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.
18When I said, My foot hath slipped: thy kindness, O Lord, sustained me.
19In the multitude of my painful thoughts within me, thy consolations delight my soul.
20Can there be associated with thee the throne of destructive wickedness, which frameth mischief as a law?
