Psalm 55:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁰My companion laid hands on a friend
    and violated a covenant with me^[a]^(A)
²¹with speech smoother than butter
    but with a heart set on war,
with words that were softer than oil
    but in fact were drawn swords.^(B)

²²Cast your burden^[b] on the Lord,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit
the righteous to be moved.^(C)
