Psalm 9:19 “Arise, O LORD, let not man triumph;”
[Yes, Lord, as we see the attempts of terrorist groups on the Middle East to wipe out anyone who disagrees with their beliefs, let them not win. Prevent sinful man from overcoming your plans, your purposes and your people; bring them low, defeat them in their attempts to bring harm so that your name may be honored.]
“let the nations be judged in your presence.”
[Praise you that you will judge nations in righteousness and people with justice. “Vengeance is mine, I will repay,” says the Lord (Rom. 12:19). We don’t have to carry the burden of making it all right, we are just called to be your lights in our sphere of influence and trust you to bring judgment to the nations.]
Psalm 9:20 “Strike them with terror, O LORD; let the nations know they are but men.”
[Yes, Lord, may terror overwhelm them because of your greatness, may fear seize them because of your righteousness, may anxiety grip them because of the judgment to come.
May many be brought to belief and surrender to you by a supernatural fear descending on them: fear of death , fear of judgment and condemnation, fear of the future, fear of what lies beyond death. May they realize clearly that they have nothing to trust in and turn to you–who offers them forgiveness, cleansing, adoption and eternal life–instead of trusting in their traditions which can give them nothing in the end.
Break through, Lord, bring great awakening, sweep many in to your Kingdom!]
