Psalms 55

David cries out to **YHWH** in anguish over enemies' oppression and betrayal by a close companion who shared sweet counsel at the house of God, wishing for wings like a dove to flee to the wilderness.[1][2] He prays for divine judgment on them to descend alive into **Sheol**, commits to constant prayer morning, noon, and evening, and exhorts to cast burdens on **YHWH** who sustains the righteous while condemning the treacherous.[1][2]
