New Century Version

Psalms 55:10-15 New Century Version (NCV)

10. Day and night they are all around its walls,and evil and trouble are everywhere inside.

11. Destruction is everywhere in the city;trouble and lying never leave its streets.

12. It was not an enemy insulting me.I could stand that.It was not someone who hated me.I could hide from him.

13. But it is you, a person like me,my companion and good friend.

14. We had a good friendshipand walked together to God’s Temple.

15. Let death take away my enemies.Let them die while they are still youngbecause evil lives with them.
