Psalm 94:15-17

15 Judgment will again be based on righteousness,
and all the upright in heart[a] will uphold it.
16 [b]Who will stand up for me against the wicked?
Who will defend me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not come to my aid,
I would long ago have been consigned to the kingdom of silence.[c]
