Psalms 55:13-21 English Revised Version (ERV)

13. But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend.

14. We took sweet counsel together, we walked in the house of God with the throng.

15. Let death come suddenly upon them, let them go down alive into the pit: for wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them.

16. As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

17. Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan: and he shall hear my voice.

18. He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for they were many that strove with me.

19. God shall hear, and answer them, even he that abideth of old, Selah the men who have no changes, and who fear not God.

20. He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: he hath profaned his covenant.

21. His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
