Psalm 55:21-23

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

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.

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

²³But you, O God, will cast them down
into the lowest pit;
the bloodthirsty and treacherous
shall not live out half their days.
But I will trust in you.
