15 He will again judge people in keeping with what is right. All those who have honest hearts will follow the right way.
16 Who will rise up for me against sinful people? Who will stand up for me against those who do evil?
17 Suppose the Lord had not helped me. Then I would soon have been lying quietly in the grave.
18 I said, "My foot is slipping." But Lord, your love kept me from falling.
19 I was very worried. But your comfort brought joy to my heart.
20 Can you have anything to do with rulers who aren't fair? Can those who make laws that cause suffering be friends of yours?
21 They join together against those who do what is right. They sentence to death those who aren't guilty of doing anything wrong.
