1I thank you, O Lord, because I love you.
2O Most High, do not abandon me, for you are my hope.
3Freely I received your grace; I shall live by it.
4My persecutors will come upon me, but they shall not see me.
5A cloud of darkness shall fall upon their eyes.
6And a mist of darkness shall obscure them.
7And they shall have no light to see, and they shall not be able to catch me.
