Psalm 55:21-23
The Voice
21 Oh, how his pleasant voice is smoother than butter,
while his heart is enchanted by war.
Oh, how his words are smoother than oil,
and yet each is a sword drawn in his hand.
22 Cast your troubles upon the Eternal;
His care is unceasing!
He will not allow
His righteous to be shaken.
23 But You, O God, You will drive them
into the lowest[a] pit—
Violent, lying people
won’t live beyond their middle years.
But I place my trust in You.
Footnotes
- 55:23 Greek manuscripts read, “pit of destruction.” The idea is the grave or place of death.
