55LISTEN TO my prayer, O God, and hide not Yourself from my supplication!H5329H5058H4905H1732H238H8605H430H5956H8467 2Attend to me and answer me; I am restless {and} distraught in my complaint and must moanH7181H6030H7300H7879H1949 3[And I am distracted] at the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression {and} threats of the wicked; for they would cast trouble upon me, and in wrath they persecute me.H6963H341H6440H6125H7563H4131H205H639H7852 4My heart is grievously pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.H3820H2342H7130H367H4194H5307 5Fear and trembling have come upon me; horror {and} fright have overwhelmed 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. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!H5074H7368H3885H4057H5542 8I would hasten to escape {and} to find a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.H2363H4655H7307H5584H5591 9Destroy [their schemes], O Lord, confuse their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.H1104H136H6385H3956H7200H2555H7379H5892 10Day and night they go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in its midst.H3119H3915H5437H2346H205H5999H7130 11Violence {and} ruin are within it; fraud and guile do not depart from its streets {and} marketplaces.H1942H7130H8496H4820H4185H7339 12For it is not an enemy who reproaches {and} taunts me--then I might bear it; nor is it one who has hated me who insolently vaunts himself against me--then I might hide from him.H341H2778H5375H8130H1431H5641 13But it was you, a man my equal, my companion and my familiar friend.H582H6187H441H3045 14We had sweet fellowship together and used to walk to the house of God in company.H4985H5475H3162H1980H1004H430H7285 15Let desolations {and} death come suddenly upon them; let them go down alive to Sheol (the place of the dead), for evils are in their habitations, in their hearts, {and} their inmost part.H4194H5377H3451H3381H2416H7585H7451H4033H7130 16As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord will save me.H7121H430H3068H3467 17Evening and morning and at noon will I utter my complaint and moan {and} sigh, and He will hear my voice.H6153H1242H6672H7878H1993H8085H6963 18He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me [so that none came near me], for they were many who strove with me.H6299H5315H7965H7128H7227 19God will hear and humble them, even He Who abides of old--Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!--because in them there has been no change [of heart], and they do not fear, revere, {and} worship God.H410H8085H6030H3427H6924H5542H2487H3372H430 20[My companion] has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has broken {and} profaned his agreement [of friendship and loyalty].H7971H3027H7965H2490H1285 21The words of his mouth were smoother than cream {or} butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.H6310H2505H4260H7128H3820H1697H7401H8081H6609 22Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail).H7993H3053H3068H3557H5769H5414H6662H4131 23But You, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in, lean on, {and} confidently rely on You.H430H3381H875H7845H1818H4820H582H2673H3117H982
