Battle Prayer Using Only Scripture
O Elohim, You are my Elohim; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You;My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.
So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.
Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips. When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches.
Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice. My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.
But those who seek my life, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
They shall fall by the sword; They shall be a portion for jackals.
Hide me from the conspiracy of evildoers, from the tumult of works
Hide me from the conspiracy of evildoers, from the tumult of workers of iniquity, who sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed their arrow—bitter words, to shoot from hiding at the innocent, shooting suddenly at him, with no fear. They are firming up their evil plan. They talk about setting secret traps.
Adonai, oppose those who oppose me.
Fight those who fight me.
Take hold of shield and buckler,
and rise up to my help.
Draw out also a spear and battle-axe.
Stop those who pursue me.
Say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
May those who seek my life
be ashamed and disgraced.
May they be turned back and humiliated
—those who plot evil against me.
May they be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of Adonai driving them off.
May their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of Adonai pursuing them.
For without cause they hid their net for me,
and without cause they dug a pit for my soul.
Let ruin come upon him by surprise.
Let the net he hid entangle himself
—into that same pit let him fall.
Arise, awaken to my defense, to my cause—my Elohim and my Adonai! Vindicate me, Adonai my Elohim, according to Your justice, and do not let them gloat over me.
May they be ashamed and humiliated, those who rejoice over my misery. May they who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
On the wicked He will rain down fire, brimstone and scorching wind as the portion of their cup
Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword….
You drew me out of mighty waters, you saved me from my powerful enemy,
I went through fire and water, yet You brought me out to superabundance….
How awesome are Your deeds!
Blessed be Elohim, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His lovingkindness from me,
Let Elohim arise! Let His enemies be scattered! Let those who hate Him flee before Him. As smoke is blown away, may You blow them away. As wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before Elohim.
A father of orphans, defender of widows, Elohim of deliverance,
I will praise Elohim’s Name with a song, and magnify Him with praise. It will please Adonai…
The humble will see it and be glad.
For Adonai hears the needy and does not despise His captive people.
Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything moving in them.
In You, Adonai, have I taken refuge. Let me never be ashamed.
Deliver me and rescue me in Your justice. Turn Your ear to me and save me.
Be to me a sheltering rock where I may always go. Give the command to save me—for You are my rock and my fortress.
My Elohim, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of an evil, ruthless man.
For You are my hope, Adonai my Adonai
You took me out of my mother’s womb. You are my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your glory all day.
You divided the sea by Your strength;
You broke the heads of the sea serpents in the waters. You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces,
And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. You broke open the fountain and the flood; You dried up mighty rivers.
The voice of Adonai is over the waters, Elohim of Glory Thunders (repeat 3x’s)
My accusers will be clothed in disgrace, and wrapped in shame as in a cloak,
Keep me from the jaws of the trap they have laid for me, and from the snares of the evildoers, let the wicked fall in their own nets, while I pass by safely
Blessed be Adonai my Rock,
Who trains my hands for war,
And my fingers for battle—
My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer,
