Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Psalm 139

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

1  You have searched me, Lord,
    and you know me.

2  You know when I sit and when I rise;
    you perceive my thoughts from afar.

3  You discern my going out and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.

4  Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.

5  You hem me in behind and before,
    and you lay your hand upon me.

6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
    too lofty for me to attain.

7  Where can I go from your Spirit?
    Where can I flee from your presence?

8  If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

9  If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
    if I settle on the far side of the sea,

10  even there your hand will guide me,
    your right hand will hold me fast.

11  If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
    and the light become night around me,”

12  even the darkness will not be dark to you;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

13  For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

14  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

15  My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

16  Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.

17  How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
    How vast is the sum of them!

18  Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand—
    when I awake, I am still with you.

19  If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
    Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!

20  They speak of you with evil intent;
    your adversaries misuse your name.

21  Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
    and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?

22  I have nothing but hatred for them;
    I count them my enemies.

23  Search me, God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

24  See if there is any offensive way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father, Who Art In Heaven,
How Blessed and Glorious is Your Most Wonderful and Holy Name!
You Made Us,
and Everything there is,
For Your Are The Creator
The Only One.

1. O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2. You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3. You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4. For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5. You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

How Wonderful You Are, Dear Father!
I am Overwhelmed By Your Glory!

7. Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8. If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9. If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10. Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;
12. Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You,
But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

Nothing Happens without Your Notice, Abba.
You know How many hairs are on my head,
How many cells in my body.
Nothing is Impossible for You.

13. For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15. My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.

17. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!

Father,
In The Midst Of This Glorious,
Personal Psalm of David,
We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem. We Pray For the City of David,
The People of David,
And For the Country that Chose The Family Crest of David as its National Symbol.
We ask That, Like David,
We can be "The Apple of Your Eye' A "Person After Your Own Heart",
and even as sinners like David,
Touched by the Infinite Mercy and Grace of Your Holy Spirit!

18. If I should count them,
they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

19. Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!
Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
20. For they speak against You wickedly;
Your enemies take Your name in vain.
21. Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against You?
22. I hate them with perfect hatred;
I count them my enemies.

Let those who hate Zion be turned back,
According to Your Word, Oh LORD.
Let The Enemies of The Truth be Put To Confusion and Shame,
According To The Will and promises of The LORD.

23. Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;
24. And see if there is any wicked way in me,
And lead me in the way everlasting.

Keep My Heart Pure Toward You, Oh God,
That I May Always Be In Your Will.

Let All That Has Been Concealed,
Be Revealed.

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 Beloved USA
We Ask That Your People 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.

Psalm 110

Of David. A Psalm.

1 The Lord says to my lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.’

2 The Lord sends out from Zion
your mighty sceptre.
Rule in the midst of your foes.
3 Your people will offer themselves willingly
on the day you lead your forces
on the holy mountains.*
From the womb of the morning,
like dew, your youth* will come to you.
4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,
‘You are a priest for ever according to the order of Melchizedek.’*

5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will execute judgement among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter heads
over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the stream by the path;
therefore he will lift up his head.

[Hebrews 11:6]

In The Chosen, Jewish tax collector Matthew, completely ignorant of Scripture but now a believer and follower of Jesus, asks his knowledgeable and kind new companion Philip for some verses to get him started. After due consideration, Philip replies with verse 8:
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

Later, Jesus reinforces to Matthew its importance, and later still we see Matthew internalizing it and applying it appropriately in a fearful situation--an excellent object-lesson in using Scripture as its Author intends. To drive home the point completely, finally we see the beleaguered Mary Magdalene memorizing the entire psalm, because she says she needs its protection.

Indeed, inescapably all viewers have now assimilated verse 8--it is our new dear friend--and I am thrilled to encounter it here.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

I have been so upset with the news that I didn't have a story to tell today. However, I did write a song based on this Psalm back in 2014, so I will share the lyrics:

*Psalm 139

c2014 MLK for (Windrider Biker Church)

(VERSE1)

You have searched me, Lord, And You know me.
You know when I sit, And when I rise.
You perceive my thoughts from far away,
You know when I go out, and when I come in.
Before a word is on my tongue,
You already know what I'm gonna say.
You hem me in, around, behind, and before
And lay Your hand on me to guide my way.

(CHORUS)

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me!
Far too lofty for me to attain.
Your awesomeness is more than I can see,
And I love to praise Your Name,
And I love to praise Your Name.

(VERSE 2)

Where can I flee from Your Presence?
Where can I hide from Your Spirit?
If I go up to the heavens, You are there,
If I sleep in the depths, You are there.
If I rise upon the wings of the dawn,
If I settle far across the sea,
Even there, Your hand will hold me fast.
Even there, Your hand will guide me.

(CHORUS 2X)
