Psalms 55 To the director; among hymns of contemplation; to Asaph.

0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G1722 among G5215 hymns G4907 of contemplation; G3588 to G* Asaph.

1 G1801 Give ear, G3588 O G2316 God, G3588 to G4335 my prayer! G1473 G2532 for G3361 you should not G5237 overlook G3588 G1162 my supplication. G1473

2 G4337 Take heed G1473 to me, G2532 and G1522 listen to G1473 me! G3076 I was fretted G1722 in G3588 G96.2 my meditation G1473 G2532 and G5015 was disturbed,

3 G575 from G5456 the voice G2190 of the enemy, G2532 and G575 from G2347 the affliction G268 of the sinner; G3754 for G1578 they turned aside G1909 against G1473 me G458 for lawlessness, G2532 and G1722 in G3709 anger G1465.1 they displayed anger G1473 against me.

4 G3588 G2588 My heart G1473 G5015 was disturbed G1722 in G1473 me, G2532 and G1167 dread G2288 of death G1968 fell G1909 upon G1473 me.

5 G5401 Fear G2532 and G5156 trembling G2064 came G1909 upon G1473 me, G2532 and G2572 [²covered G1473 ³me G4655 ¹darkness].

6 G2532 And G2036 I said, G5100 Why G1325 shall he not give G1473 to me G4420 wings G5616 as G4058 a dove, G2532 and G4070.3 I shall spread out G2532 and G2664 I shall rest?

7 G2400 Behold, G3118.2 I was far off G5435.6 being driven into exile, G2532 and G835 was lodged G1722 in G3588 the G2048 wilderness.

8 G4327 I waited for G3588 the G4982 one delivering G1473 me G575 from G3641.4 faint-heartedness G2532 and G2616.6 the gale.

9 G2670 Sink them, G2962 O lord, G2532 and G2612.1 divide G3588 G1100 their tongues! G1473 G3754 for G1492 I saw G458 lawlessness G2532 and G485 dispute G1722 in G3588 the G4172 city.

10 G2250 Day G2532 and G3571 night G2944 he shall encircle G1473 her G1909 upon G3588 G5038 her walls; G1473 G2532 and G458 lawlessness G2532 and G4192 misery G1722 will be in G3319 the midst G1473 of her;

11 G2532 and G93 injustice, G2532 and G3756 [⁴ceased not G1587 G1537 ⁵from out of G3588 G4113 ⁶her squares G1473 G5110 ¹usury G2532 ²and G1388 ³treachery].

12 G3754 For G1487 if G2190 an enemy G3679 berated G1473 me, G5297 I would have endured. G302 G2532 And G1487 if G3588 the G3404 one detesting G1473 me G1909 [²against G1473 ³me G3169.2 ¹spoke great words], G2928 I would have hidden G302 G575 from G1473 him.

13 G1473 But you, G1161 G444 O man, G2473 are like-minded, G2232 a leader G1473 of mine, G2532 and G1109 my diviner, G1473

14 G3739 who G2009.1 together G1098.2 you sweetened G1475.1 foods; G1722 in G3588 the G3624 house G3588 G2316 of God G4198 we went G1722 in G3672.4 concord.

15 G2064 And let [²come G1161 G2288 ¹death] G1909 upon G1473 them, G2532 and G2597 let them go down G1519 into G86 Hades G2198 alive! G3754 For G4189 wickedness G1722 in G3588 G3940 their sojourn, G1473 G1722 is in G3319 the midst G1473 of them.

16 G1473 I G4314 [²to G3588 G2316 ³God G2896 ¹cried out], G2532 and G3588 the G2962 lord G1522 listened to G1473 me.

17 G2073 Evening G2532 and G4404 morning G2532 and G3314 at midday G1334 I describe G2532 and G518 report; G2532 and G1522 he shall listen to G3588 G5456 my voice. G1473

18 G3084 He shall ransom G1722 [²in G1515 ³peace G3588 G5590 ¹my soul] G1473 G575 from G3588 the ones G1448 approaching G1473 me; G3754 for G1722 among G4183 many G1510.7.6 they were G4862 with G1473 me.

19 G1522 God shall listen, G3588 G2316 G2532 and G5013 [⁶shall humble G1473 ⁷them G3588 ¹the one G5224 ²existing G4253 ³before G3588 ⁴the G165 ⁵eons]. G1316.1 PAUSE. G3756 [³no G1063 ¹For G1510.2.3 ²there is G1473 ⁵with them G465 ⁴bargaining], G3754 for G3756 they do not G5399 fear G3588 G2316 God.

20 G1614 He stretched out G3588 G5495 his hand G1473 G1722 in G3588 G591 recompensing; G953 they profaned G3588 G1242 his covenant. G1473

21 G1266 He divided them into parts G575 from G3709 the anger G3588 G4383 of his face, G1473 G2532 and G1448 [²approached G3588 G2588 ¹their hearts]. G1473 G527.2 [²were made tender G3588 G3056 ¹His words] G1473 G5228 above G1637 olive oil, G2532 yet G1473 they G1510.2.6 are G1002 arrows.

22 G1977 Cast G1909 upon G2962 the lord G3588 G3308 your anxiety, G1473 G2532 and G1473 he G1473 will nourish you! G1303.5 G3756 He will not G1325 grant G1519 [⁴into G3588 ⁵the G165 ⁶eon G4535 ³for a tossing about G3588 ¹the G1342 ²just].

23 G1473 But you, G1161 G3588 O G2316 God, G2609 shall lead G1473 them down G1519 into G5421 the well G1312 of corruption; G435 men G129 of blood G2532 and G1386.1 deceit G3766.2 in no way G2254.4 shall live half G3588 G2250 their days. G1473 G1473 But I, G1161 G2962 O lord, G1679 shall hope G1909 upon G1473 you.

Geneva ⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David to give instruction. Heare my prayer, O God, and hide not thy selfe from my supplication. ² Hearken vnto me, and answere me: I mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse, ³ For the voyce of the enemie, and for the vexation of ye wicked, because they haue brought iniquitie vpon me, and furiously hate me. ⁴ Mine heart trembleth within mee, and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me. ⁵ Feare and trembling are come vpon mee, and an horrible feare hath couered me. ⁶ And I said, Oh that I had wings like a doue: then would I flie away and rest. ⁷ Beholde, I woulde take my flight farre off, and lodge in the wildernes. Selah. ⁸ Hee would make haste for my deliuerance from the stormie winde and tempest. ⁹ Destroy, O Lord, and deuide their tongues: for I haue seene crueltie and strife in the citie. ¹⁰ Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: both iniquitie and mischiefe are in the middes of it. ¹¹ Wickednes is in the middes thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streetes. ¹² Surely mine enemie did not defame mee: for I could haue borne it: neither did mine aduersarie exalt himselfe against mee: for I would haue hid me from him. ¹³ But it was thou, O man, euen my companion, my guide and my familiar: ¹⁴ Which delited in consulting together, and went into the House of God as companions. ¹⁵ Let death sense vpon them: let them goe downe quicke into the graue: for wickednes is in their dwellings, euen in the middes of them. ¹⁶ But I will call vnto God, and the Lord will saue me. ¹⁷ Euening and morning, and at noone will I pray, and make a noyse, and he wil heare my voice. ¹⁸ He hath deliuered my soule in peace from the battel, that was against me: for many were with me. ¹⁹ God shall heare and afflict them, euen hee that reigneth of olde, Selah. because they haue no changes, therefore they feare not God. ²⁰ Hee layed his hande vpon such, as be at peace with him, and he brake his couenant. ²¹ The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter, yet warre was in his heart: his words were more gentle then oyle, yet they were swordes. ²² Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and hee shall nourish thee: he wil not suffer the righteous to fall for euer. ²³ And thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pitte of corruption: the bloudie, and deceitfull men shall not liue halfe their dayes: but I will trust in thee.

Bishops ⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ O Lorde geue eare vnto my prayer: and hide not thy selfe from my petition ² Take heede vnto me, and heare me: I can not choose but mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse ³ [Deliuer me] from the voyce of the enemie, and from the present affliction of the wicked: for they are minded to do me mischiefe, and are set malitiously against me ⁴ My heart trembleth within me: and the feare of death is fallen vpon me ⁵ Fearefulnes and trembling are come vpon me: and an horrible dread hath ouerwhelmed me ⁶ And I sayde, O that I had wynges like a doue: for then woulde I flee away, and be at rest ⁷ Lo, then woulde I fleeing get me away farre of: and remayne in the wyldernesse. Selah ⁸ Then woulde I make hast to escape: from the stormie wynde, [and] from the tempest ⁹ Destroy their tongues O Lorde, and deuide [them]: for I haue seene oppression and strife in the citie ¹⁰ They do compasse it day and night within the walles: mischiefe also and labour, are in the midst of it ¹¹ Malice is in the midst of it: disceipt and guyle go not out of her streates ¹² Truely he was not mine enemie that hath done me this dishonour, for then I coulde haue borne it: neither was he one that seemed to hate me that dyd magnifie hym selfe against me, for then I woulde haue hyd my selfe from him ¹³ But it was euen thou whom I esteemed as my selfe: my guyde, and myne owne familier companion ¹⁴ We delighted greatly to conferre our secretes together: we walked deuoutly in the house of God felowe lyke ¹⁵ Let death sodainly come vpon them, let them go downe quicke into hell: for wickednes is in their dwellinges and among them ¹⁶ As for me I wyll crye vnto the Lord: and God wyll saue me ¹⁷ In the euening and morning, and at noone day wyll I pray, and that most instantly: and he wyll heare my voyce ¹⁸ He hath redeemed my soule through peace from the battayle that was against me: for there were many with me ¹⁹ The Lorde who sitteth [a ruler] from the beginning, wyll heare [me] and afflict them, Selah: forsomuche as there is no chaunge in them, and for that they do not feare God ²⁰ He layde his handes vpon such as be at peace with him: and he brake his couenaunt ²¹ The [wordes] of his mouth were softer then butter, yet warre was in his heart: his wordes were smother then oyle, and yet be they very swordes ²² O cast thy burthen vpon God, and he wyll vpholde thee: he wyll not suffer at any time the righteous to moue ²³ [And as for] them: thou O Lorde wylt hurle headlong into the pit of destruction.

1 H5329 To the chief Musician [H8764] H5058 on Neginoth H4905 , Maschil [H8688] H1732 , A Psalm of David H238 . Give ear [H8685] H8605 to my prayer H430 , O God H5956 ; and hide [H8691] H8467 not thyself from my supplication.

2 H7181 Attend [H8685] H6030 unto me, and hear [H8798] H7300 me: I mourn [H8686] H7879 in my complaint H1949 , and make a noise [H8686] ;

3 H6963 Because of the voice H341 of the enemy [H8802] H6440 , because H6125 of the oppression H7563 of the wicked H4131 : for they cast [H8686] H205 iniquity H639 upon me, and in wrath H7852 they hate [H8799] me.

4 H3820 My heart H2342 is sore pained [H8799] H7130 within H367 me: and the terrors H4194 of death H5307 are fallen [H8804] upon me.

5 H3374 Fearfulness H7461 and trembling H935 are come [H8799] H6427 upon me, and horror H3680 hath overwhelmed [H8762] me.

6 H559 And I said [H8799] H5414 , Oh that [H8799] H83 I had wings H3123 like a dove H5774 ! for then would I fly away [H8799] H7931 , and be at rest [H8799] .

7 H5074 Lo, then would I wander [H8800] H7368 far off [H8686] H3885 , and remain [H8799] H4057 in the wilderness H5542 . Selah.

8 H2363 I would hasten [H8686] H4655 my escape H7307 from the windy H5584 storm [H8801] H5591 and tempest.

9 H1104 Destroy [H8761] H136 , O Lord H6385 , and divide [H8761] H3956 their tongues H7200 : for I have seen [H8804] H2555 violence H7379 and strife H5892 in the city.

10 H3119 Day H3915 and night H5437 they go about [H8779] H2346 it upon the walls H205 thereof: mischief H5999 also and sorrow H7130 are in the midst of it.

11 H1942 Wickedness H7130 is in the midst H8496 thereof: deceit H4820 and guile H4185 depart [H8686] H7339 not from her streets.

12 H341 For it was not an enemy [H8802] H2778 that reproached [H8762] H5375 me; then I could have borne [H8799] H8130 it : neither was it he that hated [H8764] H1431 me that did magnify [H8689] H5641 himself against me; then I would have hid [H8735] myself from him:

13 H582 But it was thou, a man H6187 mine equal H441 , my guide H3045 , and mine acquaintance [H8794] .

14 H4985 We took sweet [H8686] H5475 counsel H3162 together H1980 , and walked [H8762] H1004 unto the house H430 of God H7285 in company.

15 H4194 Let death H5377 seize [H8686] [H8675] H3451 H3381 upon them, and let them go down [H8799] H2416 quick H7585 into hell H7451 : for wickedness H4033 is in their dwellings H7130 , and among them.

16 H7121 As for me, I will call [H8799] H430 upon God H3068 ; and the LORD H3467 shall save [H8686] me.

17 H6153 Evening H1242 , and morning H6672 , and at noon H7878 , will I pray [H8799] H1993 , and cry aloud [H8799] H8085 : and he shall hear [H8799] H6963 my voice.

18 H6299 He hath delivered [H8804] H5315 my soul H7965 in peace H7128 from the battle H7227 that was against me: for there were many with me.

19 H410 God H8085 shall hear [H8799] H6030 , and afflict [H8799] H3427 them, even he that abideth [H8802] H6924 of old H5542 . Selah H2487 . Because they have no changes H3372 , therefore they fear [H8804] H430 not God.

20 H7971 He hath put forth [H8804] H3027 his hands H7965 against such as be at peace H2490 with him: he hath broken [H8765] H1285 his covenant.

21 H6310 The words of his mouth H2505 were smoother [H8804] H4260 than butter H7128 , but war H3820 was in his heart H1697 : his words H7401 were softer [H8804] H8081 than oil H6609 , yet were they drawn swords.

22 H7993 Cast [H8685] H3053 thy burden H3068 upon the LORD H3557 , and he shall sustain [H8770] H5769 thee: he shall never H5414 suffer [H8799] H6662 the righteous H4131 to be moved [H8800] .

23 H430 But thou, O God H3381 , shalt bring them down [H8686] H875 into the pit H7845 of destruction H1818 : bloody H4820 and deceitful H582 men H2673 shall not live out half [H8799] H3117 their days H982 ; but I will trust [H8799] in thee.

YLT ⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To the Overseer with stringed instruments. --An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer, And hide not from my supplication. ² Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my meditation, and make a noise, ³ Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me. ⁴ My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me. ⁵ Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me. ⁶ And I say, `Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest, ⁷ Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. Selah. ⁸ I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
⁹ Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city. ¹⁰ By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness are in its midst, ¹¹ Mischiefs are in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street. ¹² For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear it, He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him. ¹³ But thou, a man--as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance. ¹⁴ When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company. ¹⁵ Desolations are upon them, They go down to Sheol--alive, For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.
¹⁶ I--to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me. ¹⁷ Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice, ¹⁸ He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me. ¹⁹ God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God, ²⁰ He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant. ²¹ Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart is war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they are drawn swords . ²² Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous. ²³ And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I--I do trust in Thee!

ASV ⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication. ² Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan, ³ Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me. ⁴ My heart is sore pained within me: And the terrors of death are fallen upon me. ⁵ Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, And horror hath overwhelmed me. ⁶ And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then would I fly away, and be at rest. ⁷ Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah ⁸ I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest. ⁹ Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city. ¹⁰ Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it. ¹¹ Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its streets. ¹² For 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: ¹³ But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend. ¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng. ¹⁵ Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. ¹⁶ As for me, I will call upon God; And Jehovah will save me. ¹⁷ Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice. ¹⁸ He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many that strove with me. ¹⁹ God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah The men who have no changes, And who fear not God. ²⁰ He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant. ²¹ His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords. ²² Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved. ²³ But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee. Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. A Psalm of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.
