8 His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.
The God of my mercy will go before me: God will let me see my desire effected on my haters.
Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.
The Lord is my great helper: I will see my desire against my haters.
Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.
My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

Now here we have,
