16 As for me, (A)I have not hurried away from being a shepherd who follows You,
Nor have I desired the woeful day;
You know what came out of my lips;
It was right there before You.
17 Do not be a terror to me;
(B)You are my hope in the day of doom.
18 (C)Let them be ashamed who persecute me,
But (D)do not let me be put to shame;
Let them be dismayed,
But do not let me be dismayed.
Bring on them the day of doom,
And (E)destroy[a] them with double destruction!
