1 -[For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.] Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
2 -Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
3 -at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
4 -My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
5 -Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 -I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
7 -How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. [Selah]
8 -I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
9 -O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
10 -Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
11 -Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
12 -For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
13 -But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
14 -We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
15 -Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.
16 -But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
17 -Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
18 -He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
19 -God will hear and humiliate them—the One enthroned for the ages—[Selah] because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
20 -My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
21 -His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
22 -Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
23 -But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
