7Lo, then would I 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 the walls thereof: Mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11Wickedness is in the midst thereof: 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 did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13But it was thou, a man mine equal, My guide, and mine acquaintance.
14We took sweet counsel together, And walked unto the house of God in company.
15Let death seize upon them, And let them go down quick into hell: For wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
16As for me, I will call upon God; And the Lord shall save me.
17Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: And he shall hear my voice.
