PSALM 135 THE LORD IS THE VINDICATOR
8 He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and of beast;
9 who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10 who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings,
11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan
and all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel.
13 Your name, O LORD, endures forever, your renown,
O LORD, throughout all ages.
14 For the LORD will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants. – Psalm 135:8-14

GOD VINDICATES HIS PEOPLE by ILMA
The Lord God is faithful to defend and protect his people
He is full of compassion and never lets down his servants
Remember how the Lord punished the Egyptians
He also struck Pharaoh, the Amorites and the Canaanites
All the kings who competed with him were all defeated
To think they have power to compete with God, is foolishness
All you faithful saints, do not fear for God is your vindicator
The Lord keeps his promise to protect and rescue his loved ones
Your name, O Lord endures forever, it is the name above all names
We bow down to you alone our Lord Almighty, our majestic God
Keep us always dependent on you alone and be fearless
We praise you Lord for you are our defender and fortress.

REFLECTION
• Why should believers not be quick to react or defend themselves?
• Why is defense of the self an open door for the enemy to attack a believer?
