Psalms 55:17-23

17I will weep and cry to him, morning, noon and night. He will listen to what I say.

18I have very many enemies who attack me all the time. But God will rescue me and keep me safe.

19God has always ruled everything as king. He will listen to me, and he will punish my enemies. Selah. They refuse to change their thoughts, and they do not respect God.

20But my friend has turned against his own friends. He has not been a true friend, as he promised to be.

21He speaks a message of peace, but he is really thinking about war. His words are easy to listen to, but they hurt like sharp knives.

22Take your problems to the Lord. He will take care of you. He will never let his own people fall.

23And as for wicked people, you, God, will send them to their graves. They will go down into the deep hole of death while they are still young. That is what will happen to those cruel people, who kill and cheat others. But I will trust in you, God.
