Psalm 55:16–23
and the Lord saves me.
17 Evening,t morningu and noonv
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.
19 God, who is enthroned from of old,w
who does not change—
he will hearx them and humble them,
because they have no fear of God.y
20 My companion attacks his friends;z
he violates his covenant.a
21 His talk is smooth as butter,b
yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,c
yet they are drawn swords.d
22 Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;e
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.f
23 But you, God, will bring down the wicked
into the pitg of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitfulh
will not live out half their days.i
But as for me, I trust in you.j
