Psalm 94:16-19 Part 2 of 2

Who will protect me from the wicked?

    Who will stand up for me against evildoers?

Unless the LORD had helped me,

    I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.

I cried out, "I am slipping!"

    but your unfailing love, O LORD, supported me.

When doubts filled my mind,

    your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.

 

Unless the LORD had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.
