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.
