⁷ But the Lord God helps me;
    therefore I have not been disgraced;
^(A)therefore I have set my face like a flint,
    and I know that I shall not be put to shame.
^{8     (B)}He who vindicates me is near.
Who will contend with me?
    Let us stand up together.
Who is my adversary?
    Let him come near to me.
