Nor speak anymore in His name.”
But His word was in my heart like a aburning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back,
And bI could not.
“Fear on every side!”
“Report,” they say, “and we will report it!”
bAll my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying,
“Perhaps he can be induced;
Then we will prevail against him,
And we will take our revenge on him.”
Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not bprevail.
They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper.
Their ceverlasting confusion will never be forgotten.
You who atest the righteous,
And see the1 mind and heart,
bLet me see Your vengeance on them;
For I have pleaded my cause before You.
For aHe has delivered the life of the poor
From the hand of evildoers.
Who brought news to my father, saying,
“A male child has been born to you!”
Making him very glad.
