Psalms 94:16-23

16Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

17If the Lord had not helped me, I would have laid down in the silence of death.

18If I say, “My foot is slipping,” your loyal love, O Lord, supports me.

19When worries threaten to overwhelm me, your soothing touch makes me happy.

20Cruel rulers are not your allies, those who make oppressive laws.

21They conspire against the blameless, and condemn to death the innocent.

22But the Lord will protect me, and my God will shelter me.

23He will pay them back for their sin. He will destroy them because of their evil; the Lord our God will destroy them.
