<To the chief Musician <H5329> on Neginoth, <H5058> Maschil, <H4905> <H7919> [A Psalm] of David.> <H1732> Give ear <H0238> to my prayer, <H8605> O God; <H0430> and hide <H5956> not thyself from my supplication. <H8467>
2
Attend <H7181> unto me, and hear <H6030> me: I mourn <H7300> in my complaint, <H7879> and make a noise; <H1949>
3
Because of the voice <H6963> of the enemy, <H0341> because <H6440> of the oppression <H6125> of the wicked: <H7563> for they cast <H4131> iniquity <H0205> upon me, and in wrath <H0639> they hate <H7852> me.
4
My heart <H3820> is sore pained <H2342> within <H7130> me: and the terrors <H0367> of death <H4194> are fallen <H5307> upon me.
5
Fearfulness <H3374> and trembling <H7461> are come <H0935> upon me, and horror <H6427> hath overwhelmed <H3680> me.
6
And I said, <H0559> Oh that <H5414> I had wings <H0083> like a dove! <H3123> [for then] would I fly away, <H5774> and be at rest. <H7931>
7
Lo, [then] would I wander <H5074> far off, <H7368> [and] remain <H3885> in the wilderness. <H4057> Selah. <H5542>
8
I would hasten <H2363> my escape <H4655> from the windy <H7307> storm <H5584> [and] tempest. <H5591>
9
Destroy, <H1104> O Lord, <H0136> [and] divide <H6385> their tongues: <H3956> for I have seen <H7200> violence <H2555> and strife <H7379> in the city. <H5892>
10
Day <H3119> and night <H3915> they go about <H5437> it upon the walls <H2346> thereof: mischief <H0205> also and sorrow <H5999> [are] in the midst <H7130> of it.
11
Wickedness <H1942> [is] in the midst <H7130> thereof: deceit <H8496> and guile <H4820> depart <H4185> not from her streets. <H7339>
12
For [it was] not an enemy <H0341> [that] reproached <H2778> me; then I could have borne <H5375> [it]: neither [was it] he that hated <H8130> me [that] did magnify <H1431> [himself] against me; then I would have hid <H5641> myself from him:
13
But [it was] thou, a man <H0582> mine equal, <H6187> my guide, <H0441> and mine acquaintance. <H3045>
14
We took sweet <H4985> counsel <H5475> together, <H3162> [and] walked <H1980> unto the house <H1004> of God <H0430> in company. <H7285>
15
Let death <H4194> seize <H5377> upon them, [and] let them go down <H3381> quick <H2416> into hell: <H7585> for wickedness <H7451> [is] in their dwellings, <H4033> [and] among <H7130> them.
16
As for me, I will call <H7121> upon God; <H0430> and the LORD <H3068> shall save <H3467> me.
17
Evening, <H6153> and morning, <H1242> and at noon, <H6672> will I pray, <H7878> and cry aloud: <H1993> and he shall hear <H8085> my voice. <H6963>
18
He hath delivered <H6299> my soul <H5315> in peace <H7965> from the battle <H7128> [that was] against me: for there were many <H7227> with me.
19
God <H0410> shall hear, <H8085> and afflict <H6030> them, even he that abideth <H3427> of old. <H6924> Selah. <H5542> Because they have no changes, <H2487> therefore they fear <H3372> not God. <H0430>
20
He hath put forth <H7971> his hands <H3027> against such as be at peace <H7965> with him: he hath broken <H2490> his covenant. <H1285>
21
[The words] of his mouth <H6310> were smoother <H2505> than butter, <H4260> but war <H7128> [was] in his heart: <H3820> his words <H1697> were softer <H7401> than oil, <H8081> yet [were] they drawn swords. <H6609>
22
Cast <H7993> thy burden <H3053> upon the LORD, <H3068> and he shall sustain <H3557> thee: he shall never <H3808> <H5769> suffer <H5414> the righteous <H6662> to be moved. <H4131>
23
But thou, O God, <H0430> shalt bring them down <H3381> into the pit <H0875> of destruction: <H7845> bloody <H1818> and deceitful <H4820> men <H0582> shall not live out half <H2673> their days; <H3117> but I will trust <H0982> in thee.
