Are You Oppressed?

If you feel oppressed by other people, let the following Psalm offers you an avenue of comfort and strength in the knowledge that God watches over us and He is the avenger of the righteous.

Psalm 64 King James Version (KJV)

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
10 The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

In your low state, the transition will come when God intervenes like in verse 7 "But God shall shoot at them with an arrow...". So don't let not-good persons keep you down as they are also subject to a higher power -- God Himself.

Maintain a righteous walk and treat other people well no matter what. God is the One who judges and vindicates. Call upon Him and He will hear your plight so as to help you. Don't despair; God is your refuge and strength, a very present help in time of difficulty. Don't give up, look up to Him for the help you need.
