Psalms 109:28

Protection and safetyGod's presenceJoySuffering

26 Help me, O LORD my God; save me according to Your loving devotion.

27 Let them know that this is Your hand, that You, O LORD, have done it.

Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.

29 May my accusers be clothed with disgrace; may they wear their shame like a robe.

30 With my mouth I will thank the LORD profusely; I will praise Him in the presence of many.
