The one who vindicates me is close by.
Who dares to argue with me? Let us confront each other![a]
Who is my accuser?[b] Let him challenge me![c]
Look, the Sovereign Lord helps me.
Who dares to condemn me?
Look, all of them will wear out like clothes;
a moth will eat away at them.
10 Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys[d] his servant?
Whoever walks in deep darkness,[e]
without light,
should trust in the name of the Lord
and rely on his God.
