[1]
Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
[2] Attend to me, and answer me.
I am restless in my complaint,
and moan [3] because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they bring suffering on me.
In anger they hold a grudge against me.
[4] My heart is severely pained within me.
The terrors of death have fallen on me.
[5] Fearfulness and trembling have come on me.
Horror has overwhelmed me.
[6] I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove!
Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
[7] Behold, then I would wander far off.
I would lodge in the wilderness.”
Selah. [8] “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
[9] Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language,
for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
[10] Day and night they prowl around on its walls.
Malice and abuse are also within her.
[11] Destructive forces are within her.
Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.
[12] For it was not an enemy who insulted me,
then I could have endured it.
Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me,
then I would have hidden myself from him.
[13] But it was you, a man like me,
my companion, and my familiar friend.
[14] We took sweet fellowship together.
We walked in God’s house with company.
[15] Let death come suddenly on them.
Let them go down alive into Sheol.ⓘ
For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling.
[16] As for me, I will call on God.
Yahweh will save me.
[17] Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress.
He will hear my voice.
[18] He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
although there are many who oppose me.
[19] God, who is enthroned forever,
will hear and answer them.
Selah.They never change
and don’t fear God.
[20] He raises his hands against his friends.
He has violated his covenant.
[21] His mouth was smooth as butter,
but his heart was war.
His words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords. [22] Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you.
He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
[23] But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction.
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days,
but I will trust in you.
For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.
Listen to my prayer, God.Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

To the chief MusicianH5329(PielPtc) on Neginoth,H5058 Maschil,H4905(HiphPtc) [A Psalm] of David.H1732
Give earH238(HiphImpv) to my prayer,H8605 O God;H430 and hideH5956(HithImpf) not thyself from my supplication.H8467 [2] AttendH7181(HiphImpv) unto me, and hearH6030(QalImpv) me: I mournH7300(HiphImpf) in my complaint,H7879 and make a noise;H1949(HiphImpf) [3] Because of the voiceH6963 of the enemy,H341(QalActPtc) becauseH6440 of the oppressionH6125 of the wicked:H7563 for they castH4131(HiphImpf) iniquityH205 upon me, and in wrathH639 they hateH7852(QalImpf) me. [4] My heartH3820 is sore painedH2342(QalImpf) withinH7130 me: and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 are fallenH5307(QalPerf) upon me. [5] FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 are comeH935(QalImpf) upon me, and horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680(PielImpf) me. [6] And I said,H559(QalImpf) Oh thatH5414(QalImpf) I had wingsH83 like a dove!H3123 [for then] would I fly away,H5774(QalImpf) and be at rest.H7931(QalImpf) [7] Lo, [then] would I wanderH5074(QalInf) far off,H7368(HiphImpf) [and] remainH3885(QalImpf) in the wilderness.H4057 Selah.H5542 [8] I would hastenH2363(HiphImpf) my escapeH4655 from the windyH7307 stormH5584(QalPtc) [and] tempest.H5591 [9] Destroy,H1104(PielImpv) O Lord,H136 [and] divideH6385(PielImpv) their tongues:H3956 for I have seenH7200(QalPerf) violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the city.H5892 [10] DayH3119 and nightH3915 they go aboutH5437(PoelImpf) it upon the wallsH2346 thereof: mischiefH205 also and sorrowH5999 [are] in the midstH7130 of it. [11] WickednessH1942 [is] in the midstH7130 thereof: deceitH8496 and guileH4820 departH4185(HiphImpf) not from her streets.H7339 [12] For [it was] not an enemyH341(QalActPtc) [that] reproachedH2778(PielImpf) me; then I could have borneH5375(QalImpf) [it]: neither [was it] he that hatedH8130(PielPtc) me [that] did magnifyH1431(HiphPerf) [himself] against me; then I would have hidH5641(NiphImpf) myself from him: [13] But [it was] thou, a manH582 mine equal,H6187 my guide,H441 and mine acquaintance.H3045(PualPtc) [14] We took sweetH4985(HiphImpf) counselH5475 together,H3162 [and] walkedH1980(PielImpf) unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 in company.H7285 [15] Let deathH4194 seizeH5377(HiphImpf/Qere) upon them, [and] let them go downH3381(QalImpf) quickH2416 into hell:H7585 for wickednessH7451 [is] in their dwellings,H4033 [and] amongH7130 them. [16] As for me, I will callH7121(QalImpf) upon God;H430 and the LordH3068 shall saveH3467(HiphImpf) me. [17] Evening,H6153 and morning,H1242 and at noon,H6672 will I pray,H7878(QalImpf) and cry aloud:H1993(QalImpf) and he shall hearH8085(QalImpf) my voice.H6963 [18] He hath deliveredH6299(QalPerf) my soulH5315 in peaceH7965 from the battleH7128 [that was] against me: for there were manyH7227 with me. [19] GodH410 shall hear,H8085(QalImpf) and afflictH6030(QalImpf) them, even he that abidethH3427(QalActPtc) of old.H6924 Selah.H5542 Because they have no changes,H2487 therefore they fearH3372(QalPerf) not God.H430 [20] He hath put forthH7971(QalPerf) his handsH3027 against such as be at peaceH7965 with him: he hath brokenH2490(PielPerf) his covenant.H1285 [21] [The words] of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505(QalPerf) than butter,H4260 but warH7128 [was] in his heart:H3820 his wordsH1697 were softerH7401(QalPerf) than oil,H8081 yet [were] they drawn swords.H6609 [22] CastH7993(HiphImpv) thy burdenH3053 upon the Lord,H3068 and he shall sustainH3557(PilpImpf) thee: he shall neverH5769 sufferH5414(QalImpf) the righteousH6662 to be moved.H4131(QalInf) [23] But thou, O God,H430 shalt bring them downH3381(HiphImpf) into the pitH875 of destruction:H7845 bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673(QalImpf) their days;H3117 but I will trustH982(QalImpf) in thee.Byzantine Greek New Testament
