Psalm 55:20-22

Contemporary English Version

²⁰ My friend turned against me
    and broke his promise.
²¹ His words were smoother
than butter, and softer
    than olive oil.
But hatred filled his heart,
and he was ready to attack
    with a sword.

²² Our Lord, we belong to you.
We tell you what worries us,
    and you won't let us fall.
