   Bible Reading for April 29   
      
   Psalms 55   
   [1] 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.   
      
   Psalms 56   
   [1] Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily   
   oppresseth me.   
   [2] Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight   
   against me, O thou most High.   
   [3] What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. [4] In God I will praise his   
   word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.   
   [5] Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.   
   [6] They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps,   
   when they wait for my soul.   
   [7] Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.   
   [8] Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they   
   not in thy book?   
   [9] When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for   
   God is for me.   
   [10] In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word. [11]   
   In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.   
   [12] Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. [13] For   
   thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from   
   falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?   
      
   Psalms 57   
   [1] Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in   
   thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these   
   calamities be overpast.   
   [2] I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.   
   [3] He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him that would   
   swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. [4] My   
   soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the   
   sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.   
   [5] Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the   
   earth.   
   [6] They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have   
   digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves.   
   Selah.   
   [7] My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.   
   [8] Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.   
   [9] I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among   
   the nations.   
   [10] For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.   
   [11] Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the   
   earth.
