16. As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord will save me.
17. Evening and morning and at noon will I utter my complaint and moan and sigh, and He will hear my voice.
18. He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me [so that none came near me], for they were many who strove with me.
19. God will hear and humble them, even He Who abides of old–Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!–because in them there has been no change [of heart], and they do not fear, revere, and worship God.
20. [My companion] has put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him; he has broken and profaned his agreement [of friendship and loyalty].
