God is SHE/God is THEY Psalms

Psalm 55

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David.
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 the streets.
12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it they that hated me that did magnify themselves against me; then I would have hid myself from them:
13. But it was thou, a person 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 They shall hear my voice.
18. They have 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 they that abide of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20. They have put forth their hands against such as be at peace with them: they have broken their covenant.
21. The words of their mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in their heart: their words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and They shall sustain thee: They shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23. But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: the bloody and deceitful shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
