12 O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah,  And out of Thy law teachest him,
         
                                
                        13 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is  digged for the wicked.
         
                                
                        14 For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance  forsaketh not.
         
                                
                        15 For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it  all the upright of heart,
         
                                
                        16 Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth  himself for me with workers of iniquity?
         
                                
                        17 Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost  inhabited silence.
         
                                
                        18 If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,` Thy kindness, O  Jehovah, supporteth me.
