An early morning prayer
1I have a lot of enemies, Lord. Many fight against
2me and say, “God won't rescue you!”
3But you are my shield, and you give me victory and great honour.
4I pray to you, and you answer from your sacred hill.
5I sleep and wake up refreshed because you, Lord, protect me.
6Ten thousand enemies attack from every side, but I am not afraid.
7Come and save me, Lord God! Break my enemies' jaws and shatter their teeth,
8because you protect and bless your people.
