Psalms 55
- 1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; And hide not thyself from my supplication.
- 2 Attend unto me, and answer me: I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
- 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute 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! Then would I fly away, and be at rest.
- 7 Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. [Selah
- 8 I would haste me to a shelter From the stormy wind and tempest.
- 9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
- 10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
- 11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: Oppression and guile depart not from its 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 companion, and my familiar friend.
- 14 We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.
- 15 Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.
- 16 As for me, I will call upon God; And Jehovah will save me.
- 17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.
- 18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many that strove with me.
- 19 God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, [Selah The menwho have no changes, And who fear not God.
- 20 He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.
- 21 His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.
- 22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
- 23 But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8
