Psalm 55:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 He [a]laid his hand upon such as be at peace with him, and he brake his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were softer than butter, yet war was in his heart, his words were more gentle than oil, yet they were swords.
22 Cast thy [b]burden upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee: he will not suffer the righteous to fall [c]forever.
