| Psalms 55:12 | In me, O God, are vows to thee, which I will pay, praises to thee: | 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 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: |
| Psalms 55:13 | Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living. | But it was thou, a man mine equal, My companion, and my familiar friend. | But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend. | But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. |
