00:00.000 --> 00:01.340
Psalm 55.

00:02.460 --> 00:06.660
To the chief musician on Neganoth,
Maskell, A Psalm of David.

00:08.060 --> 00:12.520
Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not
thyself from my supplication.

00:13.260 --> 00:14.860
Attend unto me and hear me.

00:15.460 --> 00:19.460
I mourn in my complaint and make a noise,
because of the voice of the enemy,

00:20.020 --> 00:21.320
because of the oppression of the wicked.

00:22.040 --> 00:25.200
For they cast iniquity upon me,
and in wrath they hate me.

00:25.820 --> 00:30.000
My heart is sore pained within me,
and the terrors of death are fallen upon

00:30.000 --> 00:30.280
me.

00:31.060 --> 00:34.940
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon
me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

00:35.580 --> 00:40.700
And I said, O that I had wings like a
dove, for then would I fly away and be at

00:40.700 --> 00:41.020
rest.

00:41.860 --> 00:44.580
Lo, then would I wander far off and remain
in the wilderness.

00:45.400 --> 00:45.860
Selah.

00:46.700 --> 00:49.420
I would hasten my escape from the windy
storm and tempest.

00:50.300 --> 00:54.960
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues,
for I have seen violence and strife in the

00:54.960 --> 00:55.180
city.

00:55.860 --> 00:58.720
Day and night they go about it upon the
walls thereof.

00:59.080 --> 01:01.240
Mischief also, and sorrow are in the midst
of it.

01:02.540 --> 01:04.000
Wickedness is in the midst thereof.

01:04.760 --> 01:07.040
Deceit and guile depart not from her
streets.

01:07.840 --> 01:11.740
For it was not an enemy that reproached
me, then I could have borne it.

01:12.300 --> 01:16.860
Neither was it he that hated me that did
magnify himself against me, then I would

01:16.860 --> 01:17.940
have hid myself from him.

01:18.780 --> 01:23.080
But it was thou, a man mine equal,
my guide, and mine acquaintance.

01:23.720 --> 01:27.120
We took sweet counsel together and walked
unto the house of God in company.

01:28.400 --> 01:33.100
Let death seize upon them, and let them go
down quick into hell, for wickedness is in

01:33.100 --> 01:34.180
their dwellings and among them.

01:35.020 --> 01:38.800
As for me, I will call upon God,
and the Lord shall save me.

01:39.640 --> 01:43.940
Evening and morning and at noon will I
pray and cry aloud, and he shall hear my

01:43.940 --> 01:44.300
voice.

01:45.200 --> 01:48.460
He hath delivered my soul in peace from
the battle that was against me,

01:49.020 --> 01:50.320
for there were many with me.

01:51.160 --> 01:55.660
God shall hear and afflict them,
even he that abideth of old, Selah.

01:56.620 --> 01:59.240
Because they have no changes, therefore
they fear not God.

02:00.280 --> 02:03.000
He hath put forth his hands against such
as be at peace with him.

02:03.700 --> 02:04.860
He hath broken his covenant.

02:05.920 --> 02:09.660
The words of his mouth were smoother than
butter, but war was in his heart.

02:10.560 --> 02:13.660
His words were softer than oil,
yet were they drawn swords.

02:14.500 --> 02:17.500
Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and he shall sustain thee.

02:18.060 --> 02:20.120
He shall never suffer the righteous to be
moved.

02:21.200 --> 02:24.480
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down
into the pit of destruction.

02:25.320 --> 02:30.680
Bloody and deceitful men shall not live
out half their days, but I will trust in thee.
