6. I let them beat my backand pull out my beard.I didn't turn asidewhen they insulted meand spat in my face.
7. But the Lord God keeps mefrom being disgraced.So I refuse to give up,because I knowGod will never let me down.
8. My protector is nearby;no one can stand hereto accuse me of wrong.
9. The Lord God will help meand prove I am innocent.My accusers will wear outlike moth-eaten clothes.
10. None of you respect the Lordor obey his servant.You walk in the darkinstead of the light;you don't trust the nameof the Lord your God.
