Father, we universally recognize the scorn we vicariously experience because of malicious men who devise sinister plans in their hardened hearts. They have not considered you by thinking about you but their devious ways are treacherous and they speak contemptuously with malice. But you have been faithful to your suffering servant. The king asks you to aggressively protect the helpless poor and the needy from the ruthless hands of the wicked. Why do condemned men scheme against the suffering poor and the needy and say in their rebellious hearts God does not see? Oh, great King of the earth! Arise and deliver the needy from the bloodstained hands of the wicked man!
We know your ways are peaceful because you justly govern the calves of the nations. Father, why do aggressive men speak with obstinate, so they are as spiteful as serpents bite and could no be charmed by a snake charmer? Father these vicious rulers bring acute distress and offensive threats. We recall you reduce leaders to nothing like a still-born child like a slug melts away as it moves along. You pronounce their foolish thoughts futile bringing your justice to bear. For the righteous cry out in dreadful night and day asking when you will assuredly make all things right? For we long to plunge our bruised feet in the blood of the wicked.
Father, you have adequately established us to be honorable by your eternal righteousness. If the gate door was not your righteous Son then no one could enter into your house. This is why we rejoice to find lasting peace and economic prosperity in your secure refuge. Because you expand our barns to overflowing and we heartily rejoice you diligently watch over our prosperous cities. Father, you have delivered us the oracles of God so that we pronounce glory in your holiness. For your holiness is seen in faithfully recreating the world according to the divine beauty of your gracious majesty. Worship you, that we are not forsaken without eternal hope and divine protection.
We long for the living God! Our souls thirst for You. When can we serve and encounter our God? While desperate men say night and day where is your God? Our God is in brilliant heaven, and He satisfactorily accomplishes whatever pleases Him! Oh, be wonderfully pleased to abundantly supply us with the divine goodness that comes from your elaborate table. That table, that you diligently prepare in the ominous presence of our cruel enemies. They will know you have blessed us on the day of vindication! Father, the world will say of that day we have been universally consecrated by God when the saints are faithfully delivered.
May we feast on the pleasing things of your table so that we might seek your face in your house? For your word bores in our dull ears to hear "seek His illuminated face. Oh Lord we will seek our supreme and faithful God". Do not hide your face from us. Do not turn away your servant in anger. Cause us to rejoice in you. Make us dance before our Lord. So that we will lie down by your unspeakable comfort and will say there is nothing on earth that we sincerely desire. This is our supreme God who reassures us above and beyond what we could respectfully ask and think. Praise be to the Most High over all the earth!
