14 We used to share our secrets with one another, as we walked through the crowds together in God’s Temple.
15 I wish death would take my enemies by surprise! I wish the earth would open up and swallow them alive, because they plan such terrible things together.
16 I will call to God for help, and the Lord will save me.
17 I speak to God morning, noon, and night. I tell him what upsets me, and he listens to me!
18 I have fought in many battles, but he has always rescued me and brought me back safely.
19 God, who has always ruled as king, will hear me and punish my enemies. Selah But they will never change. They don’t fear and respect God.
20 This one who was once my friend now attacks his friends. He is breaking every promise he made.
