Prayer of Degree




The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the Name of the God of Jacob defend thee;

They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that Thou hast done it: Thou wilt bring the day that Thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.

Let all their wickedness come before Thee; and do unto them, as Thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.


But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and misused His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy.

Therefore shall their calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall they be broken without remedy.

I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.


Set Thou a wicked man over them: and let Satan stand at their right hand.

When they shall be judged, let them be condemned: and let their prayer become sin.

Let their days be few; and let another take their office.

Let their children be parentless, and their spouse a widow.

Let their children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Let the extortioner catch all that they hath; and let the strangers spoil their labour.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto them: neither let there be any to favour their fatherless children.

Let their posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

Let the iniquity of their fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of their mother be blotted out.

Let them be before the LORD continually, that they may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil person: seek out their wickedness till thou find none.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.


The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.

And they that know Thy name will put their trust in Thee: for Thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.

That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes.

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.


The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:

The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.


Amen and Amen and Amen
