Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me! Let those be put to shame and disappointed altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt! Let those be appalled because of their shame who say to me, "Aha, Aha!" But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation say continually, "Great is the LORD!"

Lord, thank You for the many around me who are quick to acknowledge Your greatness, whose speech is filled with praises and the awareness of Your goodness. What an encouragement to be with friends who prepare me for ministry to those who do not acknowledge You or who seek destroy those who love and honor You. Praise You, Lord.
