Psalm 55:12-14

Cast Your Burden on the Lord

12 For it is not an enemy who taunts me -
then I could bear it;
it is not an adversary who t deals insolently with me -
then I could hide from him.
13 u But it is you, a man, my equal,
my companion, my familiar friend.
14 We used to take sweet counsel together;
within God's house we walked in v the throng.
