Psalms 55:11-20

¹¹Mischiefs are in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.

¹²For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear it, He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.

¹³But thou, a man — as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.

¹⁴When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.

¹⁵Desolations are upon them, They go down to Sheol — alive, For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

¹⁶I — to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,

¹⁸He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

¹⁹God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,

²⁰He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
