Psalms 55:1-17

1Give earH238 to my prayerH8605, O GodH430; and hideH5956 not thyself from my supplicationH8467.12 2AttendH7181 to me, and hearH6030 me: I mournH7300 in my complaintH7879, and make a noiseH1949; 3Because of the voiceH6963 of the enemyH341, becauseH6440 of the oppressionH6125 of the wickedH7563: for they castH4131 iniquityH205 upon me, and in wrathH639 they hateH7852 me. 4My heartH3820 is greatly painedH2342 withinH7130 me: and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 have fallenH5307 upon me. 5FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 have comeH935 upon me, and horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680 me.3 6And I saidH559, O thatH5414 I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123! for then I would fly awayH5774, and be at restH7931. 7Lo, then I would wanderH5074 far offH7368, and remainH3885 in the wildernessH4057. SelahH5542. 8I would hastenH2363 my escapeH4655 from the windyH7307 stormH5584 and tempestH5591.

9DestroyH1104, O LordH136, anddivideH6385 their tonguesH3956: for I have seenH7200 violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the cityH5892. 10DayH3119 and nightH3915 they go aboutH5437 her upon her wallsH2346: mischiefH205 also and sorrowH5999 are in her midstH7130. 11WickednessH1942 is in her midstH7130: deceitH8496 and guileH4820 departH4185 not from her streetsH7339. 12For it was not an enemyH341 that reproachedH2778 me; then I could have borneH5375 it : neither was it he that hatedH8130 me that magnifiedH1431 himself against me; then I would have hidH5641 myself from him: 13But it was thou, a manH582 my equalH6187, my guideH441, and my acquaintanceH3045.4 14We took sweetH4985 counselH5475 togetherH3162, and walkedH1980 to the houseH1004 of GodH430 in companyH7285.5 15Let deathH4194 seizeH5377H3451 upon them, and let them go downH3381 aliveH2416 into hellH7585: for wickednessH7451 is in their dwellingsH4033, and amongH7130 them.6

16As for me, I will callH7121 upon GodH430; and the LORDH3068 shall saveH3467 me. 17EveningH6153, and morningH1242, and at noonH6672, will I prayH7878, and cry aloudH1993: and he shall hearH8085 my voiceH6963.
