55:1   Hear my prayer, O God; don't turn away from my plea!

55:2   Listen to me and answer me; I am worn out by my worries.

55:3   I am terrified by the threats of my enemies, crushed by the oppression of the wicked. They bring trouble on me; they are angry with me and hate me.

55:4   I am terrified, and the terrors of death crush me.

55:5   I am gripped by fear and trembling; I am overcome with horror.

55:6   I wish I had wings like a dove. I would fly away and find rest.

55:7   I would fly far away and make my home in the desert.

55:8   I would hurry and find myself a shelter from the raging wind and the storm.

55:9   Confuse the speech of my enemies, O Lord! I see violence and riots in the city,

55:10   surrounding it day and night, filling it with crime and trouble.

55:11   There is destruction everywhere; the streets are full of oppression and fraud.

55:12   If it were an enemy making fun of me, I could endure it; if it were an opponent boasting over me, I could hide myself from him.

55:13   But it is you, my companion, my colleague and close friend.

55:14   We had intimate talks with each other and worshiped together in the Temple.

55:15   May my enemies die before their time; may they go down alive into the world of the dead! Evil is in their homes and in their hearts.

55:16   But I call to the LORD God for help, and he will save me.

55:17   Morning, noon, and night my complaints and groans go up to him, and he will hear my voice.

55:18   He will bring me safely back from the battles that I fight against so many enemies.

55:19   God, who has ruled from eternity, will hear me and defeat them; for they refuse to change, and they do not fear him.

55:20   My former companion attacked his friends; he broke his promises.

55:21   His words were smoother than cream, but there was hatred in his heart; his words were as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords.

55:22   Leave your troubles with the LORD, and he will defend you; he never lets honest people be defeated.

55:23   But you, O God, will bring those murderers and liars to their graves before half their life is over. As for me, I will trust in you.
