12 Blessed are those whom you chasten, O Lord, ♦︎
whom you instruct from your law;
13 That you may give them rest in days of adversity, ♦︎
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not fail his people, ♦︎
neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 For justice shall return to the righteous, ♦︎
and all that are true of heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? ♦︎
Who will take my part against the evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not helped me, ♦︎
my soul would soon have been put to silence.
18 And when I said, ‘My foot has slipped’, ♦︎
your loving mercy, O Lord, upheld me.
