8
(54-9) I waited for him that hath saved me from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
9
(54-10) Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
10
(54-11) Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: and in the midst thereof are labour,
11
(54-12) And injustice. And usury and deceit have not departed from its streets.
12
(54-13) For if my enemy had reviled me, I would verily have borne with it. And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, I would perhaps have hidden my self from him.
13
(54-14) But thou a man of one mind, my guide, and my familiar,
14
(54-15) Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: in the house of God we walked with consent.
15
(54-16) Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into hell. For there is wickedness in their dwellings: in the midst of them.
16
(54-17) But I have cried to God: and the Lord will save me.
17
(54-18) Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: and he shall hear my voice.
18
(54-19) He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: for among many they were with me.
