17Evening, and morning, and at noonday, will I complain, and moan; And he will hear my voice.
18He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me; For they were many [that strove] with me.
19God will hear, and answer them, Even he that abideth of old, Selah [The men] who have no changes, And who fear not God.
20He hath put forth his hands against such as were at peace with him: He hath profaned his covenant.
21His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war: His words were softer than oil, Yet were they drawn swords.
22Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in thee. Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician; set to Jonath elem rehokim. [A Psalm] of David. Michtam: when the Philistines took him in Gath.
