7993 thy burdenH3053 upon YhwhH3068, and he shall sustainH3557 thee: he shall neverH5769 sufferH5414 the righteousH6662 to be movedH4131.3

23But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in thee.45
