⁷ The Lord God will help Me;
therefore I have not been humiliated;
therefore I have set My face like flint,^(A)
and I know I will not be put to shame.

⁸ The One who vindicates Me is near;^(A)
who will contend with Me?
Let us confront each other.^[a]
Who has a case against Me?^[b]
Let him come near Me!
