1	To the chief Musician# on Neginoth, Maschil# , +FO A Psalm of David. Give ear# to my prayer, O God; and hide# not thyself from my supplication. [chief...: or, overseer] [Maschil: or, of instruction]
			2	Attend# unto me, and hear# me: I mourn# in my complaint, and make a noise# ;
			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.
			4	My heart is sore pained# within me: and the terrors of death are fallen# upon me.
			5	Fearfulness and trembling are come# upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed# me. [overwhelmed: Heb. covered]
			6	And I said# , Oh that# I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away# , and be at rest# .
			7	Lo, then would I wander# far off# , and remain# in the wilderness. Selah.
			8	I would hasten# my escape from the windy storm# and tempest.
			9	Destroy# , O Lord, and divide# their tongues: for I have seen# violence and strife in the city.
			10	Day and night they go about# it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
			11	Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart# not from her streets.
			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:
			13	But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance# . [mine equal: Heb. according to my rank]
			14	We took sweet# counsel together, and walked# unto the house of God in company. [We...: Heb. Who sweetened counsel]
			15	Let death seize# # # upon them, and let them go down# quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. [hell: or, the grave]
			16	As for me, I will call# upon God; and the LORD shall save# me.
			17	Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray# , and cry aloud# : and he shall hear# my voice.
			18	He hath delivered# my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
			19	God shall hear# , and afflict# them, even he that abideth# of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear# not God. [Because...: or, With whom also there be no changes, yet they]
			20	He hath put forth# his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken# his covenant. [broken: Heb. profaned]
			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.
			22	Cast# thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain# thee: he shall never suffer# the righteous to be moved# . [burden: or, gift]
			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. [bloody...: Heb. men of bloods and deceit] [shall...: Heb. shall not half their days]
