Psalm 55
55
1 Unto the end. For the people who have become far removed from the Sacred. Of David, with the inscription of a title, when the Philistines held him in Gath.
2 Have mercy on me, O God, because man has trampled over me. All day long, he has afflicted me by fighting against me.
3 My enemies have trampled over me all day long. For those who make war against me are many.
4 From the height of the day, I will be afraid. But truly, I will hope in you.
5 In God, I will praise my words. In God, I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me.
6 All day long, they curse my words. All their intentions are for evil against me.
7 They will dwell and hide themselves. They will watch my heel, just as they waited for my soul;
8 because of this, nothing will save them. In your anger, you will crush the people.
9 O God, I have announced my life to you. You have placed my tears in your sight, and even in your promise.
10 Then my enemies will be turned back. On whatever day that I call upon you, behold, I know that you are my God.
11 In God, I will praise the word. In the Lord, I will praise his speech. In God, I have hoped. I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 My vows to you, O God, are in me. I will repay them. Praises be to you.
13 For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from slipping, so that I may be pleasing in the sight of God, in the light of the living.

Psalm 55
To the Overcomer on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David.
1¶ Give ear to my prayer, O God, and do not hide thyself from my supplication.
2Attend unto me and hear me: I mourn in my complaint and make a noise
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.
4My heart is sore pained within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away and be at rest.
7Behold, then I would flee far away and dwell in the wilderness. Selah.
8I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
9¶ Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11Wickedness is in the midst thereof; deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
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:
13But it was thou, who in my estimation was, my lord, and of my own family.
14We took sweet counsel together and walked unto the house of God in company.
15Let them be condemned unto death, and let them go down alive into Sheol for wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.
16¶ As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me.
17Evening and morning and at noon I will pray and cry aloud, and he shall hear my voice.
18He has ransomed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many against me.
19God shall hear and bring them down, even he that abides from of old. Selah. Because they do not change, nor do they fear God.
20He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him; he has defiled his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
22Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of the grave; bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in thee.
