19God who has ruled from the beginning will hear me and answer them. Selah. For they refuse to change and don't respect God.
20As for my best friend, he attacked his friends who had no quarrel with him; he broke the promises he had made to them.
21What he says is as smooth as butter, but inside he plans war; his words are as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords.
22Throw your burdens onto the Lord and he will take care of you. He will never allow those who live right to fall.
23But you, God, will bring down murderers and liars, throwing them into the pit of destruction before they have even lived half their lives. As for me, I will trust in you.
