10. Day and night they walk around on its walls,while wickedness and destruction are within it.
11. Disaster is within it;violence and deceit do not depart from its public square.
12. Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me,or else I could bear it;it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me,or else I could hide from him.
13. But it is you, a man like me,my close friend in whom I confided.
14. We would share personal thoughts with each other;in God’s temple we would walk together among the crowd.
15. May death destroy them!May they go down alive into Sheol!For evil is in their dwelling place and in their midst.
16. As for me, I will call out to God,and the Lord will deliver me.
17. During the evening, morning, and noontimeI will lament and moan,and he will hear me.
18. He will rescue me and protect me from those who attack me,even though they greatly outnumber me.
19. God, the one who has reigned as king from long ago,will hear and humiliate them. (Selah)They refuse to change,and do not fear God.
