Psalms 55:9-16
9ConfuseH1104 them, LordH136, 1divideH6385 their tonguesH3956, For I have seenH7200 2violenceH2555 and strifeH7379 in the cityH5892.10DayH3119 and nightH3915 they goH5437 aroundH5437 her upon her wallsH2346, And evilH205 and harmH5999 are in her midstH7130.113DestructionH1942 is in her midstH7130; 4OppressionH8496 and deceitH4820 do not departH4185 from her 5streetsH7339.
12For it is 6not an enemyH340 who tauntsH2778 me, Then I could endureH5375 it; NorH3808 is it one who hatesH8130 me who 7has exaltedH1431 himself againstH5921 me, Then I could hideH5641 myself from him.13But it is you, a manH582 8my equalH6187, My 9companionH441 and my 10confidantH3045;14We whoH834 hadH4985 sweetH4985 11fellowshipH5475 togetherH3164, 12WalkedH1980 in the houseH1004 of GodH430 among the commotionH7285.15May 13deathH4194 come 14deceitfullyH5378 upon them; May they 15goH3381 downH3381 aliveH2416 to 16SheolH7585, For evilH7451 is in their dwellingH4033, in their midstH7130.
16As for me, I shall 17callH7121 upon GodH430, And the LordH3068 will saveH3467 me.
