Step Four- A Closer look into RSV

Micah 7:8-10 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.

I will bear the indignation of the LORD because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my cause and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I shall behold his deliverance.

Then my enemy will see, and shame will cover her who said to me, "Where is the LORD your god?: My eyes will gloat over her;  now she will be trodden down like the mire of the streets.

Psalm 86:1-7 Incline thy ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life, for I am godly; save thy servant who trust in thee. Thou are my God;

be gracious to me, O LORD, for to thee do I cry all the day.

Gladden the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, O lord, art good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on thee.

Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; hearken to my cry of supplication.

In the day of my trouble I call on thee, for thou dost answer me.

Psalm 3:1-8 O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;

many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God.  Selah

But thou, O LORD, art a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

I cry aloud to the LORD, and he answers me from his holy hill.  Selah

I lie down and asleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me.

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For thou dost smite all my enemies on the cheek, thou dost break the teeth of the wicked.

Deliverance belongs to the LORD; thy blessing be upon thy people!   Selah
