Psalm 55:16–23

16  As for me, I will call upon God;

And the Lord shall save me.

17  uEvening, and morning, and wat noon, will I xpray, and xcry aloud:

And he shall hear my voice.

18  He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me:

For there were ymany zwith me.

19  God shall hear, and afflict them,

Even he that abideth aof old. Selah.

||Because they have no bchanges,

Therefore they fear not God.

20  He hath put forth his hands against csuch as be at peace with him:

†He hath broken his covenant.

21  dThe words of his mouth ewere smoother than butter, but war was in his heart:

eHis words were softer than oil, efyet were they drawn swords.

22  gCast thy ||burden upon the Lord, and he shall hsustain thee:

He shall never suffer the righteous ito be moved.

23  But thou, O God, jshalt bring them down into kthe pit of destruction:

†Bloody and deceitful men †lshall not live out half their days;

But mI will trust in thee.
