13 O Lord, the ahope of Israel,

All who bforsake You will be put to shame.

Those who turn 1away on earth will be cwritten down,

Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even the Lord.

14 aHeal me, O Lord, and I will be healed;

bSave me and I will be saved,

For You are my cpraise.

15 Look, they keep asaying to me,

“Where is the word of the Lord?

Let it come now!”

16 But as for me, I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You,

Nor have I longed for the woeful day;

aYou Yourself know that the utterance of my lips

Was in Your presence.

17 Do not be a aterror to me;

You are my brefuge in the day of disaster.

18 Let those who persecute me be aput to shame, but as for me, blet me not be put to shame;

Let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed.

cBring on them a day of disaster,

And crush them with twofold destruction!
