Daytime Prayer, Wednesday 12 June 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 55:2-15, 17-24
Against a friend proved traitor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this had been done by an enemy *
I could bear his taunts.
If a rival had risen against me, *
I could hide from him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is you, my own companion, *
my intimate friend!
How close was the friendship between us. \u2020
We walked together in harmony *
in the house of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for me, I will cry to God *
and the Lord will save me.
Evening, morning and at noon *
I will cry and lament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He will deliver my soul in peace *
in the attack against me:
for those who fight me are many, *
but he hears my voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God will hear and will humble them, *
the eternal judge:
for they will not amend their ways. *
They have no fear of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traitor has turned against his friends; *
he has broken his word.
His speech is softer than butter, *
but war is in his heart.
His words are smoother than oil, *
but they are naked swords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entrust your cares to the Lord *
and he will support you.
He will never allow *
the just man to stumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you, O God, will bring them down *
to the pit of death.
Deceitful and bloodthirsty men *
shall not live half their days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Lord, I will trust in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":10411,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nfor they will not amend their ways - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/for-they-will-not-amend-their-ways\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"for they will not amend their ways - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Daytime Prayer, Wednesday 12 June 2024 Psalm 55:2-15, 17-24Against a friend proved traitor II If this had been done by an enemy *I could bear his taunts.If a rival had risen against me, *I could hide from him.
