Scripture Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 55<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God, listen to my prayer;
don\u2019t avoid my request!
2 Pay attention! Answer me!
I can\u2019t sit still while complaining.
I\u2019m beside myself
3 over the enemy\u2019s noise,
at the wicked person\u2019s racket,
because they bring disaster on me
and harass me furiously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 My heart pounds in my chest
because death\u2019s terrors have reached me.
5 Fear and trembling have come upon me;
I\u2019m shaking all over.
6 I say to myself,
I wish I had wings like a dove!
I\u2019d fly away and rest.
7 I\u2019d run so far away!
I\u2019d live in the desert. Selah
8 I\u2019d hurry to my hideout,
far from the rushing wind and storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 Baffle them, my Lord!
Confuse their language
because I see violence and conflict in the city.
10 Day and night they make their rounds on its walls,
and evil and misery live inside it.
11 Disaster lives inside it;
oppression and fraud never leave the town square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 It\u2019s not an enemy that is insulting me\u2014
I could handle that.
It\u2019s not someone who hates me
who is exalted over me\u2014
I could hide from them.
13 No. It\u2019s you, my equal,
my close companion, my good friend!
14 It was so pleasant when
together we entered God\u2019s house with the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15 Let death devastate my enemies;
let them go to the grave alive
because evil lives with them\u2014
even inside them!
16 But I call out to God,
and the Lord will rescue me.
17 At evening, morning, and midday
I complain and moan
so that God will hear my voice.
18 He saves me, unharmed, from my struggle,
though there are many who are out to get me.
19 God, who is enthroned from ancient days,
will hear and humble them Selah
because they don\u2019t change
and they don\u2019t worship God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20 My friend attacked his allies,
breaking his covenant.
21 Though his talk is smoother than butter,
war is in his heart;
though his words are more silky than oil,
they are really drawn swords:
22 \u201cCast your burden on the Lord\u2014
he will support you!
God will never let the righteous be shaken!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23 But you, God, bring the wicked
down to the deepest pit.
Let bloodthirsty and treacherous people
not live out even half their days.
But me? I trust in you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
