Psalm 55 📜 📕 ↷

1 UNTO the end, for a people, that is made far from the Saints, David in the inscription of the title, when the foreigners held him in Geth📜💬📚

2 Have mercy on me, o God, because man hath trodden upon me: all the day impugning he hath afflicted me.📜💬📚

3 Mine enemies have trodden upon me all the day: because they are many that war against me.📜💬📚

4 From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.📜💬📚

5 In God I will praise my words, in God have I hoped: I will not fear what flesh may do to me.📜💬📚

6 All the day did they detest my words; against me all their cogitations are unto evil.📜💬📚

7 They will inhabit and keep secret: they will observe my heel. As they have expected my soul,📜💬📚

8 for nothing shalt thou save them: in wrath thou wilt break peoples. O God📜💬📚

9 I have shewed my life to thee: thou hast set my tears in thy sight. As also in thy promise:📜💬📚

10 then shall mine enemies be turned backward. In what day soever I shall invocate thee: lo I have known that thou art my God.📜💬📚

11 In God I will praise the word, in our Lord will I praise thee saying: I have hoped in God, I will not fear what man can do to me.📜💬📚

12 In me, o God are thy vows, which I will render, praises to thee.📜💬📚

13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, and my feet from falling: that I may please before God, in the light of the living.📜💬📚
