Heal me, O
save me, and I shall be saved;
for you are my praise.
15
See how they say to me,
"Where is the word of the
Let it come!"
16
But I have not run away from being a shepherd 1 in your service,
nor have I desired the fatal day.
You know what came from my lips;
it was before your face.
17
Do not become a terror to me;
you are my refuge in the day of disaster;
18
Let my persecutors be shamed,
but do not let me be shamed;
let them be dismayed,
but do not let me be dismayed;
bring on them the day of disaster;
destroy them with double destruction!
