Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies A Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite

in MCGI Cares Hive4 months ago

O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,

Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O Lord my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands,
If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,
Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah
Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!
So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.
God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.
If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.
He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crow
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
When my enemies turn back, They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
For You have maintained my right and my cause; You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
You have rebuked the nations, You have destroyed the wicked; You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
O enemy, destructions are finished forever! And you have destroyed cities; Even their memory has perished.
But the Lord shall endure forever; He has prepared His throne for judgment.
He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.
Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people.
When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.
Have mercy on me, O Lord! Consider my trouble from those who hate me, You who lift me up from the gates of death,
That I may tell of all Your praise In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will rejoice in Your salvation.
The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
The Lord is known by the judgment He executes; The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.

what you say is wrong I do not copy and paste

No, actually you did copy-paste from scripture. I checked the @hivewatchers source link. Maybe it wasn't that exact webpage, but you clearly copied from whatever version of bible that bible.com uses. Your removal of verse numbers seems like it might have been an attempt to hide the copying from Psalms 9.

Notice I used the word "version". The "bible" is public domain and, yes, anybody can copy it without permission but you need to cite it as a source. Some versions of the bible are translated and those translations can make those versions copyrighted.

Also, thou shall not steal credit for what others have written. It's one of those commandments as I seem to recall. I would think that any deity willing to throw you into eternal burning fire isn't the one you would want to steal credit from.

Okay I understand what you are saying
