16But I call to God,
and the LORD saves me.
17Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress,
and He hears my voice.
18He redeems my soul in peace
from the battle waged against me,
even though many oppose me.
19God will hear and humiliate them —
the One enthroned for the ages— Selah
because they do not change
and they have no fear of God.
20My companion attacks his friends;
he violates his covenant.
21His speech is smooth as butter,
but war is in his heart.
His words are softer than oil,
yet they are swords unsheathed.
22Cast your burden upon the LORD
and He will sustain you;
He will never let the righteous be shaken.
— Psalm 55:16-22
