To the chief Musician on * Neginoth, * Maschil, A Psalm of David.
* aGive ear to my bprayer, O God;
And hide not thyself from my bsupplication.
2 aAttend unto me, and chear me:
I mourn in my dcomplaint, and emake a noise;
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked:
For fthey cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 My heart is sore pained within me:
And gthe terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 hFearfulness and htrembling are come upon me,
And ihorror hath * overwhelmed me.
6 And I said, O that I had wings like a dove,
For then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off,
And remain in the wilderness. Selah.
From the windy storm and jtempest.
9 jjDestroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues:
For I have seen kviolence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:
Mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 lWickedness is in the midst thereof:
mDeceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it:
Neither was it he that hated me that did nmagnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 But it was thou, * a man mine equal,
My oguide, and mine pacquaintance.
14 * We took sweet qcounsel together,
And rwalked unto the house of God in qcompany.
And let them sgo down squick into * hell:
For wickedness is in their tdwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God;
And the Lord shall save me.
17 uEvening, and morning, and wat noon, will I xpray, and xcry aloud:
And he shall hear my voice.
18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me:
For there were ymany zwith me.
19 God shall hear, and afflict them,
Even he that abideth aof old. Selah.
* Because they have no bchanges,
Therefore they fear not God.
20 He hath put forth his hands against csuch as be at peace with him:
* He hath broken his covenant.
21 dThe words of his mouth ewere smoother than butter, but war was in his heart:
eHis words were softer than oil, efyet were they drawn swords.
22 gCast thy * burden upon the Lord, and he shall hsustain thee:
He shall never suffer the righteous ito be moved.
23 But thou, O God, jshalt bring them down into kthe pit of destruction:
* Bloody and deceitful men * lshall not live out half their days;
But mI will trust in thee.
