4 I am made sorrowful in my exercise: and am troubled at the voice of the enemy: and at the tribulation of the sinner. Because they have wrested iniquities upon me: & in anger they were troublesome to me.📜💬📚

5 My heart is troubled in me: & the fear of death is fallen upon me.📜💬📚

6 Fear and trembling are come upon me: and darkness hath covered me.📜💬📚

7 And I said: Who will give me wings as of a dove, and I will fly: and rest?📜💬📚

8 Lo I have gone far flying away: and I abode in the wilderness.📜💬📚

9 I expected him, that saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and tempest.📜💬📚

10 Precipitate, o Lord, and divide their tongues: because I have seen iniquity, and contradiction in the city.📜💬📚

11 Day and night shall iniquity compass it upon the walls thereof, and labour in the midst thereof, and injustice.📜💬📚

12 And there hath not ceased out of the streets thereof usury and guile.📜💬📚

13 For if mine enemy had spoken evil to me, I would verily have born it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things upon me: I would perhaps have hid my self from him.📜💬📚

14 But thou a man of the same mind: my guide, and my familiar.📜💬📚

15 Which didest take sweet meats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.📜💬📚

16 Let death come upon them: and let them go down quick into hell. Because there is wickedness in their habitations, in the midst of them.📜💬📚

17 But I have cried to God, and our Lord will save me.📜💬📚

18 In the evening, and morning, & at midday, I will speak, and declare, and he will hear my voice.📜💬📚

19 He will redeem my soul in peace from them, that approach to me: because among many they were with me.📜💬📚

20 God will hear, and he which is before the worlds will humble them.📜💬📚

21 For there is no change with them, & they feared not God: he hath stretched forth his hand in repaying.📜💬📚

22 They have contaminated his testament, they are divided by the wrath of his countenance; and his heart hath approached. His words are made softer than oil: and the same are darts.📜💬📚

23 Cast thy care upon our Lord: and he will nourish thee: he will not give fluctuation to the just for ever.📜💬📚

24 But thou, o God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloody and deceitful men shall not live half their days, but I will hope in thee, o Lord.📜💬📚
