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.
1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, ♦︎
for my soul takes refuge in you;
2 In the shadow of your wings will I take refuge ♦︎
until the storm of destruction has passed by.
3 I will call upon the Most High God, ♦︎
the God who fulfils his purpose for me.
4 He will send from heaven and save me
and rebuke those that would trample upon me; ♦︎
God will send forth his love and his faithfulness.
5 I lie in the midst of lions, ♦︎
people whose teeth are spears and arrows,
and their tongue a sharp sword.
6 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, ♦︎
and your glory over all the earth.
7 They have laid a net for my feet;
my soul is pressed down; ♦︎
they have dug a pit before me
and will fall into it themselves.
8 My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready; ♦︎
I will sing and give you praise.
9 Awake, my soul; awake, harp and lyre, ♦︎
that I may awaken the dawn.
10 I will give you thanks, O Lord, among the peoples; ♦︎
I will sing praise to you among the nations.
11 For your loving-kindness is as high as the heavens, ♦︎
and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
12 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, ♦︎
and your glory over all the earth.

7 The end of all things is near;* therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers.
8Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
9Be hospitable to one another without complaining.
10Like good stewards of the manifold grace of God, serve one another with whatever gift each of you has received.
11Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ. To him belong the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
