1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thy­self from my sup­pli­ca­tion.
2 At­tend unto 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 sore pained with­in me: and the ter­rors of death are fall­en upon me.
5 Fear­ful­ness and trem­bling are come upon me, and hor­ror hath over­whelmed me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! ­for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I 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 the walls there­of: mis­chief also and sor­row are in the midst of it.
11 Wicked­ness is in the midst there­of: de­ceit and guile de­part not 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 did mag­ni­fy himself against me; then I would have hid my­self from him:
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine ac­quain­tance.
14 We took sweet coun­sel to­geth­er, and walked unto the house of God in com­pa­ny.
15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wicked­ness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Evening, and morn­ing, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 He hath de­liv­ered my soul in peace from the bat­tle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 God shall hear, and af­flict them, even he that abideth of old. Se­lah. Be­cause they have no changes, there­fore they fear not God.
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath 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 were they drawn swords.
22 Cast thy bur­den upon the LORD, and he shall sus­tain thee: he shall nev­er suf­fer the righ­teous to be moved.
23 But thou, O God, 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.
