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.
22. But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
23. And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy them.
