Psalm 55:16-23

New International Version

¹⁶ As for me, I call to God,
    and the Lord saves me.
¹⁷ Evening,^(A) morning^(B) and noon^(C)
    I cry out in distress,
    and he hears my voice.
¹⁸ He rescues me unharmed
    from the battle waged against me,
    even though many oppose me.
¹⁹ God, who is enthroned from of old,^(D)
    who does not change—
he will hear^(E) them and humble them,
    because they have no fear of God.^(F)

²⁰ My companion attacks his friends;^(G)
    he violates his covenant.^(H)
21 His talk is smooth as butter,^(I)
    yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,^(J)
    yet they are drawn swords.^(K)

²² Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;^(L)
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.^(M)
23 But you, God, will bring down the wicked
    into the pit^(N) of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful^(O)
    will not live out half their days.^(P)

But as for me, I trust in you.^(Q)
