Salmo 55

¹Instrução de Davi, para o regente, com instrumento de cordas: Deus, inclina os teus ouvidos à minha oração; e não te escondas de minha súplica.

²Presta atenção em mim, e responde-me; clamo por meu sofrimento, e grito,

³Por causa da voz do inimigo, e pela opressão do perverso; porque me preparam suas maldades, e com furor eles me odeiam.

⁴Meu coração sofre dores em meu interior, e terrores de morte caíram sobre mim.

⁵Temor e tremor vêm sobre mim, e o horror me toma por completo.

⁶Então eu digo: Ah, quem me dera se eu tivesse asas como uma pomba! Eu voaria, e pousaria.

⁷Eis que eu fugiria para longe, e ficaria no deserto. (Selá)

⁸Eu me apressaria para escapar do vento violento e da tempestade.

⁹Devora-os, Senhor, divide a língua deles; porque tenho visto violência e briga na cidade.

¹⁰Dia e noite cercam sobre seus muros; perversidade e opressão há dentro dela.

¹¹Coisas destrutivas estão dentro dela; e a falsidade e o engano não sai de suas praças.

¹²Porque não é um inimigo o que me insulta, pois se fosse eu o suportaria; nem é alguém que me odeia o que se engrandece contra mim, pois se fosse eu me esconderia dele.

¹³Mas és tu, homem semelhante a mim; meu guia, e meu conhecido;

¹⁴Que juntos agradavelmente dávamos conselhos um ao outro; na casa de Deus andávamos entre a multidão.

¹⁵Que a morte os tome de surpresa, e desçam ao mundo dos mortos ainda vivos; porque maldades há na morada deles, e no interior de cada um deles.

¹⁶Eu clamarei a Deus, e o SENHOR me salvará.

¹⁷À tarde, e pela manhã, e ao meio dia, orarei e clamarei; e ele ouvirá a minha voz.

¹⁸Ele resgatou em paz a minha alma da batalha que havia contra mim; porque muitos vieram para me prejudicar.

¹⁹Deus ouvirá, e os humilhará, ele que governa desde os princípios dos tempos. (Selá)Porque eles não mudam de comportamento, nem temem a Deus.

²⁰Meu antigo amigo se voltou contra os que tinham paz com ele, e violou seu pacto.

²¹Sua boca é agradável como a manteiga, mas seu coração deseja a guerra; suas palavras parecem mais suaves que o azeite, mas são espadas prontas para o ataque.

²²Entrega tuas preocupações ao SENHOR, e ele te sustentará; ele não permitirá que o justo fique caído para sempre.

²³Porém tu, SENHOR, farás com que eles desçam ao poço da perdição; os homens sanguinários e enganadores não viverão a metade de seus dias; e eu confiarei em ti.

¹To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

²Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

³Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

⁴My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

⁵Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

⁶And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

⁷Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

⁸I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

⁹Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

¹¹Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

¹²For it was not an 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:

¹³But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

¹⁴We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

¹⁵Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

¹⁶As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

¹⁸He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

¹⁹God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

²⁰He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

²¹The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

²²Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

²³But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

¹In finem, in carminibus. Intellectus David.

²Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam, et ne despexeris deprecationem meam:

³intende mihi, et exaudi me. Contristatus sum in exercitatione mea, et conturbatus sum

⁴a voce inimici, et a tribulatione peccatoris. Quoniam declinaverunt in me iniquitates, et in ira molesti erant mihi.

⁵Cor meum conturbatum est in me, et formido mortis cecidit super me.

⁶Timor et tremor venerunt super me, et contexerunt me tenebræ.

⁷Et dixi: Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut columbæ, et volabo, et requiescam?

⁸Ecce elongavi fugiens, et mansi in solitudine.

⁹Exspectabam eum qui salvum me fecit a pusillanimitate spiritus, et tempestate.

¹⁰Præcipita, Domine; divide linguas eorum: quoniam vidi iniquitatem et contradictionem in civitate.

¹¹Die ac nocte circumdabit eam super muros ejus iniquitas; et labor in medio ejus,

¹²et injustitia: et non defecit de plateis ejus usura et dolus.

¹³Quoniam si inimicus meus maledixisset mihi, sustinuissem utique. Et si is qui oderat me super me magna locutus fuisset, abscondissem me forsitan ab eo.

¹⁴Tu vero homo unanimis, dux meus, et notus meus:

¹⁵qui simul mecum dulces capiebas cibos; in domo Dei ambulavimus cum consensu.

¹⁶Veniat mors super illos, et descendant in infernum viventes: quoniam nequitiæ in habitaculis eorum, in medio eorum.

¹⁷Ego autem ad Deum clamavi, et Dominus salvabit me.

¹⁸Vespere, et mane, et meridie, narrabo, et annuntiabo; et exaudiet vocem meam.

¹⁹Redimet in pace animam meam ab his qui appropinquant mihi: quoniam inter multos erant mecum.

²⁰Exaudiet Deus, et humiliabit illos, qui est ante sæcula. Non enim est illis commutatio, et non timuerunt Deum.

²¹Extendit manum suam in retribuendo; contaminaverunt testamentum ejus:

²²divisi sunt ab ira vultus ejus, et appropinquavit cor illius. Molliti sunt sermones ejus super oleum; et ipsi sunt jacula.

²³Jacta super Dominum curam tuam, et ipse te enutriet; non dabit in æternum fluctuationem justo.

²⁴Tu vero, Deus, deduces eos in puteum interitus. Viri sanguinum et dolosi non dimidiabunt dies suos; ego autem sperabo in te, Domine.

¹Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ἐν ὕμνοις· συνέσεως τῷ Δαυείδ.

²Ἐνώτισαι, ὁ θεός, τὴν προσευχήν μου, καὶ μὴ ὑπερίδῃς τὴν δέησίν μου,

³πρόσχες μοι καὶ εἰσάκουσόν μου. ἐλυπήθην ἐν τῇ ἀδολεσχίᾳ μου, καὶ ἐταράχθην

⁴ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἐχθροῦ καὶ ἀπὸ θλίψεως ἁμαρτωλοῦ· ὅτι ἐξέκλιναν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἀνομίαν, καὶ ἐν ὀργῇ ἐνεκότουν μοι.

⁵ἡ καρδία μου ἐταράχθη ἐν ἐμοί, καὶ δειλία θανάτου ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ.

⁷καὶ εἶπα Τίς δώσει μοι πτέρυγας ὡσεὶ περιστερᾶς, καὶ πετασθήσομαι καὶ καταπαύσω;

⁸ἰδοὺ ἐμάκρυνα φυγαδεύων, καὶ ηὐλίσθην ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ. διάψαλμα.

⁹προσεδεχόμην τὸν σώζοντά με ἀπὸ ὀλιγοψυχίας καὶ καταιγίδος.

¹⁰καταπόντισον, κύριε, καὶ καταδίελε τὰς γλώσσας αὐτῶν, ὅτι εἶδον ἀνομίαν καὶ ἀντιλογίαν ἐν τῇ πόλει.

¹¹ἡμέρας καὶ νυκτὸς κυκλώσει αὐτὴν ἐπὶ τὰ τείχη αὐτῆς, ἀνομία καὶ πόνος ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς

¹²καὶ ἀδικία, καὶ οὐκ ἐξέλιπεν ἐκ τῶν πλατειῶν αὐτῆς κόπος καὶ δόλος.

¹³ὅτι εἰ ἐχθρὸς ὠνείδισέν με, ὑπήνεγκα ἄν, καὶ εἰ ὁ μισῶν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἐμεγαλοημόνησεν, ἐκρύβην ἂν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ.

¹⁴σὺ δέ, ἄνθρωπε ἰσόψυχε, ἡγεμών μου καὶ γνωστέ μου·

¹⁵ὃς ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ ἐγλύκανας ἐδέσματα, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐπορεύθημεν ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ.

¹⁶ἐλθέτω θάνατος ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, καὶ καταβήτωσαν εἰς ᾅδου ζῶντες· ὅτι πονηρίαι ἐν ταῖς παροικίαις αὐτῶν ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

¹⁷ἐγὼ πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἐκέκραξα, καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσέν μου.

¹⁸ἑσπέρας καὶ πρωὶ καὶ μεσημβρίας διηγήσομαι· ἀπαγγελῶ, καὶ εἰσακούσεται τῆς φωνῆς μου.

¹⁹λυτρώσεται ἐν εἰρήνῃ τὴν ψυχήν μου ἀπὸ τῶν ἐγγιζόντων μοι, ὅτι ἐν πολλοῖς ἦσαν σὺν ἐμοί.

²⁰εἰσακούσεται ὁ θεὸς καὶ ταπεινώσει αὐτοὺς ὁ ὑπάρχων πρὸ τῶν αἰώνων. διάψαλμα. οὐ γάρ ἐστιν αὐτοῖς ἀντάλλαγμα, καὶ οὐκ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν θεόν.

²¹ἐξέτεινεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδόναι· ἐβεβήλωσαν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ,

²²διεμερίσθησαν ἀπὸ ὀργῆς τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἤγγισεν ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ· ἡπαλύνθησαν οἱ λόγοι αὐτοῦ ὑπὲρ ἔλαιον, καὶ αὐτοί εἰσιν βολίδες.

²³ἐπίριψον ἐπὶ Κύριον τὴν μέριμνάν σου, καὶ αὐτός σε διαθρέψει· οὐ δώσει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα σάλον τῷ δικαίῳ.

²⁴σὺ δέ, ὁ θεός, κατάξεις αὐτοὺς εἰς φρέαρ διαφθορᾶς· ἄνδρες αἱμάτων καὶ δολιότητος οὐ μὴ ἡμισεύσωσιν τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτῶν· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλπιῶ ἐπὶ σέ, Κύριε.
