14. For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15. But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16. Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17. Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19. In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.
20. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21. They assemble themselves against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22. But the LORD is my defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
