14. But I trust in you, O Lord!I declare, “You are my God!”
15. You determine my destiny!Rescue me from the power of my enemies and those who chase me.
16. Smile on your servant!Deliver me because of your faithfulness!
17. O Lord, do not let me be humiliated,for I call out to you!May evil men be humiliated!May they go wailing to the grave!
18. May lying lips be silenced – lips that speak defiantly against the innocentwith arrogance and contempt!
