## Psalms 55:11 in Context (Verses 8–14 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/55/8) I would hasten my escape from the windy storm *and* tempest.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/55/9) Destroy, O Lord, *and* divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/55/10) Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow *are* in the midst of it.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/55/11) Wickedness *is* in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/55/12) For *it was* not an enemy *that* reproached me; then I could have borne *it:* neither *was it* he that hated me *that* did magnify *himself* against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/55/13) But *it was* thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/55/14) We took sweet counsel together, *and* walked unto the house of God in company.*
 
[Psalms 54](/kjv/psalms/54) [Psalms 56](/kjv/psalms/56)
