Psalms 55:16-23

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}
