Psalms 55:20-23 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Here is another view of the enemies of David; and still more so of the enemies of David's Lord. How smooth were the words of Judas when he said, Hail, Master! and kissed him. But how was the prophecy fulfilled in his end, as a bloody and deceitful man?

Psalms 55:20-23

20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath brokend his covenant.

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

22 Cast thy burdene upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloodyf and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
