For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. Maschil of David. Give earH238 to my prayerH8605, O GodH430; And hideH5956 not thyself from my supplicationH8467. AttendH7181 unto me, and answerH6030 me: I am restlessH7300 in my complaintH7879, and moanH1949, Because of the voiceH6963 of the enemyH341, BecauseH6440 of the oppressionH6125 of the wickedH7563; For they castH4131 iniquityH205 upon me, And in angerH639 they persecuteH7852 me. My heartH3820 is sore painedH2342 withinH7130 me: And the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 are fallenH5307 upon me. FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 are comeH935 upon me, And horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680 me. And I saidH559, Oh thatH5414 I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123! Then would I fly awayH5774, and be at restH7931. Lo, then would I wanderH5074 far offH7368, I would lodgeH3885 in the wildernessH4057. Selah I would hasteH2363 me to a shelterH4655 From the stormyH5584 windH7307 and tempestH5591. DestroyH1104, O LordH136, and divideH6385 their tongueH3956; For I have seenH7200 violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the cityH5892. DayH3119 and nightH3915 they go aboutH5437 it upon the wallsH2346 thereof: IniquityH205 also and mischiefH205 are in the midstH7130 of it. WickednessH1942 is in the midstH7130 thereof: OppressionH8496 and guileH4820 departH4185 not from its streetsH7339. For it was not an enemyH341 that reproachedH2778 me; Then I could have borneH5375 it: Neither was it he that hatedH8130 me that did magnifyH1431 himself against me; Then I would have hidH5641 myself from him: But it was thou, a manH582 mine equalH6187, My companionH441, and my familiar friendH3045. We took sweetH4985 counselH5475 togetherH3162; We walkedH1980 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 with the throngH7285. Let deathH4194 come suddenlyH5377 upon them, Let them go downH3381 aliveH2416 into SheolH7585; For wickednessH7451 is in their dwellingH4033, in the midstH7130 of them. As for me, I will callH7121 upon GodH430; And JehovahH3068 will saveH3467 me. EveningH6153, and morningH1242, and at noondayH6672, will I complainH7878, and moanH1993; And he will hearH8085 my voiceH6963. He hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 in peaceH7965 from the battleH7128 that was against me; For they were manyH7227 that strove with me. GodH410 will hearH8085, and answerH6030 them, Even he that abidethH3427 of oldH6924, Selah The men who have no changesH2487, And who fearH3372 not GodH430. He hath put forthH7971 his handsH3027 against such as were at peaceH7965 with him: He hath profanedH2490 his covenantH1285. His mouthH6310 was smoothH2505 as butterH4260, But his heartH3820 was warH7128: His wordsH1697 were softerH7401 than oilH8081, Yet were they drawn swordsH6609. CastH7993 thy burdenH3053 upon JehovahH3068, and he will sustainH3557 thee: He will neverH5769 sufferH5414 the righteousH6662 to be movedH4131. But thou, O GodH430, wilt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: BloodthirstyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; But I will trustH982 in thee.
