14Heal me, O Yahweh, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for you are my praise.

15Look, they are saying to me, “Where is the word of Yahweh? Let it come now!”

16But as for me, I did not hurry away from being a shepherd after you, and I did not desire the day of disaster; you know. What came from my lips was before your face.

17Do not be a terror to me; you are my refuge in the day of disaster.

18Let my pursuers be put to shame, but let me not be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but let me not be dismayed. Bring upon them a day of disaster, and shatter them with double destruction.
