Her Right And Her Cause

Psalm 35: 22-26

You have seen it, O Lord, do not keep silent;
O Lord, do not be far from me.

Stir up Yourself, and awake to my right
And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

Judge me, O Lord my God, according to Your rightousness,
And do not let them rejoice over me.

Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha, our desire!"
Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up!"

Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress;
Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

(Read the whole Psalm, 28 verses.)

O my Father, I pray for the peace of Jerusalem! I pray for Your child Israel; that as David prayed for vindication against his enemies, that I pray for You to stir up Yourself and awake to her right and to her cause, O Lord; do not let them rejoice over her! 

Do not let them say, "We have swallowed her up!" as their purpose and reason for being is stated so!

O Father, those Nations that surround tiny Israel are unabashedly seeking to destroy and obliterate Israel, and yet Israel has yet to turn to You!

Please, Father, draw this tiny Nation that You have chosen and built to Yourself! Open their eyes and hearts to Your Truth, that You may then strengthen her over her enemies! 

Please draw her to Yourself, Father; for she cannot turn to You withoug Your drawing.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
