9 I will celebrate and be joyfulbecause you, Lord,have saved me.
10 Every bone in my bodywill shout:“No one is like the Lord!”You protect the helplessfrom those in power;you save the poor and needyfrom those who hurt them.
11 Liars accuse me of crimesI know nothing about.
12 They repay evil for good,and I feel all alone.
13 When they were sick,I wore sackclothand went without food.I truly prayed for them,
14 as I would for a friendor a relative.I was in sorrow and mourned,as I would for my mother.
15 I have stumbled,and worthless liarsI don't even knowsurround me and sneer.
