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.
         
                                
                        19 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts  delight my soul.
         
                                
                        20 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of  perverseness by statute?
         
                                
                        21 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And  innocent blood declare wicked.
