Pray The Word, Psalm 109
- Prayer for Deliverance from Slander and False Accusation
Inspired by: “For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.” (Psalm 109:2)
Righteous God,
You see the lies spoken against me and the words meant to harm me.
I come to You, my Defender and my Truth.
Silence the voice of slander and protect me from deceit.
Let truth be my covering and integrity my shield.
Defend my name, O Lord, for I place my reputation in Your hands.
Amen. - Prayer When Betrayed by Those You Helped
Inspired by: “In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer.” (Psalm 109:4)
Faithful Lord,
Even when I showed love, I was repaid with hatred.
Even when I gave, I was repaid with accusations.
But I turn to You in prayer—not to seek revenge, but to find peace.
Heal my heart and deal with those who wrong me according to Your justice.
Teach me to keep praying, even when I’m wounded.
Amen. - Prayer for God to Take Up Your Cause
Inspired by: “But You, Sovereign Lord, help me for Your name’s sake; out of the goodness of Your love, deliver me.” (Psalm 109:21)
Sovereign Lord,
I call on You—not because I deserve it, but because of Your name and mercy.
Let Your steadfast love be my rescue.
Help me, for I am weak, and my enemies are strong.
Take up my cause, and let my life reflect Your justice and faithfulness.
Amen. - Prayer of Lament for Brokenness and Weakness
Inspired by: “I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.” (Psalm 109:22)
God of Compassion,
You see my wounds and hear my sighs.
I am weary and broken—my soul aches under the weight of grief.
Strengthen me, Lord.
Heal my inner wounds and lift me up with Your mercy.
Do not let me waste away in sorrow.
Amen. - Prayer for Justice Without Vengeance
Inspired by: “Let them know that it is Your hand, that You, O Lord, have done it.” (Psalm 109:27)
Just Judge,
I entrust my pain to You—not seeking vengeance, but justice.
Let it be known that when justice comes, it is from Your hand alone.
Defend me, not so I am glorified, but so Your righteousness is revealed.
Let others see that You care for the oppressed and betrayed.
Amen. - Prayer of Praise While Under Pressure
Inspired by: “With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord; in the great throng of worshipers I will praise Him.” (Psalm 109:30)
God of My Praise,
Even when I am surrounded by opposition, I will lift my voice to You.
I will not be silenced by fear or discouragement.
Let my worship rise above my circumstances.
May my praise testify that You are near to the brokenhearted and faithful to the humble.
Amen. - Prayer of Confidence in God’s Advocacy
Inspired by: “For He stands at the right hand of the needy, to save them from those who condemn them.” (Psalm 109:31)
My Advocate and Defender,
Thank You for standing beside me when others walk away.
You see the silent tears, the unjust judgments, and the hidden battles.
Stand with me in the court of life.
Rescue me from condemnation and remind me that I am never alone.
Amen.
