Read in context

Psalms 55:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.

18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.

19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
