Psalm 94:16

A Prayer For Retribution Against Oppressors

¹⁵ For judgment will again be righteous. 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 Jehovah had not been my help, I would have been silent in death.
