"For it is not an enemy who taunts me—then I could bear it...But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend." At the heart of Psalm 55 is a betrayal. A close friend has caused the wound. Yes, in Psalm 55 the poet is surrounding by many enemies, but the betrayal of a friend is the cut that goes the deepest.
