Psalm 132

  Psalm 132

 

Lord, don’t forget about David and all the hassles he underwent when he vowed to the Mighty God of Jacob saying   ‘  Honestly I tell you Im not going to go into my bedroom to lie on my nice comfy bed, Im not going to let myself sleep, not a wink, until I find a place for the Lord, somewhere permanent for the ark of His presence to rest’

 

We heard that it was in Ephrathat.  We found it in the fields of the woods.

 

Let us go into His holy place to worship at His feet.  Come Lord to your house, Your resting place.  Come with all Your power and might.  Let your priests be clothed in righteousness and let your saints shout for joy.

For the sake of Your servant David, do not turn away a good and godly man

 

The Lord made a promise to David and He wont break that promise.  He said ‘If you and your children will keep covenant with me then  I shall give you an heir to inherit your throne.  And if they follow everything I shall teach them then their descendents shall sit on that throne forever.

 

The Lord has chosen Zion – this is where He has decided to come and live.  In a city made up of His own people

‘This is where I have decided to live forever.  I shall bless this city with abundant provision.   I shall meet the needs of the poor, I shall clothe the priests with salvation and all the saints shall shout for joy.  In this city I shall make the reputation of David grow and I shall give a light to my chosen anointed one.  I will put his enemies to shame but the crown my anointed one wears will flourish.

Psalm 135

   Psalm 135 Praise the Lord.  Praise His name everyone.  All who stand in the house of the Lord and in the outer courts of His temple.  Praise Him because He is good.  SIng praise to Him simply because it is fun to do!  Because He has chosen us - we are His special treasure.  I know that God is fantastic, above all other gods.  He does whatever seems good to Him in the heavens and on the earth, in the deepest parts of the sea and high above the earth's atmosphere.  He makes the lightning in the rainstorms and lets the wind out of its hiding place. He destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, both men and animals because He was performing signs and wonders among you Egyptians.  Under Pharoh and Pharoah's followers he defeated many nations and slew mighty kings - Sihon King of the Amorites, Og King of Bashan and all the kingdoms of Canaan and He gave their lands to us for our inheritance Only Your name Lord will last forever.  Your repu...

147

  Psalm 147 It’s a good thing to sing praise to God. Its physically beneficial for you and it sounds beautiful too! This is why we sing : Because through praise God builds up His church. He gathers all those who are on the edges and brings them in. He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds. Let us praise Him because He is the One who can number the stars and calls each one by name. He is great, mighty, powerful and has limitless understanding. The Lord lifts up the humble and casts the wicked down to the ground. So sing to The Lord with thanks in your heart, use instruments to praise the God of the seasons and the weather, the rain and the sun. He makes crops grow and provides food for the animals and birds of the earth. He isn’t impressed by the things that impress us - the size of our cars or the physical prowess of the finely honed athlete. No, He is interested in those who respect and love Him, and in those who depend upon His kindness and mercy. So le...
