- Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O LORD, And whom You teach out of Your law;
- That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
- For the LORD will not abandon His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
- For judgment will again be righteous, And all the upright in heart will follow it.
- Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
|
- If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
- If I should say, "My foot has slipped," Your lovingkindness, O LORD, will hold me up.
- When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.
- Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, One which devises mischief by decree?
- They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
|
- But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.
- He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.
