New International Reader's Version

Psalm 55:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. God, listen to my prayer. Pay attention to my cry for help.

2. Hear me and answer me. My thoughts upset me. I'm very troubled.

3. I'm troubled by what my enemies say about me. I'm upset because sinful people stare at me. They cause me all kinds of suffering. When they are angry, they attack me with their words.

4. I feel great pain deep down inside me. The terrors of death are crushing me.
