Psalms 55

Open saved chapters

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.

Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.

My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; for they are many that make war against me.

From the height of the day I shall fear: but I will trust in thee.

In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: I will not fear what flesh can do against me.

All the day long they detested my words: all their thoughts were against me unto evil.

They will dwell and hide themselves: they will watch my heel. As they have waited for my soul,

For nothing shalt thou save them: in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces, O God,

I have declared to thee my life: thou hast set my tears in thy sight, As also in thy promise.

Then shall my enemies be turned back. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, behold I know thou art my God.

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.

In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:

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.

About this reading layout

Reading paragraphs add editorial spacing between unchanged verses. They do not reconstruct the original manuscript’s paragraphs. Verse numbers, supplied line breaks and citation links are retained. Books such as Psalms and Proverbs keep verses on separate lines; original-language and comparison views stay aligned by verse. Choose One verse per line in Reading settings whenever you prefer.

Open Word Bridge above, or tap any verse number for its word connections, cross-references, audio, and share links. Dotted words have a plain-language definition.
