WORD Research this...Psalms 55
- 1 Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
- 2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
- 3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
- 4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
- 5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
- 6 I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
- 7 Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.” Selah.
- 8 “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
- 9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
- 10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
- 11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.
- 12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
- 13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
- 14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.
- 15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.
- 16 As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.
- 17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
- 18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
- 19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, who don’t fear God.
- 20 He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.
- 21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
- 22 Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
- 23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.

How This All Works
Your persistent session key, together with your favourite verse, authenticates you. It links to all your notes and tags in the Bible. You can share it with loved ones so they can see your notes and tags.
However, to modify your notes and tags, you need both the persistent session key and your favourite verse.
Please Keep Your Favourite Verse Private
Your persistent session key and favourite verse provide you exclusive access to edit your notes and tags. Think of your persistent session key as a username and your favourite verse as a password. Therefore, ensure your favourite verse is kept private.
The persistent session key allows viewing, while editing is only possible when the correct favourite verse is provided.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
