Dolore del salmista tradito da un amico

1 Al direttore del coro. Per strumenti a corda. Cantico di Davide. Porgi orecchio alla mia preghiera, o Dio, non essere insensibile alla mia supplica. 2 Dammi ascolto, e rispondimi; mi lamento senza posa e gemo, 3 per la voce del nemico, per l’oppressione dell’empio; poiché riversano iniquità su di me e mi perseguitano con furore. 4 Dentro di me palpita violentemente il mio cuore e una paura mortale mi è piombata addosso. 5 Paura e tremito m’invadono e sono preso dal panico; 6 e io dico: «Oh, avessi ali come di colomba, per volare via e trovare riposo! 7 Ecco, fuggirei lontano, andrei ad abitare nel deserto; [Pausa] 8 mi affretterei a ripararmi dal vento impetuoso e dalla tempesta». 9 Annientali, Signore, confondi il loro linguaggio, poiché io vedo violenza e contesa nella città. 10 Giorno e notte si aggirano sulle sue mura; ingiustizia e malvagità sono dentro di essa. 11 All’interno ci sono delitti, violenza e insidie non cessano nelle sue piazze. 12 Se mi avesse offeso un nemico, l’avrei sopportato; se un avversario avesse cercato di sopraffarmi, mi sarei nascosto da lui; 13 ma sei stato tu, l’uomo che io stimavo come mio pari, mio compagno e mio intimo amico. 14 Ci incontravamo con piacere; insieme, tra la folla, andavamo alla casa di Dio. 15 Li sorprenda la morte! Scendano vivi nel soggiorno dei morti! Poiché nelle loro case e in cuor loro non v’è che malvagità. 16 Io invocherò Dio, e il Signore mi salverà. 17 La sera, la mattina e a mezzogiorno mi lamenterò e gemerò, ed egli udrà la mia voce. 18 Darà pace all’anima mia, liberandomi dai loro assalti, perché sono in molti contro di me. 19 Dio ascolterà e li umilierà, egli che siede da sempre sul suo trono; [Pausa] perché essi rifiutano di cambiare e non temono Dio. 20 Il nemico ha steso la mano contro chi viveva in pace con lui, ha violato il suo patto. 21 La sua bocca è più untuosa del burro, ma nel cuore ha la guerra; le sue parole sono più delicate dell’olio, ma in realtà sono spade sguainate. 22 Getta sul Signore il tuo affanno^[1], ed egli ti sosterrà; egli non permetterà mai che il giusto vacilli. 23 Ma tu, o Dio, farai scendere costoro nella tomba; gli uomini sanguinari e fraudolenti non arriveranno alla metà dei loro giorni; ma io confiderò in te.

Psalm 55

1 Dem Chorleiter. Mit Saitenspiel. Ein Maskil^[1]. Von David. 2 Nimm zu Ohren, Gott, mein Gebet, und verbirg dich nicht vor meinem Flehen! (Sal 17,1; Lam 3,56) 3 Horche auf mich und antworte mir! Ich irre umher in meiner Klage und muss stöhnen 4 vor der Stimme des Feindes, vor der Bedrückung des Gottlosen; denn sie wälzen Unheil auf mich, und im Zorn feinden sie mich an. (2Sam 16,7; Sal 42,10) 5 Mein Herz bebte in meinem Innern, und Todesschrecken haben mich befallen. (Sal 18,6) 6 Furcht und Zittern kamen mich an, und Schauder bedeckte mich. (Is 21,4) 7 Und ich sprach: Hätte ich doch Flügel wie die Taube, ich wollte hinfliegen und ruhen. 8 Siehe, weithin entflöhe ich, würde nächtigen in der Wüste. // 9 Ich wollte eilen, dass ich Zuflucht hätte vor dem heftigen Wind, vor dem Sturm. 10 Verwirre, Herr, spalte ihre Zunge! – denn Gewalttat und Streit habe ich in der Stadt gesehen. (2Sam 15,31; Sal 58,3) 11 Tag und Nacht machen sie die Runde um sie auf ihren Mauern; und Unheil und Mühsal sind in ihrer Mitte. (Is 59,6) 12 Verderben ist in ihrer Mitte, und Bedrückung und Betrug^[2] weichen nicht von ihrem ⟨Markt⟩platz. 13 Denn nicht ein Feind höhnt mich, sonst würde ich es ertragen; nicht mein Hasser hat großgetan gegen mich, sonst würde ich mich vor ihm verbergen; 14 sondern du, ein Mensch meinesgleichen, mein Freund und mein Vertrauter, (Giob 19,19; Sal 41,10) 15 die wir die Süße der Gemeinschaft miteinander erlebten, ins Haus Gottes gingen in ⟨festlicher⟩ Unruhe! 16 Der Tod überrasche sie, lebendig mögen sie hinabfahren in den Scheol; denn Bosheiten sind in ihrer Wohnung^[3], in ihrem Innern. (Nu 16,33) 17 Ich aber, ich rufe zu Gott, und der HERR rettet mich. (Sal 72,12) 18 Abends und morgens und mittags klage und stöhne ich; und er hat meine Stimme gehört. (Sal 17,1; Lam 3,56; Lu 18,7) 19 Er hat meine Seele zum Frieden erlöst, dass sie mir nicht nahen können^[4]; denn mit vielen sind sie gegen mich gewesen. 20 Hören wird Gott und sie unterdrücken – er thront ja von alters her; // weil es keine Zuverlässigkeit^[5] bei ihnen gibt und sie Gott nicht fürchten. (2Re 17,34; Sal 6,10; Sal 93,2; Ger 5,3)

2Re 17,34Sal 6,10Sal 93,2Ger 5,3

21 Er^[6] hat ausgestreckt seine Hände gegen seine Freunde^[7], entweiht hat er seinen Bund. 22 Glatter als weiche Butter ist sein Mund^[8], und Feindschaft ist sein Herz; geschmeidiger als Öl sind seine Worte, aber sie sind gezogene Schwerter. (Sal 12,3; Mat 26,49) 23 Wirf auf den HERRN deine Last^[9], und er wird dich erhalten; er wird für ewig nicht zulassen, dass der Gerechte wankt. (Sal 66,9; Sal 112,6; Sal 121,3; 1P 5,7)

Sal 66,9Sal 112,6Sal 121,31P 5,7

24 Und du, Gott, wirst sie hinabstürzen in den Brunnen der Grube^[10]; die Männer des Blutes und des Betruges^[11] werden ihre Tage nicht zur Hälfte bringen. Ich aber will auf dich vertrauen. (Sal 40,3; Sal 62,2; Sal 109,8; Prov 10,27)

Cast Your Burden on the Lord

1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Maskil^[1] of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy! (Sal 4,1; Sal 54,2; Sal 61,1; Sal 86,6)

Sal 4,1Sal 54,2Sal 61,1Sal 86,6

2 Attend to me, and answer me; I am restless in my complaint and I moan, (Sal 55,17; Sal 64,1; Is 38,14; Is 59,11)

Sal 55,17Sal 64,1Is 38,14Is 59,11

3 because of the noise of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked. For they drop trouble upon me, and in anger they bear a grudge against me. (2Sam 16,7) 4 My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. (Sal 116,3) 5 Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me. (Giob 21,6; Sal 78,53; Is 21,4; Ez 7,18)

Giob 21,6Sal 78,53Is 21,4Ez 7,18

6 And I say, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest; 7 yes, I would wander far away; I would lodge in the wilderness; (Ger 9,2) 8 I would hurry to find a shelter from the raging wind and tempest.” (Sal 83,15) 9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues; for I see violence and strife in the city. (Gen 11,9; Ger 6,7) 10 Day and night they go around it on its walls, and iniquity and trouble are within it; (Sal 5,9) 11 ruin is in its midst; oppression and fraud do not depart from its marketplace. (Sal 10,7) 12 For it is not an enemy who taunts me— then I could bear it; it is not an adversary who deals insolently with me— then I could hide from him. (Giob 19,5) 13 But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. (2Sam 15,12; 2Sam 16,23; Sal 41,9) 14 We used to take sweet counsel together; within God’s house we walked in the throng. (Sal 42,4) 15 Let death steal over them; let them go down to Sheol alive; for evil is in their dwelling place and in their heart. (Nu 16,30; Nu 16,33; Sal 124,3; Prov 1,12)

Nu 16,30Nu 16,33Sal 124,3Prov 1,12

16 But I call to God, and the Lord will save me. 17 Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice. (Sal 5,3; Sal 55,2; Sal 88,13; Sal 92,2; Sal 141,2; Da 6,10; At 3,1; At 10,3; At 10,9; At 10,30)

18 He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me. (Sal 56,2) 19 God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, because they do not change and do not fear God. (De 33,27; Giob 10,17; Giob 21,7) 20 My companion^[2] stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant. (At 12,1) 21 His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. (Sal 28,3; Sal 57,4; Prov 5,3) 22 Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved. (Sal 10,6; Sal 37,5) 23 But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you. (Giob 15,32; Sal 5,6; Sal 11,1; Sal 55,15; Sal 56,7; Sal 59,11; Sal 69,15; Sal 94,13; Prov 10,27)

King James Version

1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. 2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise; 3 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. 4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. 6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. 7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah. 8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. 9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. 12 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: 13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. 15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick 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 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. 18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me. 19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. 20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. 21 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. 22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 23 But 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.
