| 1 | Giue eare to my prayer, O God: and hide not thy selfe from my supplication. |
| 2 | Attend vnto me, and heare me: I mourne in my complaint, and make a noise. |
| 3 | Because of the voyce of the enemie, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquitie vpon me, and in wrath they hate me. |
| 4 | My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me. |
| 5 | Fearefulnesse and trembling are come vpon me, and horrour hath ouerwhelmed me. |
| 6 | And I said, O that I had wings like a doue; for then would I flee away and be at rest. |
| 7 | Loe, then would I wander farre off, and remaine in the wildernesse. Selah. |
| 8 | I would hasten my escape from the windie storme, and tempest. |
| 9 | Destroy, O Lord, and diuide their tongues: for I haue seene violence and strife in the citie. |
| 10 | Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: mischiefe also and sorrow are in the midst of it. |
| 11 | Wickednesse is in the midst thereof: deceite and guile depart not from her streets. |
| 12 | For it was not an enemie that reproached me, then I could haue borne it, neither was it hee that hated me, that did magnifie himselfe against me, then I would haue hid my selfe from him. |
| 13 | But it was thou, a man, mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. |
| 14 | Wee tooke sweet counsell together, and walked vnto the house of God in companie. |
| 15 | Let death seaze vpon them, and let them goe downe quicke into hell: for wickednes is in their dwellings, and among them. |
| 16 | As for me, I will call vpon God: and the Lord shall saue me. |
| 17 | Euening and morning, and at noone will I pray, and crie aloud: and he shall heare my voyce. |
| 18 | He hath deliuered my soule in peace from the battell that was against me: for there were many with me. |
| 19 | God shall heare and afflict them, euen he that abideth of old, Selah: because they haue no changes, therefore they feare not God. |
| 20 | He hath put foorth his handes against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his couenant. |
| 21 | The words of his mouth were smoother then butter, but warre was in his heart: his words were softer then oyle, yet were they drawen swords. |
| 22 | Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and he shall sustaine thee: hee shall neuer suffer the righteous to bee moued. |
| 23 | But thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pit of destruction: Bloody and deceitfull men shall not liue out halfe their dayes, but I will trust in thee. |
