Occasional Prayers

PSALM 17
Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
(Continued from yesterday)

The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, and let the God of my salvation be exalted:

O God who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, my deliverer from my enemies.

And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.

Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing a psalm to thy name.

Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed: and to his seed for ever.
