Seeker Overlay ON
*
Give ear to my prayer ,
O God ,
And do not hide Yourself from my supplication .
*
Attend to me ,
and hear me ;
I am restless in my complaint ,
and moan noisily ,
*
Because of the voice of the enemy ,
Because of the oppression of the wicked ;
For they bring down trouble upon me ,
And in wrath they hate me .
*
My heart is severely pained within me ,
And the terrors of death have fallen upon me .
*
Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me ,
And horror has overwhelmed me .
*
So I said , "
Oh ,
that I had wings like a dove !
I would fly away and be at rest .
*
Indeed ,
I would wander far off ,
And remain in the wilderness .
Selah
*
I would hasten my escape From the windy storm and tempest ."
*
Destroy ,
O Lord ,
and divide their tongues ,
For I have seen violence and strife in the city .
*
Day and night they go around it on its walls ;
Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it .
*
Destruction is in its midst ;
Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets .
*
For it is not an enemy who reproaches me ;
Then I could bear it .
Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me ;
Then I could hide from him .
*
But it was you ,
a man my equal ,
My companion and my acquaintance .
*
We took sweet counsel together ,
And walked to the house of God in the throng .
*
Let death seize them ;
Let them go down alive into hell ,
For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them .
*
As for me ,
I will call upon God ,
And the LORD shall save me .
*
Evening and morning and at noon I will pray ,
and cry aloud ,
And He shall hear my voice .
*
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me ,
For there were many against me .
*
God will hear ,
and afflict them ,
Even He who abides from of old .
Selah Because they do not change ,
Therefore they do not fear God .
*
He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him ;
He has broken his covenant .
*
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter ,
But war was in his heart ;
His words were softer than oil ,
Yet they were drawn swords .
*
Cast your burden on the LORD ,
And He shall sustain you ;
He shall never permit the righteous to be moved .
*
But You ,
O God ,
shall bring them down to the pit of destruction ;
Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days ;
But I will trust in You .
