A prayer for YAHUAH to judge secret plots. It tells us not to answer crooked counsel with rage, pride, or another scheme.

Lyrics

You ain't gotta outscheme the schemers
You ain't gotta outtalk the liars
Take it to YAHUAH
Let the crooked counsel choke on itself

Not my rage
Not my hand
Not my pride
Not my plan
We The Assembly

Let them fall by their own counsel
Let the crooked table turn
Let the net they hid in secret
Be the place their falsehood burn
Let them fall by their own counsel
Let their whispers lose the ground
YAHUAH see the hidden plotting
He can turn the whole thing round

They smile with velvet scheme in smoke
Soft with the lips but the inward broke
No faith in the mouth just a polished plea
Open grave talk underneath the teeth
I seen how crooked counsel dress up clean
White glove lie with a practiced sheen
One hand wave one hand hide the blade
One nod public one snare backstage
But I ain't built to rent that tone
I won't let their darkness frame my bones
I take it up where the morning hear
Direct my prayer then look up clear
Cause You hate deceit You hate that blood
You judge what's buried beneath the mud
If what they built rebelled on You
Then let it cave by what they do

Psalms chapter five verses eight through twelve
Lead me O YAHUAH in thy righteousness because of mine enemies
For there is no faithfulness in their mouth
Destroy thou them O ALUAH
Let them fall by their own counsels
Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice
With favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield

They hold their meeting in a hidden room
Bitter words aimed like a bow in gloom
Private snares with a public grin
Whole plot stitched from a studied sin
Who gon' see
That's how the proud men talk
Till YAHUAH light hit every chalk
Till the same tongue sharpened for the kill
Fold on itself by the Judge's will
They searched out faults with a patient hand
Thinking the poor wouldn't understand
Digging a pit with a careful pace
Writing a lie with a borrowed face
But You preserve from the fear of man
You shoot one arrow and expose the plan
When secret counsel start to crack
All flesh go still and step right back

Psalms chapter sixty four verses two through eight
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked
They whet their tongue like a sword
They commune of laying snares privily
But ALUAH shall shoot at them with an arrow
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves

Not my rage
Not my hand
Not my pride
Not my plan
You see deep
You see through
Turn it back
If it ain't true
No revenge
No fake peace
Just Your judgment
Over hidden speech

So guard my mouth and keep me clean
Don't let me eat where the crooked scheme
Don't let me sit at a poison table
Or borrow that tone just cause I'm able
Leave me not to their counsels YAH
Turn proud looks down break haughty law
If I speak let it come out weighed
Seasoned short and rightly placed
Cause vengeance ain't me rehearsing hurt
It's You returning the hidden work
Throne of mischief can't sit with You
No lie-made law stay righteous through
You bring iniquity back in sight
Cut it off in its own dark night
So let the wicked fall in what they spread
While mercy still cover my lifted head
And if their net got my name in thread
Let it tear where their own hand led

Fall by their own counsel
If the Book taught you not to mirror the snare say it
Barak YAHUAH
If you learning to let crooked counsel cave on itself say it
We The Assembly
We pray it up and let YAH judge it down

Sirach chapter twenty three verse one
O YAHUAH Father and Governor of all my whole life
Leave me not to their counsels
And let me not fall by them

Psalms chapter ninety four verses twenty two through twenty three
YAHUAH is my defence
He shall bring upon them their own iniquity
Yea YAHUAH our ALUAH shall cut them off

Let them fall by their own counsel
Let the crooked table turn
Let the net they hid in secret
Be the place their falsehood burn
Let them fall by their own counsel
Let their whispers lose the ground
YAHUAH see the hidden plotting
He can turn the whole thing round

Crooked counsel don't stand
Not when YAHUAH judge it
Not when truth outlive the plot
We The Assembly
