14For the Lord will not give up on his people; he will not abandon his own.
15Justice will once again be based on what is right; those who are sincere will support it.
16Who came to my defense against the wicked; who stood up for me against those who do evil?
17If the Lord hadn't helped me, I would have soon gone down into the silence of the grave.
18I shouted out, “My foot's slipping!” and your trustworthy love, Lord, kept me from falling.
