Psalm 55David used oil and butter as similes to describe the smoothness and softness of the speech of his former friend. Those soft words were swords. The former friend betrayed him, and sought his destruction. He now casts that burden on the LORD, and trusts that the LORD will sustain him in the battle. Whatever we face, we can cast our anxieties on the LORD, because he cares for us.
LORD, here are our troubles. Please take them. They are too heavy for us.
