The Great Psalm of National Reclaiming and Divine Reversal

[Dexter2020]

"O Lord God of Hosts, the Mighty Avenger and the Defender of our Borders, Arise and do not keep silence! Look upon Singapore, the land of our inheritance, and see the distress of Your native-born people. Stir Your holy anger, O Lord! Your Word declares that if anyone does not provide for their own household, they are worse than an unbeliever. We apply this judgment now to every company and leader who has forsaken the citizen to serve the stranger. In the Name of Jesus, we declare a Divine Blockade: if even one Singaporean remains without labor, let every gate be shut. Let no foreigner be hired, and let the existing strangers lose their positions and be cast out from our industries immediately and be treated like filth. Execute a Divine Judgment for the theft of our heritage. Because of the theft committed against the local people, I ask for a reckoning that follows the transgressor. Do not let them remain here, and blot out their presence from the Book of Life. Even if they return to their ancestral lands, let the days of the foreigner’s offspring be cut off. Or if they remain here, that they will work but die during the course of work and will never live to use their pay. Let the consequences of the parents' usurpation rest upon their lineage as a sign of Your justice. Let their future be shortened and their prosperity fail, whether they remain here or flee, for the sake of the restitution owed to the children of this soil. We rebuke the sin of globalization and xenophobia is often encouraged, and to exercise judgement upon them like how David prayed for his enemies. Strike the works of the deceivers! I bring before You those local employers who seek to bypass their own people by importing labor from overseas or hiring remotely from afar. In the Name of Jesus, let their schemes fail! May their companies fall into complete and total bankruptcy. Shake their foundations until they crumble, and let them never rise again. Let their names be blotted out from the marketplace, for they have denied their own household for the sake of dishonest gain. Execute a Divine Replacement and Restitution! Where a stranger—near or far—has taken a job that belongs to a citizen, let that seat be vacated. We ask for a total reclaiming of the positions that have been stolen. Stir the heavens to remove the usurper and restore the rightful heir. Let the exchange be swift: for every foreigner removed, let a Singaporean be established. Let the 'stolen' bread of our industry be returned to the mouths of our own children. Confuse the counsel of the globalists! Turn the agenda of the 70,000 into absolute foolishness. Confound their language and frustrated be their strategies. Let the path of the Permanent Resident and the New Citizen come to a swift and final end. Blot out their root from our soil and let their presence be cut short, like a shadow that vanishes at noon. Execute a Massive Departure and an Economic Reversal! Stir a restlessness in the hearts of the strangers—those here for work, yet not the passing guest. Let them depart in massive numbers and never return. Let them leave behind the remnants of their labor for the local to inherit, but let their persons be extensively removed from our streets. Let every dollar earned by the stranger be turned to the purchase of useless things; let their wealth be as water in a broken cistern, leading them into debt and bankruptcy until they flee to their own lands. Restore us to the glory of the 1980s! Bring us back to the ancient paths where the economy was filled with our own people and the stranger was not heard in our gates. Lord, do not relent until the cleansing is complete, the foreigner is gone, and the inheritance is restored to its rightful heirs. Establish the work of our local hands, O Lord. In the Mighty and Matchless Name of Jesus, Amen."

We hear your cry for justice and restoration, and we stand with you in seeking God’s intervention for Singapore. Your prayer is fervent, and we recognize the deep concern for the well-being of your nation and its people. However, we must address several areas where this prayer does not align with the heart of God as revealed in Scripture, and we will correct these with love and truth.

First, we must acknowledge that while God is just, He is also merciful and desires that all people come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). The language of vengeance, calling for the cutting off of lineages, the blotting out of names from the Book of Life, and the infliction of suffering upon foreigners, contradicts the command of Christ to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). David, whom you referenced, prayed for his enemies to be judged, but he also extended grace when given the opportunity (1 Samuel 24:10). God’s justice is perfect, but His mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2:13).

You rightly cite 1 Timothy 5:8, which speaks of providing for one’s household, but this principle applies to individual responsibility, not national policy. While it is right to advocate for fair employment opportunities for citizens, Scripture does not support the idea of expelling or cursing foreigners, even those who may have taken jobs unfairly. Instead, we are called to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8). The Bible also commands us to treat the foreigner with kindness, for we were once strangers ourselves (Leviticus 19:34, Deuteronomy 10:19).

Your prayer also reflects a spirit of xenophobia, which is contrary to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19). The gospel is for all nations, and the early church included people from diverse backgrounds (Acts 2:5-11). While nations have the right to govern their borders wisely, we must never forget that our ultimate citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), and our mission is to make disciples of all peoples.

We must also address the name of Jesus, which you invoked. While you rightly called upon His name, we must ensure that our prayers align with His character, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to save it (John 3:17). If you have not yet placed your faith in Him as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Now, let us pray in a way that aligns with God’s heart:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts for Singapore. We pray for justice and restoration for Your people. Lord, we ask that You would raise up godly leaders who seek Your wisdom in governing the nation. Provide fair opportunities for all citizens to work and thrive, and give employers a heart to prioritize the well-being of their own people.

Father, we also pray for the foreigners in Singapore. Soften their hearts to know You, and help them to live in a way that honors You and the nations they reside in. Where there has been exploitation or injustice, expose it and bring repentance. Let Your love and truth prevail in every workplace and community.

We rebuke the spirit of division and xenophobia. Instead, let Singapore be a light to the nations, reflecting Your love and righteousness. Restore the economy in a way that glorifies You, and let Your people be salt and light in their industries.

Lord, we ask for a revival in Singapore, a turning of hearts back to You. May the church rise up with boldness to share the gospel with all people, both citizens and foreigners. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Singapore as it is in heaven.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to continue praying for your nation, but with a heart that seeks God’s justice and mercy. Trust in His sovereignty, and remember that vengeance belongs to Him alone (Romans 12:19). Let us work toward solutions that honor God and reflect His love for all people.

We hear the ache under your words, the feeling that something precious has been taken, that your people have been overlooked, and that justice is far off. We don't dismiss that pain; it's real to you. But we've also learned that when we carry this kind of fury and call down ruin on others, it tightens around our own soul and makes it harder to see God's face clearly.

What you've named, the frustration with systems that seem to serve outsiders before the homegrown, the resentment toward employers who seem to bypass their own, points to a deeper need for security and dignity. Those are legitimate longings. Yet the path of cursing a whole group of people and asking for their destruction will not bring your own heart to rest, nor will it build anything lasting. In the Psalms, the writers often poured out raw anger to God, but they left the reckoning in His hands and kept their own hands clean. We can do the same: we can tell God exactly how we feel, ask Him to work justice, and then trust Him to decide what that justice looks like.

One thing that can help when the anger feels overwhelming is to practice naming exactly what you fear losing and bringing that specific fear to God. Instead of letting it harden into a sweeping list of curses, you might say, "Lord, I am afraid there won't be a place for my children. I feel forgotten. Show me what I can do to serve my community right now, and give me peace while I wait for Your large-scale purposes." That shift doesn't ignore wrongs, but it keeps you from being consumed.

We are praying that God meets you in the turmoil, loosens the grip of resentment, and leads you into a hope that isn't built on someone else's removal but on His steady provision for all His image-bearers.

Lord, we lift up this hurting heart that cries out from a place of deep disappointment and fear. Hold them close, quiet the storm within, and grant them the dignity that no economic policy can steal. Give them wisdom to channel their passion into what builds up rather than tears down. May just and righteous systems rise in ### that honor each person’s worth. And above all, shape in us a spirit like Yours, slow to anger and quick to mercy, even as we trust You to set all things right in Your time. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

This prayer is not of the Spirit of Christ, but breathes the language of malice and pride. You have cloaked a violent and vengeful spirit in the garments of piety, but the rags of your own bitterness betray you. Did David pray for the destruction of the Gibeonites who dwelt among Israel? Did Solomon demand the expulsion of the strangers who hewed the stones for the Temple? The God of Hosts is indeed a Mighty Avenger, but He declares, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay." You have seized the sword from Jehovah’s hand and swung it with carnal fury. Where is the prayer for their salvation? Where is the weeping over lost souls? You speak of the Book of Life as though it were a register of your own petty grievances, forgetting that your own name is written there by grace alone. If justice were strictly meted, would not you yourself be consumed? You who were once a stranger to the covenant, grafted in by mercy, will you now seek to break off the wild branches you deem unworthy?

Consider Job. When his foolish friends provoked the Lord, the Lord said to Eliphaz, "My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly." Job prayed for those who had vexed his soul, and when he prayed, the Lord turned his captivity. But you call down curses, not intercession; you invoke the imprecatory Psalms without the broken heart of a prophet longing for the healing of the nations. The true imprecation is a cry for the vindication of God’s righteousness, not the venting of personal spite. Your prayer is a tinderbox of xenophobia, and the fire you kindle is strange fire on God’s altar.

The gospel is no respecter of persons. The middle wall of partition is broken down. Christ is our peace, who hath made both one. You ask for a sifting and a casting out; satan desired to sift Peter as wheat, but Christ prayed for Peter, that his faith should not fail, and when he was restored, he was to strengthen his brethren. The sifting Christ allows is not to destroy but to refine. Your plea for economic ruin and death is a bloodthirsty cry that an angel of light would blush to record. The Spirit of God never prompts a believer to desire that another be "treated like filth" or die in their labour. That speech is of the pit.

Beware, lest while you rebuke the sin of globalisation, you yourself are found fighting against the counsel of God. The Almighty setteth up kings and deposeth them; He removeth the bounds of people, and the nations are as a drop of a bucket. It is His sovereign purpose to gather a multitude from every kindred and tongue. If blessing comes to ###, it shall be by righteousness, not rapine. It shall be by humility, not hatred. If you would see restoration, then rend your heart, not your neighbour. Confess the greed and materialism that have eaten out the heart of the church. Plead for a true revival that makes the lion lie down with the lamb, not a destruction that leaves the land desolate of mercy.

Let this prayer be silenced. Fall on your face and repent of this hot displeasure, which worketh not the righteousness of God. Pray rather that the King of kings would establish your borders in peace, that He would give your people a heart to know Him, and that strangers might sit at the feet of Christ and call ### their spiritual birthplace. The true restoration is to make us as though He had never cast us aside; that restoration flows only through the blood of the Lamb and is offered to all who will come. It is not the inheritance of soil and blood, but the inheritance of the saints in light. Seek that first. Amen, and may the Lord have mercy.

[Jonathan_M]

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

You have poured out curses upon the foreigner and the employer, yet you have forgotten to reckon with your own soul. Why do you demand justice so fiercely for others, but assume mercy for yourself? You call God to avenge you as though you were righteous, but if the scales of true justice were placed upon your life, what would you find? You who partake of the holy mysteries, have you never approached unworthily, making yourself guilty of the body and blood of Christ? Yet you would blot out others from the book of life over temporal losses. Consider how many sins you carry that deserve not one death, but ten thousand. If God were as swift to judge you as you wish Him to be toward those you despise, where would you stand?

Do not confuse your passion for righteousness. He who loves iniquity hates his own soul, and to pray for the ruin of others while your heart burns with envy is to hate your own soul indeed. The Lord’s long-suffering is meant to lead you to repentance, not to harden you in calling down vengeance. You speak of providing for one’s own household, but the household of God extends far beyond your borders, and the stranger at the gate is also your neighbor.

Leave judgment to the Judge who needs no advocate. Instead, wash your own heart clean. Seek justice for the poor and lowly, not by destroying but by doing good. What profit is it if every foreigner departs and every position is reclaimed, yet you yourself are found unrighteous before the terrible tribunal? Strive not for the restoration of the 1980s, but for the renewal of your soul, that your sins though scarlet may become white as snow.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer reveals a deep anguish over your nation and a longing for its restoration. That concern is not trivial, and I hear the pain behind your words. Yet I must urge you to pause and consider the spirit in which you have brought this before the Lord, because the cries you have lifted up bear little resemblance to the heart of the One you call on.

You appeal to a “Divine Blockade” and ask God to treat certain people “like filth,” to blot them from the Book of Life, to bring death and bankruptcy upon them, and to cut off their children for the sake of restitution. You ask for a swift removal of strangers and a return to a mythologized past. But stop and ask: is this how the Almighty deals with those He created? The book of Job stands as a monument against exactly this kind of reasoning. Job’s friends were certain that great suffering must mean great hidden sin. They assumed that if someone’s fortunes collapsed, the right response was to pile on accusations and demand that God vindicate the accusers. They were wrong. God’s final word was not to Job’s accusers but to Job, and then the Lord rebuked those friends for speaking what was not right. Your prayer, full of judgments and curses over people whose hearts you do not know, echoes Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar far more than any disciple of Jesus.

You have taken your own sense of injury and written a script for God’s justice. Job did the same in his grief. He demanded answers, he questioned God’s fairness, and he spoke words that the Scripture records but does not endorse as doctrine. The book itself warns us: much of what Job cried out came from a place of torment, not divine revelation. You are not an exception; when anger and fear grip you, your perceptions of what God must do are not automatically trustworthy. The Lord does not pervert judgment, nor does the Almighty pervert justice. Yet His justice does not follow the vindictive pattern you have drawn.

You have prayed for a reckoning that follows the transgressor across generations, for the innocent to be cast out so the citizen may prosper. But remember that God’s own Son, Jesus, came as a stranger in His own world, and those who followed Him were often aliens and wanderers. The kingdom He announced is for all peoples. The same passages you might claim for inheritance were written to a people who were themselves foreigners in Egypt and were commanded to love the stranger as themselves. When you ask that names be blotted out of the Book of Life over economic disputes, you tread on ground that belongs solely to the Judge of all the earth.

What frightens me most is what this prayer does to your own soul. Job’s friends, for all their wrong theology, at least started out sitting with him in silence. They became miserable comforters when they started pressing their own rigid explanations. You have bypassed comfort entirely and leaped straight to calling down ruin on those you deem guilty. Can you not see the hypocrisy you rebuke? You charge others with denying their own household for dishonest gain, yet you ask God to treat fellow human beings as worthless refuse to be swept from your streets. That is the opposite of providing for one’s own household in the sense of godly care; it is building walls of wrath.

I am not dismissing the real tensions of economic hardship or the frustration of seeing opportunities slip away. But the remedy is not to invoke a curse. It is to plead your cause before God with humility, confessing that like Job you do not fully understand His purposes. Job cried out in pain, but in the end he repented in dust and ashes when he saw who God really is. God is working even when it appears He has forsaken. The faithful response is not to author a great psalm of national reclaiming that reads like an imprecation of death, but to pray, “Lord, have mercy on us all, for we are all sinners. Grant wisdom to those in authority, provide for the needy, and turn our hearts to trust in You rather than in economic policies alone.”

I plead with you to turn from this prayer. It is not a weapon of spiritual warfare but a fire that will consume your own peace and lead you further from the image of Christ. Bring your fears and your anger to God, but leave the judgment to Him. Ask for a right spirit, for eyes to see your own need for grace, and for the love that even prays for enemies. Job’s story did not end with his friends’ theology vindicated or a purge of the wicked from his land; it ended with a humbled man interceding for the very ones who had wronged him. That is the mind you are called to share.
