LORD, thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me (Psalm 31:3). As Elisha prayed for his servant, I pray to you, O my God: open my eyes, that I may see (2 Kings 6:17). Open my eyes, that I may see the snares my enemies have laid in my life. Give me understanding and wisdom, that I may know how to avoid them, and that all the glory may return to you, the God of righteousness.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower (Psalm 18:2). Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress (Psalm 71:3). Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me (Psalm 31:2). Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help (Psalm 35:2). An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength (Psalm 33:17). But salvation belongeth unto the LORD (Psalm 3:8).
Lord, you sent Jesus Christ, your anointed, to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised (Luke 4:18). So heal my broken heart and proclaim my deliverance. Give me back the sight my enemies have taken from me. I shall not need to fight in this battle: I will set myself, I will stand still, and I will see the salvation you will grant me (2 Chronicles 20:17).
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head (Psalm 3:3), for my redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28).
You, LORD, come to my help. When a poor man cries, you hear him, and save him out of all his troubles (Psalm 34:6). You deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper (Psalm 72:12). Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle (Psalm 28:2). Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer (Psalm 4:1). Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee (Psalm 102:1). Give ear to the words of my mouth (Psalm 54:2). O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come (Psalm 65:2). Thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation (Psalm 27:9).
For you have not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither have you hid your face from him; but when he cried unto you, you heard (Psalm 22:24).
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise (Psalm 51:17). You are nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and you save such as be of a contrite spirit (Psalm 34:18).
Let my garments be always white, and let my head lack no ointment (Ecclesiastes 9:8). You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runneth over (Psalm 23:5). Though my sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool (Isaiah 1:18). For now in Christ Jesus, I who sometimes was far off am made nigh by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13), the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel (Hebrews 12:24). Having therefore boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19), I come boldly unto the throne of grace, that I may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
I give you thanks, Father, for you have made me meet to be partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light; you have delivered me from the power of darkness, and have translated me into the kingdom of your dear Son, in whom I have redemption, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:12-14). You have blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against me, which was contrary to me, and took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross; and having spoiled principalities and powers, you made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it (Colossians 2:14-15).
There is therefore now no condemnation for me, for I am in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). Being justified by faith, I have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).
Yes, LORD, it is you who save me from my enemies, and put them to shame that hate me (Psalm 44:7). I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears (Psalm 34:4). I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies (Psalm 18:3).
My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation. There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God. The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength (1 Samuel 2:1-4).
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen! (Revelation 7:12)
