²¹ He speaks a message of peace,
    but he is really thinking about war.
His words are easy to listen to,
    but they hurt like sharp knives.
²² Take your problems to the Lord.
    He will take care of you.
He will never let his own people fall.^[a]
23 And as for wicked people,
    you, God, will send them to their graves.
They will go down into the deep hole of death
    while they are still young.
That is what will happen to those cruel people,
    who kill and cheat others.
But I will trust in you, God.
