Psalm 55:20

Betrayal By A Friend

¹⁹ God, the One enthroned from long ago,
will hear and will humiliate themSelah
because they do not change
and do not fear God. ²⁰ My friend acts violently
against those at peace with him;
he violates his covenant.
²¹ His buttery words are smooth,
but war is in his heart.
His words are softer than oil,
but they are drawn swords.

Put Forth
