RF PSA 55:1 To his Bandmaster.
A Reflective Song By David.
STANZA 1.
Listen O GOD to my prayer,
And hide not Yourself from my pleas;
RF PSA 55:2 Give a hearing to me, and reply,
For I wander reflecting, and moan,
RF PSA 55:3 At my foe's voice, before and behind,
For the wicked throw terror on me;
They accuse me with fury and rage,
RF PSA 55:4 My heart beating quick in my breast,
Whilst the faintness of Death on me falls;
RF PSA 55:5 And on me fear and shuddering comes,
And terrors encircle me round
RF PSA 55:6 "Who will give me Dove's wings," I exclaim,
To fly off, and seek myself rest?
RF PSA 55:7 For then I would fly far away,
And rest in the Desert secure.
RF PSA 55:8 I would hasten to make my escape,
From the rage of this wind, and this storm."
RF PSA 55:9 STANZA 2.
Lord swallow and split up their tongues,—
Cruel wrong I have met in this Town.—
RF PSA 55:10 Day and night they encircle the walls,—
And passion and sorrow are there.
RF PSA 55:11 There, mischief that will not depart;
With arrogance, malice, and fraud.
RF PSA 55:12 STANZA 3.
I could have borne, if a foe had reviled,
Or against me an enemy rose,—
For I could have hidden from them,
RF PSA 55:13 But you, man, were close by my side,—
You were my companion and friend!—
RF PSA 55:14 How sweetly we chatted together,
As we walked to GOD'S HOUSE with the crowd.
RF PSA 55:15 O! fling sudden ruin on him,—
Let him go while alive to the Grave!—
For malice was deep in his breast!
RF PSA 55:16 STANZA 4.
I will cry for myself to my GOD,
To the LORD who is able to save.
RF PSA 55:17 At evening, and morning, and noon,
As I cry He hears my moaning voice.—
RF PSA 55:18 He will give my soul peace in my breast,
From the many who stand against me.
RF PSA 55:19 GOD hears me, and will punish them,
And fling to distress from their rock,
To which they will not be restored,
Because they have no fear of GOD.
RF PSA 55:20 STANZA 5.
He held out his hand as for peace,—
But his treaty he broke'
RF PSA 55:21 Than butter his mouth was more smooth,—
But war in his heart; His words they were softer than oil,—
RF PSA 55:22 But they were only traps!
Yet treacherous and blood-thirsty men,
RF PSA 55:23 You, GOD, bring to deepest distress;
They live not the half their days,—
So I trust upon you!
