Sa Pangulong Manunugtog; sa mga panugtog na kawad. Masquil ni David.

55 (A)Dinggin mo ang aking dalangin, Oh Dios;
At huwag kang magkubli sa aking pananaing.
Pakinggan mo ako, at iyong sagutin ako:
(B)Ako'y walang katiwasayan sa aking pagdaramdam, at ako'y dumadaing;
Dahil sa tinig ng kaaway,
Dahil sa pagpighati ng masama;
(C)Sapagka't sila'y naghagis ng kasamaan sa akin,
At sa galit ay inuusig nila ako.
(D)Ang aking puso ay nagdaramdam na mainam sa loob ko:
At ang mga kakilabutan ng kamatayan ay nahulog sa akin.
(E)Katakutan at panginginig ay dumating sa akin,
At tinakpan ako ng (F)kakilabutan.
At aking sinabi, Oh kung ako'y nagkaroon ng mga pakpak na gaya ng kalapati!
Lilipad nga ako, at magpapahinga.
Narito, kung magkagayo'y gagala ako sa malayo,
Ako'y titigil sa ilang. (Selah)
Ako'y magmamadaling sisilong
Mula sa malakas na hangin at bagyo.
Ipahamak mo, Oh Panginoon, at guluhin mo ang kanilang wika:
Sapagka't ako'y nakakita ng (G)pangdadahas at pagaaway sa bayan.
10 Araw at gabi ay nagsisiligid sila sa mga kuta niyaon:
Kasamaan man at kahirapan ay nangasa gitna rin niyaon.
11 Kasamaan ay nasa gitna niyaon;
Ang pagpighati at pagdaraya ay hindi humihiwalay sa kaniyang mga lansangan.
12 Sapagka't hindi kaaway ang dumuwahagi sa akin;
Akin nga sanang nabata:
(H)Ni hindi rin ang nagtatanim sa akin ang nagmamalaki laban sa akin;
Nagtago nga sana ako sa kaniya:
13 Kundi ikaw, lalake na kagaya ko,
(I)Aking kasama at aking kaibigang matalik.
14 Tayo ay maligayang nagpapayuhang magkasama,
Tayo'y lumalakad na magkaakbay (J)sa bahay ng Dios.
15 Dumating nawang bigla sa kanila ang kamatayan,
(K)Mababa nawa silang buháy sa (L)Sheol:
Sapagka't kasamaan ay nasa kanilang tahanan, sa gitna nila.
16 Tungkol sa akin, ay tatawag ako sa Dios;
At ililigtas ako ng Panginoon.
17 (M)Sa hapon at sa umaga, at sa katanghaliang tapat, ako'y dadaing at hihibik:
At kaniyang didinggin ang aking tinig.
18 Kaniyang tinubos ang aking kaluluwa sa kapayapaan mula sa pagbabaka laban sa akin:
(N)Sapagka't sila'y marami na nakikipaglaban sa akin.
19 Didinggin ng Dios, at paghihigantihan sila,
Siyang tumatahan ng una. (Selah)
Ang mga tao na walang mga pagbabago,
At hindi nangatatakot sa Dios.
20 Kaniyang iniunat ang kaniyang mga kamay laban sa gayon na nasa kapayapaan sa kaniya:
Kaniyang nilapastangan ang kaniyang tipan.
21 (O)Ang kaniyang bibig ay malambot na parang mantekilya:
Nguni't ang kaniyang puso ay pakikidigma:
Ang kaniyang mga salita ay lalong mabanayad kay sa langis,
(P)Gayon ma'y mga bunot na tabak.
22 (Q)Ilagay mo ang iyong pasan sa Panginoon, at kaniyang aalalayan ka:
Hindi niya titiising makilos kailan man ang matuwid.
23 Nguni't ikaw, Oh Dios, ibababa mo sila sa hukay ng kapahamakan:
Mga mabagsik at magdarayang tao ay (R)hindi darating sa kalahati ng kanilang mga kaarawan;
Nguni't titiwala ako sa iyo.

55 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

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.

My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

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.

Psalm 55[a]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[b] of David.

Listen to my prayer, O God,
    do not ignore my plea;(A)
    hear me and answer me.(B)
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught(C)
    because of what my enemy is saying,
    because of the threats of the wicked;
for they bring down suffering on me(D)
    and assail(E) me in their anger.(F)

My heart is in anguish(G) within me;
    the terrors(H) of death have fallen on me.
Fear and trembling(I) have beset me;
    horror(J) has overwhelmed me.
I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
    I would fly away and be at rest.
I would flee far away
    and stay in the desert;[c](K)
I would hurry to my place of shelter,(L)
    far from the tempest and storm.(M)

Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words,(N)
    for I see violence and strife(O) in the city.(P)
10 Day and night they prowl(Q) about on its walls;
    malice and abuse are within it.
11 Destructive forces(R) are at work in the city;
    threats and lies(S) never leave its streets.

12 If an enemy were insulting me,
    I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,
    I could hide.
13 But it is you, a man like myself,
    my companion, my close friend,(T)
14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship(U)
    at the house of God,(V)
as we walked about
    among the worshipers.

15 Let death take my enemies by surprise;(W)
    let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,(X)
    for evil finds lodging among them.

16 As for me, I call to God,
    and the Lord saves me.
17 Evening,(Y) morning(Z) and noon(AA)
    I cry out in distress,
    and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
    from the battle waged against me,
    even though many oppose me.
19 God, who is enthroned from of old,(AB)
    who does not change—
he will hear(AC) them and humble them,
    because they have no fear of God.(AD)

20 My companion attacks his friends;(AE)
    he violates his covenant.(AF)
21 His talk is smooth as butter,(AG)
    yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,(AH)
    yet they are drawn swords.(AI)

22 Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;(AJ)
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.(AK)
23 But you, God, will bring down the wicked
    into the pit(AL) of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful(AM)
    will not live out half their days.(AN)

But as for me, I trust in you.(AO)
