15 Let death take away my enemies.Let them die while they are still youngbecause evil lives with them.
16 But I will call to God for help,and the Lord will save me.
17 Morning, noon, and night I am troubled and upset,but he will listen to me.
18 Many are against me,but he keeps me safe in battle.
19 God who lives foreverwill hear me and punish them.SelahBut they will not change;they do not fear God.
20 The one who was my friend attacks his friendsand breaks his promises.
21 His words are slippery like butter,but war is in his heart.His words are smoother than oil,but they cut like knives.
