Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language,

for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

Selected verse

Destructive forces are within her.

Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

12

For 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 hidden myself from him.

13

But it was you, a man like me,

my companion, and my familiar friend.

14

We took sweet fellowship together.

We walked in God’s house with company.
