Psalms 55:23 - Prayer Tents

55To the Chief Musician. With stringed instruments. A Contmeplation of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God, And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.H5329H5058H4905H1732H238H8605H430H5956H8467 2Attend to me, and hear me; I am restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,H7181H6030H7300H7879H1949 3Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they bring down trouble upon me, And in wrath they hate me.H6963H341H6440H6125H7563H4131H205H639H7852 4My heart is severely pained within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.H3820H2342H7130H367H4194H5307 5Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, And horror has overwhelmed me.H3374H7461H935H6427H3680 6So I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.H559H5414H83H3123H5774H7931 7Indeed, I would wander far off, And remain in the wilderness. SelahH5074H7368H3885H4057H5542 8I would hasten my escape From the windy storm and tempest."H2363H4655H7307H5584H5591 9Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.H1104H136H6385H3956H7200H2555H7379H5892 10Day and night they go around it on its walls; Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.H3119H3915H5437H2346H205H5999H7130 11Destruction is in its midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from its 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 from him.H341H2778H5375H8130H1431H5641 13But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance.H582H6187H441H3045 14We took sweet counsel together, And walked to the house of God in the throng.H4985H5475H3162H1980H1004H430H7285 15Let death seize them; Let them go down alive into hell, For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.H4194H5377H3451H3381H2416H7585H7451H4033H7130 16As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me.H7121H430H3068H3467 17Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.H6153H1242H6672H7878H1993H8085H6963 18He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me.H6299H5315H7965H7128H7227 19God will hear, and afflict them, Even He who abides from of old. Selah Because they do not change, Therefore they do not fear God.H410H8085H6030H3427H6924H5542H2487H3372H430 20He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has broken his covenant.H7971H3027H7965H2490H1285 21The 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.H6310H2505H4260H7128H3820H1697H7401H8081H6609 22Cast your burden on the LORD, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.H7993H3053H3068H3557H5769H5414H6662H4131 23But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in You.H430H3381H875H7845H1818H4820H582H2673H3117H982
