Psalms 55:17-23

17Morning, noon, and night I complain and groan, and he listens to my voice.

18With ⌞his⌟ peace, he will rescue my soul from the war waged against me, because there are many ⌞soldiers fighting⌟ against me.

19God will listen. The one who has sat enthroned from the beginning will deal with them. Selah They never change. They never fear God.

20⌞My best friend⌟ has betrayed his friends. He has broken his solemn promise.

21His 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.

22Turn your burdens over to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will never let the righteous person stumble.

23But you, O God, will throw ⌞wicked people⌟ into the deepest pit. Bloodthirsty and deceitful people will not live out half their days. But I will trust you.
