Psalm 55:9–10

9 Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words,

for I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they prowl about on its walls;

malice and abuse are within it.

9 Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues;

for I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go around it

on its walls,

and iniquity and trouble are within it;

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues:

For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

Mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

9 Confuse them, Lord, and frustrate their plans,

for I see violence and conflict in the city.

10 Its walls are patrolled day and night against invaders,

but the real danger is wickedness within the city.

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues,

For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go around it on its walls;

Iniquity and trouble are also in the midst of it.

9 Lord, destroy and confuse their words,

because I see violence and fighting in the city.

10 Day and night they are all around its walls,

and evil and trouble are everywhere inside.

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue;

For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof:

Iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.

9 Swallow them up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.

9 Completely confuse their language, O Lord, 

because I see violence and conflict in the city. 

10 Day and night they go around on ⸤top of⸥ the city walls. 

Trouble and misery are everywhere. 

9 Confuse, O Lord, confound their speech,

for I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go around it

on its walls,

and iniquity and trouble are within it;

9 Confuse, O Lord; divide their speech,

because I see violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go around it on its walls,

and iniquity and trouble are in its midst.

9 Lord, destroy the plans of sinners. Keep them from understanding one another.

I see people destroying things and fighting in the city.

10 Day and night they prowl around on top of its walls.

The city is full of crime and trouble.

9 Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues,

For I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go around her upon her walls,

And iniquity and mischief are in her midst.
