- Listen to my prayer, God.
Don’t hide yourself from my supplication. - Attend to me, and answer me.
I am restless in my complaint, and moan, - 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. - My heart is severely pained within me.
The terrors of death have fallen on me. - Fearfulness and trembling have come on me.
Horror has overwhelmed me. - I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove!
Then I would fly away, and be at rest. - Behold, then I would wander far off.
I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah. - “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
- Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language,
for I have seen violence and strife in the city. - Day and night they prowl around on its walls.
Malice and abuse are also within her. - Destructive forces are within her.
Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets. - 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. - But it was you, a man like me,
my companion, and my familiar friend. - We took sweet fellowship together.
We walked in God’s house with company. - Let death come suddenly on them.
Let them go down alive into Sheol[1]. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst. - As for me, I will call on God.
Yahweh will save me. - Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress.
He will hear my voice. - He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
although there are many who oppose me. - God, who is enthroned forever,
will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, who don’t fear God. - He raises his hands against his friends.
He has violated his covenant. - His mouth was smooth as butter,
but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. - Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you.
He will never allow the righteous to be moved. - 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.
