21 But misfortune shall slay the ungodly: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord delivereth the souls of his servants: and all they that put their trust in him shall not be destitute.
DAY 7 MORNING PRAYER
PSALM 35. Judica, Domine.
Plead thou my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: and fight thou against them that fight against me.
2 Lay hand upon the shield and buckler: and stand up to help me.
3 Bring forth the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion, that imagine mischief for me.
5 Let them be as the dust before the wind: and the angel of the Lord scattering them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
