Bittgebet um Kraft und Hilfe gegen Feinde

1 Ein Psalm Davids. HERR, höre mein Bittgebet, vernimm doch mein Flehen, in deiner Treue antworte mir, in deiner Gerechtigkeit! 2 Geh mit deinem Knecht nicht ins Gericht; denn keiner, der lebt, ist gerecht vor dir! (Hi 4,17; Hi 9,2; Hi 25,4; Ps 130,3; Pred 7,20)

Hi 4,17Hi 9,2Hi 25,4Ps 130,3Pred 7,20

3 Ja, der Feind verfolgte mich, / trat mein Leben zu Boden, ließ mich in tiefer Finsternis wohnen wie längst Verstorbene. (Kla 3,6) 4 Daher schwand mir mein Lebensgeist, mein Herz erstarrt in meinem Innern. (Hi 17,1; Ps 142,4) 5 Ich gedachte der Tage der Vorzeit, / erwog all deine Taten, ich sinne nach über das Werk deiner Hände. (Ps 77,6) 6 Ausgebreitet habe ich meine Hände zu dir, wie erschöpftes Land ist vor dir meine Seele. [Sela] (Ps 42,2) 7 Eile, HERR, gib mir Antwort, denn es erlischt mein Lebensgeist! Verbirg vor mir nicht dein Angesicht, sonst gleiche ich denen, die hinabfahren in die Grube. (Ps 28,1; Ps 69,18; Ps 88,5; Ps 102,3)

Ps 28,1Ps 69,18Ps 88,5Ps 102,3

8 Lass mich am Morgen deine Huld erfahren, denn auf dich vertraute ich! Lass mich den Weg erkennen, den ich gehen soll, denn zu dir erhob ich meine Seele! (Ps 25,1; Ps 90,14) 9 Entreiß mich meinen Feinden, HERR zu dir nehme ich meine Zuflucht!^[1] 10 Lehre mich tun, was dir gefällt, / denn du bist mein Gott! Dein guter Geist leite mich auf ebenem Land. (Ps 119,1) 11 Um deines Namens willen, HERR, wirst du mich am Leben erhalten, / wirst du mich herausführen in deiner Gerechtigkeit aus der Drangsal meiner Seele. 12 In deiner Huld wirst du meine Feinde vernichten, / du wirst zugrunde gehen lassen alle Bedränger meiner Seele, weil ich dein Knecht bin. (Ps 54,7)

Preghiera di liberazione

1 Salmo di Davide. Signore, ascolta la mia preghiera, porgi orecchio alle mie suppliche; nella tua fedeltà e nella tua giustizia, rispondimi, 2 e non chiamare in giudizio il tuo servo, perché nessun vivente sarà trovato giusto davanti a te. 3 Poiché il nemico perseguita l’anima mia; egli calpesta al suolo la mia vita; mi fa abitare in luoghi tenebrosi come coloro che sono morti già da lungo tempo. 4 Il mio spirito è abbattuto in me, il mio cuore è tutto smarrito dentro di me. 5 Ricordo i giorni antichi; medito su tutte le tue azioni; rifletto sull’opera delle tue mani. 6 Tendo le mani verso di te; l’anima mia, come arida terra, è assetata di te. [Pausa] 7 Affrèttati a rispondermi, Signore; lo spirito mio viene meno; non nascondermi il tuo volto, perché io non diventi simile a quelli che scendono nella tomba. 8 Al mattino fammi udire la tua bontà, perché in te confido; fammi conoscere la via da seguire, poiché io elevo l’anima mia a te. 9 Liberami dai miei nemici, Signore; io cerco rifugio in te. 10 Insegnami a fare la tua volontà, poiché tu sei il mio Dio; il tuo Spirito benevolo mi guidi in terra piana. 11 Signore, fammi vivere per amore del tuo nome; nella tua giustizia libera l’anima mia dalla tribolazione! 12 Nella tua bontà distruggi i miei nemici, fa’ perire tutti quelli che opprimono l’anima mia, perché io sono tuo servo.
