12 It was not an enemy insulting me.I could stand that.It was not someone who hated me.I could hide from him.
13 But it is you, a person like me,my companion and good friend.
14 We had a good friendshipand walked together to God’s Temple.
15 Let death take away my enemies.Let them die while they are still youngbecause evil lives with them.
16 But I will call to God for help,and the Lord will save me.
17 Morning, noon, and night I am troubled and upset,but he will listen to me.
18 Many are against me,but he keeps me safe in battle.
