17 ¹⁴ Heal me, O Yahweh, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for you are my praise.
17 ¹⁵ Behold, they say to me,
"Where is the word of Yahweh?
Let it come!"
17 ¹⁶ I have not pressed you to send evil,
nor have I desired the day of disaster,
you know;
that which came out of my lips
was before your face.
17 ¹⁷ Be not a terror to me;
you are my refuge in the day of evil.
17 ¹⁸ Let those be put to shame who persecute me,
but let me not be put to shame;
let them be dismayed,
but let me not be dismayed;
bring upon them the day of evil;
destroy them with double destruction!
