Psalms 3
Psalms 3 opens with these words: “Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.” The line to keep is Psalms 3:7: “Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.” Carry the word “arise” from that verse into the rest of the day.
