Context of Psalms 55:14
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: 13But it was thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance. We 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. 16As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
