Psalm 55:12-14
King James Version

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship(B)
    at the house of God,(C)
as we walked about
    among the worshipers.
