Psalms 55:14
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.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
