The Prayer of an Innocent Person[y]

17Listen, O LORD, to my plea for justice; pay attention to my cry for help! Listen to my honest prayer.H8605H1732H8085H6664H3068H7181H7440H238H8605H3808H4820H81932You will judge in my favor, because you know what is right.H4941H3318H6440H5869H2372H43393You know my heart. You have come to me at night; you have examined me completely and found no evil desire in me. I speak no evil,H974H3820H6485H3915H6884H4672H2161H6310H56744as others do; I have obeyed your command and have not followed paths of violence.H6468H120H1697H8193H8104H734H65305I have always walked in your way and have never strayed from it.H8551H838H4570H6471H41316I pray to you, O God, because you answer me; so turn to me and listen to my words.H7121H6030H410H5186H241H8085H5657Reveal your wonderful love and save me; at your side I am safe from my enemies.H6395H2617H3467H3225H2620H69658Protect me as you would your very eyes; hide me in the shadow of your wingsH8104H380H1323H5869H5641H6738H36719from the attacks of the wicked. Deadly enemies surround me;H6440H7563H2098H7703H5315H341H536210they have no pity and speak proudly.H5462H2459H6310H1696H134811They are around me now, wherever I turn, watching for a chance to pull me down.H5437H838H7896H5869H5186H77612They are like lions, waiting for me, wanting to tear me to pieces.H1825H738H3700H2963H3715H3427H456513Come, LORD! Oppose my enemies and defeat them! Save me from the wicked by your sword;H6965H3068H6923H6440H3766H6403H5315H7563H271914save me from those who in this life have all they want. Punish them with the sufferings you have stored up for them; may there be enough for their children and some left over for their children's children!H4962H3027H3068H4962H2465H2506H2416H990H4390H6840H7646H1121H3240H3499H576815But I will see you, because I have done no wrong; and when I awake, your presence will fill me with joy.H2372H6440H6664H7646H6974H8544

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
