⁸ He who vindicates^(A) me is near.^(B)
    Who then will bring charges against me?^(C)
    Let us face each other!^(D)
Who is my accuser?
    Let him confront me!

⁹ It is the Sovereign Lord^(A) who helps^(B) me.
    Who will condemn^(C) me?
They will all wear out like a garment;
    the moths^(D) will eat them up.

¹⁷     no weapon forged against you will prevail,^(A)
    and you will refute^(B) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants^(C) of the Lord,
    and this is their vindication^(D) from me,”
declares the Lord.
