Psalms 55

Young's Literal Translation YLT

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!

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 God, listen to my prayer and do not ignore my plea for help.

2 Pay attention to me and answer me. I am restless and in turmoil with my complaint,

3 because of the enemy's voice, because of the pressure of the wicked. For they bring down disaster on me and harass me in anger.

4 My heart shudders within me; terrors of death sweep over me.

5 Fear and trembling grip me; horror has overwhelmed me.

6 I said, "If only I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.

7 How far away I would flee; I would stay in the wilderness. Selah

8 I would hurry to my shelter from the raging wind and the storm."

9 Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city;

10 day and night they make the rounds on its walls. Crime and trouble are within it;

11 destruction is inside it; oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.

12 Now, it is not an enemy who insults me- otherwise I could bear it; it is not a foe who rises up against me- otherwise I could hide from him.

13 But it is you, a man who is my peer, my companion and good friend!

14 We used to have close fellowship; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.

15 Let death take them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, because evil is in their homes and within them.

16 But I call to God, and the Lord will save me.

17 I complain and groan morning, noon, and night, and He hears my voice.

18 Though many are against me, He will redeem me from my battle unharmed.

19 God, the One enthroned from long ago, will hear, and will humiliate them Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.

20 He acts violently against those at peace with him; he violates his covenant.

21 His buttery words are smooth, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, but they are drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will support you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

23 You, God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and treachery will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
