# Chapter 55
|
||||
1 Listen to my prayer, O God.
|
||||
Do not ignore my cry for help!
|
||||
2 Please listen and answer me,
|
||||
for I am overwhelmed by my troubles.
|
||||
3 My enemies shout at me,
|
||||
making loud and wicked threats.
|
||||
They bring trouble on me
|
||||
and angrily hunt me down.
|
||||
4 My heart pounds in my chest.
|
||||
The terror of death assaults me.
|
||||
5 Fear and trembling overwhelm me,
|
||||
and I can’t stop shaking.
|
||||
6 Oh, that I had wings like a dove;
|
||||
then I would fly away and rest!
|
||||
7 I would fly far away
|
||||
to the quiet of the wilderness. Interlude
|
||||
8 How quickly I would escape—
|
||||
far from this wild storm of hatred.
|
||||
9 Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans,
|
||||
for I see violence and conflict in the city.
|
||||
10 Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders,
|
||||
but the real danger is wickedness within the city.
|
||||
11 Everything is falling apart;
|
||||
threats and cheating are rampant in the streets.
|
||||
12 It is not an enemy who taunts me—
|
||||
I could bear that.
|
||||
It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me—
|
||||
I could have hidden from them.
|
||||
13 Instead, it is you—my equal,
|
||||
my companion and close friend.
|
||||
14 What good fellowship we once enjoyed
|
||||
as we walked together to the house of God.
|
||||
15 Let death stalk my enemies;
|
||||
let the grave swallow them alive,
|
||||
for evil makes its home within them.
|
||||
16 But I will call on God,
|
||||
and the Lord will rescue me.
|
||||
17 Morning, noon, and night
|
||||
I cry out in my distress,
|
||||
and the Lord hears my voice.
|
||||
18 He ransoms me and keeps me safe
|
||||
from the battle waged against me,
|
||||
though many still oppose me.
|
||||
19 God, who has ruled forever,
|
||||
will hear me and humble them. Interlude
|
||||
For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
|
||||
they do not fear God.
|
||||
20 As for my companion, he betrayed his friends;
|
||||
he broke his promises.
|
||||
21 His words are as smooth as butter,
|
||||
but in his heart is war.
|
||||
His words are as soothing as lotion,
|
||||
but underneath are daggers!
|
||||
22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
|
||||
and he will take care of you.
|
||||
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
|
||||
23 But you, O God, will send the wicked
|
||||
down to the pit of destruction.
|
||||
Murderers and liars will die young,
|
||||
but I am trusting you to save me.
