Psalms 55:16-23

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

16As for me, I shall call upon God,

And the Lord will save me.

17Evening and morning and at noon, I will complain and moan,

And He will hear my voice.

18He will redeem my soul in peace from the battle which is against me,

For they are many who are aggressive toward me.

19God will hear and humiliate them—

Even the One who sits enthroned from ancient times

With whom there is no change,

And who do not fear God.

20He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him;

He has violated his covenant.

21His speech was smoother than butter,

But his heart was war;

His words were softer than oil,

Yet they were drawn swords.

22Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

23But You, God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction;

Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days.

But I will trust in You.
