Psalm Number 

7

¹ O LORD my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me, ² or like a lion they will tear me apart; they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verses 1 to 2)

Oh God my beloved Father, I also pray for protection, for I also have enemies who are dying to dig their fangs into me and do me as much damage as possible. I pray that You deliver me from such potent foes and do not permit them to harm me more than they are presently doing Amen.







³ O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, ⁴ if I have repaid my ally with harm or plundered my foe without cause, ⁵ then let the enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust.




(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verses 3 to 5)




O God my blessed Father, You are the one who is going to do me justice in front of humans, I also pray that if I have cheated anybody throughout the course of this life that You judge me accordingly or as You deem to be fit for me. Amen.




⁶ Rise up, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.



(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 6)




Oh God my beloved Father, I have not the cheek to tell You to rise up, for You are always wide awake and active in my life. I pray that You are always on my right and left side ready to protect me from those who seek to judge me not to seek justice and righteousness but to satisfy their evil inclinations Amen. 




⁷ Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you, and over it take your seat on high.



(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 7)




Oh God my Father, if there is a person who can pass judgement it is You and not the people of the earth. I pray that as always You will manifest Your mercy and even Your justice my God and Father, especially on the current issues Amen.




⁸ The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.




(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 8)




Oh God my beloved Father, today I had to make a decision on behalf of a client, that I was aware that he is a vulnerable client. On assessing the situation I was aware that I made the right decision. However, there were those who criticised me for the decision that I made even though they were not in my situation at the time. I pray that I be judged on my good intentions and integrity and not on a lack of value judgement or poor assessment Amen.




⁹ O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts O righteous God.




(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 9)




Oh God my Father, only You are aware of the evil that is planned against me in my life, especially during this time of separation from my wife. I pray that You sincerely test our hearts and mind and if You find an inch of goodness in me please avenge me in the face of my enemies. I leave my judgement in Your hands my God and Father Amen. 




¹⁰ God is my shield, who saves the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.




(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 10)




Oh God my Father this is indeed a great consolation to have You as my shield especially during this time of great tribulation. I present my case before You my God and Father, and may Your justice prevail over the ways of the world. I am aware of my weaknesses and limitations, however, as You know I always do my best. I pray for Your mercy and advocacy when I am in the presence of my enemies Amen. 




¹¹ God is a righteous Judge, and a God who has indignation every day.




(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 11) 




Oh God, my Father, You are loving righteous, caring and just. You are justice itself. Unlike the world there are no blemishes or doubts in You my God and Father, it is in You that I place my trust Amen. 



¹² If one does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and strung his bow, ¹³ he has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.



(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verses 12 to 13)





Oh God my blessed Father I am pleased to be one of your arrows planted in Your bow and ready to be fired in any direction of Your desire. I pray that this blog is distributed among many nations and that Your name is praised by all the people of the world Amen. Thank You Jesus.




¹⁴ See how they conceive evil and are pregnant with mischief, and bring forth lies.



(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 14)  




The arrows of the evil one breed mischief and more negativity and therefore have an end, however the arrows of God my Father breed positivity and grace Amen.



 ¹⁵ They make a pit, digging it out, and fall into the hole that they have made. ¹⁶ Their mischief returns upon their own heads, and on their own heads their violence descends.




(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verses 15 to 16)




Oh God my beloved Father, those who plan evil for others end up experiencing this same evil themselves, for their lives have become one big lie that due to every lie becomes harder to unwind. They are making a hangman's loop around their own neck Amen.




¹⁷  I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.




(The Book of Psalms Number 7 verse 17) 



Oh God my Father, right now the evil spirits are shooting their arrows inside of me. I have an arrow in the nerve going from my neck to my shoulder and I have sticthes in my left hand. However even though it is as if I am being used as a dart board I give praise and worship to You my God and Father.




Blessed be the Name of the Lord my God! as in the following song and prayer credit to TracyJ001



Blessed be the Name of the Lord  




Oh God my beloved Father I would like to end this meditation on Psalm Number 7 with the following prayer:-
 


Oh God my Father, I pray that You make me an instrument of Your peace. An arrow that pierces skin, bone and spirit by which the Holy Word of God may be delivered both online and offline. I pray that You make me one of Your messengers Amen

Psalm Number 

6

 

¹ O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath.

(The Book of Psalms Number 6 verse 1)

Oh God my Father, I am also begging for Your mercy, for a time has come or will soon come when I am going to make an important decision, that might not be according to Your will according to the commandments that You gave me as a point of reference, however in order to protect and preserve what is left of me, it is important that I make plans to move on in life and seek a new beginning. I am sorry that it has to be like this but I cannot take it anymore. I thank You for all the support that You are giving me Amen.



² Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing: O LORD, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.


(The Book of Psalms Number 6 verse 2)



Oh God I also plead for Your mercy, my bones are shaking with anxiety and I do not feel totally well. I am passing from a hard time in my marriage and I feel totally depressed. Have mercy on me and my situation my God and Father Amen.


³ My soul also is struck with terror, while you, O LORD-how long?

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 3)

 

Oh God my Father, even my soul trembles with terror before You, for even though I am trying to be nice with my wife and showing her love and care, my soul is not happy for it wishes to start a new life away from both my wife and my daughter, in order to be reunited with You, but it seems like its going to take longer than I expected. God be with me, please. 


⁴ Turn, O LORD, save my life; deliver me for the sake of your steadfast love.

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 4)

 

Oh God my Father spare me from the traps of my enemies hold me in Your arms and bestow on me that Fatherly love that only You can give Amen. Thank You, Jesus.





⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who can give you praise?

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 5)

Oh God my beloved Father, while being in a state of solitude and spiritual or physical death, we are not in an ideal position to lift our hearts to You in praise, for our state of heaviness weighs us down, however You do not want me to stay in this negative state for a long time. You want me to make an experience of loneliness in order to experience spiritual growth, however we are not made to remain in this state forever, for You created us to live in communion with others, therefore You are able to break the chains of my solitude and give me new life in the community where together we can lift our hearts together in a state of praise, thanksgiving, and worship. Amen.


⁶ I am weary with my moaning: every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. ⁷ My eyes waste away because of grief; they grow weak because of all my foes.

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verses 6 to 7)

Oh God, my beloved Father, I thank You for having wiped the tears of my eyes and for having listened to my calls of sorrow. I also have shed my share of tears and sorrow, but now I thank You that my period of sorrow at least on one big issue is almost at its end Amen.


⁸ Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping. ⁹ The LORD has heard my supplication; the LORD accepts my prayer.

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verses 8 to 9)

This is also my prayer my God and Father, that all the compulsions negative feelings, depressive moments, moments of anger, depart from me along with any triggers that arouse such feelings so that I can be totally Yours and a worthy servant to others. I also thank You for listening to my prayer.

¹⁰ All my enemies shall be ashamed and struck with terror; they shall turn back, and in a moment be put to shame.

(The Book of Psalm Number 6 verse 10)

In the name of my Lord God and Father, I command all such feelings and thoughts to be cleared from the heart and the deep crevices of my brain, so that I can be free of such drives and compulsions Amen.

Oh God my beloved Father, I would like to end this meditation on Psalm 6 with the following prayer:



Protect me oh God my Father from sin that is always at my door. Clothe me with Your love and kindness, keep me before You. May I be like a child that seeks refuge in Your loving arms Amen. Thank You, God, my Father Amen.

¹ Give ear to my words, O LORD; give heed to my sighing.

(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 1)

Oh God my Father during moments of stress this is also my prayer, however in truth on reflecting I realise that You are so close to me, that even before something happens You already know about it. Moreover, You are always many steps ahead of my situations and are so proactive that You are already providing me with the necessary support resources and care.



² Listen to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you I pray. ³ O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.

(Book of Psalms Number 5 verses 2 and 3)



Oh God in the morning and in the evening I lift up my prayers to You. We are in constant contact. However, I am still weak in my relationship with You and even with others. I pray that our relationship becomes stronger and that even the state of my spiritual welfare improves as according to Your will Amen.


⁴ For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil will not sojourn with you.


(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 4)



Oh God my Father You are a God of love and mercy, indeed no evil can ever be present in You or even near You, for the evil one cannot stand Your Holy presence. Some people during moments of desperation question why You permitted as they think it to be that hijacks or natural disasters or wars to take place, but You have nothing to do, or have no blame for such negative events, for many take place due to our wrong decisions and according to our own evil intentions and not according to Your will Amen.


Therefore I invite You to join me in praise and worship by clicking on the following link:-


Song great and mighty is the Lord our God



⁵ The boastful will not stand before your eyes; you hate all evildoers.


(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 5)




Oh God my Father, humble and merciful, evil can never stand Your presence, I pray that You purify my soul from all traces of pride and negativity, so that  I can share in Your positive traits Amen.


⁶ You destroy those who speak lies; the LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.


(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 6)



Oh God my Father falsehood can never be found in You, for You are the father of truth and justice, who does everything for our good and not for our downfall Amen.



⁷ But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house, I will bow down toward your holy temple in awe of you.


(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 7) 



Oh God my Father if and when I will appear before You it will not be as a consequence of anything that I had done in life but, as a consequence of Your love for me Amen. Thank You for loving me so much Amen. 



⁸ Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me. 


(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 8)



Oh God my Father, this is also my prayer, lead me in your righteousness for the enemies are launching another attack on me, and I feel I am on the point of breaking down. Please make straight Your ways before me, for I am so emotionally stimulated that I cannot see the way even if it is straight before me. Part of me needs to take the decision and the other part is contrary. I pray that You show me the right  way Amen. 



⁹ For there is no truth in their mouths; their hearts are destruction; their throats are open graves; they flatter with their tongues. 


(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 9) 




Oh God my beloved Father when we let ourselves be dominated by evil, we become a threat to all. No goodness remains in us. Our intents end up being malicous and we end up using such techniques such as lies and flattery in order to get our ways. I pray that You save me from myself, that I may be delivered from ending in such a situation or at least be able to cope in such circumstances Amen. 



¹⁰  Make them bear their guilt, O God: let them fall by their own counsels because of their many transgressions cast them out, for they have rebelled against you.



(Book of Psalms Number 5 verse 10)



Oh God my beloved Father, if we all had to bear the responsibility  of our actions our lives would be much better than they are at the present. May I walk in the truth because both my positive and my negative actions will act against me. I pray for mercy for my feelings are not always against You my God and Father, but against those around me who are making my life a misery a living hell.


 ¹¹  But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, so that those who love your name may exult in you. ¹² For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover them with favor as with a shield.


(Book of Psalms Number 5 verses 11 to 12)


Oh God my Father, I wish to consider myself along with those who seek refuge in You, for at this time in my life I feel far away from You and close to the ways of the world. However I am convinced that even though I am going through this time of stress, You are still with me and protecting me, even though I am still not free of old sins Amen.





Oh God my beloved Father, while in Your presence, I would like to end the fifth psalm with the following prayer:




Protect me I beg You my God and Father, for the forces of evil have surrounded me. I am with my back to the wall, harassed from all sides. I pray that You protect me from my enemies both within and around me in my inner circles Amen. Mercy oh God my Father, protect me with Your precious blood that You shed at the time of the passion. Anoint me with the power of the Holy Spirit, for the battle will soon be in full swing against me. But You are with me, the cornerstone and fortress of my salvation. Amen. Thank You Jesus

¹. Answer me when I call, O God of my right! You gave me room when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.

(Book of Psalms Psalm Number 4 verse 1)

For all of us who feel lonely rest assured that You my, God and Father will break down the barriers of our misery and stress and answer our prayers. Even though we may feel alone, unsure if we have made the right decision, nonetheless God is with us and will guide us through the storms and the twisters of our life Amen. Thank You Jesus Amen.



². How long, you people, shall my honor suffer shame? How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? ³ But know that the LORD has set apart the faithful for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.


(Book of Psalms Psalm Number 4 verses 2 to 3)



Oh God, I thank You for putting up with our attitudes and character, for we are not always aware of what we do and say. Many times we say we love You, but on the other hand, we hold old grudges for our neighbour or those of our inner circles. There are great disparities in what we do and say.  I pray oh God my Father that You have mercy on us and please do not hold it against us when we verbally accuse You of our shortcomings for we are weak. I thank You for always listening and answering my prayers my God and Father Amen. Blessed be Your Name forever and ever.



⁴. When you are disturbed, do not sin; ponder it on your beds, and be silent.


(Book of Psalms Psalm Number 4 verse 4)



Oh God, my Father when I am angry I often say many things in order to vent my anger, however, it would have been better for me to seek You in silence and solitude and share my chalice of bitterness with You Amen.



⁵. Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the  LORD. ⁶ There are many who say, "O that we might see some good! Let the light of your face shine on us, O LORD! ⁷ You have put gladness in my heart more than when their grain and wine abound. ⁸ I will both lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O LORD, make me lie down in safety.



(Book of Psalms Psalm Number 4 verses 5 to 8)




Oh God, my Father I feel confused and stressed for although I am placing my full trust in You, my soul is still troubled and I cannot rest in peace. You know the stress I am experiencing I pray that You intervene soon before I get hurt, or hurt somebody as a consequence. As You know yesterday I was so unfocused that I ended up staring into the windscreen of my vehicle as if staring into space. For a second I was not even aware that the car was moving had it not been the wiper that caught my attention in order to save me from crashing into the car in front of me. I pray that You intervene soon my God and Father, so that both my body and my soul may find its rest Amen.



I would like to end this chapter with the following prayer:

 Answer me when I call, O God of my right! You gave me support when I was in distress. Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer. Please intervene while there is still chance Amen. 

Thank You Jesus

1. O LORD, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; 2. many are saying to me, "There is no help for you in God."

(Book of Psalms Number 3 verses 1 to 2)

Oh God my Father this is the attitude of the world, when stress starts escalating and one has exhausted all one's cards, the only option is to give up. When all the tests have been done and the doctor has confirmed that we have been diagnosed with a terminal illness there is no other option left but to live day by day until the end comes.

However, this is not the attitude of the Christian, for we believe in a God who is able to reverse the causes of all illness. We believe in a God of life who promotes life, whose life on earth was one battle against the death of the body and the death of the soul. God will never abandon us, therefore let us place our trust in Him Amen.  




3. But you, O LORD, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. 4. I cry aloud to the LORD and he answers me from his holy hill. 5. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, for the LORD sustains me. 6. I am not afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against me all around.



(Book of Psalms Number 3 verses 3 to 6)



Oh God my Father You watch over me every second of my life. Night and day You care for me. You are always available to listen to my prayers and will never put me on the waiting list or switch on the answering machine to receive my call. You are everywhere I go and knows what is going on in my life up to the smallest detail. Everywhere I go I carry with me my pocket version of the New Testament and I open at random and You always give me a trustworthy message Amen.


7. Rise up, O LORD! Deliver me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.  8. Deliverance belongs to the LORD; may your blessing be on your people!



(Book of Psalms Number 3 verses 7 to 8)



Oh God my Father protect me for I am harassed from all sides. My mind is in conflict with my body. I end up doing things that I do not want to do. My feelings come into conflict with my physical urges and I end up torn apart, both physically and mentally. Moreover, my spirit in unity with Your spirit that dwells in me plays the role of the referee and fights both mind and body in order to keep me in balance. I thank You my God, and Father for keeping and protecting me Amen.



Oh God my Father I would like to end this post with the following prayer.



Oh God my Father, God of all Gods Lord of all Lords, Father of all Fathers, I praise your Holy and mighty name. I thank You for protecting me at all times. May You never lift your eyes of me for I am a weak person who cannot live without You. May You protect me under Your wing like a hen who covers her chickens with her wings Amen.
