5 Do not trust a neighbour;put no confidence in a friend.Even with the woman who lies in your embraceguard the words of your lips.
6 For a son dishonours his father,a daughter rises up against her mother,a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –a man’s enemies are the members of his own household.
7 But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord,I wait for God my Saviour;my God will hear me.
8 Do not gloat over me, my enemy!Though I have fallen, I will rise.Though I sit in darkness,the Lord will be my light.
9 Because I have sinned against him,I will bear the Lord’s wrath,until he pleads my caseand upholds my cause.He will bring me out into the light;I will see his righteousness.
10 Then my enemy will see itand will be covered with shame,she who said to me,‘Where is the Lord your God?’My eyes will see her downfall;even now she will be trampled underfootlike mire in the streets.
11 The day for building your walls will come,the day for extending your boundaries.
