17 As for me, I will call upon God: and the Lord shall save me.

18 In the evening, and morning, and at noon-day will I pray, and

that instantly: and he shall hear my voice.

19 It is he that hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle

that was against me: for there were many with me.

20 Yea, even God, that endureth for ever, shall hear me, and bring

them down: for they will not turn, nor fear God.

21 He laid his hands upon such as be at peace with him: and he

brake his covenant.

22 The words of his mouth were softer than butter, having war in

his heart: his words were smoother than oil, and yet be they very

swords.

23 O cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee: and

shall not suffer the righteous to fall for ever.

24 And as for them: thou, O God, shalt bring them into the pit of

destruction.

25 The blood-thirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half

their days: nevertheless, my trust shall be in thee, O Lord.
