16. Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17. Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
18. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.

20. Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
21. They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
