To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058, MaschilH4905, A Psalm of DavidH1732. Give earH238 to my prayerH8605, O GodH430; and hideH5956 not thyself from my supplicationH8467.
AttendH7181 unto me, and hearH6030 me: I mournH7300 in my complaintH7879, and make a noiseH1949;
Because of the voiceH6963 of the enemyH341, becauseH6440 of the oppressionH6125 of the wickedH7563: for they castH4131 iniquityH205 upon me, and in wrathH639 they hateH7852 me.
My heartH3820 is sore painedH2342 withinH7130 me: and the terrorsH367 of deathH4194 are fallenH5307 upon me.
FearfulnessH3374 and tremblingH7461 are comeH935 upon me, and horrorH6427 hath overwhelmedH3680 me. {overwhelmed: Heb. covered}
And I saidH559, Oh thatH5414 I had wingsH83 like a doveH3123! for then would I fly awayH5774, and be at restH7931.
Lo, then would I wanderH5074 far offH7368, and remainH3885 in the wildernessH4057. SelahH5542.
I would hastenH2363 my escapeH4655 from the windyH7307 stormH5584 and tempestH5591.
DestroyH1104, O LordH136, and divideH6385 their tonguesH3956: for I have seenH7200 violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the cityH5892.
DayH3119 and nightH3915 they go aboutH5437 it upon the wallsH2346 thereof: mischiefH205 also and sorrowH5999 are in the midstH7130 of it.
WickednessH1942 is in the midstH7130 thereof: deceitH8496 and guileH4820 departH4185 not from her streetsH7339.
For it was not an enemyH341 that reproachedH2778 me; then I could have borneH5375 it: neither was it he that hatedH8130 me that did magnifyH1431 himself against me; then I would have hidH5641 myself from him:
But it was thou, a manH582 mine equalH6187, my guideH441, and mine acquaintanceH3045. {mine equal: Heb. according to my rank}
We took sweetH4985 counselH5475 togetherH3162, and walkedH1980 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 in companyH7285. {We…: Heb. Who sweetened counsel}
Let deathH4194 seizeH5377+H3451 upon them, and let them go downH3381 quickH2416 into hellH7585: for wickednessH7451 is in their dwellingsH4033, and amongH7130 them. {hell: or, the grave}
As for me, I will callH7121 upon GodH430; and the LORDH3068 shall saveH3467 me.
EveningH6153, and morningH1242, and at noonH6672, will I prayH7878, and cry aloudH1993: and he shall hearH8085 my voiceH6963.
He hath deliveredH6299 my soulH5315 in peaceH7965 from the battleH7128 that was against me: for there were manyH7227 with me.
GodH410 shall hearH8085, and afflictH6030 them, even he that abidethH3427 of oldH6924. SelahH5542. Because they have no changesH2487, therefore they fearH3372 not GodH430. {Because…: or, With whom also there be no changes, yet they}
He hath put forthH7971 his handsH3027 against such as be at peaceH7965 with him: he hath brokenH2490 his covenantH1285. {broken: Heb. profaned}
The words of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505 than butterH4260, but warH7128 was in his heartH3820: his wordsH1697 were softerH7401 than oilH8081, yet were they drawn swordsH6609.
CastH7993 thy burdenH3053 upon the LORDH3068, and he shall sustainH3557 thee: he shall neverH5769 sufferH5414 the righteousH6662 to be movedH4131. {burden: or, gift}
But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in thee. {bloody…: Heb. men of bloods and deceit} {shall…: Heb. shall not half their days}

And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the footmenH7323 that stoodH5324 about him, TurnH5437, and slayH4191 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068; because their handH3027 also is with DavidH1732, and because they knewH3045 when he fledH1272, and did not shewH1540+H241 it to me. But the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 wouldH14 not put forthH7971 their handH3027 to fallH6293 upon the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068. {footmen: or, guard: Heb. runners}

My covenantH1285 will I not breakH2490, nor alterH8138 the thing that is gone outH4161 of my lipsH8193.
And the manH376 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, ThoughH3863 I should receiveH8254 a thousandH505 shekels of silverH3701 in mine handH3709, yet would I not put forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the king'sH4428 sonH1121: for in our hearingH241 the kingH4428 chargedH6680 thee and AbishaiH52 and IttaiH863, sayingH559, BewareH8104 that none touch the young manH5288 AbsalomH53. {receive: Heb. weigh upon mine hand} {Beware…: Heb. Beware whosoever ye be of, etc}

And AbsalomH53 answeredH559 JoabH3097, Behold, I sentH7971 unto thee, sayingH559, ComeH935 hither, that I may sendH7971 thee to the kingH4428, to sayH559, Wherefore am I comeH935 from GeshurH1650? it had been goodH2896 for me to have been there still: now therefore let me seeH7200 the king'sH4428 faceH6440; and if there beH3426 any iniquityH5771 in me, let him killH4191 me.
So JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and toldH5046 him: and when he had calledH7121 for AbsalomH53, he cameH935 to the kingH4428, and bowedH7812 himself on his faceH639 to the groundH776 beforeH6440 the kingH4428: and the kingH4428 kissedH5401 AbsalomH53.

I counsel thee to keepH8104 the king'sH4428 commandmentH6310, and that in regardH1700 of the oathH7621 of GodH430.
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, surely in the placeH4725 where the kingH4428 dwelleth that made him kingH4427, whose oathH423 he despisedH959, and whose covenantH1285 he brakeH6565, even with him in the midstH8432 of BabylonH894 he shall dieH4191.
Neither shall PharaohH6547 with his mightyH1419 armyH2428 and greatH7227 companyH6951 makeH6213 for him in the warH4421, by casting upH8210 mountsH5550, and buildingH1129 fortsH1785, to cut offH3772 manyH7227 personsH5315:
Seeing he despisedH959 the oathH423 by breakingH6565 the covenantH1285, when, lo, he had givenH5414 his handH3027, and hath doneH6213 all these things, he shall not escapeH4422.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; As I liveH2416, surely mine oathH423 that he hath despisedH959, and my covenantH1285 that he hath brokenH6331, even it will I recompenseH5414 upon his own headH7218.
