But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
