"They were divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart has drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and they are arrows. "
— Psalms 54:22, Catholic Public Domain Version
“They are divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart hath drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and the same are darts.”
He will redeem my soul in peace from those who draw near to me. For, among the many, they were with me.
God will hear, and He who is before time will humble them. For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God.
He has stretched forth his hand in retribution. They have contaminated his covenant.
They were divided by the wrath of his countenance, and his heart has drawn near. His words are smoother than oil, and they are arrows.
Cast your cares upon the Lord, and he will nurture you. He will not allow the just to be tossed about forever.
Truly, O God, you will lead them away into the well of death. Bloody and deceitful men will not divide their days in half. But I will hope in you, O Lord.
