Read the Psalm in your favorite version or in the following KJV and then join us in praying below:
A Song of David
65 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing. (KJV)
Our Father,
Blessed are the ones you choose and bring near. Blessed are those who know your Son Jesus and have received salvation in this life and the life to come.
Let all the world come to your Son Jesus and find real satisfaction living in the goodness of your Kingdom with the blessing of your Spirit within them.
Through awesome actions in nature you continually answer us O God of our salvation. You have provided us with a bountiful creation, with water and plentiful food to sustain us. The beauty of nature testifies to your character and the order of your rule and gives us hope and confidence in the future both in this life and the one to come.
You have sent your own Son into the world to save it and those of us who have received him are the heirs of his sacrifice and salvation for all eternity. You have graced us with your Spirit and our bodies have become your new temple.
Let your Kingdom come down in our midst and let us become the servants you have called us to be and complete the vision that you have placed within us.
Let your Word go forth to all of the world and let every nation and people hear about your Son and the good news of your eternal Kingdom.
Let this be the generation that rises up and becomes the church and the people who participate in the greatest harvest of all time.
Let your Kingdom come, let your will be done on the earth as it is in Heaven.
In Jesus name, Amen.
