Psalms 55
1 Give ear to my prayer, O Elohim; and hide not thyself from 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 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
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.
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 is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at 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 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. (Selah)
Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
9 Destroy, O YHWH, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Confuse O Lord divide tongue their 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.
By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
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:
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 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of Elohim in company.
Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. (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 As for me, I will call upon Elohim; and YHWH shall save me.
I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
19 El shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not Elohim.
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 hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
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.
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 thy burden upon YHWH, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
23 But thou, O Elohim, 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.
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.
