Psalm 53

1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men,3 Every one of them is gone back; they are together become filthy;4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was;6 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion!

Psalm 54

1 Save me, O God, by thy name,2 Hear my prayer, O God;3 For strangers are risen up against me,

4 Behold, God is my helper:5 He will requite the evil unto mine enemies:6 With a freewill-offering will I sacrifice unto thee:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble;

Psalm 55

1 Give ear to my prayer, O God;2 Attend unto me, and answer me:3 Because of the voice of the enemy,4 My heart is sore pained within me:5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me,6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove!7 Lo, then would I wander far off,

8 I would haste me to a shelter9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue;10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me;13 But it was thou, a man mine equal,14 We took sweet counsel together;15 Let death come suddenly upon them,16 As for me, I will call upon God;17 Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan;18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me;19 God will hear, and answer them,

20 He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him:21 His mouth was smooth as butter,22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee:23 But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
