I said to the Lord, “You are my God!” Listen, O Lord, to my cries for mercy! O Sovereign Lord, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle. Lord, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud. Interlude
- Psalm 140:6-8

O God my Lord, incline Your ear to my supplications. Cover my head in every battle, and restrain the plans of those who rise against You. Be the shield I cannot be for myself.
