1I praise You, O Lord, because I love You.
2O Most High, forsake me not, for You are my hope.
3Freely did I receive Your grace, may I live by it.
4My persecutors will come but let them not see me.
5Let a cloud of darkness fall upon their eyes; and let an air of thick darkness obscure them.
6And let them have no light to see, so that they cannot seize me.
7Let their designs become hardened, so that whatever they have conspired shall return upon their own heads.
8For they have devised a plan, but it was not for them.
9They prepared themselves maliciously, but they were found to be impotent.
10Indeed my confidence is upon the Lord, and I will not fear.
11And because the Lord is my salvation, I will not fear.
12And He is as a woven crown upon my head, and I shall not be shaken.
13Even if everything should be shaken, I shall stand firm.
14And though all things visible should perish, I shall not die;
15Because the Lord is with me, and I with Him.
16Hallelujah.
