Psalms 55:12-22

¹²For it was not an enemy that reproached me; Then I could have borne it: Neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; Then I would have hid myself from him:

¹³But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend.

¹⁴We took sweet counsel together; We walked in the house of God with the throng.

¹⁵Let death come suddenly upon them, Let them go down alive into Sheol; For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

¹⁶As for me, I will call upon God; And Jehovah will save me.

¹⁷Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.

¹⁸He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many that strove with me.

¹⁹God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah The men who have no changes, And who fear not God.

²⁰He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.

²¹His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.

²²Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
