Psalm 94:16

A Prayer For Retribution Against Oppressors

¹⁵ for justice will again be righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it. ¹⁶ Who stands up for me against the wicked?
Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?
¹⁷ If the Lord had not been my helper,
I would soon rest in the silence of death.
