7 Look, I will escape to a distant place;I will stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 I will hurry off to a place that is safefrom the strong wind and the gale.”
9 Confuse them, O Lord!Frustrate their plans!For I see violence and conflict in the city.
10 Day and night they walk around on its walls,while wickedness and destruction are within it.
11 Disaster is within it;violence and deceit do not depart from its public square.
12 Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me,or else I could bear it;it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me,or else I could hide from him.
13 But it is you, a man like me,my close friend in whom I confided.
