15 No, but justice will once again meet up with righteousness,and all whose heart is right will follow after.
16 Who will stand up for me against the wicked?Who will help me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord hadn’t helped me,I would live instantly in total silence.
18 Whenever I feel my foot slipping,your faithful love steadies me, Lord.
19 When my anxieties multiply,your comforting calms me down.
20 Can a wicked ruler be your ally;one who wreaks havoc by means of the law?
21 The wicked gang up against the lives of the righteous.They condemn innocent blood.
