If you have confessed with your mouth and believed in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again to save you from your sins then you have a powerful defense... you can forgive them and freely turn it all over to God.
Should you find yourself in a situation like the ones I described above, let me encourage you to consider that God is your rock - He is your deliverer, He is your defender. Take refuge in Him, He is your salvation. Trust Him with those people, with that situation, with your hurt.
Echo David's prayer in II Samuel 22:2-4:
"He (David) said,
'The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
3 My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge;
My savior, You save me from violence.
4"I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies.' "

Remembering that Jesus was silent before his accusers is also helpful to me. If he could be silent, then we should aspire to be as well. It shows us how much different we are from the world. Your posted scripture is perfect. We can always depend on him, our defender. It may not look like what we want it to, but he is on our side. And who better to have on your side than the Lord God Almighty!
Amen! Keeping that heavenward focus enables us to see things with a better perspective.
