1 The king’s heart is in the hand of Jehovah as the watercourses: He turneth it whithersoever he will.


Lord the hearts of these representatives are in your hands, just like running water. We pray that you would direct them to perform justice.


2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes; But Jehovah weigheth the hearts.



Lord, even those who committed fraud to steal the election think they are right. Lord we pray you would weigh the hearts.


3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to Jehovah than sacrifice.



Lord open our eyes to see that Christians standing for righteousness is acceptable in your eyes.


4 A high look, and a proud heart, Even the lamp of the wicked, is sin.



Lord convict the arrogant ones who think that 75 million Americans who voted for Trump are “morons” or “chumps” or “deplorables”. Open our eyes to appreciate our neighbor. Lord thank you that there are people standing for righteousness and justice for my sake, even if I don’t appreciate them.


5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.



Lord open our eyes to see your word is full of light, full of life, full of blessing.


6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death.



Lord this election fraud is a vapor, we pray you would breathe on it.


7 The violence of the wicked shall sweep them away, Because they refuse to do justice.



Lord we have prayed for them to repent, we have prayed that they would do justice, they have refused. They have refused to comply with court mandated audits. We pray that you would sweep them away.


8 The way of him that is laden with guilt is exceeding crooked; But as for the pure, his work is right.



Lord, what we have seen is exceedingly crooked. Hillary’s emails were concerning selling uranium to Russia. She was using a private server so that it would not become a public record and yet she was coded into Obama’s blackberry so He also knew what she was doing and approved it. That is crooked, but then it gets exceedingly crooked. Once her emails were discovered she feared Trump would reveal them so she concocted the Pee Pee hoax so that if he released emails between her and others concerning the sale to Russia she could claim he was colluding with Russia. Lord I thank you that it will be your job to judge.


9 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.



These last four years we have seen what it is like to be the President in a wide house but having to abide with a contentious woman. Lord, this punishment has been on the whole country to have to listen to this day by day.


10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: His neighbor findeth no favor in his eyes. Lord we have seen this.



People who are against capitalism are not against the corporate giants like Amazon.com or Google, no they are smashing windows of the pizzeria and cleaners. The people who are against the malfeasance of law enforcement are not against the FBI and those who tap your phone but they are against the little policeman in your neighborhood trying to keep you safe. They are attacking their neighbor, they desire evil, Lord weigh their hearts.


11 When the scoffer is punished, the simple is made wise; And when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 12 The righteous man considereth the house of the wicked, How the wicked are overthrown to their ruin.



Every contact leaves a trace. Yes, Pelosi was speaker of the house, one of the most powerful women in America but now the spotlight is on her for appointing Swalwell to the intelligence committee. Yes, Biden got millions from China and profited greatly but the day comes when the entire world sees your sins and shame. He may have considered himself “the big guy” but he will become the focus of derision and scorn.


13 Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard.



Lord what are they doing with this shutdown? How are they playing politics with the stimulus money? The poor are crying, they have shut their ears, so Lord I pray that you also would not hear their cry.


14 A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath.



I have heard numerous calls for the insurrection act and for martial law, and that is just today. There is strong wrath in this country, not to just “primary” those who are not acting but to recall them. Lord open the eyes to the strong wrath or else we will have a civil war.


15 It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.



There are so many standing for righteousness. Courage is contagious. But it is also a joy and a comfort within to know you are right with the Lord.


16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead.



This is a very dangerous time, Lord keep us in You, keep us in the way, keep us in the word.
 
17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

Lord, lead us not into temptation.

18 The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.

Amen Lord, thy will be done. As you have promised let it be done unto your servants.

19 It is better to dwell in a desert land, Than with a contentious and fretful woman.

Agreed. Why allow Youtube and Facebook and Twitter to censor you and tell you what to think. There are other platforms that by comparison may be a desert land but at least you are not dwelling with a contentious and fretful woman.

20 There is precious treasure and oil in the dwelling of the wise; But a foolish man swalloweth it up.

Lord save us from these fools like AOC. Yes, climate change is an issue, but giving AOC $100 trillion dollars is allowing the foolish man to swallow up our treasure.

21 He that followeth after righteousness and kindness Findeth life, righteousness, and honor.

Thank you Lord that there are still men and women like this today.

22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And bringeth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

Lord thank you for your wisdom, the cross of Christ is the strategy that will bring down the city of the mighty.

23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.

Lord thank you for warning us about social media. We have seen so many fall into this trap and bring troubles on themselves.

24 The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.

These tech giants have been exposed, working in the arrogance of pride. We have seen they use algorithms to force feed people what they want them to see, to not let them see what they don’t want them to see, and to punish anyone who disagrees with them. Lord, weigh the hearts.

25 The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.

Lord there is a much bigger privilege than white privilege, it is the privilege of living in the USA. This is the land that you made a covenant with us when the Pilgrims came here. You taught us that the Puritan ethic of labor would be rewarded.

26 There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

Lord we here these ones in the street calling for reparations every day. Again, you know all, you know who gives and withholds not, you see the poor widows casting all their living in to help others.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!

Lord you are the one who knows the mind of man. Zuckerberg gave $400 million to tilt the scales in the election. He chose to violate laws to accomplish this end. Lord we trust in You to judge.

28 A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.

Lord, the NY Times is a false witness. They pretended a clerk was a high level administration official as an anonymous source in order to smear the executive office. Twitter and Facebook are false witnesses, censoring critical stories concerning Biden for false and deceitful reasons. We pray that you would remember your word.

29 A wicked man hardeneth his face; But as for the upright, he establisheth his ways.

Lord we saw a wicked person harden their face in the Michigan hearings, the representative from Detroit. We heard her threats. Lord we pray you would establish our ways.

30 There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Jehovah.

Lord keep us in You. You are the guarantee of victory.

31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.
Lord we have prepared ourselves for this day of battle, so we give it all to You because the victory is of You. May we listen and be attentive to the words You speak.
