9Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.


In Context

7 I would flee far away and stay in the desert; Selah

8 I would hurry to my place of shelter, far from the tempest and storm."

9 Confuse the wicked, O Lord, confound their speech, 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.

11 Destructive forces are at work in the city; threats and lies never leave its streets.
