Psalm 55:21-23
New International Reader's Version
21 His talk is as smooth as butter.
But he has war in his heart.
His words flow like olive oil.
But they are like swords ready for battle.
22 Turn your worries over to the Lord.
He will keep you going.
He will never let godly people be shaken.
23 God, you will bring sinners
down to the grave.
Murderers and liars
won’t live out even half of their lives.
But I trust in you.
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)
