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.
12aFor itis not an enemy who reproaches me; Then I could bear it. Nor isit one who hates me who has bexalted himself against me; Then I could hide from him.
13 But itwas you, a man my equal, aMy companion and my acquaintance.
14 We took sweet counsel together, Andawalked 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.
17aEvening 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 thatwas 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.
