Psalms 54:3 - Psalms 55:5
3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul; they have not set God before them. Selah.

5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies; cut them off in thy truth.
6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
Psalms 55
Intro: David's complaint, and prayer for preservation. (To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David.)
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.
