Passage:
14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil
and is pregnant with mischief
and gives birth to lies.
15 He makes a pit, digging it out,
and falls into the hole that he has made.
16 His mischief returns upon his own head,
and on his own skull his violence descends.
(Psalm 7:14-16)
Song:
Psalm 7 by Poor Bishop Hooper
Lyrics:
O Lord, my God
In You I take refuge
O Lord, my God
In You I take refuge
O Lord, my God
In You I take refuge
O Lord, my God
In You I take refuge
Arise, O Lord, against the wicked, stand
Wake up, my God, for the righteous, defend
Arise, O Lord, and stand up once again to the evil one
O Lord, my God
In You I take refuge
O Lord, my God
In You I take refuge
Arise, O Lord, against the wicked, stand (Arise, O Lord, against the wicked, stand)
Wake up, my God, for the righteous, defend (Wakе up, my God, for the righteous, defеnd)
Arise, O Lord, and stand up once again to the evil one (Arise, O Lord, and stand up once again to the evil one)
Arise, O Lord, against the wicked, stand (Arise, O Lord, against the wicked, stand)
Wake up, my God, for the righteous, defend (Wake up, my God, for the righteous, defend)
Arise, O Lord, and stand up once again to the evil one (Arise, O Lord, and stand up once again to the evil one)
Prayer:
Your glorious Majesty surround me,
the blessed Trinity protect me,
and the eternal Godhead preserve me.
Your unlimited mercy support me;
your loving kindness encompass me;
your favor make me to rejoice.
The eternal truth of God be my delight,
the saving knowledge of Christ strengthen me,
and the all-prevailing grace of God be sufficient for me.
May the grace of God the Father lead me,
the wisdom of God the Son be my consolation,
and the power of the Holy Spirit enlighten me.
Lord my Creator, stand by me;
my Redeemer, save me;
and my Comforter, dwell with me. Amen.
— Johann Habermann
