Psalms 55:7-14

⁷Lo, then I would wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

⁸I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

⁹Destroy, O LORD, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

¹⁰Day and night they go about it upon its walls: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

¹¹Wickedness is in the midst of it: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

¹²For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it : neither was it he that hated me that magnified himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

¹³But it was thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.

¹⁴We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company.
