Psalms 55:9-16

9Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues, For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10Day and night they go around it on its walls; Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.

11Destruction is in its midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.

12For it is not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me; Then I could hide from him.

13But it was you, a man my equal, My companion and my acquaintance.

14We took sweet counsel together, And walked to the house of God in the throng.

15Let death seize them; Let them go down alive 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.
