“Bring together all the Jews in Susa and tell them to go without eating for my sake! Don't eat or drink for three days and nights. My servant girls and I will do the same. Then I will go in to see the king, even if it means I must die.”

|
|
Come and save me, Lord God!
Break my enemies' jaws
and shatter their teeth,
|
|
|
|
(By David.)
You, Lord, are the light
that keeps me safe.
I am not afraid of anyone.
You protect me,
and I have no fears.
|
|
|
|
Armies may surround me,
but I won't be afraid;
war may break out,
but I will trust you.
|
|
|
|
They trust in their riches
and brag about
all of their wealth.
|
|
|
|
The Lord is on my side,
and I am not afraid
of what others can do to me.
|
|
|
|
Don't fall into the trap
of being a coward—
trust the Lord,
and you will be safe.
