20 My companion[a] (A)stretched out his hand against his friends;
    he violated his covenant.
21 His (B)speech was (C)smooth as butter,
    yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
    yet they were (D)drawn swords.

22 (E)Cast your burden on the Lord,
    and he will sustain you;
(F)he will never permit
    the righteous to be moved.
