Tehillim 55:6-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. (7) And I said, Oh that I had wings like a yonah! For then would I fly away and be at rest.

7. (8) Hinei, then would I flee far off and lodge in the midbar. Selah.

8. (9) I would hasten to my place of shelter from the ruach so'ah (wind of the tempest) and storm.

9. (10) Destroy, Adonoi, and confuse their leshon; for I see chamas (violence) and riv (strife) in the Ir (city, i.e., Jerusalem).

10. (11) Yomam and lailah they go about her [Yerushalayim] upon the chomot thereof; aven also and amal are in the midst of her [Yerushalayim].

11. (12) Ruin is in the midst thereof; oppression and mirmah (guile, fraud, deceit) depart not from her rechov.

12. (13) For it was not an oyev (enemy) that reproached me; then I could bear it; neither was it he that had sinah (hatred) for me that did exalt himself against me; then I could have hid myself from him;

13. (14) But it was thou, an enosh (a man) equally [valued with myself], my aluf (intimate, friend), and me'yuda'i (deep acquaintance, familiar friend, see Psalm 41:9)

14. (15) Together we took sweet sod (intimate conversation, fellowship, counsel), and walked unto the Beis Elohim with the throng.
