Psalms 55:9-16

9Confuse [my enemies], O Lord, divide their tongues [destroying their schemes], For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10Day and night they go around her walls; Wickedness and mischief are in her midst.

11Destruction is within her; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets and market places.

12For it is not an enemy who taunts me— Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who has hated me who insolently exalts himself against me— Then I could hide from him.

13But it is you, a man my equal and my counsel, My companion and my familiar friend;

14We who had sweet fellowship together, Who walked to the house of God in company.

15Let death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead), For evil [of every kind] is in their dwelling and in their hearts, in their midst.

16As for me, I shall call upon God, And the Lord will save me.
