Bálint from Hungary
December 3 at 3:48 am
Many are the foes who persecute me,
but I have not turned from your statutes.
I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.
See how I love your precepts;
preserve my life, Lord, in accordance with your love.
All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.
Rulers persecute me without cause,
but my heart trembles at your word.
I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.
I hate and detest falsehood but I love your law.
Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.
Great peace have those who love your law,
and nothing can make them stumble.
I wait for your salvation, Lord, and I follow your commands.
I obey your statutes, for I love them greatly.
I obey your precepts and your statutes,
for all my ways are known to you.
May my cry come before you, Lord;
give me understanding according to your word.
May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise.
In Jesus' name.
Amen.
