¹² If an enemy were insulting me,
    I could endure it;
if a foe were rising against me,
    I could hide.
¹³ But it is you, a man like myself,
    my companion, my close friend,^(A)
14 with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship^(B)
    at the house of God,^(C)
as we walked about
    among the worshipers.

²¹ His talk is smooth as butter,^(A)
    yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,^(B)
    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)
