PS 55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn
in my complaint, and make a noise; PS 55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. PS 55:4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. PS 55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. PS 55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. PS 55:7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. PS 55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. PS 55:9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. PS 55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. PS 55:11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. PS 55:12 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: PS 55:13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. PS 55:14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. PS 55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. PS 55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. PS 55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. PS 55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. PS 55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. PS 55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. PS 55:21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. PS 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. PS 55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee. PS 56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. PS 56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. PS 56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. PS 56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. PS 56:5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. PS 56:6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. PS 56:7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. PS 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? PS 56:9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. PS 56:10 In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. PS 56:11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. PS 56:12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. PS 56:13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living? PS 57:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave. Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. PS 57:2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. PS 57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. PS 57:4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. PS 57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. PS 57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. PS 57:7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. PS 57:8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. PS 57:9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. PS 57:10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. PS 57:11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. PS 58:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? PS 58:2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. PS 58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. PS 58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; PS 58:5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. PS 58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. PS 58:7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. PS 58:8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. PS 58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. PS 58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. PS 58:11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. PS 59:1 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. PS 59:2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. PS 59:3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. PS 59:4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. PS 59:5 Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. PS 59:6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. PS 59:7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? PS 59:8 But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. PS 59:9 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. PS 59:10 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. PS 59:11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. PS 59:12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. PS 59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. PS 59:14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. PS 59:15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. PS 59:16 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. PS 59:17 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy. PS 60:1 To the chief Musician upon Shushaneduth, Michtam of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand. O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. |
