17Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
18He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, Although there are many who oppose me.
19God, who is enthroned forever, Will hear, and answer them. Selah. They never change, Who don`t fear God.
20He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.
21His mouth was smooth as butter, But his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, Yet they were drawn swords.
22Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
23But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, But I will trust in you. Psalm 56 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Silent Dove in Distant Lands". A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.
