20 He has put forth his hands against (A)those who were at peace with him;
He has [a](B)violated his covenant.
21 His [b]speech was (C)smoother than butter,
But his heart was war;
His words were (D)softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn (E)swords.

22 (F)Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;
(G)He will never allow the righteous to [c](H)be shaken.
