For You have been a refuge for the poor,a stronghold for the needy in distress,a refuge from the storm,a shade from the heat.For the breath of the ruthlessis like rain against a wall,
For the ruthless will vanish,the mockers will disappear,and all who look for evilwill be cut down—
But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior.Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail.Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame,with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.
