    your compassion from me;
May your mercy and your faithfulness
    continually protect me.(A)

    those who desire my ruin.(D)
16 Let those who say to me “Aha!”(E)

17 While those who seek you
    rejoice and be glad in you.
May those who long for your salvation
    always say, “The Lord is great.”(F)
