16 We took sweet counsel together ♦︎
and walked with the multitude in the house of God.
17 Let death come suddenly upon them;
let them go down alive to the Pit; ♦︎
for wickedness inhabits their dwellings, their very hearts.
18 As for me, I will call upon God ♦︎
and the Lord will deliver me.
19 In the evening and morning and at noonday
I will pray and make my supplication, ♦︎
and he shall hear my voice.
20 He shall redeem my soul in peace
from the battle waged against me, ♦︎
for many have come upon me.
21 God, who is enthroned of old,
will hear and bring them down; ♦︎
they will not repent, for they have no fear of God.
22 My companion stretched out his hands against his friend ♦︎
and has broken his covenant;
23 His speech was softer than butter, though war was in his heart; ♦︎
his words were smoother than oil, yet are they naked swords.
