14
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my praise.
15
See how they say to me, "Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come!"
16
But I have not run away from being a shepherd a in your service, nor have I desired the fatal day. You know what came from my lips; it was before your face.
17
Do not become a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster;
18
Let my persecutors be shamed, but do not let me be shamed; let them be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed; bring on them the day of disaster; destroy them with double destruction!
