Psa 55:2Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

Psa 55:3

Psa 55:4

Psa 55:4My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.

Psa 55:11Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don't depart from her streets.

Psa 55:12

Psa 55:12For 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 hid myself from him.

Psa 55:13

Psa 55:13But it was you, a man like me, My companion, and my familiar friend.
