Psalm 55:20 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 55.

16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.

17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.

18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.

19 God will hear and humiliate them—the One enthroned for the ages—Selah because they do not change and they have no fear of God.

20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.

21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.

22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
