13 But it's you, someone like myself. It's my companion, my close friend.
14 We used to enjoy good friendship as we walked with the crowds at the house of God.
15 Let death take my enemies by surprise. Let them be buried alive, because their hearts and homes are full of evil.
16 But I call out to God. And the Lord saves me.
17 Evening, morning and noon I groan and cry out. And he hears my voice.
18 Even though many enemies are fighting against me, he brings me safely back from the battle.
19 God sits on his throne forever. He hears my prayers and makes my enemies suffer. Selah They never change their ways. They don't have any respect for God.
