23 O cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee: and shall not suffer the righteous to fall for ever.
24 And as for them: thou, O God, shalt bring them into the pit of destruction.
25 The blood-thirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days: nevertheless, my trust shall be in thee, O Lord.
DAY 11 MORNING PRAYER
PSALM 56. Miserere met, Deus.
Be merciful unto me, O God, for man goeth about to devour me: he is daily fighting, and troubling me.
2 Mine enemies are daily in hand to swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, thou most Highest.
3 Nevertheless, though I am sometime afraid: yet put I my trust in thee.
4 I will praise God, because of his word: I have put my trust in God, and will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 They daily mistake my words: all that they imagine is to do me evil.
