12. Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.
13. That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
14. For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
15. Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
16. Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
17. Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
18. If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
19. According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
20. Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
21. They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
