Psalm 35~ Praying God's Word

Please read Psalm 35.

Meditate on verse 1.

Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me;

 fight against those who fight against me.

Are you or someone you love being treated unjustly and wrongly?  Psalm 35 gives you a Godly way to handle the situation.

1.     Give the person who is wronging you to the LORD.

Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;

 let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.

 Let them be like chaff before the wind,

with the angel of the LORD driving them on.

—Psalm 35:4-5

2.      Pray for the person who is mistreating you when they are in difficulty.

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth;

 I humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer kept returning to my bosom.

 I went about as though it were my friend and brother;

 I bowed down mourning as one who sorrows for a mother.

           —Psalm 35:13-14

3.     Worship the LORD with other believers.

I will give You thanks in the great congregation;

 I will praise You among a mighty throng.

—Psalm 35:18

4.     Fellowship with Godly people who will pray for you and rejoice with you.

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication;

 and let them say continually,

“The LORD be magnified, who delights in the prosperity of His servant.”

—Psalm 35:27

5.     Continually thank and praise the LORD. 

And my soul shall rejoice in the LORD; it shall exult in His salvation.

And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness and Your praise all day long.

—Psalm 35:9, 28

Pray Psalm 35:22-24 over an unjust situation.

“You have seen it, O LORD, do not keep silent;

 O LORD, do not be far from _______ and me.

 Stir up Yourself and awake to our right and to our cause, our God and our LORD.

 Judge us, O LORD, our God, according to Your righteousness,

 and do not let them rejoice over us.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
