9. “I would soon find a shelterSelahfrom the raging wind and storm.”
10. Lord, check and confuse their tongues.For I see violence and strife in the city
11. making rounds on its walls day and night.Within are mischief and trouble;
12. treachery is in its midst;oppression and fraud never leave its streets.
13. For it is not an enemy that reviled me –that I could bear –Not a foe who viewed me with contempt,from that I could hide.
14. But it was you, my other self,my comrade and friend,
15. You, whose company I enjoyed,at whose side I walkedin the house of God.
16. Let death take them;let them go down alive to Sheol,for evil is in their homes and bellies.
17. But I will call upon God,and the Lord will save me.
