Psalm 94:19
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
