Psalm 55:19-21
New Living Translation

19 God, who has ruled forever,
    will hear me and humble them. Interlude
For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
    they do not fear God.

20 As for my companion, he betrayed his friends;
    he broke his promises.
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!

    because they have no fear of God.(C)

20 My companion attacks his friends;(D)
    he violates his covenant.(E)
21 His talk is smooth as butter,(F)
    yet war is in his heart;
his words are more soothing than oil,(G)
    yet they are drawn swords.(H)
