21 His words are ·slippery like [L smoother than] butter,
    but war is in his heart.
His words are ·smoother [softer] than oil,
    but they cut like ·knives [unsheathed swords; Prov. 5:3–4].

22 ·Give [L Cast; Throw] your ·worries [burden; L that which he has given you] to the Lord,
    and he will ·take care of [sustain] you.
    He will never let ·good [righteous] people ·down [L be moved].
23 But, God, you will bring down
    the wicked to the ·grave [deepest pit; L pit of corruption].
Murderers and ·liars [deceivers] will ·live
    only half a lifetime [L not live half their days].
But I will ·trust [have confidence] in you.
