Psalms 55:11-18

¹¹(55-12) Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.

¹²(55-13) For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.

¹³(55-14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;

¹⁴(55-15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.

¹⁵(55-16) May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.

¹⁶(55-17) As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

¹⁷(55-18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.

¹⁸(55-19) He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.
