Psalms 55:14-21

¹⁴We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

¹⁵Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling.

¹⁶As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.

¹⁷Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

¹⁸He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

¹⁹God, who is enthroned forever, will hear and answer them. Selah. They never change and don’t fear God.

²⁰He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.

²¹His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
