Psalm 94:16-23

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
    Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?
¹⁷ If the Lord had not been my helper,
    I would have quickly become silent.
¹⁸ When I say that my foot is shaking,
    your gracious love, Lord, will sustain me.
¹⁹ When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming,
    your comfort encourages me.

²⁰ Will destructive national leaders,^[a]
    who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law,
        be allied with you?
²¹ They gather together against the righteous,
    condemning the innocent to death.

²² But the Lord is my stronghold,
    and my God, the rock, is my refuge.
²³ He will repay them for their sin;
    he will annihilate them because of their evil.
        The Lord our God will annihilate them.
