Psalm 54
1 Unto the end, in verses,
understanding for David.
2 Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my
supplication:
3 be attentive to me and hear me. I am grieved in my
exercise; and am troubled,
4 at the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of
the sinner. For they have cast iniquities upon me: and in wrath they were
troublesome to me.
5 My heart is troubled within me: and the fear of death
is fallen upon me.
6 Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness
hath covered me.
7 And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, and I
will fly and be at rest?
8 Lo, I have gone far off flying away; and I abode in
the wilderness.
9 I waited for him that hath saved me from
pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
10 Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I
have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
11 Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its
walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,
12 and injustice. And usury and deceit have not
departed from its streets.
13 For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have
borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I
would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
14 But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my
familiar,
15 Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the
house of God we walked with consent.
16 Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive
into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them.
17 But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
18 Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and
declare: and he shall hear my voice.
19 He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw
near to me: for among many they were with me.
20 God shall hear, and the Eternal shall humble them.
For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God:
21 he hath stretched forth his hand to repay. They have
defiled his covenant,
22 they are divided by the wrath Of his countenance,
and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and
2 the same are darts.
23 Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain
thee: he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
24 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, O Lord.
