Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
9 I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
10 Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
11 By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
12 Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
13 For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
14 But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
15 We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
