21. He has stretched forth his hand in retribution. They have contaminated his covenant.
22. They were divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart has drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and they are arrows.
23. Cast your cares upon the Lord, and he will nurture you. He will not allow the just to be tossed about forever.
24. Truly, O God, you will lead them away into the well of death. Bloody and deceitful men will not divide their days in half. But I will hope in you, O Lord.
