12
For [it was] not an enemy [that] reproached me; then I could have borne [it]: neither [was it] he that hated me [that] magnified [himself] against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13
But [it was] thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.
14
We took sweet counsel together, [and] walked to the house of God in company.
15
Let death seize upon them, [and] let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness [is] in their dwellings, [and] among them.
16
As for me, I will call upon God: and the LORD will save me.
17
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he will hear my voice.
18
He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle [that was] against me: for there were many with me.
19
God will hear and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20
He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
21
[The words] of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war [was] in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet [were] they drawn swords.
22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
