Turn back the evil upon my foes; in your faithfulness, destroy them.
The angel who has delivered me from all harm, bless these boys That in them my name be recalled, and the names of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, And they may become teeming multitudes upon the earth!”
But David replied to Rechab and his brother Baanah, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite: “As the Lord lives, who rescued me from every distress:
His heart is tranquil, without fear, till at last he looks down on his foes.
The Lord is with me as my helper; I shall look in triumph on my foes.
In your mercy put an end to my foes; all those who are oppressing my soul, for I am your servant.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.
Look to him and be radiant, and your faces may not blush for shame.
Wait eagerly for the Lord, and keep his way; He will raise you up to inherit the earth; you will see when the wicked are cut off.
My strength, for you I watch; you, God, are my fortress,
You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see.
You have given me the strength of a wild ox; you have poured rich oil upon me.
The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen. Final Greeting.
Just as I regarded your life as precious today, so may the Lord regard my life as precious and deliver me from all dangers.”
