If the Lord had not been my help, 
My soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence. 
If I should say, “My foot has slipped,” 
Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me. 
When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, 
Your comfort delights my soul. 
Can a throne of destruction be allied with You, 
One which devises mischief by decree? 
They band themselves together against the life of the righteous 
And condemn the innocent to death. 
But the Lord has been my refuge, 
And my God the rock of my refuge.  Psalm 94:17-22 (NASB)
