 1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.**

 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.*

 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.*

 14 We took sweet counsel together, *and* walked unto the house of God in company.*

 15 Let death seize upon them, *and* let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness *is* in their dwellings, *and* among them.*

 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.*

 20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.*

 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.*

 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.**
