Mga Awit 55
Ang Biblia, 2001
Sa Punong Mang-aawit: sa instrumentong may kuwerdas. Maskil ni David.
55 O Diyos, dalangin ko'y pakinggan mo,
at huwag kang magtago sa daing ko!
2 Pansinin mo ako, at sagutin mo ako;
ako'y natatalo ng aking pagdaramdam.
Ako'y walang katiwasayan sa aking pag-angal at ako'y dumadaing,
3 dahil sa tinig ng kaaway,
dahil sa pagmamalupit ng masama.
Sapagkat nagdadala sila sa akin ng kaguluhan,
at sa galit ay inuusig nila ako.
4 Ang aking puso ay nagdaramdam sa loob ko,
ang mga kilabot ng kamatayan ay bumagsak sa akin.
5 Takot at panginginig ay dumating sa akin,
at nadaig ako ng pagkatakot.
6 At aking sinabi, “O kung ako sana'y nagkaroon ng mga pakpak na gaya ng kalapati!
Lilipad ako at magpapahinga.
7 Narito, kung magkagayo'y gagala ako sa malayo,
sa ilang ay maninirahan ako. (Selah)
8 Ako'y magmamadaling hahanap ng silungan ko,
mula sa malakas na hangin at bagyo.”
9 O Panginoon, guluhin mo, ang kanilang wika ay lituhin mo,
sapagkat ang karahasan at pag-aaway sa lunsod ay nakikita ko.
10 Sa araw at gabi ay lumiligid sila
sa mga pader niyon;
ang kasamaan at kahirapan ay nasa loob niyon.
11 Ang pagkawasak ay nasa gitna niyon;
ang kalupitan at pandaraya
ay hindi humihiwalay sa kanyang mga lansangan.
12 Hindi isang kaaway ang tumutuya sa akin—
mapagtitiisan ko iyon,
hindi rin isang namumuhi sa akin ang nagmamalaki laban sa akin,
sa gayo'y maitatago ang aking sarili sa kanya.
13 Kundi ikaw, lalaki na kapantay ko,
kaibigang matalik at kasama ko.
14 Tayo ay dating magkasamang nag-uusap nang matamis;
tayo'y lumalakad na magkasama sa loob ng bahay ng Diyos.
15 Dumating nawang mapandaya ang kamatayan sa kanila,
ibaba nawa silang buháy sa Sheol;
sapagkat ang kasamaan ay nasa kanilang tahanan, sa gitna nila.
16 Tungkol sa akin ay tatawag ako sa Diyos;
at ililigtas ako ng Panginoon.
17 Sa hapon at umaga, at sa katanghaliang-tapat,
ako'y dadaing at tataghoy,
at diringgin niya ang aking tinig.
18 Kanyang tutubusin ang aking kaluluwa sa kapayapaan,
mula sa pakikibaka laban sa akin,
sapagkat marami ang nagtitipon upang ako ay labanan.
19 Papakinggan ng Diyos at sasagutin sila,
siya na nakaupo sa trono mula pa noong una. (Selah)
Sa kanya na walang pagbabago,
at hindi natatakot sa Diyos.
20 Kanyang iniunat ang kanyang mga kamay laban sa mga taong nasa kapayapaan sa kanya,
kanyang nilabag ang kanyang tipan.
21 Higit na pino kaysa mantekilya ang kanyang pananalita,
ngunit ang kanyang puso ay pakikidigma;
higit na malambot kaysa langis ang kanyang mga salita,
gayunman ang mga iyon ay nakaumang na mga tabak.
22 Iatang mo ang iyong pasan sa Panginoon,
at kanyang aalalayan ka;
hindi niya pinahihintulutang
makilos kailanman ang matuwid.
23 Ngunit ikaw, O Diyos, ihahagis mo sila
sa hukay ng kapahamakan;
ang mga taong mababagsik at mandaraya
ay hindi mabubuhay sa kalahati ng kanilang mga araw.
Ngunit magtitiwala ako sa iyo.
Psalm 55
King James Version
55 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
3 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.
4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Lo, then would I 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 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
English Standard Version
Cast Your Burden on the Lord
To the choirmaster: with (A)stringed instruments. A Maskil[a] of David.
55 (B)Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!
2 Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless (C)in my complaint and I (D)moan,
3 because of the noise of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they (E)drop trouble upon me,
and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
4 My heart is in anguish within me;
(F)the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Fear and trembling come upon me,
and (G)horror (H)overwhelms me.
6 And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest;
7 (I)yes, I would wander far away;
I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah
8 I would hurry to find a shelter
from (J)the raging wind and tempest.”
9 Destroy, O Lord, (K)divide their tongues;
for I see (L)violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and (M)iniquity and trouble are within it;
11 ruin is in its midst;
(N)oppression and fraud
do not depart from its marketplace.
12 For it is not an enemy who taunts me—
then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who (O)deals insolently with me—
then I could hide from him.
13 (P)But it is you, a man, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend.
14 We used to take sweet counsel together;
within God's house we walked in (Q)the throng.
15 Let death steal over them;
let them go down to Sheol (R)alive;
for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart.
16 But I call to God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 (S)Evening and (T)morning and at (U)noon
I (V)utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
18 He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for (W)many are arrayed against me.
19 God will give ear and humble them,
he who is (X)enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not (Y)change
and do not fear God.
20 My companion[b] (Z)stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
21 His (AA)speech was (AB)smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were (AC)drawn swords.
22 (AD)Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
(AE)he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
23 But you, O God, (AF)will cast them down
into (AG)the pit of destruction;
men of (AH)blood and treachery
shall not (AI)live out half their days.
But I will (AJ)trust in you.
