Psalm 94
1 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
'To You, O Lord, I will Sing Praises.' (Ps.101:1)
Goodnight Yosemitest.
I come to You now, in total dismay. Our new President is now blatantly being compared to Jesus. It is no longer a simple foolish blathering of adoration of this man... but now... he is being said to be Christ-like.
Oh Holy God! Holy, jealous and magnificent above all... I can only stand in awe of You! I pray that this President will learn from You to be humble, as Jesus. I pray that these people saying he is like Jesus come to know and understand Jesus... and that there is no other, there is no comparison. Oh God, have mercy on Your people! Protect us, teach us how to fight the good fight, and grant us the wisdom we need to live and walk in this day.
I hope and pray this President will lead this country in godly wisdom, virtue, and power. My hope lies in You, most precious anchor of hope! I commit this President to You... as I do this country. I am very concerned about this President's stance on abortion. I know there are a lot of other urgent matters, and this President has his plate full, but Lord... I pray for the lives of the unborn children! I pray for the sovereign life and well-being of this nations republic!
I thank You for the blessing of this great nation. I thank You for the freedoms of this great nation. I thank You for the prime example of leadership, justice, and mercy on Your people.
In Jesus Holy Name... Amen.
