Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

(Music in The Bible)

Psalm 119

Psalm 119[a]

‎ב Beth

9 How can a young person stay on the path of purity?
    By living according to your word.

10 I seek you with all my heart;
    do not let me stray from your commands.

11 I have hidden your word in my heart
    that I might not sin against you.

12 Praise be to you, Lord;
    teach me your decrees.

13 With my lips I recount
    all the laws that come from your mouth.

14 I rejoice in following your statutes
    as one rejoices in great riches.

15 I meditate on your precepts
    and consider your ways.

16 I delight in your decrees;
  
  I will not neglect your word.

New International Version (NIV)(End of Scripture Passage)

.

Beth is the second letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. Every line in this stanza begins with that letter (in Hebrew, of course!)

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Blessed Are You, Oh LORD Our God!
Beginning and End of All Things,
Beloved Father, You have given us Your Perfect Way,
Before Our Eyes, Your Word Opens,
Behold, Your Precepts, Your Law, Your Statutes, Your Holy WORD!
Bread of Life, Every Day, Like Manna From Heaven,
Bringing Forth Your Fruit in Our Lives Day by Day,
By Hiding Your Word Deep Within Our Hearts,
Becoming More and More in Your Image,
By Praying For Your Holy City Jerusalem,
By Looking Earnestly For Messiah, and
Blessing Your People Israel, According To Your WORD and Promise.

LORD, We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren,
Christians and Jews,
In Bondage in Hostile lands.

We Pray For Our President,
And other Leaders of Our Beloved USA
May They Receive Wisdom from You
To do the Right Thing.
We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.



Hallelujah and Amen

Beth, the second letter in the Hebrew Alphabet, makes a "B" sound (sometimes "V" with special inflection). The Word "Beth" means "House" in Hebrew such as in the name "Beth-le-Chem", (Bethlehem), the "House of Bread". We see "Beth" in use all the time, as we see synagogues with names such as "Beth Shalom"(House of Peace), "Beth Israel"(House of Israel), etc.

How fitting that the "Beth Chapter" in Psalm 119 contains the verse "Thy Word I have hid in my heart, that I may not sin against Thee". For if indeed, our mortal bodies are a Temple or "House" for the LORD, we want to keep our hearts healthy and pure for Him. There is no better way for that than to immerse ourselves in His Holy Word, and take it deeply into our hearts.

There are a number of synonyms for God's Word in this Psalm. They have slightly different shades of meaning in the Hebrew, and the Translators have worked hard to give us a taste:

dabar = "Word"
imrah = "Promise"
Torah = "Law"

There are also words for "Precepts", "Statutes", "Ways", and other words which mean almost the same thing but with extra nuance.

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

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

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."

Something highly unusual and wonderful happened yesterday. The Responsorial Psalm at yesterday's Mass was Psalm 119. Whoda thunkit?

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

That’s awesome! And you KNOW I didn’t plan it that way.

BTW...There are no coincidences, My FRiend. :-)

Amen, left that other site

“Beth” gives good advice.
