BibleText:
1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not yourself from my supplication. 2 Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 3 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. 4 My heart is very painful within me: and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. 5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror has overwhelmed me. 6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] I would fly away, and be at rest. 7 See, [then] I would wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. Selah. 8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest. 9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 10 Day and night they go about it upon its walls: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it. 11 Wickedness [is] in the midst of it: deceit and guile do not depart 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] exalted [himself] against me; then I would have hidden myself from him: 13 But [it was] you, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance. 14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked to the house of God in company. 15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quickly into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them. 16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD [Yahweh] will save me. 17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he will hear my voice. 18 He has delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me: for there were many with me. 19 God will hear, and afflict them, even he that abides of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they do not fear God. 20 He has put forth his hands against those who are at peace with him: he has broken his covenant. 21 [The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet they [were] drawn swords. 22 Cast your lot [in life] over onto the LORD [Yahweh], and he will hold it all together [for you]: he will never under any circumstances [double negative] permit the righteous to be shaken. 23 But you, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men will not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.
