17 ¹⁴ Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed;
save me, and I shall be saved;
for thou art my praise.
17 ¹⁵ Behold, they say to me,
"Where is the word of the LORD?
Let it come!"
17 ¹⁶ I have not pressed thee to send evil,
nor have I desired the day of disaster,
thou knowest;
that which came out of my lips
was before thy face.
17 ¹⁷ Be not a terror to me;
thou art 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!
