13. I have heard many insults.Terror is all around me.They make plans against me.They want to kill me.
14. Lord, I trust you.I have said, “You are my God.”
15. My life is in your hands.Save me from my enemies’ grasp.Save me from those who are chasing me.
16. Show your kindness to me, your servant.Save me because of your love.
17. Lord, I called to you.So do not let me be disgraced.Let the wicked be disgraced.Let them lie silent in the grave.
18. With pride and hatredthey speak against the righteous.So shut their lying lips.
19. How great is your goodness!You have stored it up for those who fear you.You do good things for those who trust you.You do this for all to see.
20. You protect them by your presencefrom what people plan against them.You keep them safe in your shelterfrom evil words.
21. Praise the Lord.His love to me was wonderfulwhen my city was attacked.
22. In my distress, I said,“God cannot see me!”But you heard my prayerwhen I cried out to you for help.
23. Love the Lord, all you who belong to him.The Lord protects those who truly believe.But he punishes the proud as much as they have sinned.
24. All you who put your hope in the Lordbe strong and brave.
