    yet they are drawn swords.(C)

22 Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;(D)
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.(E)
23 But you, God, will bring down the wicked
    into the pit(F) of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful(G)
    will not live out half their days.(H)

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