Psalm 55:21-23
New Living Translation
21 His words are as smooth as butter,
but in his heart is war.
His words are as soothing as lotion,
but underneath are daggers!
22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
23 But you, O God, will send the wicked
down to the pit of destruction.
Murderers and liars will die young,
but I am trusting you to save me.
Psalm 55:21-23
New International Version
21 His talk is smooth as butter,(A)
yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,(B)
yet they are drawn swords.(C)
22 Cast your cares on the Lord
and he will sustain you;(D)
he will never let
the righteous be shaken.(E)
23 But you, God, will bring down the wicked
into the pit(F) of decay;
the bloodthirsty and deceitful(G)
will not live out half their days.(H)
But as for me, I trust in you.(I)
