11Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
12For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
13But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
14We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
15Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts.
16As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
17In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
18He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
19God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah.) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
20He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
