Psalms 55:3

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.

Because of the voice {H6963} of the enemy {H341}{H8802)}, because {H6440} of the oppression {H6125} of the wicked {H7563}: for they cast {H4131}{H8686)} iniquity {H205} upon me, and in wrath {H639} they hate {H7852}{H8799)} me.

at how the enemy shouts, at how the wicked oppress; for they keep heaping trouble on me and angrily tormenting me.

at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.

Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked; For they cast iniquity upon me, And in anger they persecute me.
