Psalm 94:16

A Prayer For Retribution Against Oppressors

¹⁵ For judgment will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
¹⁶ Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?
¹⁷ If the Lord had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
