He will hear my voice.

He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,

although there are many who oppose me.

Selected verse

He raises his hands against his friends.

He has violated his covenant.

21

His mouth was smooth as butter,

but his heart was war.

His words were softer than oil,

yet they were drawn swords.

22

Cast your burden on the LORD and he will sustain you.

He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

23

But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction.

Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days,

but I will trust in you.
