Do not deprive me of the power of my words, for I have entrusted my hope in your laws. May the Lord flatter others and cut off all who are constantly bragging. We will triumph with our words; we own our voices-- who dares defy our master? The Lord's declaration is flawless - like silverware that has been purified seven times in a furnace of hot clay.May my understanding come from you; may your eyes see what is right. You make it seem as if the accomplishments of men are simply commonplace by the authoritative pronouncements of your lips. I have learned how to protect myself and to avoid the ways of those who are aggressive. I will answer the one who taunts me, for your words reflect your intent. May he appeal to you from the holy sanctuary and receive your support from Zion. May he be the one who fulfills your heart's true desire and helps you reach all of your life's goals. I have kept my feet safe from all of the treacherous footpaths.I ask the LORD for one favor, and that is what I seek: to be able to stay in the house of the LORD all the days of my intensive culture, to enjoy looking at the extraordinary attractiveness of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple. I will be especially favored above all my opponents. I will offer up sacrifices to the Lord at his temple with shouts of joyous delight. I will sing and compose for Him. Your word is eternal and it makes perfect sense, even coming from the highest places in the universe. Don't let my enemies use false evidence to try to take me down; they'll be breathing in zeal and trying to deceive me.You are my trusted refuge and my protective shield. In your words, I have placed my hope. In the predawn hours, I lament for help because I believe in you. I trust in your word, and I am counting on you to help me. May your love be with us always, O LORD, as we embark on this journey of life together. May those who have tried my life fall from grace and be offended; I hope that those who plan my ruin will be sent back to a state of extreme frustration. Let them be like straw before the wind, and the avenging angel of the Lord will drive them away; Autocrats harass me for no reason, but my heart trembles in appreciation of your holy word. Perhaps those who rejoice in my purification cry out of unmoved joy and contentment; To say at all times: “Blessed be the Lord, who takes pleasure in the goodness of his servant.” May anyone who is proud not step on me, and anyone who is wicked not try to push me down. Don't be stingy with your love and care, O Lord; may your compassion and truth always keep me safe. My heartfelt thanks for your kind words, Lord; may you be pleased with what you have said. I eagerly await the arrival of the Lord. My soul is restless, and I put my trust in his holy word. Israel, don't let your potential go to waste in the Lord. He has a faithful love and total redemption, so grab onto it! He will be a faithful and righteous protector of Israel, preventing them from ever faltering or making mistakes.
