(55:1) For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David.

55:1 (55:2) Give ear to my tefillah, O Elohim (אלהים); and hide not thyself from my supplication.

55:2 (55:3) Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

55:3 (55:4) Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

55:4 (55:5) My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

55:5 (55:6) Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

55:6 (55:7) And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest.

55:7 (55:7) Hinnei, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the midbar. Selah.

55:8 (55:8) I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest.

55:9 (55:9) Destroy, O *YHWH (יהוה), [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

55:10 (55:11) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it.

55:11 (55:12) Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

55:12 (55:13) For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

55:13 (55:14) But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

55:14 (55:15) We took sweet counsel together, [and] halak unto the bayit Elohim (אלהים) in company.

55:15 (55:16) Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them.

55:16 (55:17) As for me, I will call upon Elohim (אלהים); and YHWH (יהוה) shall yasha (save) me.

55:17 (55:18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

55:18 (55:19) He hath delivered my nefesh in peace from the battle [that was] against me: for there were many with me.

55:19 (55:20) EL shall shema, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah.

Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not Elohim (אלהים).

55:20 (55:21) He hath put forth his hands against such as be at shalom with him: he hath broken his covenant.

55:21 (55:22) [The divrei] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart: his divrei were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn swords.

55:22 (55:23) Cast thy burden upon YHWH (יהוה), and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the tzaddikim to be moved.

55:23 (55:24) But thou, O Elohim (אלהים), shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
