| Psalms 55:1 | Unto the end, for a people that is removed at a distance from the sanctuary for David, for an inscription of a title (or pillar ) when the Philistines held him in Geth. | <To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David.> Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request. | Listen to my prayer, God. Don't hide yourself from my supplication. | {To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. |
| Psalms 55:2 | Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me. | Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow; | Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan, | Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud, |
| Psalms 55:3 | My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me. | I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me. | Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me. | 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. |
| Psalms 55:4 | From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee. | My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me. | My heart is severely pained within me.

| Psalms 55:5 | In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me. | Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered. | Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me. | Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. |
| Psalms 55:6 | All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil. | And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest. | I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest. | And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest; |
| Psalms 55:7 | They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul, | I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah.) | Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." Selah. | Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah; |
| Psalms 55:8 | for nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God, | I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind. | "I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest." | I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest. |
| Psalms 55:9 | I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise. | Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town. | Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, For I have seen violence and strife in the city. | Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. |
| Psalms 55:10 | Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God. | By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it. | Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her. | Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it. |
| Psalms 55:11 | In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me. | Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets. | Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don't depart from her streets. | Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets. |
| Psalms 55:12 | In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee: | For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place; | For it was not an enemy who insulted me, Then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, Then I would have hid myself from him. | For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified [himself] against me then would I have hidden myself from him; |
| Psalms 55:13 | Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living. | But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend. | But it was you, a man like me, My companion, and my familiar friend. | But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ... |
