## He Will Never Allow the Righteous to Be Shaken
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
Give ear to my prayer, O God; And do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Give heed to me and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and am surely distracted,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the pressure of the wicked; For they shake wickedness down upon me And in anger they bear a grudge against me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
My heart is in anguish within me, And the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
Fear and trembling come upon me, And horror has covered me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Behold, I would wander far away, I would lodge in the wilderness. Selah.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
I would hasten to my place of refuge From the stormy wind _and_ tempest."
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
Day and night they go around her upon her walls, And wickedness and mischief are in her midst.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear _it_; Nor is it one who hates me who has magnified himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
But it is you, a man my equal, My close companion and my familiar friend;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
We who had sweet counsel together Walked in the house of God in the throng.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Let death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
As for me, I shall call upon God, And Yahweh will save me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
Evening and morning and at noon, I will bring my complaint and moan, And He will hear my voice.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle _which is_ against me, For they are many _who strive_ with me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
God will hear and answer them-- Even the one who sits enthroned from of old-- Selah. Because they do not change, And do not fear God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
_My companion_ has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
Cast your burden upon Yahweh and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|

|
|
But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of corruption; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
