Stir yourself up; stand up for my rights and my cause, my God and my Lord! Declare me innocent, O Lord, my God,according to your justice. Let them not gloat over me. Never give them reason to say, “We have trampled him down!” Let them be utterly disgraced and confounded, who exult over my calamity. |
Let them be ashamed and dishonored, who rejoice at my distress. But let them be glad and rejoice, who are in sympathy with my cause. And may they ever say, “Great is our Lord, who has justified his servant.” Then will my tongue proclaim your righteousness, and sing your praises all day long. |
Remember always that I AM the Lord who declares to all who oppose you that you are mine. It is I who vindicate you, I who fight for you, I who keep My hand of protection over you. No one can take from Me what I have declared to be Mine, and you are mine. I will stand up for you and speak on your behalf before those who declare themselves against you. I will raise you up, and I will reveal to all that it was I who heard your cry, I who comforted you, I who revealed Myself to you, I who consoled you, who came to your rescue and assured you not to be afraid, for I AM the Lord. I will destroy all who work to bring about your ruin, and all will see what I have begun to do in your life because you have stood up boldly and you have declared before all that I AM your Lord and your God, and they will marvel at the goodness of God, and they too will praise Me and glorify Me. I will stand guard over you, and no hand raised against you will prosper. Be not afraid, you are Mine now and forever.
