Mga Awit 55
Magandang Balita Biblia
Panalangin ng Isang Pinagtaksilan ng Kaibigan
Isang Maskil[a] ni David, upang awitin ng Punong Mang-aawit; sa saliw ng mga instrumentong may kuwerdas.
55 Ang panalangin ko, O Diyos, pakinggan,
mga daing ko ay huwag namang layuan.
2 Lingapin mo ako, ako ay sagipin,
sa bigat ng aking mga suliranin.
3 Sa maraming banta ng mga kaaway,
nalilito ako't hindi mapalagay.
Ang dulot sa akin nila'y kaguluhan,
namumuhi sila't may galit ngang tunay.
4 Itong aking puso'y tigib na ng lumbay,
sa aking takot na ako ay pumanaw.
5 Sa tindi ng takot, ako'y nanginginig,
sinasaklot ako ng sindak na labis.
6 Wika ko, “Kung ako lamang ay may pakpak, parang kalapati, ako ay lilipad;
hahanapin ko ang dakong panatag.
7 Aking liliparin ang malayong lugar,
at doon sa ilang ako mananahan. (Selah)[b]
8 Ako ay hahanap agad ng kanlungan
upang makaiwas sa bagyong darating.”
9 Sila ay wasakin, Yahweh, guluhin mo; pag-uusap nila'y bayaang malito,
yamang karahasan ang nakikita ko, at sa lunsod nila ay nagkakagulo.
10 Sa lunsod na puno ng sama't ligalig,
araw-gabi'y doon sila lumiligid;
11 Sa gitna ng lunsod na wasak nang tunay, naghahari pa rin ang katiwalian;
pati pang-aapi ay nasasaksihan.
12 Kaya kong mabata at mapagtiisan,
kung ang mangungutya ay isang kaaway;
kung ang maghahambog ay isang kalaban,
kayang-kaya ko pang siya'y pagtaguan!
13 Ang mahirap nito'y tunay kong kasama,
aking kaibigang itinuturing pa!
14 Dati'y kausap ko sa bawat sandali
at maging sa templo, kasama kong lagi.
15 Biglang kamatayan nawa ay dumating,
ihuhulog ng buháy, sa daigdig ng mga patay;
sa kanilang puso't maging sa tahanan, yaong naghahari'y pawang kasamaan.
16 Kay Yahweh lang ako hihingi ng saklolo;
aking natitiyak, ililigtas ako.
17 Sa umaga't hapon, maging sa gabi rin.
Aking itataghoy ang mga hinaing,
at ang aking tinig ay kanyang diringgin.
18 Ililigtas ako mula sa labanan,
at pababaliking taglay ang tagumpay,
matapos gapiin ang mga kaaway.
19 Ang Diyos na hari sa mula't mula pa
ay diringgin ako, lulupigin sila; (Selah)[c]
pagkat ni sa kanya'y wala silang takot,
ayaw nang magbago at magbalik-loob.
20 Itong taong dati'y aking kasamahan, mga kaibiga'y kanyang kinalaban;
at hindi tumupad sa 'ming kasunduan.
21 Ang dulas ng dila'y parang mantekilya,
ngunit nasa puso pagkapoot niya;
ang mga salita niya'y tulad ng langis,
ngunit parang tabak ang talas at tulis.
22 Ilagak kay Yahweh iyong suliranin,
aalalayan ka't ipagtatanggol rin;
ang taong matuwid, di niya bibiguin.
23 Ngunit ang bulaan at mamamatay-tao,
O Diyos, sa hukay, sila'y itapon mo.
Hindi magtatagal, ang buhay nila sa daigdig,
ngunit tanging sa Diyos ako ay mananalig.

Psalm 55
New King James Version
Trust in God Concerning the Treachery of Friends
To the Chief Musician. With [a]stringed instruments. A [b]Contemplation of David.
55 Give ear to my prayer, O God,
And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
2 Attend to me, and hear me;
I (A)am[c] restless in my complaint, and moan noisily,
3 Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the oppression of the wicked;
(B)For they bring down trouble upon me,
And in wrath they hate me.
4 (C)My heart is severely pained within me,
And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me,
And horror has overwhelmed me.
6 So I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
7 Indeed, I would wander far off,
And remain in the wilderness. Selah
8 I would hasten my escape
From the windy storm and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their [d]tongues,
For I have seen (D)violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it on its walls;
(E)Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.
11 Destruction is in its midst;
(F)Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.
12 (G)For it is not an enemy who reproaches me;
Then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has (H)exalted himself against me;
Then I could hide from him.
13 But it was you, a man my equal,
(I)My companion and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together,
And (J)walked to the house of God in the throng.
15 Let death seize them;
Let them (K)go down alive into [e]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 (L)Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For (M)there were many against me.
19 God will hear, and afflict them,
(N)Even He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.
20 He has (O)put forth his hands against those who (P)were at peace with him;
He has broken his [f]covenant.
21 (Q)The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.
22 (R)Cast your burden on the Lord,
And (S)He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be [g]moved.
23 But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction;
(T)Bloodthirsty and deceitful men (U)shall not live out half their days;
But I will trust in You.
