A Prayer for Israel and God's Children

Here is Psalm 83, which is very fitting for the times we live in. As Iran continues to vow to "wipe Israel off the map", here a prayer that I am sending up, not only for our sister nation of Israel, but for all of God's children that are living in the world today...Let us all utter this prayer that was first uttered by King David:

Psa 83:1
O God, do not remain quiet; Do not be silent and, O God, do not be still.
Psa 83:2
For behold, Your enemies make an uproar, And those who hate You have exalted themselves.
Psa 83:3
They make shrewd plans against Your people, And conspire together against Your treasured ones.
Psa 83:4
They have said, "Come, and let us wipe them out as a nation, That the name of Israel be remembered no more."
Psa 83:5
For they have conspired together with one mind; Against You they make a covenant:
Psa 83:6
The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagrites;
Psa 83:7
Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Psa 83:8
Assyria also has joined with them; They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.
Psa 83:9
Deal with them as with Midian, As with Sisera {and} Jabin at the torrent of Kishon,
Psa 83:10
Who were destroyed at En-dor, Who became as dung for the ground.
Psa 83:11
Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb And all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
Psa 83:12
Who said, "Let us possess for ourselves The pastures of God."
Psa 83:13
O my God, make them like the whirling dust, Like chaff before the wind.
Psa 83:14
Like fire that burns the forest And like a flame that sets the mountains on fire,
Psa 83:15
So pursue them with Your tempest And terrify them with Your storm.
Psa 83:16
Fill their faces with dishonor, That they may seek Your name, O LORD.
Psa 83:17
Let them be ashamed and dismayed forever, And let them be humiliated and perish,
Psa 83:18
That they may know that You alone, whose name is the LORD, Are the Most High over all the earth.

Amen.
