Though I walk in the midst of afflictions, you will grant me life [away] from the anger of the enemy. You stretched forth your hand, and your right hand saved me; and the Lord shall recompense on my behalf. Lord, your mercy is forever; do not overlook the works of your hands. God, save me by your name, and by your power vindicate me. God, hear my prayers; give ear to the words of my mouth. Strangers have risen up against me, and the mighty have sought after my soul, and they have not set you, God, before them. Behold, God is my helper, and the Lord is the upholder of my soul. In turning back evil upon my enemies, destroy them by your truth. Of my own free will I will offer sacrifices to you, and I will give thanks to your name, Lord, for it is good. You have delivered me from all my afflictions, and my eye has looked upon my enemies. Glory to the Father and to the Son [and to the Holy Spirit]. Now and always and [unto the ages of ages. Amen].
