Psalms 55:7-13

⁷I would fly far away and live in the desert.

⁸I would quickly find a shelter from my enemies who are like MET a strong wind and rainstorm.”

⁹Lord, confuse my enemies, and cause their plans to fail, because I see them acting violently and causing strife in the city of Jerusalem.

¹⁰During each day and night they march around on top of its walls, committing crimes and causing trouble.

¹¹They destroy things everywhere. They oppress and defraud people in the ◄marketplaces/public squares►.

¹²If it were an enemy who was making fun of me, I could endure it. If it were someone who hates me, who despises me, I could hide from him.

¹³But it is someone who is just like me, my companion, someone who was my friend who is doing this to me.
