Psalm 131

A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem. A psalm of David.

 

Lord, my heart is not proud;

my eyes are not haughty.

 

I don't concern myself with matters too great

or too awesome for me to grasp.

Instead, I have calmed and quieted myself,

like a weaned child who no longer cries for its mother's milk.

Yes, like a weaned child is my soul within me.

O Israel, put your hope in the Lord

- now and always.

Psalm 149

Praise the Lord!

Sing to the Lord a new song.

Sing his praises in the assembly of the faithful.

O Israel, rejoice in your Maker.

O people of Jerusalem, exult in your King.

 

Praise his name with dancing,

accompanied by tambourine and harp.

For the Lord delights in his people;

he crowns the humble with victory.

 

Let the faithful rejoice that he honors them.

Let them sing for joy as they lie on their beds.

Let the praises of God be in their mouths,

and a sharp sword in their hands -

to execute vengeance on the nations

and punishment on the peoples,

to bind their kings with shackles

and their leaders with iron chains,

to execute the judgment written against them.

This is the glorious privilege of his faithful ones.

 

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 50

A Psalm by Asaph.
50:1 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks, and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.
50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
50:3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent. A fire devours before him. It is very stormy around him.
50:4 He calls to the heavens above, to the earth, that he may judge his people:
50:5 “Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”
50:6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge.
Selah.
50:7 “Hear, my people, and I will speak; Israel, and I will testify against you. I am God, your God.
50:8 I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices. Your burnt offerings are continually before me.
50:9 I have no need for a bull from your stall, nor male goats from your pens.
50:10 For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.
50:11 I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.
50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
50:14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the Most High.
50:15 Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
50:16 But to the wicked God says, “What right do you have to declare my statutes, that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
50:17 since you hate instruction, and throw my words behind you?
50:18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.
50:19 “You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.
50:20 You sit and speak against your brother. You slander your own mother’s son.
50:21 You have done these things, and I kept silent. You thought that I was just like you. I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.
50:22 “Now consider this, you who forget God, lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.
50:23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me, and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”

Psalm 9

9:1 I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you. I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

9:3 When my enemies turn back, they stumble and perish in your presence.

9:4 For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

9:5 You have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

9:6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin. The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

9:7 But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

9:8 He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9:9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

9:10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you, for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

9:11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

9:12 For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

9:13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh. See my affliction by those who hate me, and lift me up from the gates of death;

9:14 that I may show forth all your praise. In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.

9:15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

9:16 Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.

Meditation. Selah.

9:17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol, even all the nations that forget God. 9:

18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

9:19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

9:20 Put them in fear, Yahweh. Let the nations know that they are only men.

Selah.

Psalm 97

(as read by Mary)

97:1 Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!
97:2 Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
97:3 A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side.
97:4 His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles.
97:5 The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
97:6 The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

97:7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods!
97:8 Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh.
97:9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods.
97:10 You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
97:11 Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.
97:12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.

Psalm 114

(Read by Heather)

114:1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt,
the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;
114:2 Judah became his sanctuary,
Israel his dominion.
114:3 The sea saw it, and fled.
The Jordan was driven back.
114:4 The mountains skipped like rams,
the little hills like lambs.
114:5 What was it, you sea, that you fled?
You Jordan, that you turned back?
114:6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams;
you little hills, like lambs?
114:7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob,
114:8 who turned the rock into a pool of water,
the flint into a spring of waters.

Readings and Prayers of Lament

25. Psalm 139, Psalm 141 and Psalm 142

We are reading Scripture together, particularly Psalms of lament and repentance as well as the book of Lamentations. As each Scripture is read, listen in an attitude of prayer, and perhaps repeat the words to yourself. Feel the very raw emotions of the words and agony of the original writer and at the heart of God Himself. Yet also listen out for those little words of joy and hope that are hidden within. Then after listening, pray to God using that piece of Scripture.

Psalm 61
1 Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.

I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe.

Psalm 64
1 Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.

they shoot suddenly, without fear.

Psalm 70

1 In you, LORD, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame.

to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.
