Pray The Psalms

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.

¹⁰ Day and night they go about it
upon the walls thereof:
mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

¹¹ Wickedness is in the midst thereof:
deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

¹² For it was not an enemy that reproached me;
then I could have borne it:
neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me;
then I would have hid myself from him:

¹³ But it was thou, a man mine equal,
my guide, and mine acquaintance.

¹⁴ We took sweet counsel together,
and walked unto the house of God in company.

¹⁵ Let death seize upon them,
and let them go down quick into hell:
for wickedness is in their dwellings,
and among them.

¹⁶ As for me, I will call upon God;
and the LORD shall save me.

¹⁷ Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
and he shall hear my voice.

¹⁸ He hath delivered my soul in peace
from the battle that was against me:
for there were many with me.

¹⁹ God shall hear, and afflict them,
even he that abideth of old.
Selah.
Because they have no changes,
therefore they fear not God.

²⁰ He hath put forth his hands
against such as be at peace with him:
he hath broken his covenant.

²¹ The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
but war was in his heart:
his words were softer than oil,
yet were they drawn swords.

²² Cast thy burden upon the LORD,
and he shall sustain thee:
he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

²³ But thou, O God,
shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
bloody and deceitful men
shall not live out half their days;
but I will trust in thee.
