1 Save me, O God, by your name ♦︎
and vindicate me by your power.
2 Hear my prayer, O God; ♦︎
give heed to the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers have risen up against me,
and the ruthless seek after my life; ♦︎
they have not set God before them.
4 Behold, God is my helper; ♦︎
it is the Lord who upholds my life.
5 May evil rebound on those who lie in wait for me; ♦︎
destroy them in your faithfulness.
6 An offering of a free heart will I give you ♦︎
and praise your name, O Lord, for it is gracious.
7 For he has delivered me out of all my trouble, ♦︎
and my eye has seen the downfall of my enemies.
1 Have mercy on me, O God, for they trample over me; ♦︎
all day long they assault and oppress me.
2 My adversaries trample over me all the day long; ♦︎
many are they that make proud war against me.
3 In the day of my fear I put my trust in you, ♦︎
in God whose word I praise.
4 In God I trust, and will not fear, ♦︎
for what can flesh do to me?
5 All day long they wound me with words; ♦︎
their every thought is to do me evil.
6 They stir up trouble; they lie in wait; ♦︎
marking my steps, they seek my life.
7 Shall they escape for all their wickedness? ♦︎
In anger, O God, cast the peoples down.
8 You have counted up my groaning;
put my tears into your bottle; ♦︎
are they not written in your book?
9 Then shall my enemies turn back
on the day when I call upon you; ♦︎
this I know, for God is on my side.
10 In God whose word I praise,
in the Lord whose word I praise, ♦︎
in God I trust and will not fear:
what can flesh do to me?
11 To you, O God, will I fulfil my vows; ♦︎
to you will I present my offerings of thanks,
12 For you will deliver my soul from death
and my feet from falling, ♦︎
that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

8We want you to know, brothers and sisters,* about the grace of God that has been granted to the churches of Macedonia; 2for during a severe ordeal of affliction, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. 3For, as I can testify, they voluntarily gave according to their means, and even beyond their means, 4begging us earnestly for the privilege* of sharing in this ministry to the saints 5and this, not merely as we expected; they gave themselves first to the Lord and, by the will of God, to us, 6so that we might urge Titus that, as he had already made a beginning, so he should also complete this generous undertaking* among you. 7Now as you excel in everythingin faith, in speech, in knowledge, in utmost eagerness, and in our love for you*so we want you to excel also in this generous undertaking.*
