< Psalms 55 >

1 TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And do not hide 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 to me, and answer me, I mourn in my (meditation) 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 an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger 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 pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
5 Fear and trembling come to me, And horror covers me.
Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
6 And I say, “Who gives to me a pinion as a dove?” I fly away and 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 move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. (Selah)
Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
8 I hurry escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
9 Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 By day and by night they go around it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
11 Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit do not depart from its street.
Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
12 For an enemy does not reproach me, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Has not magnified himself against me, Or I hide 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 you, a man—as my equal, My familiar friend, and my acquaintance.
And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
14 When together we sweeten counsel, We walk into the house of God in company.
Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
15 Desolations [are] on them, They go down [to] Sheol—alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, 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 I call to God, and YHWH saves me.
I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
17 Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He hears my voice,
Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
18 He has ransomed my soul in peace From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
19 God hears and afflicts them, And He sits of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, and do not fear 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 sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He has defiled his covenant.
He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
21 His mouth has been sweeter than honey, And his heart [is] war! His words have been softer than oil, And they [are] 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 on YHWH that which He has given you, And He sustains you, He does not permit the moving of the righteous forever.
Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
23 And You, O God, bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit do not reach to half their days, And I trust in You!
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.
