Psalms 55:23 - Prayer Tents

55[To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.] Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!H5329H5058H4905H1732H238H8605H430H5956H8467 2Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan,H7181H6030H7300H7879H1949 3because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me.H6963H341H6440H6125H7563H4131H205H639H7852 4My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me.H3820H2342H7130H367H4194H5307 5Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.H3374H7461H935H6427H3680 6And I say, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest;H559H5414H83H3123H5774H7931 7yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; SelahH5074H7368H3885H4057H5542 8I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest."H2363H4655H7307H5584H5591 9Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues; for I see violence and strife in the city.H1104H136H6385H3956H7200H2555H7379H5892 10Day and night they go around it on its walls, and iniquity and trouble are within it;H3119H3915H5437H2346H205H5999H7130 11ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its marketplace.H1942H7130H8496H4820H4185H7339 12For it is not an enemy who taunts me— then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me— then I could hide from him.H341H2778H5375H8130H1431H5641 13But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend.H582H6187H441H3045 14We used to take sweet counsel together; within God's house we walked in the throng.H4985H5475H3162H1980H1004H430H7285 15Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.H4194H5377H3451H3381H2416H7585H7451H4033H7130 16But I call to God, and the LORD will save me.H7121H430H3068H3467 17Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice.H6153H1242H6672H7878H1993H8085H6963 18He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me.H6299H5315H7965H7128H7227 19God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.H410H8085H6030H3427H6924H5542H2487H3372H430 20My companion stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant.H7971H3027H7965H2490H1285 21His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.H6310H2505H4260H7128H3820H1697H7401H8081H6609 22Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.H7993H3053H3068H3557H5769H5414H6662H4131 23But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you.H430H3381H875H7845H1818H4820H582H2673H3117H982
