Save me, O God,
The pressure is too much — I’m drowning.
I’m sinking deep, stuck with nothing to hold on to.
The floodwaters are rising, and I’m overwhelmed.
I’m exhausted. Worn out. My enemies never stop.
They say our wickedness will not get hold of us; the Most High cannot touch us
We have somebody to take the guilt of our punishments, someone to pay for our deeds
We will steal, kill and destroy, we will oppose the Most High God, we will defy the Lord of Hosts and wage war against His purpose
for by the law of the Most High we cannot be judged and by the Word of the Jehovah will we do mischief
Listen to these wicked people God Most High! Though I have not heard a word yet their voice is loud on the face of the Earth. How long will they say such things!
Do they not know that there is a God who judges the earth?! Yes they do!
So, Lord —
Break their teeth.
Tear out the fangs of these lions.
Let them disappear like water on dry ground.
Let their weapons misfire.
Let them waste away like slugs in the sun,
Like babies who never see the light of day.
Be lifted up, God, even among the wicked.
Let Your justice be seen.
Let Your name be honored.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
