8. The one who vindicates me is close by.Who dares to argue with me? Let us confront each other!Who is my accuser? Let him challenge me!
9. Look, the sovereign Lord helps me.Who dares to condemn me?Look, all of them will wear out like clothes;a moth will eat away at them.
10. Who among you fears the Lord?Who obeys his servant?Whoever walks in deep darkness, without light,should trust in the name of the Lordand rely on his God.
11. Look, all of you who start a fireand who equip yourselves with flaming arrows,walk in the light of the fire you startedand among the flaming arrows you ignited!This is what you will receive from me:you will lie down in a place of pain.
