9Confuse them, Lord, upset their plans; for I see violence and strife in the city.
10By day and by night they make their rounds on the city walls, while within is crime and trouble,
11within is ruin. Her market-place is never free of deceit and tyranny.
12The taunts were not those of a foe that I could have borne; the disdain was not that of an enemy I could have shunned them:
13but it was you, my equal, my dear and familiar friend.
14We used to be so close, together we walked in God's house with the crowd.
15May death suddenly take them, may they go down to Sheol alive, for evil lives in their homes and their hearts.
16But I will call on God, the Lord will save me.
