Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 142

Psalm 142[a]

A maskil[b] of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer.

1 I cry aloud to the Lord;
    I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy.
2 I pour out before him my complaint;
    before him I tell my trouble.

3 When my spirit grows faint within me,
    it is you who watch over my way.
In the path where I walk
    people have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;
    no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
    no one cares for my life.

5 I cry to you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my refuge,
    my portion in the land of the living.”

6 Listen to my cry,
    for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
    for they are too strong for me.
7 Set me free from my prison,
    that I may praise your name.
Then the righteous will gather about me
    because of your goodness to me.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father in Heaven,
How Blessed and Wonderful is Your Most Holy Name!
How Magnificent,
How Holy,
How Sanctified and Glorious!
When I Awake in the Morning,
You Are There.
All through the day,
You Are With me.
And When I go to Sleep at Night,
You Are Still Watching Over Us All.
For You Neither Slumber Nor Sleep.

1. I cry out to the LORD with my voice;
With my voice to the LORD I make my supplication.
2. I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare before Him my trouble.

I love You, LORD
because You have heard My voice and my supplications.
Because You Have inclined Your ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon You as long as I live.

3. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
Then You knew my path.
In the way in which I walk
They have secretly set a snare for me.
4. Look on my right hand and see,
For there is no one who acknowledges me;
Refuge has failed me;
No one cares for my soul.

How Wonderful You Are!
Although You Are The Creator,
The Great Designer of The Galaxies,
The Omnipotent Master of The Universe,
You Hear my Voice!
How We Love You, LORD!
For even when it seems that nobody is listening,
You Are There,
And You Will Never Fail Your Beloved.

5. I cried out to You, O LORD:
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6. Attend to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
7. Bring my soul out of prison,
That I may praise Your name;
The righteous shall surround me,
For You shall deal bountifully with me.”

And According to Your Will and Your Promise.
We Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem,
For Israel,
and For Our our Beloved America.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Musical Notes at the Beginning of this Psalm explain that it was written by David "While hiding in a cave". People with even a casual knowledge of the Scriptures know that David was providing "Music Therapy" for King Saul and was a faithful servant of the king, but Saul became insanely jealous of him, and threatened his life a number of times. David had to flee to the wilderness, even taking up with the Philistines for a time, to preserve his life.

David wrote some magnificent Psalms during that dark time, and they have been preserved for us in the Canon of Scripture.

Often, through no fault of our own, we find ourselves in a dark place. It could be the loss of a job, a friendship, a loved one, or even our own personal safety. David knows, that in times like these, there is only ONE place to turn...to the Lord.

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

God Bless America!

"Often, through no fault of our own, we find ourselves in a dark place. It could be the loss of a job, a friendship, a loved one, or even our own personal safety. David knows, that in times like these, there is only ONE place to turn...to the Lord."

Lord You knew the times we would be in before the earth's foundations. You preserved this Word so that we could boldly turn to You not just in times of trouble, but in times of blessing.

The soldier in the picture has one hand on the wall, the other on his weapon, a symbol that as we drink from You we also are to be alert to the enemy's devices.

And Father, may each of us in the Body have one another's backs, the one area of vulnerability. I would like to lift up the creator of this thread to You that she would be strengthened in her faith through Your love and care for her.

Where the Psalm reads no one cares for our soul, we pray you would bring true and faithful fellowship her way. Meet all of her needs in Christ Jesus today. Cause blessings to spill over her in return to her one hundred times over, A-men.

You could say David’s musical writings in the cave were the first “Cliff Notes.” ;)

I noticed that you had italics in your post, which necessitated html tags. That automatically will cause your link not to work unless you use the right tags on it as well.

Don’t feel bad. It took me a long time to figure it out! :-)

AND, if one does not have “quick-time” updated or activated on one’s own device, it won’t work either.

(((sigh)))

I just found that out the hard way. LOL!

[givemWatts]

by then the meaning gets lost, oh well thanks for trying.

I could do the laugh pretty well, but no way to send that either

Code is Code, and sometimes it makes no sense to me either.

But it is what it is.
