19. God, the one who has reigned as king from long ago,will hear and humiliate them. (Selah)They refuse to change,and do not fear God.
20. He attacks his friends;he breaks his solemn promises to them.
21. His words are as smooth as butter,but he harbors animosity in his heart.His words seem softer than oil,but they are really like sharp swords.
22. Throw your burden upon the Lord,and he will sustain you.He will never allow the godly to be upended.
23. But you, O God, will bring them down to the deep Pit.Violent and deceitful people will not live even half a normal lifespan.But as for me, I trust in you.
