All My Days

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Let Their Intrigues Be Their Downfall

From Psalm 5 - Regarding Liars
In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice;
    in the morning I lay my requests before you
    and wait expectantly.
 For you are not a God who is pleased with wickedness;
    with you, evil people are not welcome.
 The arrogant cannot stand
    in your presence.
You hate all who do wrong;
     you destroy those who tell lies.
The bloodthirsty and deceitful
    you, Lord, detest.

 Not a word from their mouth can be trusted;
    their heart is filled with malice.
Their throat is an open grave;    with their tongues they tell lies.
 Declare them guilty, O God!
    Let their intrigues be their downfall.
Banish them for their many sins,
    for they have rebelled against you.

But let all who take refuge in you be glad;

    let them ever sing for joy.
Spread your protection over them,
    that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
