Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statute? They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge. He will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out for their wickedness; the LORD our God will wipe them out.

You are my stronghold, You are the One for whom I can join with Job in declaring, “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.” The hope that lies within me that Your return is immanent.
