Psalm 55:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Psalm 55

Complaint about a Friend’s Treachery

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

¹Give ear to my prayer, O God;
    do not hide yourself from my supplication.
²Attend to me, and answer me;
    I am troubled in my complaint.
I am distraught ³by the noise of the enemy,
    because of the clamour of the wicked.
For they bring^[a] trouble upon me,
    and in anger they cherish enmity against me.
