Give H7181 Your attention H7181 to me and answer H6030 me;

Because H4480 of the voice H6963 of the enemy H340,

Because H4480 H6440 of the pressure H6125 of the wicked H7563;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:5 -

Fear H3374 and trembling H7461 come H935 upon me,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:22 -

Cast H7993 your burden H3053 upon the LORD H3068 and He will sustain H3557 you;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:23 -

But You, God H430, will bring H3381 them down H3381 to the pit H875 of destruction H7845;

But I will trust H982 in You.
