Psalm 55:9-15

New American Standard Bible

⁹ Confuse them, Lord, ^(A)divide their tongues,
For I have seen ^(B)violence and strife in the city.
¹⁰ Day and night they go around her upon her walls,
And evil and harm are in her midst.
^11 (C)Destruction is in her midst;
^(D)Oppression and deceit do not depart from her ^[a]streets.

¹² For it is ^(E)not an enemy who taunts me,
Then I could endure it;
Nor is it one who hates me who ^(F)has exalted himself against me,
Then I could hide myself from him.
¹³ But it is you, a man ^[b]my equal,
My ^(G)companion and my ^(H)confidant;
¹⁴ We who had sweet ^[c]fellowship together,
^(I)Walked in the house of God among the commotion.
¹⁵ May ^[d]death come ^(J)deceitfully upon them;
May they ^(K)go down alive to ^[e]Sheol,
For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.
