We live in this godless world and this means at times we can be surrounded by corruption and injustice. Sometimes it looks like God’s people and God’s standards are being driven into the ground. Yet Jesus told us to call heaven’s standards down to earth and Psalms 74 gives us the particulars when it comes to injustice and corruption. Let’s pray this prayer crafted from Psalms 74 and let the kingdom come driving out injustices before us!

Prayer

Father, help! We’re being destroyed and beaten! The God-mockers rout us! The wicked rule the world. Do something! Do anything! You’re the only One that’s able to correct and rectify the situation. No one else has the power to change anything. Lord, I appeal to Your name! You’re compassionate, loving and just! Bring Your kingdom! Does Your covenant mean anything to You? Do Your promises motivate You? In faith, I know they do! Now move, O Lord, and defend Your cause and people. Bring the justice of the Kingdom in Jesus name, amen.

Psalms 74:1-23

O God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture? Remember the nation you purchased long ago, the people of your inheritance, whom you redeemed— Mount Zion, where you dwelt. Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins, all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary. Your foes roared in the place where you met with us; they set up their standards as signs. They behaved like men wielding axes to cut through a thicket of trees. They smashed all the carved paneling with their axes and hatchets. They burned your sanctuary to the ground; they defiled the dwelling place of your Name. They said in their hearts, “We will crush them completely!” They burned every place where God was worshiped in the land. We are given no signs from God; no prophets are left, and none of us knows how long this will be. How long will the enemy mock you, God? Will the foe revile your name forever? Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand? Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!

But God is my King from long ago; he brings salvation on the earth. It was you who split open the sea by your power; you broke the heads of the monster in the waters. It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert. It was you who opened up springs and streams; you dried up the ever-flowing rivers. The day is yours, and yours also the night; you established the sun and moon. It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter. Remember how the enemy has mocked you, Lord, how foolish people have reviled your name. Do not hand over the life of your dove to wild beasts; do not forget the lives of your afflicted people forever. Have regard for your covenant, because haunts of violence fill the dark places of the land. Do not let the oppressed retreat in disgrace; may the poor and needy praise your name. Rise up, O God, and defend your cause; remember how fools mock you all day long. Do not ignore the clamor of your adversaries, the uproar of your enemies, which rises continually.
