Much needing, today and in the increasingly dangerous near future.
But I call upon God; and the LORD will save me.
Evening and morning and at noon
I utter my complaint and moan,
and he will hear my voice.
He will deliver my soul in safety
from the battle that I wage,
for many are arrayed against me.
God will give ear, and humble them,
he who is enthroned from of old;
because they keep no law, and do not fear God.
My companion stretched out his hand against his friends,
he violated his covenant.
His speech was smoother than butter,
yet war was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords.
Cast your burden on the LORD,
and he will sustain you;
he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
But thou, O God,
wilt cast them down into the lowest pit;
men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days.
But I will trust in thee.
