Saved From Bloodthirsty Men?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who need to be saved from bloodthirsty men. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Look at the latest news. The statistics are startling. Targeted or indiscriminate violence is having a devastating impact on communities. It also affects individuals.
Psalm 59:1-5 (ESV) is about David, the psalmist’s, request that he will be delivered from people sent to kill him.
“Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;
protect me from those who rise up against me;
deliver me from those who work evil,
and save me from bloodthirsty men.
For behold, they lie in wait for my life;
fierce men stir up strife against me.
For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord,
for no fault of mine, they run and make ready.
Awake, come to meet me, and see!
You, Lord God of hosts, are God of Israel.
Rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
spare none of those who treacherously plot evil. Selah ”
