Psalms 55:17-23

17Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan, and he hears my voice.

18He redeems my soul in safety from the battle that I wage, for many are arrayed against me.

19God will give ear and humble them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah because they do not change and do not fear God.

20My companion stretched out his hand against his friends; he violated his covenant.

21His speech was smooth as butter, yet war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

22Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

23But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you.
