Psalms 55
1 For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, God; and do not hide yourself from my plea.
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 Pay attention to me and answer me; I have no rest in my troubles
Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
3 because of the voice of my enemies, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they bring trouble on me and persecute me in anger.
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 trembles within me, and the terrors of death have fallen on me.
Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
6 I said, “Oh, if only I had wings like a dove! 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 See, then I would wander far away; I would stay 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 hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.”
I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
9 Devour them, Lord, confuse their language! 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 on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in the middle 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 middle of it; oppression and deceit do not leave its streets.
Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
12 For it was not an enemy who rebuked me, then I could have borne it; neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would 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 But it was you, a man equal to myself, my companion and my close friend.
And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
14 We had sweet fellowship together; we walked in the house of God with the throng.
Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
15 Let death come suddenly on them; let them go down alive to Sheol, for wickedness is where they live, right 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 on God, and Yahweh will save me.
I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
17 In the evening, morning and at noonday I complain and moan; he will hear my voice.
Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
18 He will safely rescue my life from the battle that was against me, for those who fought against me were many.
He will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are with me.
19 God, the one who rules from eternity, will hear them and humiliate them. (Selah) They never change, and they 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 My friend has raised his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has not respected the covenant that he had.
He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was hostile; his words were softer than oil, yet they were actually 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 Place your burdens on Yahweh, and he will sustain you; he will never allow a righteous person to totter.
Cast on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
23 But you, God, will bring the wicked down into the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live even half as long as others, but I will 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.
