17. If Yahweh had not been my help, my soul would soon have dwelt in silence.
18. When I thought, “My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O Yahweh, supported me.
19. When my troubled thoughts were many within me, your consolations cheered my soul.
20. Can there be allied with you a throne of destruction, one that forms trouble based on statute?
21. They band together against the life of the righteous, and declare the blameless guilty of blood.
22. But Yahweh has become my high stronghold, and my God has become my rock of refuge.
23. And he will repay on them their iniquity, and by their evil he will destroy them. Yahweh our God will destroy them.
