Psalms 55:13-22

¹³(55-14) But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;

¹⁴(55-15) We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.

¹⁵(55-16) May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them.

¹⁶(55-17) As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

¹⁷(55-18) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.

¹⁸(55-19) He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.

¹⁹(55-20) God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, Selah, such as have no changes, and fear not God.

²⁰(55-21) He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.

²¹(55-22) Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.

²²(55-23) Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
