Psalm 55:9-15
New King James Version
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their [a]tongues,
For I have seen (A)violence and strife in the city.
10 Day and night they go around it on its walls;
(B)Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.
11 Destruction is in its midst;
(C)Oppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.
12 (D)For it is not an enemy who reproaches me;
Then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has (E)exalted himself against me;
Then I could hide from him.
13 But it was you, a man my equal,
(F)My companion and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together,
And (G)walked to the house of God in the throng.
15 Let death seize them;
Let them (H)go down alive into [b]hell,
For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.
