Psalm 55:20-22

New King James Version

²⁰He has ^(A)put forth his hands against those who ^(B)were at peace with him;
He has broken his ^[a]covenant.
²¹^(C)The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.

²²^(D)Cast your burden on the Lord,
And ^(E)He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the righteous to be ^[b]moved.
