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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
, 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.
CHAPTER 56
Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2
Mine enemies would daily swallow
me
up: for
they be
many that fight against me, O thou
most High.
3
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4
In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do
unto me.
5
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts
are
against me for evil.
6
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they
wait for my soul.
7
Shall they escape by iniquity? in
thine
anger cast down the people, O God.
8
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they
not in thy book?
9
When I cry
unto thee,
then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God
is
for me.
10
In God will I praise
his
word: in the L
ORD
will I praise
his
word.
