Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Verse 1 is found in chapter 55 of Psalms. Psalm 55 combines personal anguish, social violence, and betrayal by a close friend. The possibility of escaping by flight contrasts with the reality of remaining within a city dominated by conflict. The betrayal is especially painful because it comes from someone who shared worship and friendship. The counsel to cast one’s burden upon the Lord turns an experience of anxiety into an invitation to trust in God’s continual care.
