17 If (A)the Lord had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.
18 If I should say, “(B)My foot has slipped,”
Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me.
19 When my anxious thoughts [a]multiply within me,
Your (C)comfort delights my soul.
20 Can a [b](D)throne of destruction be allied with You,
One (E)which devises [c]mischief by decree?
21 They (F)band themselves together against the [d]life of the righteous
And (G)condemn [e]the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has been my (H)refuge,
And my God the (I)rock of my refuge.
