10. Cast them down, O Lord, and divide their tongues. For I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
11. Day and night, iniquity will surround it upon its walls, and hardship is in its midst,
12. with injustice. And usury and deceit have not fallen away from its streets.
13. For if my enemy had spoken evil about me, certainly, I would have sustained it. And if he who hated me had been speaking great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
14. Truly, you are a man of one mind: my leader and my acquaintance,
15. who took sweet food together with me. In the house of God, we walked side-by-side.
16. Let death come upon them, and let them descend alive into Hellfire. For there is wickedness in their dwellings, in their midst.
17. But I have cried out to God, and the Lord will save me.
18. Evening and morning and midday, I will discourse and announce, and he will heed my voice.
19. He will redeem my soul in peace from those who draw near to me. For, among the many, they were with me.
