Psalmes 55

1 David in his prayer complaineth of his fearful case. 9 He prayeth against his enemies, of whose wickedness and treachery he complaineth. 16 He comforteth himself in God's preservation of him, and confusion of his enemies.

 55:1 ¶ [[To the chiefe musician 5329 z8764 on Neginoth, 5058 Maschil. 4905 z8688 A [Psalme] of Dauid.]] 1732 Giue eare 238 z8685 to my prayer, 8605 O God: 430 and hide y5956 z8691 not thy selfe x408 x5956 from my supplication. 8467 x4480

 55:2 Attend 7181 z8685 vnto me, and heare 6030 z8798 me: I mourne 7300 z8686 in my complaint, 7879 and make a noise. 1949 z8686

 55:3 Because of the voyce 6963 x4480 of the enemie, 341 z8802 because 6440 x4480 of the oppression 6125 of the wicked: 7563 for x3588 they cast 4131 z8686 iniquitie 205 vpon x5921 me, and in wrath 639 they hate 7852 z8799 me.

 55:4 My heart 3820 is sore pained 2342 z8799 within 7130 me: and the terrours 367 of death 4194 are fallen 5307 z8804 vpon x5921 me.

 55:5 Fearefulnesse 3374 and trembling 7461 are come 935 z8799 vpon me, and horrour 6427 hath ouerwhelmed 3680 z8762 me.

 55:6 And I said, 559 z8799 O that y5414 z8799 x4310 I had x5414 wings 83 like a doue; 3123 [for then] would I flee away 5774 z8799 and be at rest. 7931 z8799

 55:7 Loe, x2009 [then] would I wander 5074 z8800 farre off, 7368 z8686 [and] remaine 3885 z8799 in the wildernesse. 4057 Selah. 5542

 55:8 I would hasten 2363 z8686 my escape 4655 from the windie 7307 x4480 storme, 5584 z8801 [and] tempest. 5591 x4480

 55:9 Destroy, 1104 z8761 O Lord, 136 [and] diuide 6385 z8761 their tongues: 3956 for x3588 I haue seene 7200 z8804 violence 2555 and strife 7379 in the citie. 5892

 55:10 Day 3119 and night 3915 they goe about 5437 z8779 it vpon x5921 the walles 2346 thereof: mischiefe 205 also and sorrow 5999 [are] in the midst 7130 of it.

 55:11 Wickednesse 1942 [is] in the midst 7130 thereof: deceite 8496 and guile 4820 depart 4185 z8686 not x3808 from x4480 her streets. 7339

 55:12 For x3588 [it was] not x3808 an enemie 341 z8802 [that] reproached 2778 z8762 me, then I could haue borne 5375 z8799 [it], neither x3808 [was it] hee that hated 8130 z8764 me, that did magnifie 1431 z8689 [himselfe] against x5921 me, then I would haue hid y5641 z8735 my selfe x5641 from x4480 him.

 55:13 But [it was] thou, x859 a man, 582 mine equal, 6187 my guide, 441 and mine acquaintance. 3045 z8794

 55:14 Wee tooke sweet 4985 z8686 counsell 5475 together, 3162 [and] walked 1980 z8762 vnto the house 1004 of God 430 in companie. 7285

 55:15 Let death 4194 seaze 5377 z8686 z8675 y3451 vpon x5921 them, and let them goe downe 3381 z8799 quicke 2416 into hell: 7585 for x3588 wickednes 7451 [is] in their dwellings, 4033 [and] among 7130 them.

 55:16 As for me, I x589 will call 7121 z8799 vpon x413 God: 430 and the LORD 3068 shall saue 3467 z8686 me.

 55:17 Euening 6153 and morning, 1242 and at noone 6672 will I pray, 7878 z8799 and crie aloud: 1993 z8799 and he shall heare 8085 z8799 my voyce. 6963

 55:18 He hath deliuered 6299 z8804 my soule 5315 in peace 7965 from the battell 7128 x4480 that was against me: for x3588 there were x1961 many 7227 with x5978 me.

 55:19 God 410 shall heare 8085 z8799 and afflict y6030 z8799 x6031 them, euen he that abideth 3427 z8802 of old, 6924 Selah: 5542 because x834 they [haue] no x369 changes, 2487 therefore they feare 3372 z8804 not x3808 God. 430

 55:20 He hath put foorth 7971 z8804 his handes 3027 against such as be at peace 7965 with him: he hath broken 2490 z8765 his couenant. 1285

 55:21 [The words] of his mouth 6310 were smoother 2505 z8804 then butter, 4260 but warre 7128 [was] in his heart: 3820 his words 1697 were softer 7401 z8804 then oyle, 8081 x4480 yet [were] they x1992 drawen swords. 6609

 55:22 Cast 7993 z8685 thy burden 3053 vpon x5921 the LORD, 3068 and he x1931 shall sustaine 3557 z8770 thee: hee shall neuer 5769 x3808 suffer 5414 z8799 the righteous 6662 to bee moued. 4131 z8800

 55:23 But thou, x859 O God, 430 shalt bring them downe 3381 z8686 into the pit 875 of destruction: 7845 Bloody 1818 and deceitfull 4820 men y582 x376 shall not x3808 liue out halfe 2673 z8799 their dayes, 3117 but I x589 will trust 982 z8799 in thee.
