Psalms 55:9-16

9Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city;

10day and night they make the rounds on its walls. Crime and trouble are within it;

11destruction is inside it; oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.

12Now it is not an enemy who insults me — otherwise I could bear it; it is not a foe who rises up against me — otherwise I could hide from him.

13But it is you, a man who is my peer, my companion and good friend!

14We used to have close fellowship; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.

15Let death take them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, because evil is in their homes and within them.

16But I call to God, and the Lord will save me.
