Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt. Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.
Lord, I have sworn fealty to You. I stand under the shelter of Your wings, expecting that Your mercy and grace will keep me safe and guide me through every attack, every insidious temptation, every scornful action from and by those who despise You. Lead me in the righteousness, peace and joy that is life in Your Kingdom.
