Psalms 55
1 Unto the end. In verses, the understanding of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and despise not my supplication.
To the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. Give ear to! O God prayer my and may not you hide yourself from supplication my.
2 Be attentive to me, and heed me. I have been grieved in my training, and I have been disturbed
Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
3 at the voice of the adversary and at the tribulation of the sinner. For they have diverted iniquities toward me, and they have been harassing me with rage.
From [the] sound of an enemy because of [the] pressure of [the] wicked for they drop on me wickedness and in anger they are hostile to me.
4 My heart has become disturbed within me, and the dread of death has fallen over me.
Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
5 Fear and trembling have overwhelmed me, and darkness has buried me.
Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
6 And I said, “Who will give me wings like the dove, so that I may fly away and take rest?”
And I said who? will he give [will belong] to me wing[s] like dove I want to fly away and I want to settle down.
7 Behold, I have fled far away, and I linger in solitude.
Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
8 I waited for him who saved me from a weak-minded spirit and from a tempest.
I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
9 Cast them down, O Lord, and divide their tongues. For I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night, iniquity will surround it upon its walls, and hardship is in its midst,
By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
11 with injustice. And usury and deceit have not fallen away from its streets.
Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
12 For if my enemy had spoken evil about me, certainly, I would have sustained it. And if he who hated me had been speaking great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
For not an enemy he taunts me and I may endure not [one who] hates me on me he magnified himself then I may hide myself from him.
13 Truly, you are a man of one mind: my leader and my acquaintance,
And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
14 who took sweet food together with me. In the house of God, we walked side-by-side.
Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
15 Let death come upon them, and let them descend alive into Hellfire. For there is wickedness in their dwellings, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
(May it deceive death - *Q(K)*) on them may they go down Sheol alive for evil deeds [are] in sojourning-place their in inner being their. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I have cried out to God, and the Lord will save me.
I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
17 Evening and morning and midday, I will discourse and announce, and he will heed my voice.
Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
18 He will redeem my soul in peace from those who draw near to me. For, among the many, they were with me.
He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
19 God will hear, and He who is before time will humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God.
He will hear - God - and he will answer them and [the one who] sits antiquity (Selah) whom not changes [belong] to them and not they fear God.
20 He has stretched forth his hand in retribution. They have contaminated his covenant.
He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
21 They were divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart has drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and they are arrows.
They were smooth - [the] creamy things of mouth his and [was] war heart his they were soft words his more than oil and they [were] drawn swords.
22 Cast your cares upon the Lord, and he will nurture you. He will not allow the just to be tossed about forever.
Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
23 Truly, O God, you will lead them away into the well of death. Bloody and deceitful men will not divide their days in half. But I will hope in you, O Lord.
And you O God - you will bring down them - to [the] pit of [the] pit people of blood and deceit not they will divide in half days their and I I will trust in you.
