Psalms 55:11

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.

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.

Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
