Psalms 55:11 Context
9Destroy, O Lord, and diuide their tongues: for I haue seene violence and strife in the citie. 10Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: mischiefe also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 11Wickednesse is in the midst thereof: deceite and guile depart not from her streets. 12For it was not an enemie that reproached me, then I could haue borne it, neither was it hee that hated me, that did magnifie himselfe against me, then I would haue hid my selfe from him. 13But it was thou, a man, mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
