Psalms 55:1-6

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)_.
