1 I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, because I love thee; (ODE) 2 O Most High, thou wilt not forsake me, for thou art my hope: (ODE) 3 Freely I have received thy grace, I shall live thereby: (ODE) 4 My persecutors will come and not see me: (ODE) 5 A cloud of darkness shall fall on their eyes; and an air of thick gloom shall darken them: (ODE) 6 And they shall have no light to see: they may not take hold upon me. (ODE) 7 Let their counsel become thick darkness, and what I have cunningly devised, let it return upon their own heads: (ODE) 8 For they have devised a counsel, and it did not succeed: (ODE) 9 For my hope is upon the Lord, and I will not fear, and because the Lord is my salvation, I will not fear: (ODE) 10 And He is as a garland on my head and I shall not be moved; even if everything should be shaken, I stand firm; (ODE) 11 And if all things visible should perish, I shall not die; because the Lord is with me and I am with Him. Hallelujah. (ODE)
