Psalm 55:10

Betrayal By A Friend

⁹
Confuse [my enemies], O Lord, divide their tongues [destroying their schemes],
For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
¹⁰

Wickedness and mischief are in her midst.
¹¹
Destruction is within her;
Oppression and deceit do not depart from her streets and market places.
