18. When I said, “My foot slips,”Your mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19. When there is a multitude of worries within me,Your comforts delight my soul.
20. Shall wicked rulers, who make oppressive laws,align with You?
21. They conspire together against the life of the righteousand condemn innocent blood to death.
22. But the Lord is my defense,and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23. He shall bring upon them their own iniquityand shall cut them off for their own wickedness;yes, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
