Psalm 55:10 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 55.

6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.

7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain. Selah

8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”

9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.

11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.

12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.

13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.

14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
