Chapter 55
| Psal | NETfree | 55:1 | For the music director, to be accompanied by stringed instruments; a well-written song by David.Listen, O God, to my prayer! Do not ignore my appeal for mercy! | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:2 | Pay attention to me and answer me! I am so upset and distressed, I am beside myself, | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:3 | because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me, for they hurl trouble down upon me and angrily attack me. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:6 | I say, "I wish I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and settle in a safe place! | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:9 | Confuse them, O Lord! Frustrate their plans! For I see violence and conflict in the city. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:10 | Day and night they walk around on its walls, while wickedness and destruction are within it. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:12 | Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me, or else I could bear it; it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me, or else I could hide from him. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:14 | We would share personal thoughts with each other; in God's temple we would walk together among the crowd. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:15 | May death destroy them! May they go down alive into Sheol! For evil is in their dwelling place and in their midst. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:17 | During the evening, morning, and noontime I will lament and moan, and he will hear me. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:18 | He will rescue me and protect me from those who attack me, even though they greatly outnumber me. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:19 | God, the one who has reigned as king from long ago, will hear and humiliate them. (Selah) They refuse to change, and do not fear God. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:21 | His words are as smooth as butter, but he harbors animosity in his heart. His words seem softer than oil, but they are really like sharp swords. | |
| Psal | NETfree | 55:22 | Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the godly to be upended. | |
