Psalm 59:4b-10

Awake, come to meet me, and see! You, LORD God of hosts, are God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations; spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips-- for "Who," they think, "will hear us?" But you, O LORD, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision. O my Strength, I will watch for you, for you, O God, are my fortress. My God in his steadfast love will meet me; God will let me look in triumph on my enemies.

Lord, these disaffections that are afflicting me are emotions that the Evil One has found to impede my witness and testimony for they tarnish the reflection of Your glory to be seen in my life. Remind me, remind me, remind me -- You are my Strength, You are my fortress, You will raise me up in triumph over these foes. You are Lord of all.
