¹⁵ My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

¹⁶ For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

¹⁷ He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

⁷ And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
