 I am the one who has delivered you from the oppression of Egypt. I will give you a big mouthful of my delicious food. When you listen to the plaintive cries of the hurt, Lord, you encourage them and vindicate the fatherless and the crushed, ensuring that mankind will no longer be afraid.But the wicked man, pursuing the weak with his cunning schemes, brags about his ability to feel pain intensely and calls the Lord an "eager eater." I thank you for hearing and answering the cries of the hurt. His mouth is full of angry words and deceit. He is skilled at stirring up trouble and causing mischief. You probe my heart at dusk, and I let you see what is there; I have decided that my words will not falter. After hearing your declaration of my abilities, I have been able to avoid the dangers of those who would try to attack me. The person on the other end of the line abruptly ended their call, without saying goodbye.I, on the other hand, am grateful for their kindness, and I'll be coming over to their house to express my thanks. Please open my lips so I can sing your praises loud and clear. Your words of praise echo in my mouth all day long, showcasing your radiant beauty in every sentence. Please don't send me away when I am ready to be independent; don't abandon me when I can no longer do things on my own. For my enemies to denounce me is one thing, but to work together to try and kill me is something quite different. Lord, help me to avoid people who are caught up in this life, people who will receive only this life's rewards. With my mouth, I will proclaim the greatness of the Lord all day long, even though I don't understand all its depth.I will acclaim him in the vast throng, because he is trustworthy and always delivers. With my lips, I recount all of the laws that surely come from your mouth. May all the rulers of the earth be drawn to the words of your mouth, LORD. When they listen to you, they will be astounded and grateful. Yet my spell is always against the exploits of the wicked; (They will say:) As one digs and breaks up the soil in the garden, they discover scattered bones at the entrance to an old, forgotten grave. I will defeat anyone who challenges me, and anyone who desires to bring me down will be humiliated and disgraced. May those who look at me be filled with wonder. I was getting a little frustrated with the search, but then I found the key under a pile of books on the floor.It was a bit of a hassle, but I was finally able to get it. I finally found the key to unlocking my happiness! Their own embarrassment appalled me. I implore you, God, to listen to me; please help me to understand what they are feeling. You are renowned for your unending love and compassion, which helps those who seek refuge in you from their enemies.Please protect me as if I were the most precious thing in your life, and cover me in the safety of your wings.
