Psalms 54

1

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?} O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice.

2

O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3

For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.

4

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul.

5

He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off.

6

I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good.

7

For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen [its desire] upon mine enemies.

Psalms 55

1

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

2

Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,

3

Because of the voice of the enemy; because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.

4

My heart is writhing within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

5

Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

6

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;

7

Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah;

8

I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.

9

Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10

Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.

11

Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.

12

For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me -- then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified [himself] against me -- then would I have hidden myself from him;

13

But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ...

14

We who held sweet intercourse together. To the house of God we walked amid the throng.

15

Let death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwellings, in their midst.

16

As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me.

17

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice.

18

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.

19

łGod will hear, and afflict them: he that is seated of old, (Selah) ... because there is no change in them, and they fear not God.

20

He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.

21

Smooth were the milky [words] of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.

22

Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and *he* will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

23

And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.

Psalms 56

1

{To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

2

Mine enemies would swallow [me] up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

3

In the day that I am afraid, I will confide in thee.

4

In God will I praise his word, in God I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can flesh do unto me?

5

All the day long they wrest my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.

6

They gather themselves together, they hide themselves; they mark my steps, because they wait for my soul.

7

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, O God.

8

*Thou* countest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

9

Then shall mine enemies return backward in the day when I call: this I know, for God is for me.

10

In God will I praise [his] word; in Jehovah will I praise [his] word.

11

In God have I put my confidence: I will not fear; what can man do unto me?

12

Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render thanks unto thee.

13

For thou hast delivered my soul from death; [wilt thou] not [keep] my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
