Psalmi 55
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Psalmul 55
Către mai-marele cântăreţilor.
De cântat pe instrumente cu coarde.
Un psalm al lui David
1 Ia aminte, Dumnezeule, la rugăciunea mea
şi nu Te ascunde de cererile mele!
2 Ascultă-mă şi răspunde-mi!
Rătăcesc(A) încoace şi încolo şi mă frământ
3 din pricina zarvei vrăjmaşului
şi din pricina apăsării celui rău.
Căci(B) ei aruncă nenorocirea peste mine
şi mă urmăresc cu mânie.
4 Îmi tremură inima(C) în mine
şi mă cuprinde spaima morţii,
5 mă apucă frica şi groaza,
şi mă iau fiorii.
6 Eu zic: „O, dacă aş avea aripile porumbelului,
aş zbura şi aş găsi undeva odihnă!”
7 Da, aş fugi departe de tot
şi m-aş duce să locuiesc în pustie.
8 Aş fugi în grabă la un adăpost
de vântul acesta năpraznic şi de furtuna aceasta.
9 Nimiceşte-i, Doamne, împarte-le limbile,
căci în cetate văd silă(D) şi certuri;
10 zi şi noapte ei îi dau ocol pe ziduri:
nelegiuirea şi răutatea sunt în sânul ei;
11 răutatea este în mijlocul ei
şi vicleşugul şi înşelătoria nu lipsesc din pieţele ei.
12 Nu(E) un vrăjmaş mă batjocoreşte,
căci aş suferi; nu potrivnicul meu se ridică(F) împotriva mea,
căci m-aş ascunde dinaintea lui.
13 Ci tu, pe care te socoteam una cu mine,
tu, frate(G) de cruce şi prieten cu mine!
14 Noi, care trăiam împreună într-o plăcută prietenie
şi ne duceam împreună(H) cu mulţimea în Casa lui Dumnezeu!
15 Să vină moartea peste ei
şi să se pogoare(I) de vii în Locuinţa morţilor!
Căci răutatea este în locuinţa lor, în inima lor.
16 Dar eu strig către Dumnezeu,
şi Domnul mă va scăpa.
17 Seara(J), dimineaţa şi la amiază, oftez şi gem,
şi El va auzi glasul meu.
18 Mă va scăpa din lupta care se dă împotriva mea şi-mi va aduce pacea,
căci mulţi(K) mai sunt împotriva mea!
19 Dumnezeu va auzi şi-i va smeri,
El, care(L) din veşnicie stă pe scaunul Lui de domnie. (Oprire).
Căci în ei nu este nicio nădejde de schimbare
şi nu se tem de Dumnezeu.
20 Ei pun(M) mâna pe cei ce trăiau(N) în pace cu ei
şi îşi calcă legământul.
21 Gura lor este dulce ca smântâna,
dar în inimă poartă războiul;
cuvintele(O) lor sunt mai alunecoase decât untdelemnul,
dar, când ies ele din gură, sunt nişte săbii.
22 Încredinţează-ţi(P) soarta în mâna Domnului, şi El te va sprijini.
El nu(Q) va lăsa niciodată să se clatine cel neprihănit.
23 Şi Tu, Dumnezeule, îi vei pogorî în fundul gropii.
Oamenii(R) setoşi de sânge şi de înşelăciune nu(S) vor ajunge nici jumătate din zilele lor.
Eu însă mă încred în Tine!
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
New International Version
Psalm 55[a]
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil[b] of David.
1 Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;(A)
2 hear me and answer me.(B)
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught(C)
3 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)
4 My heart is in anguish(G) within me;
the terrors(H) of death have fallen on me.
5 Fear and trembling(I) have beset me;
horror(J) has overwhelmed me.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove!
I would fly away and be at rest.
7 I would flee far away
and stay in the desert;[c](K)
8 I would hurry to my place of shelter,(L)
far from the tempest and storm.(M)”
9 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)
