Maschil. Of David.&gt; Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request. <\/br><strong>2<\/strong> Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow; <\/br><strong>3<\/strong> I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me. <\/br><strong>4<\/strong> My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me. <\/br><strong>5<\/strong> Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered. <\/br><strong>6<\/strong> And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest. <\/br><strong>7<\/strong> I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah.) <\/br><strong>8<\/strong> I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind. <\/br><strong>9<\/strong> Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town. <\/br><strong>10<\/strong> By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it. <\/br><strong>11<\/strong> Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets. <\/br><strong>12<\/strong> For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place; <\/br><strong>13<\/strong> But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend. <\/br><strong>14<\/strong> We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company. <\/br><strong>15<\/strong> Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. <\/br><strong>16<\/strong> As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour. <\/br><strong>17<\/strong> In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears. <\/br><strong>18<\/strong> He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me. <\/br><strong>19<\/strong> God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah.) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God. <\/br><strong>20<\/strong> He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement. <\/br><strong>21<\/strong> The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords. <\/br><strong>22<\/strong> Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved. <\/br><strong>23<\/strong> But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you. <\/br><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n    google_ad_client = \"ca-pub-4647651612525789\";\n    google_ad_slot = \"6844414800\";\n    google_ad_width = 320;\n    google_ad_height = 100;\n<\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_320x100_more_for_mobile --><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- a2g_responsive_link_ads --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4647651612525789\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2949445208\"\n     data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>If you know someone that needs to give their heart to Jesus, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/2014\/05\/26\/bill-winstons-prayer-of-salvation-the-sinners-prayer\/\" title=\"great video of the Salvation Prayer\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a great video of the Salvation Prayer (Sinner&#8217;s Prayer).<\/a><\/strong><\/br><\/br>If you (or anyone you know) needs prayer, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/24-hour-toll-free-prayer-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\">here&#8217;s a list of toll free 24 hour prayer lines.<\/a><\/strong> <\/br><br \/><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/index.php\/salvation\/faqs-about-salvation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s a list of frequently asked questions about Salvation.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/><\/br>To access different versions of the Bible, click the following links: <br \/> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=king+james+version\" target=\"_blank\">King James Version (KJV), <\/a><\/strong> <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=American+Standard+Version\" target=\"_blank\">American Standard Version (ASV), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=World+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">World English Bible (WEB), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Darby+English+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Darby English Bible (DARBY), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Bible+in+Basic+English\" target=\"_blank\">Bible in Basic English (BBE), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Webster+Bible\" target=\"_blank\">Webster&#8217;s Bible (WBT), <\/a><\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.accesstogod.com\/?s=Young+Literal+Translation\" target=\"_blank\">Young&#8217;s Literal Translation (YLT)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 &lt;To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth.
