Psalm 55:20-22

Good News Translation

²⁰ My former companion attacked his friends;
    he broke his promises.
²¹ His words were smoother than cream,
    but there was hatred in his heart;
his words were as soothing as oil,
    but they cut like sharp swords.

²² Leave your troubles with the Lord,
    and he will defend you;
    he never lets honest people be defeated.
