In a world filled with unpredictable threats and evil agendas, we turn to God’s Word for protection and justice. Psalm 140 reminds us that God sees the wicked and does not ignore their schemes. This prayer calls on God to safeguard us from random violence, expose deception, and lift up those who live righteously.

Prayer

Father, there are real wicked people in this world. They’re useless, no good and violent. Protect me from their random violence. Keep me from being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Suppress the wicked! Annihilate the violent! Demote all liars! Promote the righteous! Protect the poor and weak! Uphold justice! Make this world bearable in Jesus’ name, amen. 

Psalms 140:1-3

Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers; protect me from the violent, who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day. They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips.
Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet. The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path.

I say to the Lord, “You are my God.” Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy. Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.
Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord; do not let their plans succeed. Those who surround me proudly rear their heads; may the mischief of their lips engulf them.
May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.
May slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down the violent.

I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy. Surely the righteous will praise your name, and the upright will live in your presence.
