21The 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.

23But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
Verse explanation
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord" is the image of handing over to God a weight too heavy to carry alone — the same idea reappears in 1 Peter 5:7, urging believers to cast all their anxiety upon God.
From the Psalms 55 study in Bible in Stories.
