| Psal | NETtext | 55:10 | Day and night they walk around on its walls, while wickedness and destruction are within it. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 55:12 | 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. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 55:14 | We would share personal thoughts with each other; in God's temple we would walk together among the crowd. | |

| Psal | NETtext | 55:18 | He will rescue me and protect me from those who attack me, even though they greatly outnumber me. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 55:19 | God, the one who has reigned as king from long ago, will hear and humiliate them. (Selah) They refuse to change, and do not fear God. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 55:21 | His words are as smooth as butter, but he harbors animosity in his heart. His words seem softer than oil, but they are really like sharp swords. | |
| Psal | NETtext | 55:22 | Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the godly to be upended. | |
