  • Ps 7:1-9 : 1 O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all those who persecute me, and deliver me: 2 Lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him who without cause is my enemy:) 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah. 6 Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies; and awake for me to the judgment you have commanded. 7 So shall the congregation of the people surround you: for their sakes therefore return on high. 8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and minds. 10 My defense is of God, who saves the upright in heart. 11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he does not turn back, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready. 13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors. 14 Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch he made. 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own crown. 17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
  • Ps 86:1-9 : 1 Incline Your ear, O LORD, hear me, for I am poor and needy. 2 Preserve my soul, for I am devoted; O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You. 3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I cry to You daily. 4 Bring joy to the soul of Your servant, for to You, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5 For You, Lord, are good and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon You. 6 Listen, O LORD, to my prayer and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me. 8 Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord, nor are there any works like Your works. 9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name. 10 For You are great and do wondrous things; You alone are God. 11 Teach me Your way, O LORD; I will walk in Your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name. 12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore. 13 For great is Your mercy toward me, and You have delivered my soul from the depths of hell. 14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and a mob of violent men have sought my soul, and have not set You before them. 15 But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plentiful in mercy and truth. 16 Turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your maidservant. 17 Show me a sign for good, that they who hate me may see it and be ashamed, because You, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
  • Ps 90:1-9 : 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God. 3 You turn man to destruction; and say, Return, you children of men. 4 For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past, and like a watch in the night. 5 You carry them away like a flood; they are like a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which grows up. 6 In the morning it flourishes and grows up; in the evening it is cut down and withers. 7 For we are consumed by your anger, and by your wrath are we troubled. 8 You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your countenance. 9 For all our days are passed away in your wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The days of our years are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their strength is labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 11 Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath. 12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom. 13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent you concerning your servants. 14 O satisfy us early with your mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad according to the days wherein you have afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 16 Let your work appear to your servants, and your glory to their children. 17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, the work of our hands establish it.
