26 Help me, O Lord my God;because of your constant love, save me!
27 Make my enemies knowthat you are the one who saves me.
28 They may curse me, but you will bless me.May my persecutors be defeated,and may I, your servant, be glad.
29 May my enemies be covered with disgrace;may they wear their shame like a robe.
30 I will give loud thanks to the Lord;I will praise him in the assembly of the people,
31 because he defends the poorand saves them from those who condemn them to death.
