Psalm 55:17-22
English Standard Version
17 (A)Evening and (B)morning and at (C)noon
I (D)utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
18 He redeems my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for (E)many are arrayed against me.
19 God will give ear and humble them,
he who is (F)enthroned from of old, Selah
because they do not (G)change
and do not fear God.
20 My companion[a] (H)stretched out his hand against his friends;
he violated his covenant.
21 His (I)speech was (J)smooth as butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were (K)drawn swords.
22 (L)Cast your burden on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
(M)he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.
