Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Book of Psalms

Psalm 145

Psalm 145[a]

A psalm of praise. Of David.

1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
    and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.[b]
6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—
    and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness
    and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
    slow to anger and rich in love.

9 The Lord is good to all;
    he has compassion on all he has made.
10 All your works praise you, Lord;
    your faithful people extol you.
11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom
    and speak of your might,
12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
    and faithful in all he does.[c]
14 The Lord upholds all who fall
    and lifts up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food at the proper time.
16 You open your hand
    and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways
    and faithful in all he does.
18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
    he hears their cry and saves them.
20 The Lord watches over all who love him,
    but all the wicked he will destroy.

21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
    Let every creature praise his holy name
    for ever and ever.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Yesterday, I spoke of the almost rowdy and unbridled enthusiasm that comes over a crowd when their favorite musician or sports hero delivers a particularly awesome performance. It is not a planned response, nor is it something we have to "save up" for the moment, so that we will have enough praise and enthusiasm to fit the event. We don't have to practice cheering, or rehearse our response. It's just "there" when we need it.

The Last Five Psalms in the Canon are like that. They are songs of unabashed Praise for the Creator, the King of the Universe, Our Wonderful, Awesome Father in Heaven!

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

God Bless America!

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and Peace in the World

[Ezekiel]

A psalm of praise. Of David.

1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
    and extol your name for ever and ever.

The key of the house of David is the key to the kingdom: what David chose to do (what was in his heart, his inclination).

Melchi-tzedek = my king is righteousness.

What is king in a person's life is what rules his day, his business, his heart... what determines his behavior. Hence the idioms "Where x is king". Who wants to live in a world where lawlessness is king? Even the lawless don't want to be victimized by their own kind.

The "order" of Melchizedek was his business, his word, his manner. This is a different concept that some literal [ritual] order, like the rotating courses and set duties of the Levitical priests. Melchizedek's manner (order) was his very identity, hence the name, "my king is Tzedek (righteousness, charity).

David - his songs of praise are songs of love. These are outward manifestations of the Shema which describes David's perfect heart, because David talked and sang about God continuously. All day every day. That *is* the classic symptom of being in love. Your initial graphic in this thread summed it up: the shield of David within his heart. - what (who) guarded and defended his heart.

God said to David "I love you", and David said to God "I love you". David means beloved. Ani l'dodi v'dodi li: I am my "David" and my "David" is mine. David, like Melchizedek, *is* his name. "Be loved."

Shir ha-ahavah (שיר האהבה), a "song of love" = 528 = mafte'ach מפתח (key).
528 is the sum of the numbers 1-32. Heart = lev (לב) = 32.
(There's always a simple mathematical base/principle, which functions as a mnemonic.)

The key (528) to the heart (32) is the sum of the numbers leading right to the heart, 1 to 32. 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5... [n(n + 1)]/2

The key to gate of righeousness is the key to the house of David which is love. Love is patient, love is kind... love does no harm. Love is righeousness. And tzedaka is charity. It could explain why in the King James, the word charity is used for the verb love in 1 Cor 13.

Charity (love) as described there is a long list of actions, "works". But it's no work at all if it is love.

Genesis 29:20 And Jacob served [worked] seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.

It was Rachel Imenu who died and was buried (planted) on the way to Bethlehem, the birthplace of David, which is "Ephrata", which means fruition, fruitfulness.

Bethlehem is literally the "house of bread". A bakery as it were. Bread made with dead yeast (leaven that is dead) is bad for business, at least in a free market.

When love is planted, it sprouts, grows, and then bears fruit of like kind. Accept no substitutes.

Matthew 7

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

~ King David

Great is the Lord and most worthy of love;
    his love no one can fathom.
One generation commends your loving works to another;
    they tell of your mighty love.
They speak of the glorious splendor of your love—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful love.

~ Ezekiel

narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life

Tzedaka is given in multiples of 18, symbolic of chai... life.

Beautiful song of a mother's love:

13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.

16 Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.
