Psalm 55:1-3

New International Reader's Version

55 God, listen to my prayer.
    Pay attention to my cry for help.
²     Hear me and answer me.
My thoughts upset me. I’m very troubled.
³     I’m troubled by what my enemies say about me.
    I’m upset because they say they will harm me.
They cause me all kinds of suffering.
    When they are angry, they attack me with their words.
