Psalm 55:15–18

15 Let death take my enemies by surprise;

let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,

for evil finds lodging among them.

16 As for me, I call to God,

and the Lord saves me.

17 Evening, morning and noon

I cry out in distress,

and he hears my voice.

18 He rescues me unharmed

from the battle waged against me,

even though many oppose me.

15 Let death steal over them;

let them go down to Sheol alive;

for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.

16 But I call to God,

and the Lord will save me.

17 Evening and morning and at noon

I utter my complaint and moan,

and he hears my voice.

18 He redeems my soul in safety

from the battle that I wage,

for many are arrayed against me.

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.

15 Let death seize them;

Let them go down alive into hell,

For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.

16 As for me, I will call upon God,

And the Lord shall save me.

17 Evening and morning and at noon

I will pray, and cry aloud,

And He shall hear my voice.

18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,

For there were many against me.

15 Let death take away my enemies.

Let them die while they are still young

because evil lives with them.

16 But I will call to God for help,

and the Lord will save me.

17 Morning, noon, and night I am troubled and upset,

but he will listen to me.

18 Many are against me,

but he keeps me safe in battle.

15 Let death come suddenly upon them,

Let them go down alive into Sheol;

For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

16 As for me, I will call upon God;

And Jehovah will save me.

17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan;

And he will hear my voice.

18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me;

For they were many that strove with me.

15 Let death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwellings, in their midst.

16 As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me. 17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice. 18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.

15 Let death suddenly take ⸤wicked people⸥! 

Let them go into the grave while they are still alive, 

because evil lives in their homes as well as in their hearts. 

16 But I call on God, 

and the Lord saves me. 

17 Morning, noon, and night I complain and groan, 

and he listens to my voice. 

18 With ⸤his⸥ peace, he will rescue my soul 

from the war waged against me, 

because there are many ⸤soldiers fighting⸥ against me. 

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.

15 Let death come upon them;

let them go down alive to Sheol,

for evil is in their homes and in their hearts.

16 But I call upon God,

and the Lord will save me.

17 Evening and morning and at noon

I utter my complaint and moan,

and he will hear my voice.

18 He will redeem me unharmed

from the battle that I wage,

for many are arrayed against me.

15 Let death deceive them. May they descend to Sheol alive,

because evil is in their home and heart.

16 As for me, I will call to God,

and Yahweh will save me.

17 Morning, noon and night I will lament and groan loudly,

and he will hear my voice.

18 He safely redeems my life from the battle against me,

because those standing against me are among many.

15 Let death take my enemies by surprise.

Let them be buried alive,

because their hearts and homes are full of evil.

16 But I call out to God.

And the Lord saves me.

17 Evening, morning and noon

I groan and cry out.

And he hears my voice.

18 Even though many enemies are fighting against me,

he brings me safely back from the battle.

15 Let death come deceitfully upon them;

Let them go down alive to Sheol,

For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.

16 As for me, I shall call upon God,

And the Lord will save me.

17 Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and murmur,

And He will hear my voice.

18 He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me,

For they are many who strive with me.
