Praising Scripture - Dec 11

Introduction...

12/11 Psalm 87 :1-7 A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.
（Memorization Scripture: vv. 1-3）

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains.
2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion
More than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God! Selah
4 “I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to those who know Me;
Behold, O Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia:
‘This one was born there.’”
5 And of Zion it will be said,
“This one and that one were born in her;
And the Most High Himself shall establish her.”
6 The Lord will record,
When He registers the peoples:
“This one was born there.” Selah
7 Both the singers and the players on instruments say,
“All my springs are in you.”





[Sharing] Psalms 120 to 134 are songs of ascent. These songs profoundly reflect how thankful they were to God when those captive holy people returned to Jerusalem! Psalm 122, a pilgrimage song written by David, records the songs the Israelites sung to God along the way when they were heading upwards to the temple of God, which vividly illustrates their love for Jerusalem. As soon as the psalmist came to God, he rejoiced and rejoiced because he loved God and loved the temple of God. Therefore, the psalmist was so happy when he heard someone say "Let us go into the house of the Lord". He rejoiced when they were built up together in the holy city, "As a city that is compact together". Hallelujah! As usual, the twelve tribes of Israel headed to the temple of God, praising the name of the LORD in front of His throne. In the meantime, David appealed to all to seek peace for Jerusalem and blessings for companions.

Hopefully, our hearts will be stirred up by David, so that we can come together to love God and God's house, often worship and praise God in His temple, and pray together for the church saying, "Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces." This is David's prayer, which can also be our prayer.
