Psalms Psalm 54 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? 54:1Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. 54:2Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. 54:3For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. 54:4Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. 54:5He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. 54:6I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. 54:7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. Psalm 55 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. 55:1Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 55:2Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 55:3Because 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. 55:4My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 55:5Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. 55:6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. 55:7Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. 55:8I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. 55:9Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 55:10Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 55:11Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. 55:12For 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: 55:13But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 55:14We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. 55:15Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. 55:16As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. 55:17Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. 55:18He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. 55:19God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. 55:20He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. 55:21The 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. 55:22Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 55:23But 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.
