Psalms 55:1-5

¹For the chief musician; on stringed instruments. A maschil of David. Give ear to my prayer, God; and do not hide yourself from my plea.

²Pay attention to me and answer me; I have no rest in my troubles

³because of the voice of my enemies, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they bring trouble on me and persecute me in anger.

⁴My heart trembles within me, and the terrors of death have fallen on me.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling have come on me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
