Psalm 7

7 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.


Prayer :

Abba Father,

In You, O Lord, I place my trust. Save me from those who persecute me, and deliver me from the snares that threaten to tear my soul apart. Guard me like a shepherd protects the flock from the lion's grasp, for in You alone can I find true deliverance.

Lord, if there be any iniquity in my hands, if I have wronged others, I come before You in humility and repentance. Forgive me for any misdeeds, and grant me the grace to seek reconciliation where it is needed.

I lift up to You the conflicts and strife in my life. If enemies rise against me, let Your justice prevail. Yet, Lord, I pray for mercy and transformation, that enmity may be replaced with understanding and peace.

Arise, O Lord, in Your anger against the wickedness that seeks to harm. Stand in defense of those who trust in You. Awake to the judgment You have commanded, and bring justice to every situation.

May the congregation of the people be surrounded by Your presence, and may Your glory be known to all. Return on high, O Lord, for Your name's sake, and let Your righteousness prevail.

In the name of Jesus, I pray.

Amen.
