19_PSA_55_01 to the chief Musician on Neginoth , Maschil , [ A Psalm ] of David . give ear to my prayer , O God ; And hide not thyself from my supplication .
19_PSA_55_02 attend unto me , And hear me : I mourn in my complaint , And make A noise ;
19_PSA_55_03 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 .
19_PSA_55_04 my heart Is sore pained within me : And the terrors of death are fallen upon me .
19_PSA_55_05 Fearfulness And trembling are come upon me , And Horror hath overwhelmed me .
19_PSA_55_06 And I said , Oh that I had wings like A dove ! [ for Then ] would I fly away , And be at rest .
19_PSA_55_07 Lo , [ Then ] would I wander far off , [ And ] remain in the wilderness . Selah .
19_PSA_55_08 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [ And ] tempest .
19_PSA_55_09 destroy , O LORD , [ And ] divide their tongues : for I have seen violence And strife in the city .
19_PSA_55_10 day And night they go about it upon the walls thereof : mischief also And sorrow [ are ] in the midst of it .
19_PSA_55_11 wickedness [ Is ] in the midst thereof : Deceit And guile Depart not from her streets .
19_PSA_55_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 :
19_PSA_55_13 but [ it was ] thou , A man mine equal , my guide , And mine acquaintance .
19_PSA_55_14 we took sweet counsel together , [ And ] walked unto the house of God in company .
19_PSA_55_15 let death seize upon them , [ And ] let them go down quick into hell : for wickedness [ Is ] in their dwellings , [ And ] among them .
19_PSA_55_16 as for me , I will call upon God ; And the LORD shall save me .
19_PSA_55_17 evening , And morning , And at noon , will I pray , And cry aloud : And he shall hear my voice .
19_PSA_55_18 he hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [ that was ] against me : for there were Many with me .
19_PSA_55_19 God shall hear , And afflict them , even he that abideth of old . Selah . because they have no changes , therefore they Fear not God .
19_PSA_55_20 he hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him : he hath broken his covenant .
19_PSA_55_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 .
19_PSA_55_22 cast thy burden upon the LORD , And he shall sustain thee : he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved .
19_PSA_55_23 but thou , O God , 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 .
