If the Lord had not helped me, I would have laid down in the silence of death.
The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death.
“You aggressively attacked me and tried to knock me down, but the Lord helped me.
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion; it cannot be upended and will endure forever.
Look at me! Answer me, O Lord my God! Revive me, or else I will die!
O Lord, do not let me be humiliated, for I call out to you! May evil men be humiliated! May they go wailing to the grave!
Look, a time is coming – and has come – when you will be scattered, each one to his own home, and I will be left alone. Yet I am not alone, because my Father is with me.
