14For the Lord will not cast off his people, and his inheritance will he not forsake.
15For unto righteousness will justice return; and it shall be followed by all the upright in heart.
16Who will rise up for me against evil-doers? or who will stand forward for me against the workers of wickedness?
17Unless the Lord had been a help unto me, but a little would have been wanting that my soul had dwelt in the silence of death.
