Bible verse
May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
Psalm 71:13 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 71.
9 Do not discard me in my old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11 saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
12 Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13 May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
15 My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16 I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
