Betrayal by a Friend

55 Pay attention to my prayer, God,
    and do not hide yourself from my appeal.
2 Pay attention to me and answer me.
    I moan and groan in my thoughts,
3 because of the voice of the enemy,
and because of the oppression of the wicked.
They bring down evil upon me,
    and in anger they hate me.
