Psalm 94:16

A Prayer For Retribution Against Oppressors

¹⁵ for justice will return to the 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 lived in the land of silence.
