Psalm 55:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Confuse my enemies, Lord!
    Upset their plans.
Cruelty and violence
    are all I see in the city,
¹⁰ and they are like guards
    on patrol day and night.
The city is full of trouble,
evil, ¹¹     and corruption.
Troublemakers and liars
    freely roam the streets.
