²⁰ My companion^{[a] (C)}stretched out his hand against his friends;
    he violated his covenant.
²¹ His ^(D)speech was ^(E)smooth as butter,
    yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
    yet they were ^(F)drawn swords.

²³ But you, O God, ^(A)will cast them down
    into ^(B)the pit of destruction;
men of ^(C)blood and treachery
    shall not ^(D)live out half their days.
But I will ^(E)trust in you.
