In context

14Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.

15Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!”

16But I have not run away from being Your shepherd; I have not desired the day of despair. You know that the utterance of my lips was spoken in Your presence.

17Do not become a terror to me; You are my refuge in the day of disaster.

18Let my persecutors be put to shame, but do not let me be put to shame. Let them be terrified, but do not let me be terrified. Bring upon them the day of disaster and shatter them with double destruction.
