Psalms 55:11-15
Destruction is in her midst; Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets.For it is not an enemy who taunts me, Then I could endure it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him.But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my confidant;We who had sweet fellowship together, Walked in the house of God among the commotion.May death come deceitfully upon them; May they go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst.
