16 Who stands up for me against the wicked?

Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?l

17 If the Lord had not been my helper,

I would soon rest in the silence of death.m

18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,”

your faithful love will support me, Lord.n

19 When I am filled with cares,

your comfort brings me joy.o

20 Can a corrupt throne be your ally,

a throne that makes evil laws?p
