Contemporary English Version Anglicised

Psalms 55:7-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. I would go and livein some distant desert.

8. I would quickly find shelterfrom howling windsand raging storms.

9. Confuse my enemies, Lord!Upset their plans.Cruelty and violenceare all I see in the city,

10. and they are like guardson patrol day and night.The city is full of trouble,evil,

11. and corruption.Troublemakers and liarsfreely roam the streets.

12. My enemies are not the oneswho sneer and make fun.I could put up with thator even hide from them.

13. But it was my closest friend,the one I trusted most.

14. We enjoyed being together,and we went with othersto your house, our God.
