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.

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
