Psalms 55:11-17

¹¹Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

¹²For 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.

¹³But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

¹⁴We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

¹⁵Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is amongst them, in their dwelling.

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.

¹⁷Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
