I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord; Because I love thee:
2O Most High, do not thou forsake me, For thou art my hope.
3Freely I have received thy grace; I shall live thereby.
4My persecutors will come but let them not see me.
5Let a cloud of darkness fall on their eyes, And let an air of thick gloom darken them.
6And let them have no light to see, That they may take hold upon me.
7Let their counsel become thick darkness: And what they have cunningly devised, let it return upon their own heads.
8For they have devised a counsel, And it has come to nought. (Powerful as they were, they were overcome).
9They have prepared themselves maliciously, And were found to be ineffective.
10For my hope 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 garland on my head, And I shall not be moved;
13Even if everything should be shaken, I stand firm:
14And if (all) things visible should perish, I shall not die;
15Because the Lord is with me, And I am with Him. Hallelujah.
