Psalm 55:16-22

¹⁶But I call to God,

and the LORD saves me.

¹⁷Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress,

and He hears my voice.

¹⁸He redeems my soul in peace

from the battle waged against me,

even though many oppose me.

¹⁹God will hear and humiliate them —

the One enthroned for the ages— Selah

because they do not change

and they have no fear of God.

²⁰My companion attacks his friends;

he violates his covenant.

²¹His speech is smooth as butter,

but war is in his heart.

His words are softer than oil,

yet they are swords unsheathed.

²²Cast your burden upon the LORD

and He will sustain you;

He will never let the righteous be shaken.

— Psalm 55:16-22
