Psalms 94:19
17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
