Psalm 55 — Psalms 55:18–23

He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me;
For they were many that strove with me.

God will hear, and answer them,
Even he that abideth of old,
[Selah
The men who have no changes,
And who fear not God.

He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him:
He hath profaned his covenant.

His mouth was smooth as butter,
But his heart was war:
His words were softer than oil,
Yet were they drawn swords.

Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee:
He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.

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