Salmos 55

1 Give ear to my prayer, O God;

2 Attend unto me, and answer me:

3 Because of the voice of the enemy,

4 My heart is sore pained within me:

5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me,

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!

7 Lo, then would I wander far off,

8 I would haste me to a shelter

9 Destroy, O Lord,

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me;

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal,

14 We took sweet counsel together;

15 Let death come suddenly upon them,

16 As for me, I will call upon God;

17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan;

18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me;

19 God will hear, and answer them,

20 He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him:

21 His mouth was smooth as butter,

22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee:

23 But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
