12
For
it was not an enemy
that reproached me; then I could have borne
it, neither
was it he that hated me
that did magnify
himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13
But
it was thou, who in my estimation was, my lord, and of my own family.
14
We took sweet counsel together
and walked unto the house of God in company.
15
Let them be condemned unto death,
and let them go down alive into Sheol for wickedness
is in their dwellings
and among them.
16
As for me, I will call upon God, and the LORD shall save me.
17
Evening and morning and at noon I will pray and cry aloud, and he shall hear my voice.
18
He has ransomed my soul in peace from the battle
that was against me, for there were many against me.
19
God shall hear and bring them down, even he that abides from of old. Selah. Because they do not change, nor do they fear God.
20
He has put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him; he has defiled 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.
22
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
