PS-52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. PS-52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. PS-52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue. PS-52:5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. PS-52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: PS-52:7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness. PS-52:8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God:I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. PS-52:9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it] :and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints. PS-53:1 To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. The fool hath said in his heart, [There is] no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity:[there is] none that doeth good. PS-53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were [any] that did understand, that did seek God. PS-53:3 Every one of them is gone back:they are altogether become filthy; [there is] none that doeth good, no, not one. PS-53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people [as] they eat bread:they have not called upon God. PS-53:5 There were they in great fear, [where] no fear was:for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth [against] thee:thou hast put [them] to shame, because God hath despised them. PS-53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. PS-54:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. PS-54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. PS-54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul:they have not set God before them. Selah. PS-54:4 Behold, God [is] mine helper:the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul. PS-54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:cut them off in thy truth. PS-54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee:I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good. PS-54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble:and mine eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies. PS-55:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. PS-55:2 Attend unto me, and hear me:I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; PS-55:3 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. PS-55:4 My heart is sore pained within me:and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. PS-55:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. PS-55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! [for then] would I fly away, and be at rest. PS-55:7 Lo, [then] would I wander far off, [and] remain in the wilderness. Selah. PS-55:8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm [and] tempest. PS-55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues:for I have seen violence and strife in the city. PS-55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow [are] in the midst of it. PS-55:11 Wickedness [is] in the midst thereof:deceit and guile depart not from her streets. PS-55:12 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: PS-55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. PS-55:14 We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked unto the house of God in company. PS-55:15 Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell:for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them. PS-55:16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me. PS-55:17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:and he shall hear my voice. PS-55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me:for there were many with me. PS-55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. PS-55:20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him:he hath broken his covenant. PS-55:21 [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. PS-55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. PS-55:23 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. PS-56:1 To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath. Be merciful unto me, O God:for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. PS-56:2 Mine enemies would daily swallow [me] up:for [they be] many that fight against me, O thou most High. PS-56:3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
