A Prayer for Protection (Psalm 64, Part 3)

A Declaration (verses 7-10) 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2064:7-10&version=NIV

In the end the wicked get what they had planned to give. The words of our enemies will testify against them and condemn them. Our enemies’ most mischievous weapons are words, but our chief weapon is the Word. We may vanquish our enemies with the Word of God. May we hope in God during our adversity, declaring our protection in Him. We have His redemption, His adoption, His good name, and His final deliverance. May we therefore be glad in Him, take refuge in Him, and glory in Him.

Lord God of mercy, we rejoice in You and take refuge in You. Preserve us from our enemies, and save us in Your Son. Help us to declare Your work through our lives and ponder what You have done. We glory in You!

      When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,

Don’t forget that God in heaven answers prayer;

He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through—

Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Charles A. Tindley (1851-1933)
