Psalm 55:16-23
16 As for me, I shall call upon God, And Yahweh will save me.
17 Evening and morning and at noon, I will bring my complaint and moan, And He will hear my voice.
18 He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me, For they are many who strive with me.
19 God will hear and answer them— Even the one who sits enthroned from of old— Selah. Because they do not change, And do not fear God.
20 My companion has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; He has violated his covenant.
21 His speech was smoother than butter, But his heart was war; His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden upon Yahweh and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of corruption; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
