Prayer for Deliverance.
AVindicate me, O God, and Bplead my case against an ungodly nation;
1O deliver me from Cthe deceitful and unjust man!
For You are the AGod of my strength; why have You Brejected me?
Why do I go Cmourning 1because of the oppression of the enemy?
 
O send out Your Alight and Your truth, let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your Bholy hill
And to Your Cdwelling places.
Then I will go to Athe altar of God,
To God 1my exceeding Bjoy;
And upon the Clyre I shall praise You, O God, my God.
 
AWhy are you 1in despair, O my soul?
And why are you disturbed within me?
2Hope in God, for I shall 3again praise Him,
The 4help of my countenance and my God.
