Psalm 55
55:1 «To
the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David.» Give ear to
a
my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
(
a) The earnestness of his prayer declares the
vehemency of his grief in so much as he is compelled to burst out into cries.
55:3 Because of the
b
voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for
c
they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
(
b) For the threatenings of Saul and his
adherents.
(
c) They have defamed me as a wicked person, or
they have imagined my destruction.
55:5 Fearfulness and trembling
are come upon me, and horror hath
d
overwhelmed me.
(
d) There was no part of him that was not
astonished with extreme fear.
55:6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
[for then] would I
e fly away, and be at
rest.
(
e) Fear had driven him to so great distress,
that he wished to be hid in some wilderness, and to be banished from that
kingdom which God had promised that he should enjoy.
55:8 I would hasten my escape
f
from the windy storm [and] tempest.
(
f) From the cruel rage and tyranny of Saul.
55:9 Destroy, O Lord, [and]
g
divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
(
g) As in the confusion of Babylon when the
wicked conspired against God.
55:10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls
thereof:
h mischief also and sorrow
[are] in the midst of it.
(
h) All laws and good orders are broken and only
vice and dissolution reigns under Saul.
55:12 For [it was] not an
i
enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he
that hated me [that] did magnify [himself] against me; then I would have hid
myself from him:
(
i) If my open enemy had sought by hurt, I could
better have avoided him.
55:13 But [it was] thou, a man mine
k
equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
(
k) Who was not only joined to me in friendship
and counsel in worldly matters, but also in religion.
55:15 Let death seize upon
them, [and] let them
l go down quick
into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them.
(
l) As Korah, Dathan and Abiram.
55:17 Evening, and morning,
and at noon, will I pray,
m and cry
aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
(
m) Which signifies a servants mind and sure
trust to obtain his portion, which made him earnest at all times in prayer.
55:18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the
battle [that was] against me: for there were
n
many with me.
(
n) Even the angels of God fought on my side
against my enemies, (
2 Kings
6:16).
55:19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he
that abideth of old. Selah. Because they
o
have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
(
o) But their prosperous estate still continues.
55:20 He
p
hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken
his covenant.
(
p) I did not provoke him but was as at peace
with him, yet he made war against me.
55:22 Cast thy burden upon
the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall
q
never suffer the righteous to be moved.
(
q) Though for their bettering and trial, he
permits them to slip for a time.
55:23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into
the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out
r
half their days; but I will trust in thee.
(
r) Though they sometimes live longer, yet their
life is cursed by God, unquiet, and worse than any death.
