Psalms 55:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 55:18

16 As for me, I will call upon God,
And the Lord shall save me.

17 ^aEvening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.

18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For ^athere were many against me.

19 God will hear, and afflict them,
^aEven He who abides from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
Therefore they do not fear God.

20 He has ^aput forth his hands against those who ^bwere at peace with him;
He has broken his¹ covenant.

21 ^aThe words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
But war was in his heart;
His words were softer than oil,
Yet they were drawn swords.
