Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

(Music in The Bible)

Psalm 109

Psalm 109

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1 My God, whom I praise,
    do not remain silent,
2 for people who are wicked and deceitful
    have opened their mouths against me;
    they have spoken against me with lying tongues.
3 With words of hatred they surround me;
    they attack me without cause.
4 In return for my friendship they accuse me,
    but I am a man of prayer.
5 They repay me evil for good,
    and hatred for my friendship.

6 Appoint someone evil to oppose my enemy;
    let an accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is tried, let him be found guilty,
    and may his prayers condemn him.
8 May his days be few;
    may another take his place of leadership.
9 May his children be fatherless
    and his wife a widow.
10 May his children be wandering beggars;
    may they be driven[a] from their ruined homes.
11 May a creditor seize all he has;
    may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor.
12 May no one extend kindness to him
    or take pity on his fatherless children.
13 May his descendants be cut off,
    their names blotted out from the next generation.
14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord;
    may the sin of his mother never be blotted out.
15 May their sins always remain before the Lord,
    that he may blot out their name from the earth.

16 For he never thought of doing a kindness,
    but hounded to death the poor
    and the needy and the brokenhearted.
17 He loved to pronounce a curse—
    may it come back on him.
He found no pleasure in blessing—
    may it be far from him.
18 He wore cursing as his garment;
    it entered into his body like water,
    into his bones like oil.
19 May it be like a cloak wrapped about him,
    like a belt tied forever around him.
20 May this be the Lord’s payment to my accusers,
    to those who speak evil of me.

21 But you, Sovereign Lord,
    help me for your name’s sake;
    out of the goodness of your love, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy,
    and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I fade away like an evening shadow;
    I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees give way from fasting;
    my body is thin and gaunt.
25 I am an object of scorn to my accusers;
    when they see me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, Lord my God;
    save me according to your unfailing love.
27 Let them know that it is your hand,
    that you, Lord, have done it.
28 While they curse, may you bless;
    may those who attack me be put to shame,
    but may your servant rejoice.
29 May my accusers be clothed with disgrace
    and wrapped in shame as in a cloak.

30 With my mouth I will greatly extol the Lord;
    in the great throng of worshipers I will praise him.
31 For he stands at the right hand of the needy,
    to save their lives from those who would condemn them.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY TO THE GARDEN OF PRAYER FOR JERUSALEM!

I can't believe it's been TEN YEARS since we began coming together to pray on this thread! On this special occasion, I would like to share with you how I came to join FR, and, barely eight months after joining, starting this Thread. Some of the people involved are still making news today, as you will soon see.

From 9/11/01 onward, I was very active on the Internet, seeking out conservative commentary and listening to Talk Radio. (Of course, Rush was my favorite, but I also listened to Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and others. Soon I signed up onto a conservative (I thought) GOP site, and became a regular writer on the site. I was kind of a "smart-aleck" (who ME??) and got into trouble with the Administrator on more than one occasion, but generally got along well with everybody.

Then came the 2008 Primaries. Just like here on our own beloved FR, Primary Season causes a lot of rancor. Having been a Massachusetts resident all my life, I despised Romney and refused to vote for him. I voted for Giuliani in the Republican Primary, and was roundly excoriated for it. I had plenty to say about Romney and had a number of my posts removed. Then Obama got elected. I promptly named him "The Lyin' King" and was once again chastised roundly for disrespecting the office of President. "Instead of calling him names", I was scolded, "I should be PRAYING for him."

So I tried and tried, but the prayers wouldn't come. I was on The Presidential Prayer Team, which was also sending me emails and pamphlets telling me I should pray for this president, but I just couldn't. My fail, I guess.

Anyway, I was out driving and saw this bumper-sticker:

PRAY FOR OBAMA PSALM 109:8.

I went home and looked it up and got today's Psalm (and no, I did NOT plan this!) Well, I thought it was the funniest thing, so I posted it on the GOP site.

Well, you would think I had burned a Bible and a Flag at the same time! Man did I get trashed! And that is when I "left that other site" and joined Free Republic.

Now, let's look at the characters in my story: Rudy Giuliani, Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney, and Obama. Some of these characters have been elevated to positions of honor, and others have been put to shame. As in Psalm 109, another has taken Obama's office. The establishment GOP has shown themselves to be less-than-conservative. That "other site" is a shadow of its former self, and FR is going strong, is member-supported, and STILL does not have annoying pop-up ads. (That Other Site is nearly unreadable with the ads now). Romney has proven me right, and Rudy too. False accusers have been exposed, and my prayers have been answered.

The election of Donald Trump has also brought more answers to prayer. One of the first things he did was move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. I've been praying for that since 1984! Bringing home the remains of our Korean War Vets was another biggie for me, since I was born during that war, in which my Dad fought. And I rejoiced when President Trump finally "took out" the mastermind of Iranian Terrorism, something we've been waiting for since 1979.

The crowning glory was, in my opinion, President Trump's speech at the March for Life. Lot's of presidents SAID they were Pro-Life, but nobody except Trump put his money where his mouth was.

Is is any wonder there is an army of slanderers, false accusers, libelers, liars, and just plain evil jerks constantly growling and snapping at the President? Satan never sleeps, and he uses these weak-minded people to do his bidding. And while we are admonished to "pray for those in authority" (1 Timothy 2:2), I can't imagine that Our Lord intended for us to pray for evil to flourish.

And that's why I "left that other site" and started this thread! And who would have guessed that Psalm 109 would come up TODAY of all days. To quote Dear Rush, "You Can't Make This Stuff Up!"

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

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

God did! But He didn't guess. . .He knew in advance.

I'm glad you clarified "left that other site" . . .I thought it was because you use to be a loony liberal and was a regular on one of their sites. Ha Ha!

Good thing you recognized what “that other site” was all about and exited stage right.

[NEWwoman]

What a decade!

I had voted for Romney and McCain considering the other choice was Obama. (What a disappointment.)

I really started praying this country before the 2012 election. God answered in mysterious ways.

Joining in prayer, left that other site, for the Peace of Jerusalem.

And prayer for our beloved America.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!

"King David In Prayer"
Pieter de Grebber

OLD not thy peace, O God of my praise; 2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 3 They compassed me about also with words

of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

26 Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, LORD, hast done it.

28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.
