12 If an enemy were insulting me,
    I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,
    I could hide.
13 But it is you, a man like myself,
    my companion, my close friend,(A)
14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship(B)
    at the house of God,(C)
as we walked about
    among the worshipers.

15 Let death take my enemies by surprise;(D)
    let them go down alive to the realm of the dead,(E)
    for evil finds lodging among them.

16 As for me, I call to God,
    and the Lord saves me.
17 Evening,(F) morning(G) and noon(H)
    I cry out in distress,
    and he hears my voice.
18 He rescues me unharmed
    from the battle waged against me,
    even though many oppose me.
