17. Evening and morning and at noonI will pray, and cry aloud,And He shall hear my voice.
18. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,For there were many against me.
19. God will hear, and afflict them,Even He who abides from of old.SelahBecause they do not change,Therefore they do not fear God.
20. He has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him;He has broken his covenant.
21. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,But war was in his heart;His words were softer than oil,Yet they were drawn swords.
