Psalm 55:21-23
Legacy Standard Bible
21 His [a]speech was (A)smoother than butter,
But his heart was war;
His words were (B)softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn (C)swords.
22 (D)Cast [b]your burden upon Yahweh and He will sustain you;
(E)He will never allow the righteous to [c](F)be shaken.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the [d](G)pit of corruption;
(H)Men of bloodshed and deceit will (I)not live out half their days.
But I will (J)trust in You.
