Read in context

Psalms 55:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.

11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.

12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
