Psalms 55:12

10 Day and night they go around it on its walls;
^aIniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.

11 Destruction is in its midst;
^aOppression and deceit do not depart from its streets.

12 ^aFor it is not an enemy who reproaches me;
Then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has ^bexalted himself against me;
Then I could hide from him.

13 But it was you, a man my equal,
^aMy companion and my acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together,
And ^awalked to the house of God in the throng.

15 Let death seize them;
Let them ^ago down alive into hell,
For wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.

16 As for me, I will call upon God,
And the Lord shall save me.

17 ^aEvening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.

18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For ^athere were many against me.

19 God will hear, and afflict them,
^aEven He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.
