Psalms

Psalm 55:12–14

¹²For it is not an enemy who insults me;

that I could endure.

It is not a foe who rises against me;

from him I could hide.

¹³But it is you, a man like myself,

my companion and close friend.

¹⁴We shared sweet fellowship together;

we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
