Psalms 55:20-23

20He hath put forthH7971 his handsH3027 against such as be at peaceH7965 with him: he hath brokenH2490 his covenantH1285.1

21The words of his mouthH6310 were smootherH2505 than butterH4260, but warH7128 was in his heartH3820: his wordsH1697 were softerH7401 than oilH8081, yet were they drawn swordsH6609.

22CastH7993 thy burdenH3053 upon YhwhH3068, and he shall sustainH3557 thee: he shall neverH5769 sufferH5414 the righteousH6662 to be movedH4131.2

23But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in thee.34
