¹⁸ If I should say, “^(A)My foot has slipped,”
Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me.
¹⁹ When my anxious thoughts ^[a]multiply within me,
Your ^(B)comfort delights my soul.
²⁰ Can a ^[b](C)throne of destruction be allied with You,
One ^(D)which devises ^[c]mischief by decree?
²¹ They ^(E)band themselves together against the ^[d]life of the righteous
And ^(F)condemn ^[e]the innocent to death.
²² But the Lord has been my ^(G)refuge,
And my God the ^(H)rock of my refuge.
