NET Bible
"Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me, or else I could bear it; it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me, or else I could hide from him."
— Psalms 55:12, NET Bible
“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:”
“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: ”
“For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.”
“In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee:”
“For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;”
“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:”
Confuse them, O Lord! Frustrate their plans! For I see violence and conflict in the city.
Day and night they walk around on its walls, while wickedness and destruction are within it.
Disaster is within it; violence and deceit do not depart from its public square.
Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me, or else I could bear it; it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me, or else I could hide from him.
But it is you, a man like me, my close friend in whom I confided.
We would share personal thoughts with each other; in God’s temple we would walk together among the crowd.
May death destroy them! May they go down alive into Sheol! For evil is in their dwelling place and in their midst.
