My God of mercy shall come to meet me;God shall let me see my desire on my enemies.

My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long;For they are confounded,For they are brought to shameWho seek my hurt.

You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies;For they are ever with me.
