12. If an enemy had insulted me,then I could bear it.If someone who hated me had attacked me,then I could hide from him.
13. But it is you, my equal,my best friend,one I knew so well!
14. We used to talk to each other in complete confidenceand walk into God’s house with the festival crowds.
15. Let death suddenly take ⌊wicked people⌋!Let them go into the grave while they are still alive,because evil lives in their homes as well as in their hearts.
16. But I call on God,and the Lord saves me.
17. Morning, noon, and night I complain and groan,and he listens to my voice.
