Ketuvim
Tehillim55
Psalms · Chapter 55
Give ear to my prayer, O Elohim; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Because 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.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!
for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Lo,
then would I wander far off,
and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm
and tempest.
Destroy, O master,
and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow
are in the midst of it.
Wickedness
is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
For
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:
But
it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
We took sweet counsel together,
and walked unto the house of Elohim in company.
Let death seize upon them,
and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings,
and among them.
As for me, I will call upon Elohim; and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shall save me.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
He hath delivered my nephesh in peace from the battle
that was
against me: for there were many with me.
Elohim shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not Elohim.
He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his b'rit.
The 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.
Cast thy burden upon 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
But thou, O Elohim, 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.

Tehillim56
Psalms · Chapter 56
Be merciful unto me, O Elohim: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
Mine enemies would daily swallow
me up: for
they be
many that fight against me, O thou most High.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
In Elohim I will praise his word, in Elohim I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts
are against me for evil.
They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my nephesh.
Shall they escape by iniquity? in
thine anger cast down the people, O Elohim.
Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle:
are they not in thy book?
When I cry
unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for Elohim
is for me.
In Elohim will I praise
his word: in 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) will I praise
his word.
In Elohim have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
Thy vows
are upon me, O Elohim: I will render praises unto thee.
For thou hast delivered my nephesh from death:
wilt not
thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before Elohim in the light of the living?

Tehillim57
Psalms · Chapter 57
Be merciful unto me, O Elohim, be merciful unto me: for my nephesh trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until
these
calamities be overpast.
I will cry unto Elohim most high; unto Elohim that performeth
all things
for me.
He shall send from shamayim, and save
from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. Elohim shall send forth his mercy and his truth.
My nephesh
is among lions:
and I lie
even among
them that are set on fire,
even the sons of men, whose teeth
are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the shamayim;
let thy glory
be above all the earth.
They have prepared a net for my steps; my nephesh is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen
themselves.
Selah.
My heart is fixed, O Elohim, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I
myself will awake early.
I will praise thee, O master, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great unto the shamayim, and thy truth unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O Elohim, above the shamayim:
let thy glory
be above all the earth.
