Psalms 55:23 - Prayer Tents

55{For the choir director; on stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; And do not hide Thyself from my supplication.H5329H5058H4905H1732H238H8605H430H5956H8467 2Give heed to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and am surely distracted,H7181H6030H7300H7879H1949 3Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the pressure of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in anger they bear a grudge against me.H6963H341H6440H6125H7563H4131H205H639H7852 4My heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.H3820H2342H7130H367H4194H5307 5Fear and trembling come upon me; And horror has overwhelmed me.H3374H7461H935H6427H3680 6And I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.H559H5414H83H3123H5774H7931 7"Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.H5074H7368H3885H4057H5542 8"I would hasten to my place of refuge From the stormy wind [and] tempest."H2363H4655H7307H5584H5591 9Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.H1104H136H6385H3956H7200H2555H7379H5892 10Day and night they go around her upon her walls; And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.H3119H3915H5437H2346H205H5999H7130 11Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.H1942H7130H8496H4820H4185H7339 12For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear [it]; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.H341H2778H5375H8130H1431H5641 13But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend.H582H6187H441H3045 14We who had sweet fellowship together, Walked in the house of God in the throng.H4985H5475H3162H1980H1004H430H7285 15Let death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.H4194H5377H3451H3381H2416H7585H7451H4033H7130 16As for me, I shall call upon God, And the LORD will save me.H7121H430H3068H3467 17Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur, And He will hear my voice.H6153H1242H6672H7878H1993H8085H6963 18He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle [which is] against me, For they are many [who strive] with me.H6299H5315H7965H7128H7227 19God will hear and answer them— Even the one who sits enthroned from of old— Selah. With whom there is no change, And who do not fear God.H410H8085H6030H3427H6924H5542H2487H3372H430 20He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.H7971H3027H7965H2490H1285 21His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.H6310H2505H4260H7128H3820H1697H7401H8081H6609 22Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.H7993H3053H3068H3557H5769H5414H6662H4131 23But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in Thee.H430H3381H875H7845H1818H4820H582H2673H3117H982
