It is not enemies who taunt me—
I could bear that;
it is not adversaries who deal insolently with me—
I could hide from them.
13But it is you, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend,
14with whom I kept pleasant company;
we walked in the house of God with the throng.
15Let death come upon them;
let them go down alive to Sheol;
for evil is in their homes and in their hearts.
But I call upon God,
and the Lord will save me.
17Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan,
and he will hear my voice.
18He will redeem me unharmed
from the battle that I wage,
for many are arrayed against me.
19God, who is enthroned from of old,
Selah
will hear, and will humble them—
because they do not change,
and do not fear God.
20My companion laid hands on a friend
and violated a covenant with me *
21with speech smoother than butter,
but with a heart set on war;
with words that were softer than oil,
but in fact were drawn swords
Psalm 55:12-21
God be merciful to me...I too have sinned and hurt others, manipulated and schemed and sought my own way. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
