14May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.


In Context

11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, O Lord ; may your love and your truth always protect me.

12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord , to save me; O Lord , come quickly to help me.

14 May all who seek to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

15 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be appalled at their own shame.

16 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "The Lord be exalted!"
