Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. — Psalm 7:9 KJV
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts. — Psalm 7:9 ASV
Reflection
David’s prayer for God to establish the righteous is a powerful reminder that God supports those who strive to live according to His ways. In times of difficulty or when faced with the wickedness of the world, we are encouraged to stand firm in our faith, knowing that God is on the side of righteousness.
The desire for the end of wickedness reflects a longing for a world where God’s kingdom reigns supreme. As Christians, this aligns with our hope for Christ’s return and the establishment of His eternal kingdom, where there will be no more pain, suffering, or evil.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your righteousness and justice. We ask that You guide us to live in ways that are pleasing to You. Test our hearts and minds, and purify our intentions. We pray for an end to the wickedness in this world and for the establishment of Your righteous kingdom. Help us to trust in Your justice and to remain steadfast in our faith.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
