1 To the chief Musician 5329 on Neginoth 5058, Maschil 4905, A Psalm of David 1732. Give ear 238 to my prayer 8605, O God 430; and hide 5956 not thyself from my supplication 8467.
2 Attend 7181 unto me, and hear 6030 me: I mourn 7300 in my complaint 7879, and make a noise 1949;
3 Because of the voice 6963 of the enemy 341, because 6440 of the oppression 6125 of the wicked 7563: for they cast 4131 iniquity 205 upon me, and in wrath 639 they hate 7852 me.
4 My heart 3820 is sore pained 2342 within 7130 me: and the terrors 367 of death 4194 are fallen 5307 upon me.
5 Fearfulness 3374 and trembling 7461 are come 935 upon me, and horror 6427 hath overwhelmed 3680 me.
6 And I said 559, Oh that 5414 I had wings 83 like a dove 3123! for then would I fly away 5774, and be at rest 7931.
7 Lo, then would I wander 5074 far off 7368, and remain 3885 in the wilderness 4057. Selah 5542.
8 I would hasten 2363 my escape 4655 from the windy 7307 storm 5584 and tempest 5591.
9 Destroy 1104, O Lord 136, and divide 6385 their tongues 3956: for I have seen 7200 violence 2555 and strife 7379 in the city 5892.
10 Day 3119 and night 3915 they go about 5437 it upon the walls 2346 thereof: mischief 205 also and sorrow 5999 are in the midst 7130 of it.
11 Wickedness 1942 is in the midst 7130 thereof: deceit 8496 and guile 4820 depart 4185 not from her streets 7339.
12 For it was not an enemy 341 that reproached 2778 me; then I could have borne 5375 it: neither was it he that hated 8130 me that did magnify 1431 himself against me; then I would have hid 5641 myself from him:
13 But it was thou, a man 582 mine equal 6187, my guide 441, and mine acquaintance 3045.
14 We took sweet 4985 counsel 5475 together 3162, and walked 1980 unto the house 1004 of God 430 in company 7285.
15 Let death 4194 seize 5377 3451 upon them, and let them go down 3381 quick 2416 into hell 7585: for wickedness 7451 is in their dwellings 4033, and among 7130 them.
16 As for me, I will call 7121 upon God 430; and the LORD 3068 shall save 3467 me.
17 Evening 6153, and morning 1242, and at noon 6672, will I pray 7878, and cry aloud 1993: and he shall hear 8085 my voice 6963.
18 He hath delivered 6299 my soul 5315 in peace 7965 from the battle 7128 that was against me: for there were many 7227 with me.
19 God 410 shall hear 8085, and afflict 6030 them, even he that abideth 3427 of old 6924. Selah 5542. Because they have no changes 2487, therefore they fear 3372 not God 430.
20 He hath put forth 7971 his hands 3027 against such as be at peace 7965 with him: he hath broken 2490 his covenant 1285.
21 The words of his mouth 6310 were smoother 2505 than butter 4260, but war 7128 was in his heart 3820: his words 1697 were softer 7401 than oil 8081, yet were they drawn swords 6609.
22 Cast 7993 thy burden 3053 upon the LORD 3068, and he shall sustain 3557 thee: he shall never 5769 suffer 5414 the righteous 6662 to be moved 4131.
23 But thou, O God 430, shalt bring them down 3381 into the pit 875 of destruction 7845: bloody 1818 and deceitful 4820 men 582 shall not live out half 2673 their days 3117; but I will trust 982 in thee.
