From Morning Prayer today
| Have mercy on me, O God, for my enemies are hounding me; * all day long they assault and oppress me. |
|
| 2 | They hound me all the day long; * truly there are many who fight against me, O Most High. |
| 3 | Whenever I am afraid, * I will put my trust in you. |
| 4 | In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust and will not be afraid, * for what can flesh do to me? |
| 5 | All day long they damage my cause; * their only thought is to do me evil. |
| 6 | They band together; they lie in wait; * they spy upon my footsteps; because they seek my life. |
| 7 | Shall they escape despite their wickedness? * O God, in your anger, cast down the peoples. |
| 8 | You have noted my lamentation; put my tears into your bottle; * are they not recorded in your book? |
| 9 | Whenever I call upon you, my enemies will be put to flight; * this I know, for God is on my side. |
| 10 | In God the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I trust and will not be afraid, * for what can mortals do to me? |
| 11 | I am bound by the vow I made to you, O God; * I will present to you thank-offerings; |
| 12 | For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, * that I may walk before God in the light of the living. |
