Psalms 55:16-22

Brenton(i) 16 (54:16) I cried to God, and the Lord hearkened to me. 17 (54:17) Evening, and morning, and at noon I will declare and make known my wants: and he shall hear my voice. 18 (54:18) He shall deliver my soul in peace from them that draw nigh to me: for they were with me in many cases. 19 (54:19) God shall hear, and bring them low, even he that has existed from eternity. Pause. For they suffer no reverse, and therefore they have not feared God. 20 (54:20) He has reached forth his hand for retribution; they have profaned his covenant. 21 (54:21) They were scattered at the anger of his countenance, and his heart drew nigh them. His words were smoother than oil, yet are they darts. 22 (54:22) Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
