17. Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,
18. He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
19. God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,
20. He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
21. Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
22. Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.
23. And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I--I do trust in Thee!
