Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 119

Psalm 119

‎נ Nun

105 Your word is a lamp for my feet,
    a light on my path.

106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it,
    that I will follow your righteous laws.

107 I have suffered much;
    preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

108 Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth,
    and teach me your laws.

109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands,
    I will not forget your law.

110 The wicked have set a snare for me,
    but I have not strayed from your precepts.

111 Your statutes are my heritage forever;
    they are the joy of my heart.

112 My heart is set on keeping your decrees
    to the very end.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

105. Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.
106. I have sworn and confirmed
That I will keep Your righteous judgments.
107. I am afflicted very much;
Revive me, O LORD, according to Your word.
108. Accept, I pray, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD,
And teach me Your judgments.
109. My life is continually in my hand,
Yet I do not forget Your law.
110. The wicked have laid a snare for me,
Yet I have not strayed from Your precepts.
111 Your testimonies I have taken as a heritage forever,
For they are the rejoicing of my heart.
112. I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes Forever, to the very end.

Not to me, Oh LORD, But to You be the Glory!
Nothing is Impossible with You!
Night Closes In, But Your Word is a Shining Light!
Never Shall I Be Afraid, For
Now I Drink Deeply of Your Life-Sustaining Spirit,
Now I Walk With You Daily In Your Word,
New Insights Come to Us Every Morning With Your Precious Word, like
Never Before! How Wonderful You Are! Behold, You Make All Things
New, and Fresh, and Alive. The Wicked rage, and lay their snares, But they have
No Power over me, Because I am in the Shelter of Your Wings.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.



Hallelujah and Amen

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Seven years ago, when I wrote my own Acrostic Tribute to Psalm 119, I learned how DIFFICULT it was! The struggle to get eight appropriate and related verses to carry the theme and have them all begin with the same letter was daunting. For some reason, though, "Nun" came to my mind quickly. Lots of what I call "Absolutist Words" (which I teach when I teach lyric-writing) begin with the Letter "N". They are words that have an absolute meaning, like "NOW!", "NO!" and "NEVER!". There is no mistaking what these words mean. "NO" means "NO".

105. Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

Today's Section, "Nun' (Rhymes With "Noon", sort of, but with a shorter vowel sound), Has Every Verse in the Eight Line Stanza Beginning With the Letter Equivalent to our English "N".

The Original Pictograph of Nun was a Tadpole-like mark, and Represents a Seed, an Heir, or a Son, and has the meaning of Spreading, Fertility, Sprouting, Activity, and Action. The Little Tadpole became a fish in Ancient Lore, because Fish breed and Spread profusely, and the Modern "Nun" Represents a Fish.

This is ironic, because the Arabic "nun" which also looks a bit like a fish, has come to symbolize Christianity, as we see every day on this thread as we pray for persecuted Middle Eastern and African Christians who are suffering to this day under the heel of Islam.

Here is a Great Story I Found over at the Chabad Site about "Nun":

Joshua is called the "Son of Nun" because he is the Spiritual Heir of Moses.
Moses is Indeed, like a Fish, because he was taken up out of the waters of the Nile.
Both Joshua and Moses were Meek and Humble Men.

Here are some Words That Begin With "Nun":

Neshemal=Soul
Ner=Candle
Ne'eman=Faithful One
Nes=Miracle
Navi=Prophet
Navoah=Prophecy

The Numerical Value of Nun is Fifty. Here are some Wonderful Examples of 50 in the Scripture:

50 Days From The First Day of Passover to The First Day of Shavuot (Pentecost)
50 Days From Passover to The Counting of the Omer (Manna in the Desert)

The Nun Stanza Opens with Psalm 119's Most beloved Verse of All:

105. Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

God Bless America!

[Ezekiel]

And 50 years in the reunification of Jerusalem.

City of David.

The ordinal value of nun = 14 = David (דוד)
The name David, transliterated from English to Hebrew = 50 (דייוויד)

Which looks pretty neat when the letters are lined up in alef-beitical order:

דדווייי

[Ezekiel]

It struck me as a funny word. Who knew that David could generate so many letters. These "two Davids" *together* thus refer to the letter meaning posterity.

It goes on, because the letter nun is already associated with King David and the word gold (זהב) via the 14, and gold (golden) is associated with 50.

Jerusalem of Gold (and of David and of 50)
