Psalms 55:12-13

Context

55:12 Indeed, 1  it is not an enemy who insults me,

or else I could bear it;

it is not one who hates me who arrogantly taunts me, 2 

or else I could hide from him.

55:13 But it is you, 3  a man like me, 4 

my close friend in whom I confided. 5 

1 tn Or “for.”

2 tn Heb “[who] magnifies against me.” See Pss 35:26; 38:16.

3 sn It is you. The psalmist addresses the apparent ringleader of the opposition, an individual who was once his friend.

4 tn Heb “a man according to my value,” i.e., “a person such as I.”

5 tn Heb “my close friend, one known by me.”
