Psalm 55:21–22

21 His talk is smooth as butter,

yet war is in his heart;

his words are more soothing than oil,

yet they are drawn swords.

22 Cast your cares on the Lord

and he will sustain you;

he will never let

the righteous be shaken.

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart:

His words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee:

He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

21 His words are as smooth as butter,

but in his heart is war.

His words are as soothing as lotion,

but underneath are daggers!

22 Give your burdens to the Lord,

and he will take care of you.

He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,

But war was in his heart;

His words were softer than oil,

Yet they were drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden on the Lord,

And He shall sustain you;

He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

21 His words are slippery like butter,

but war is in his heart.

His words are smoother than oil,

but they cut like knives.

22 Give your worries to the Lord,

and he will take care of you.

He will never let good people down.

21 His mouth was smooth as butter,

But his heart was war:

His words were softer than oil,

Yet were they drawn swords.

22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee:

He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

21 Smooth were the milky words of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords. 22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

21 His speech is smoother than butter, 

but there is war in his heart. 

His words are more soothing than oil, 

but they are like swords ready to attack. 

22 Turn your burdens over to the Lord, 

and he will take care of you. 

He will never let the righteous person stumble. 

21 His buttery words are smooth,

but war is in his heart.

His words are softer than oil,

but they are drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden on the Lord,

and He will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

21 with speech smoother than butter

but with a heart set on war,

with words that were softer than oil

but in fact were drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden on the Lord,

and he will sustain you;

he will never permit

the righteous to be moved.

21 The buttery words of his mouth were smooth,

but there was battle in his heart.

His words were smoother than oil,

but they were drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden on Yahweh,

and he will sustain you.

He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

21 His talk is as smooth as butter.

But he has war in his heart.

His words flow like olive oil.

But they are like swords ready for battle.

22 Turn your worries over to the Lord.

He will keep you going.

He will never let godly people fall.

21 His speech was smoother than butter,

But his heart was war;

His words were softer than oil,

Yet they were drawn swords.

22 Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
