12Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and teachest out of Thy law;
13That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14For the LORD will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance.
15For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
18If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
19When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
20Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
