Mga Awit 55

Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan

3 Dahil sa tinig ng kaaway, dahil sa pagpighati ng masama; sapagka't sila'y naghagis ng kasamaan sa akin, at sa galit ay inuusig nila ako.

12 Sapagka't hindi kaaway ang dumuwahagi sa akin; akin nga sanang nabata: ni hindi rin ang nagtatanim sa akin ang nagmamalaki laban sa akin; nagtago nga sana ako sa kaniya:

Cast your burden on the LORD and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
