12. For it was not an enemy who insulted me,then I could have endured it.Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me,then I would have hidden myself from him.
13. But it was you, a man like me,my companion, and my familiar friend.
14. We took sweet fellowship together.We walked in God’s house with company.
15. Let death come suddenly on them.Let them go down alive into Sheol.For wickedness is amongst them, in their dwelling.
16. As for me, I will call on God.The Lord will save me.
17. Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress.He will hear my voice.
18. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,although there are many who oppose me.
