A Song of Assents

Celebrating God

God's People Offer Praise
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

 

David Dances Before the Ark

Psalm 122
The Message

122 1-2 When they said, “Let’s go to the house of God,”
    my heart leaped for joy.
And now we’re here, O Jerusalem,
    inside Jerusalem’s walls!

3-5 Jerusalem, well-built city,
    built as a place for worship!
The city to which the tribes ascend,
    all God’s tribes go up to worship,
To give thanks to the name of God—
    this is what it means to be Israel.
Thrones for righteous judgment
    are set there, famous David-thrones.

6-9 Pray for Jerusalem’s peace!
    Prosperity to all you Jerusalem-lovers!
Friendly insiders, get along!
    Hostile outsiders, keep your distance!
For the sake of my family and friends,
    I say it again: live in peace!
For the sake of the house of our God, God,
    I’ll do my very best for you.


For Reflection

Everybody should have a place to call home, a place that has special meaning, a place of divine inspiration. That place for Jews was Jerusalem. 

Pray

Pray and find your place in the midst of God's family. Pray and find shalom.
