All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me. They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him; he will not rise again from where he lies.” Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. But You, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them! By this I know that You delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. But You have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in Your presence forever. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.
Lord, stand between me and the Evil One; be a hedge of protection around me as he seeks to tempt me, tries to assault my faith and weaken my testimony, sends his minions of anger, depression, greed, lust, covetousness, pride, and self-will to sway my faith and convince me that I cannot depend on Your promises. Through You, I can resist the devil and he will flee from me.
