Psalm 55:9, 10 Lord, confuse the wicked, confound their words for, I see violence and strife in the city. Day and night they prowl about on its walls; malice and abuse are within it.
Like the previous psalm, Psalm 55 is by David and is to be sung but there is no indication as to when he wrote it. It is a prayer offered up, however, in great distress and anxiety. At this point the prayer is that the Lord will confound and confuse the wicked. It is a prayer of imprecation, a sort of prayer that we often find in the psalms. There is still a place for prayers of imprecation today as still today in the city we see violence and strife and there is malice and abuse. Day and night evil people prowl about everywhere. Pray for the defeat of evil then. Pray against the devil and against all who promote evil. pray the prayer we have here, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
