Psalm 55:20-22
New King James Version
20 He 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.
