your vindication like the noonday sun. - Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes. - Better the little that the righteous have
than the wealth of many wicked;

of the one who delights in him. - For the Lord loves the just
and will not forsake his faithful ones.

the offspring of the wicked will perish. - All my longings lie open before you, Lord;
my sighing is not hidden from you. - Hear my prayer, Lord,
listen to my cry for help;
do not be deaf to my weeping.

a stranger, as all my ancestors were. - I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart. - Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
Bible verse of the day
Where can I go from your Spirit?Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
