Psalms 55:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 55:16

14 We took sweet counsel together,
And ^awalked to the house of God in the throng.

15 Let death seize them;
Let them ^ago down alive into hell,
For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.

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

17 ^aEvening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.

18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For ^athere were many against me.

19 God will hear, and afflict them,
^aEven He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.

20 He has ^aput forth his hands against those who ^bwere at peace with him;
He has broken his¹ covenant.

21 ^aThe words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.

22 ^aCast your burden on the Lord,
And ^bHe shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be¹ moved.

23 But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction;
^aBloodthirsty and deceitful men ^bshall not live out half their days;
But I will trust in You.
