Thank You, Dear FRiend, for providing a clickable link. :-)
One of these days I will figure out how to do that in html format! :-)
Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, our FRiends in need and our beloved Nation.
Blessings, etabeta
Did you ever wonder what the music must of sounded like as David had instructed and played...over the hills of Jerusalem. I look forward to the sympathy of Praise and Worship that will be brought as gifts before the LORD throughout Eternity from so many myriads of people. Amen. Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, for the body of Believers throughout all nations, for the repentance of Israel and our very own nation...that in humble rest we will return to the LORD’s care. Amen.
Psalm 40:1-17
New International Version (NIV)
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1
I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.
4
Blessed is the one
who trusts in the Lord,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods.[b]
5
Many, Lord my God,
are the wonders you have done,
the things you planned for us.
None can compare with you;
were I to speak and tell of your deeds,
they would be too many to declare.
6
Sacrifice and offering you did not desire—
but my ears you have opened[c]—
burnt offerings and sin offerings[d] you did not require.
7
Then I said, “Here I am, I have come—
it is written about me in the scroll.[e]
8
I desire to do your will, my God;
your law is within my heart.”
9
I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;
I do not seal my lips, Lord,
as you know.
10
I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;
I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness
from the great assembly.
11
Do not withhold your mercy from me, Lord;
may your love and faithfulness always protect me.
12
For troubles without number surround me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.
They are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails within me.
13
Be pleased to save me, Lord;
come quickly, Lord, to help me.
14
May all who want to take my life
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
be turned back in disgrace.
15
May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
be appalled at their own shame.
16
But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
“The Lord is great!”
17
But as for me, I am poor and needy;
may the Lord think of me.
You are my help and my deliverer

Thank you, for the beautiful Psalm today. May we ever thirst for the WORD of GOD! May it indwell us and may we honor and practice it. Father we pray for the peace of Israel, for Jerusalem, for the captives, the brokenhearted and for the lost, for the restoration of America to our former Christian vales and faith, and all who seek to know our LORD, in Jesus name amen.
We get caught up in trivia, and hurry, and neglect at times the truly important: of which I am chief. Forgive me LORD. Amen
Amen.

This is my favorite song. I selected it at my mother’s memorial, for I remember her singing it as a girl.
Joining in prayers for Jerusalem, Israel, America, and all of the sheep of His pasture under the Good Shepherd of our souls.
