Psalm 30 : 5-6, 14, 15-16
Free me from the snare that they have set for me. Indeed You are my protector. Into Your hands I commend my spirit; You have redeemed me, o Lord, faithful God.
I hear whispering among the crowd, rumours that frighten me from every side – their conspiracies, their schemes, their plot to take my life.
But I put my trust in You, o Lord, I said : “You are my God;” my days are in Your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, from those after my skin.
Psalm 30 : 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
How great is the goodness which You have stored for those who fear You, which You show, for all to see, to those who take refuge in You!
In the shelter of Your presence You hide them from human wiles; You keep them in Your dwelling, safe from the intrigues of wagging tongues.
Blessed be the Lord for His wonderful love! He has strengthened my heart.
I said in my fright : “I have been cut off from Your sight!” Yet when I was crying, You heard : when I called for mercy, You listened.
Love the Lord, all you His saints! The Lord preserves His faithful, but He fully requites the arrogant.
