Psalms 55:10-19

¹⁰Day and night they go about on its walls; iniquity and mischief are in the middle of it.

¹¹Wickedness is in the middle of it; oppression and deceit do not leave its streets.

¹²For it was not an enemy who rebuked me, then I could have borne it; neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

¹³But it was you, a man equal to myself, my companion and my close friend.

¹⁴We had sweet fellowship together; we walked in the house of God with the throng.

¹⁵Let death come suddenly on them; let them go down alive to Sheol, for wickedness is where they live, right among them.

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God, and Yahweh will save me.

¹⁷In the evening, morning and at noonday I complain and moan; he will hear my voice.

¹⁸He will safely rescue my life from the battle that was against me, for those who fought against me were many.

¹⁹God, the one who rules from eternity, will hear them and humiliate them. Selah They never change, and they do not fear God.
