Hear my prayer, O God; don't turn away from my plea! |
2
|
Listen to me and answer me; I am worn out by my worries. |
3
|
I am terrified by the threats of my enemies, crushed by the oppression of the wicked. They bring trouble on me; they are angry with me and hate me. |
4
|
I am terrified, and the terrors of death crush me. |
5
|
I am gripped by fear and trembling; I am overcome with horror. |
6
|
I wish I had wings like a dove. I would fly away and find rest. |
7
|
I would fly far away and make my home in the desert. |
8
|
I would hurry and find myself a shelter from the raging wind and the storm. |
9
|
Confuse the speech of my enemies, O Lord! I see violence and riots in the city, |
10
|
surrounding it day and night, filling it with crime and trouble. |
11
|
There is destruction everywhere; the streets are full of oppression and fraud. |
12
|
If it were an enemy making fun of me, I could endure it; if it were an opponent boasting over me, I could hide myself from him. |
13
|
But it is you, my companion, my colleague and close friend. |
14
|
We had intimate talks with each other and worshiped together in the Temple. |
15
|
May my enemies die before their time; may they go down alive into the world of the dead! Evil is in their homes and in their hearts. |
16
|
But I call to the LORD God for help, and he will save me. |
17
|
Morning, noon, and night my complaints and groans go up to him, and he will hear my voice. |
18
|
He will bring me safely back from the battles that I fight against so many enemies. |
19
|
God, who has ruled from eternity, will hear me and defeat them; for they refuse to change, and they do not fear him. |
20
|
My former companion attacked his friends; he broke his promises. |
21
|
His words were smoother than cream, but there was hatred in his heart; his words were as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords. |
22
|
Leave your troubles with the LORD, and he will defend you; he never lets honest people be defeated. |
23
|
But you, O God, will bring those murderers and liars to their graves before half their life is over. As for me, I will trust in you. |
