Psalms 55:15-23 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

15. Let death deceive them. May they descend to Sheol alive, because evil is in their home and heart.

16. As for me, I will call to God, and Yahweh will save me.

17. Morning, noon and night I will lament and groan loudly, and he will hear my voice.

18. He safely redeems my life from the battle against me, because those standing against me are among many.

19. God will hear and answer them, he who is enthroned from of old, Selah Because they do not change, and they do not fear God.

20. He has put forth his hands against his friends; he has defiled his covenant.

21. The buttery words of his mouth were smooth, but there was battle in his heart. His words were smoother than oil, but they were drawn swords.

22. Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

23. But you, O God, you will bring them down to the pit of corruption. The men of bloodshed and deceit will not live half their days, but I will trust you.
