Psalms 55:20-23

20He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.1

21The 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.

22Cast thy burden upon Yhwh, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.2

23But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.34
