Berean Standard Bible

“Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.”

Psalms 55:1

Save as image

Study note

Psalms 55 is a lament of David marked by one of the most painful experiences in Scripture: betrayal by a close companion who once shared worship with him. The city around him is full of violence and deceit, and he longs for the wings of a dove to fly away.
