Psalm 55:9-11

The Voice

⁹ Throw them off, O Lord. Confuse their speech, and frustrate their plans,
    for violence and contention are building within the city.
I can see it with my own eyes.
¹⁰ They plot day and night, scurrying the city walls like rats,
    trouble and evil lurking everywhere.
¹¹ In the heart of the city, destruction awaits.
    Oppression and lies swarm the streets,
    and they will not take leave; no, they will not go.
