Context of Psalms 55:13
11Wickedness is in her midst: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. 12For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it : neither was it he that hated me that magnified himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: But it was thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance. 14We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company. 15Let death seize upon them, and let them go down alive into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 9-15Verses 9-15 No wickedness so distresses the believer, as that which he witnesses in those who profess to be of the church of God.
