PSALM 35:23-28 (2026)

PSALM 35:23-28

23 Stir yourself up; stand up for my rights and my cause, my God and my Lord! 24 Declare me innocent, O Lord, my God, according to your justice. Let them not gloat over me. 25 Never give them reason to say, “We have trampled him down!” 26 Let them be utterly disgraced and confounded, who exult over my calamity.

Let them be ashamed and dishonored, who rejoice at my distress.27 But let them be glad and rejoice, who are in sympathy with my cause. And may they ever say, “Great is the Lord, who has justified his servant.” 28 Then will my tongue proclaim your righteousness, and sing your praises all day long.

---- my own,

Every cry and word of distress that you pray to Me through the verses of this psalm I have heard, and at the appointed time I will answer. I hear you. I always hear you. I AM the God of justice, and no power can succeed against My will and My Word. I know all that has brought you to this moment in your life. I know that evil has worked its worst against you, and it will appear that it has succeeded. But do not lose heart. Do not cease praying with praise and thanksgiving, for I AM the Lord and I never sleep. Every cry, every sigh, every tear I have not forgotten; they remain in My Sacred Heart, I will not forget. Those who did you wrong will pay and return to you, in full measure, all that was taken from you through deceit and lies. The time is coming when the wicked will be exposed to the open light of day; they will be crushed and disgraced, and the justice of God will make your innocence known to all, and you will rejoice. The days of the wicked will end, and they will make restitution for the distress they have caused to the innocent. Have faith, the days are coming when you will see the justice of God right every wrong, and you will praise and proclaim to all how the Lord your God worked mightily in your favor, bringing you from sorrow to joy, from darkness to light, from mourning to joyful song. Have faith, pray with confidence, the day of victory and rejoicing is at hand.
