When they were surrounding Your servant, they were really surrounding You.

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for always being there for me even when I feel surrounded by my enemies. Unbeknownst to them, when they were surrounding Your servant, they were really surrounding You. 
All praise, honor, glory, and thanks be to You, my LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ.

PSALM 30
1 I will praise you, Lord!
    You saved me from the grave
and kept my enemies
    from celebrating my death.
2 I prayed to you, Lord God,
    and you healed me,
3 saving me from death
    and the grave.
4 Your faithful people, Lord,
will praise you with songs
    and honor your holy name.
5 Your anger lasts a little while,
but your kindness lasts
    for a lifetime.
At night we may cry,
but when morning comes
    we will celebrate.
6 I felt secure and thought,
    “I'll never be shaken!”
7 You, Lord, were my friend,
and you made me strong
    as a mighty mountain.
But when you hid your face,
    I was crushed.
8 I prayed to you, Lord,
    and in my prayer I said,
9 “What good will it do you
    if I am in the grave?
Once I have turned to dust,
    how can I praise you
or tell how loyal you are?
10     Have pity, Lord! Help!”
11 You have turned my sorrow
    into joyful dancing.
No longer am I sad
    and wearing sackcloth.[a]
12 I thank you from my heart,
    and I will never stop
singing your praises,
    my Lord and my God.
