Read in context

Psalms 55:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

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

14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.

15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
