13. I hear the crowds whisper,“Everyone is afraid!”They are plotting and schemingto murder me.
14. But I trust you, Lord,and I claim you as my God.
15. My life is in your hands.Save me from enemieswho hunt me down.
16. Smile on me, your servant.Have pity and rescue me.
17. I pray only to you.Don't disappoint me.Disappoint my cruel enemiesuntil they lie silentin their graves.
18. Silence those proud liars!Make them stop boastingand insulting your people.
19. You are wonderful,and while everyone watches,you store up blessings for allwho honour and trust you.
20. You are their shelterfrom harmful plots,and you are their protectionfrom vicious gossip.
