14 For the Lord will not fail his people: neither will he forsake his inheritance;
15 Until righteousness turn again unto judgement: all such as are true in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up with me against the wicked: or who will take my part against the evil-doers?
17 If the Lord had not helped me: it had not failed but my soul had been put to silence.
18 But when I said, My foot hath slipt: thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 In the multitude of the sorrows that I had in my heart: thy comforts have refreshed my soul.
20 Wilt thou have any thing to do with the stool of wickedness: which imagineth mischief as a law?
21 They gather them together against the soul of the righteous: and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my refuge: and my God is the strength of my confidence.
23 He shall recompense them their wickedness, and destroy them in their own malice: yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
