Psalm 55:1-3

Revised Standard Version

Complaint about a Friend’s Treachery

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil of David.

55 Give ear to my prayer, O God;
and hide not thyself from my supplication!
²Attend to me, and answer me;
    I am overcome by my trouble.
I am distraught ³by the noise of the enemy,
    because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they bring^[a] trouble upon me,
    and in anger they cherish enmity against me.
