To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.

Step 1 is to accept that You are in control and that You will protect me from those who wish me harm. Or provide the strength to endure the onslaughts of the Evil One against one of Your saints. I must look to You and only to You secure in the knowledge that whatever I suffer, I do so for Your Namesakes
