The King James Version Bible

Psalms 55:11-18

  1. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

  2. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

  3. But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

  4. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

  5. Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

  6. As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

  7. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

  8. He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
