Psalms 55:16-23

Trusting God for Vindication

Psalms 55:16-23
16
But I will call on God, and ADONAI will save me.
17
Evening, morning and noon I complain and moan; but he hears my voice.
18
He redeems me and gives me peace, so that no one can come near me. For there were many who fought me.
19
God will hear and will humble them, yes, he who has sat on his throne from the start. (Selah) For they never change, and they don't fear God.
20
[My companion] attacked those who were at peace with him; he broke his solemn word.
21
What he said sounded smoother than butter, but his heart was at war. His words seemed more soothing than oil, but in fact they were sharp swords.
22
Unload your burden on ADONAI, and he will sustain you. He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
23
But you will bring them down, God, into the deepest pit. Those men, so bloodthirsty and treacherous, will not live out half their days. But for my part, [ADONAI,] I put my trust in you.
