Psalms 55
1 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.
TO THE OVERSEER. WITH STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And do not hide from my supplication.
2 Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my (meditation) and make a noise,
3 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.
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.
4 Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
Fear and trembling come to me, And horror covers me.
6 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.
And I say, “Who gives to me a pinion as a dove?” I fly away and rest,
7 Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
Behold, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. (Selah)
8 I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
I hurry escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
9 Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
10 By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
By day and by night they go around it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
11 Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit do not depart from its street.
12 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.
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.
13 And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
But you, a man—as my equal, My familiar friend, and my acquaintance.
14 Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
When together we sweeten counsel, We walk into the house of God in company.
15 (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)
Desolations [are] on them, They go down [to] Sheol—alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
16 I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
I call to God, and YHWH saves me.
17 Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He hears my voice,
18 He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
He has ransomed my soul in peace From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
19 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.
God hears and afflicts them, And He sits of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, and do not fear God,
20 He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
He has sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He has defiled his covenant.
21 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.
His mouth has been sweeter than honey, And his heart [is] war! His words have been softer than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
22 Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
Cast on YHWH that which He has given you, And He sustains you, He does not permit the moving of the righteous forever.
23 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.
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!
