Psalms 94:18
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
