Psalms 119:97-128 - Prayer Tents

Isaiah 52

52Wake up, wake up, O Zion! Clothe yourself with strength. Put on your beautiful clothes, O holy city of Jerusalem, for unclean and godless people will enter your gates no longer.H5782H5782H3847H5797H6726H3847H8597H899H3389H6944H5892H3254H935H6189H29312Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem. Sit in a place of honor. Remove the chains of slavery from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.H5287H6083H6965H3427H3389H6605H4147H6677H7628H1323H67263For this is what the Lord says. “When I sold you into exile, I received no payment. Now I can redeem you without having to pay for you.”H559H3068H4376H2600H1350H37014This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Long ago my people chose to live in Egypt. Now they are oppressed by Assyria.H559H136H3069H5971H3381H7223H4714H1481H804H6231H6575What is this?” asks the Lord. “Why are my people enslaved again? Those who rule them shout in exultation. My name is blasphemed all day long.H5002H3068H5971H3947H2600H4910H3213H5002H3068H8034H8548H3117H50066But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power. Then at last they will recognize that I am the one who speaks to them.”H5971H3045H8034H3117H16967How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!H4998H2022H7272H1319H8085H7965H1319H2896H8085H3444H559H6726H430H44278The watchmen shout and sing with joy, for before their very eyes they see the Lord returning to Jerusalem.H6822H5375H6963H6963H3162H7442H7200H5869H5869H3068H7725H67269Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song, for the Lord has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem.H6476H7442H3162H2723H3389H3068H5162H5971H1350H338910The Lord has demonstrated his holy power before the eyes of all the nations. All the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God.H3068H2834H6944H2220H5869H1471H657H776H7200H3444H43011Get out! Get out and leave your captivity, where everything you touch is unclean. Get out of there and purify yourselves, you who carry home the sacred objects of the Lord.H5493H5493H3318H5060H2931H3318H8432H1305H5375H3627H306812You will not leave in a hurry, running for your lives. For the Lord will go ahead of you; yes, the God of Israel will protect you from behind.H3318H2649H3212H4499H3068H1980H6440H430H3478H62213See, my servant will prosper; he will be highly exalted.H5650H7919H7311H5375H3966H136114But many were amazed when they saw him. His face was so disfigured he seemed hardly human, and from his appearance, one would scarcely know he was a man.H7227H8074H4758H4893H376H8389H1121H12015And he will startle many nations. Kings will stand speechless in his presence. For they will see what they had not been told; they will understand what they had not heard about.H5137H7227H1471H4428H7092H6310H5608H7200H8085H995

Isaiah 53

53Who has believed our message? To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm?H539H8052H2220H3068H1540 2My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him.H5927H6440H3126H8328H6723H776H8389H1926H7200H4758H2530 3He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.H959H2310H376H376H4341H3045H2483H4564H6440H959H2803 4Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!H403H5375H2483H5445H4341H2803H5060H5221H430H6031 5But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.H2490H6588H1792H5771H4148H7965H2250H7495 6All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.H6629H8582H6437H376H1870H3068H6293H5771 7He was oppressed and treated harshly, yet he never said a word. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. And as a sheep is silent before the shearers, he did not open his mouth.H5065H6031H6605H6310H2986H7716H2874H7353H6440H1494H481H6605H6310 8Unjustly condemned, he was led away. No one cared that he died without descendants, that his life was cut short in midstream. But he was struck down for the rebellion of my people.H3947H6115H4941H7878H1755H1504H776H2416H6588H5971H5061 9He had done no wrong and had never deceived anyone. But he was buried like a criminal; he was put in a rich man’s grave.H5414H6913H7563H6223H4194H6213H2555H4820H6310 10But it was the Lord’s good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many descendants. He will enjoy a long life, and the Lord’s good plan will prosper in his hands.H2654H3068H1792H2470H7760H5315H817H7200H2233H748H3117H2656H3068H6743H3027 11When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish, he will be satisfied. And because of his experience, my righteous servant will make it possible for many to be counted righteous, for he will bear all their sins.H7200H5999H5315H7646H1847H6662H5650H6663H7227H5445H5771 12I will give him the honors of a victorious soldier, because he exposed himself to death. He was counted among the rebels. He bore the sins of many and interceded for rebels.H2505H7227H2505H7998H6099H6168H5315H4194H4487H6586H5375H2399H7227H6293H6586

Isaiah 54

54“Sing, O childless woman, you who have never given birth! Break into loud and joyful song, O Jerusalem, you who have never been in labor. For the desolate woman now has more children than the woman who lives with her husband,” says the Lord.H7442H6135H3205H6476H7440H6670H2342H7227H1121H8074H1121H1166H559H30682“Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!H7337H4725H168H5186H3407H4908H2820H748H4340H2388H34893For you will soon be bursting at the seams. Your descendants will occupy other nations and resettle the ruined cities.H6555H3225H8040H2233H3423H1471H8074H5892H34274“Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood.H3372H954H3637H2659H7911H1322H5934H2142H2781H4915For your Creator will be your husband; the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the earth.H6213H1166H3068H6635H8034H1350H6918H3478H430H776H71216For the Lord has called you back from your grief—as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,” says your God.H3068H7121H802H5800H6087H7307H802H5271H3988H559H4307“For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with great compassion I will take you back.H6996H7281H5800H1419H7356H69088In a burst of anger I turned my face away for a little while. But with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord, your Redeemer.H8241H7110H5641H6440H7281H5769H2617H7355H559H3068H13509“Just as I swore in the time of Noah that I would never again let a flood cover the earth, so now I swear that I will never again be angry and punish you.H4325H5146H7650H4325H5146H5674H776H7650H7107H160510For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,” says the Lord, who has mercy on you.H2022H4185H1389H4131H2617H4185H1285H7965H4131H559H3068H735511“O storm-battered city, troubled and desolate! I will rebuild you with precious jewels and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.H6041H5590H5162H7257H68H6320H3245H560112I will make your towers of sparkling rubies, your gates of shining gems, and your walls of precious stones.H7760H8121H3539H8179H68H688H1366H2656H6813I will teach all your children, and they will enjoy great peace.H1121H3928H3068H7227H7965H112114You will be secure under a government that is just and fair. Your enemies will stay far away. You will live in peace, and terror will not come near.H6666H3559H7368H6233H3372H4288H712615If any nation comes to fight you, it is not because I sent them. Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.H1481H1481H657H4310H1481H530716“I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals beneath the forge and makes the weapons of destruction. And I have created the armies that destroy.H1254H2796H5301H6352H784H3318H3627H4639H1254H7843H225417But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!H3627H3335H6743H3956H6965H4941H7561H5159H5650H3068H6666H5002H3068

Psalms 119

119[Aleph] Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord.H835H8549H1870H1980H8451H30682Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts.H835H5341H5713H1875H38203They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths.H6466H5766H1980H18704You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully.H6680H8104H6490H39665Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees!H305H1870H3559H8104H27066Then I will not be ashamed when I compare my life with your commands.H954H5027H46877As I learn your righteous regulations, I will thank you by living as I should!H3034H3476H3824H3925H6664H49418I will obey your decrees.

When will you comfort me?H5869H3615H565H559H516283I am shriveled like a wineskin in the smoke, but I have not forgotten to obey your decrees.H4997H7008H7911H270684How long must I wait? When will you punish those who persecute me?H3117H5650H6213H4941H729185These arrogant people who hate your instructions have dug deep pits to trap me.H2086H3738H7882H845186All your commands are trustworthy.
