Psalms 52:1--55:23

52:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,

Maschil
<04905> (8688)_,

[A Psalm] of David
<01732>_,

when Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>

came
<0935> (8800)

and told
<05046> (8686)

Saul
<07586>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, David
<01732>

is come
<0935> (8804)

to the house
<01004>

of Ahimelech
<0288>.>>

Why boastest
<01984> (8691)

thou thyself in mischief
<07451>_,

O mighty
<01368>

man? the goodness
<02617>

of God
<0410>

[endureth] continually
<03117>_.

{Maschil: or, of instruction}

52:2

Thy tongue
<03956>

deviseth
<02803> (8799)

mischiefs
<01942>_;

like a sharp
<03913> (8794)

razor
<08593>_,

working
<06213> (8802)

deceitfully
<07423>_.

52:3

Thou lovest
<0157> (8804)

evil
<07451>

more than good
<02896>_;

[and] lying
<08267>

rather than to speak
<01696> (8763)

righteousness
<06664>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

52:4

Thou lovest
<0157> (8804)

all devouring
<01105>

words
<01697>_,

O [thou] deceitful
<04820>

tongue
<03956>_.

{O thou...: or, and the deceitful tongue}

52:5

God
<0410>

shall likewise destroy
<05422> (8799)

thee for ever
<05331>_,

he shall take thee away
<02846> (8799)_,

and pluck thee out
<05255> (8799)

of [thy] dwelling place
<0168>_,

and root thee out
<08327> (8765)

of the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

{destroy...: Heb. beat thee down}

52:6

The righteous
<06662>

also shall see
<07200> (8799)_,

and fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and shall laugh
<07832> (8799)

at him:

52:7

Lo, [this is] the man
<01397>

[that] made
<07760> (8799)

not God
<0430>

his strength
<04581>_;

but trusted
<0982> (8799)

in the abundance
<07230>

of his riches
<06239>_,

[and] strengthened
<05810> (8799)

himself in his wickedness
<01942>_.

{wickedness: or, substance}

52:8

But I [am] like a green
<07488>

olive tree
<02132>

in the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_:

I trust
<0982> (8804)

in the mercy
<02617>

of God
<0430>

for ever
<05769>

and ever
<05703>_.

52:9

I will praise
<03034> (8686)

thee for ever
<05769>_,

because thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

[it]: and I will wait
<06960> (8762)

on thy name
<08034>_;

for [it is] good
<02896>

before thy saints
<02623>_.

53:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)

upon Mahalath
<04257>_,

Maschil
<04905> (8688)_,

[A Psalm] of David
<01732>.>>

The fool
<05036>

hath said
<0559> (8804)

in his heart
<03820>_,

[There is] no God
<0430>_.

Corrupt
<07843> (8689)

are they, and have done abominable
<08581> (8689)

iniquity
<05766>_:

[there is] none that doeth
<06213> (8802)

good
<02896>_.

{Maschil: or, of instruction}

53:2

God
<0430>

looked down
<08259> (8689)

from heaven
<08064>

upon the children
<01121>

of men
<0120>_,

to see
<07200> (8800)

if there were
<03426>

[any] that did understand
<07919> (8688)_,

that did seek
<01875> (8802)

God
<0430>_.

53:3

Every one of them is gone back
<05472> (8804)_:

they are altogether
<03162>

become filthy
<0444> (8738)_;

[there is] none that doeth
<06213> (8802)

good
<02896>_,

no, not one
<0259>_.

53:4

Have the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>

no knowledge
<03045> (8804)_?

who eat up
<0398> (8802)

my people
<05971>

[as] they eat
<0398> (8804)

bread
<03899>_:

they have not called
<07121> (8804)

upon God
<0430>_.

53:5

There were they in great
<06343>

fear
<06342> (8804)_,

[where] no fear
<06343>

was: for God
<0430>

hath scattered
<06340> (8765)

the bones
<06106>

of him that encampeth
<02583> (8802)

[against] thee: thou hast put [them] to shame
<0954> (8689)_,

because God
<0430>

hath despised
<03988> (8804)

them. {were...: Heb. they feared a fear}

53:6

Oh that
<05414> (8799)

the salvation
<03444>

of Israel
<03478>

[were come] out of Zion
<06726>_!

When God
<0430>

bringeth back
<07725> (8800)

the captivity
<07622>

of his people
<05971>_,

Jacob
<03290>

shall rejoice
<01523> (8799)_,

[and] Israel
<03478>

shall be glad
<08055> (8799)_.

{Oh that...: Heb. Who will give salvation, etc}

54:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)

on Neginoth
<05058>_,

Maschil
<04905> (8688)_,

[A Psalm] of David
<01732>_,

when the Ziphims
<02130>

came
<0935> (8800)

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Saul
<07586>_,

Doth not David
<01732>

hide
<05641> (8693)

himself with us?>>@ Save
<03467> (8685)

me, O God
<0430>_,

by thy name
<08034>_,

and judge
<01777> (8799)

me by thy strength
<01369>_.

{chief...: or, overseer} {Maschil: or, of instruction}

54:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

my prayer
<08605>_,

O God
<0430>_;

give ear
<0238> (8685)

to the words
<0561>

of my mouth
<06310>_.

54:3

For strangers
<02114> (8801)

are risen up
<06965> (8804)

against me, and oppressors
<06184>

seek
<01245> (8765)

after my soul
<05315>_:

they have not set
<07760> (8804)

God
<0430>

before them. Selah
<05542>_.

54:4

Behold, God
<0430>

[is] mine helper
<05826> (8802)_:

the Lord
<0136>

[is] with them that uphold
<05564> (8802)

my soul
<05315>_.

54:5

He shall reward
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)

evil
<07451>

unto mine enemies
<08324> (8802)_:

cut them off
<06789> (8685)

in thy truth
<0571>_.

{mine...: Heb. those that observe me}

54:6

I will freely
<05071>

sacrifice
<02076> (8799)

unto thee: I will praise
<03034> (8686)

thy name
<08034>_,

O LORD
<03068>_;

for [it is] good
<02896>_.

54:7

For he hath delivered
<05337> (8689)

me out of all trouble
<06869>_:

and mine eye
<05869>

hath seen
<07200> (8804)

[his desire] upon mine enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

55:1

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)

on Neginoth
<05058>_,

Maschil
<04905> (8688)_,

[A Psalm] of David
<01732>.>>

Give ear
<0238> (8685)

to my prayer
<08605>_,

O God
<0430>_;

and hide
<05956> (8691)

not thyself from my supplication
<08467>_.

{chief...: or, overseer} {Maschil: or, of instruction}

55:2

Attend
<07181> (8685)

unto me, and hear
<06030> (8798)

me: I mourn
<07300> (8686)

in my complaint
<07879>_,

and make a noise
<01949> (8686)_;

55:3

Because of the voice
<06963>

of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

because
<06440>

of the oppression
<06125>

of the wicked
<07563>_:

for they cast
<04131> (8686)

iniquity
<0205>

upon me, and in wrath
<0639>

they hate
<07852> (8799)

me.

55:4

My heart
<03820>

is sore pained
<02342> (8799)

within
<07130>

me: and the terrors
<0367>

of death
<04194>

are fallen
<05307> (8804)

upon me.

55:5

Fearfulness
<03374>

and trembling
<07461>

are come
<0935> (8799)

upon me, and horror
<06427>

hath overwhelmed
<03680> (8762)

me. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}

55:6

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Oh that
<05414> (8799)

I had wings
<083>

like a dove
<03123>_!

[for then] would I fly away
<05774> (8799)_,

and be at rest
<07931> (8799)_.

55:7

Lo, [then] would I wander
<05074> (8800)

far off
<07368> (8686)_,

[and] remain
<03885> (8799)

in the wilderness
<04057>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

55:8

I would hasten
<02363> (8686)

my escape
<04655>

from the windy
<07307>

storm
<05584> (8801)

[and] tempest
<05591>_.

55:9

Destroy
<01104> (8761)_,

O Lord
<0136>_,

[and] divide
<06385> (8761)

their tongues
<03956>_:

for I have seen
<07200> (8804)

violence
<02555>

and strife
<07379>

in the city
<05892>_.

55:10

Day
<03119>

and night
<03915>

they go about
<05437> (8779)

it upon the walls
<02346>

thereof: mischief
<0205>

also and sorrow
<05999>

[are] in the midst
<07130>

of it.

55:11

Wickedness
<01942>

[is] in the midst
<07130>

thereof: deceit
<08496>

and guile
<04820>

depart
<04185> (8686)

not from her streets
<07339>_.

55:12

For [it was] not an enemy
<0341> (8802)

[that] reproached
<02778> (8762)

me; then I could have borne
<05375> (8799)

[it]: neither [was it] he that hated
<08130> (8764)

me [that] did magnify
<01431> (8689)

[himself] against me; then I would have hid
<05641> (8735)

myself from him:

55:13

But [it was] thou, a man
<0582>

mine equal
<06187>_,

my guide
<0441>_,

and mine acquaintance
<03045> (8794)_.

{mine equal: Heb. according to my rank}

55:14

We took sweet
<04985> (8686)

counsel
<05475>

together
<03162>_,

[and] walked
<01980> (8762)

unto the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>

in company
<07285>_.

{We...: Heb. Who sweetened counsel}

55:15

Let death
<04194>

seize
<05377> (8686) (8675) <03451>

upon them, [and] let them go down
<03381> (8799)

quick
<02416>

into hell
<07585>_:

for wickedness
<07451>

[is] in their dwellings
<04033>_,

[and] among
<07130>

them. {hell: or, the grave}

55:16

As for me, I will call
<07121> (8799)

upon God
<0430>_;

and the LORD
<03068>

shall save
<03467> (8686)

me.

55:17

Evening
<06153>_,

and morning
<01242>_,

and at noon
<06672>_,

will I pray
<07878> (8799)_,

and cry aloud
<01993> (8799)_:

and he shall hear
<08085> (8799)

my voice
<06963>_.

55:18

He hath delivered
<06299> (8804)

my soul
<05315>

in peace
<07965>

from the battle
<07128>

[that was] against me: for there were many
<07227>

with me.

55:19

God
<0410>

shall hear
<08085> (8799)_,

and afflict
<06030> (8799)

them, even he that abideth
<03427> (8802)

of old
<06924>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

Because they have no changes
<02487>_,

therefore they fear
<03372> (8804)

not God
<0430>_.

{Because...: or, With whom also there be no changes, yet they}

55:20

He hath put forth
<07971> (8804)

his hands
<03027>

against such as be at peace
<07965>

with him: he hath broken
<02490> (8765)

his covenant
<01285>_.

{broken: Heb. profaned}

55:21

[The words] of his mouth
<06310>

were smoother
<02505> (8804)

than butter
<04260>_,

but war
<07128>

[was] in his heart
<03820>_:

his words
<01697>

were softer
<07401> (8804)

than oil
<08081>_,

yet [were] they drawn swords
<06609>_.

55:22

Cast
<07993> (8685)

thy burden
<03053>

upon the LORD
<03068>_,

and he shall sustain
<03557> (8770)

thee: he shall never
<05769>

suffer
<05414> (8799)

the righteous
<06662>

to be moved
<04131> (8800)_.

{burden: or, gift}

55:23

But thou, O God
<0430>_,

shalt bring them down
<03381> (8686)

into the pit
<0875>

of destruction
<07845>_:

bloody
<01818>

and deceitful
<04820>

men
<0582>

shall not live out half
<02673> (8799)

their days
<03117>_;

but I will trust
<0982> (8799)

in thee. {bloody...: Heb. men of bloods and deceit} {shall...: Heb. shall not half their days}
