Praise the LORD!
Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Lord, each and every day, it is a comfort to remember that you rule over all, and you are bringing all things to a good end. You promise that one day you will even swallow up DEATH forever, and wipe away tears from all faces, and it will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have wait for him, that he might save us.” And our waiting will indeed be rewarded. We will say, “This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” But until that day Lord, O, we lift up to you so many frustrations and so many places we long to see you act and bring comfort, restoration, justice, or just relief. [Pause]
Let Israel be glad in his Maker;
let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
May your people be comforted each and every day that you are King, and that no beast, especially not Satan, has any victory over your people. Satan will not win, he is done, it is finished, and so we rejoice with all the saints now living and even those now in heaven with you over your victory you have won on the cross, and the victory you are yet to finally bring, but we know is coming! “the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.”
Let them praise his name with dancing,
making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!
For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
You have taught us that,
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
“Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you, when they exclude you and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Let the godly exult in glory;
let them sing for joy on their beds.
Make us, Holy Spirit, the sort o people that love our enemies, and bless them. Holy Spirit, preserve the Church of God at all times, the saints would truly show the gospel to the world by how we live, make us a generous people, a loving people, a people that bless others rather than being interested only in ourselves, make us merciful even as you, Father, are merciful.
Let the high praises of God be in their throats
and two-edged swords in their hands,
to execute vengeance on the nations
and punishments on the peoples,
to bind their kings with chains
and their nobles with fetters of iron,
to execute on them the judgment written!
We know Lord, that those who do not rest in your, who don’t put their faith in Jesus, face real judgement, and you are good. And yet, we weep for those with no resurrection hope. We weep over those who face judgment without mercy. We weep for the world that does not know you. We weep over death and destruction, especially of those who are not your people. Draw many new sinners to become saints. Show them the power of the resurrection Lord, and as we, your people, would comfort them in weeping and the struggle, help us, Lord, to share the good news of hope, or resurrection, of redemption, of JESUS with these people we love. O Lord, draw the people of Edmond and Oklahoma City, draw our friends, that sinners would find their sins forgiven and enter the kingdom of God. Let souls dead in sin be raised, that they may know the power and hope of the physical and final resurrection still to come! We lift up you those now those for whom we long for their salvation. [Pause]
This is honor for all his godly ones.
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him we were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. O Come, soon Lord Jesus, that we may be eternally reunited with all the cloud of witnesses living in the new heavens and new earth forever, praising you name, Lamb of God, with people from every tribe and people and language, crying out your praises, “salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” For in that day there will be no more hunger or suffering, every tear will be wiped form every eye and death shall be no more. COME JESUS COME! We lift up to you no various sufferings that we ask you to bring to an end, either now, or in your own timing. [Pause]
We beg you, come Jesus come. But until then, we trust you, as so many have trusted you before us. We know you are and will be on the throne. Saying with all the hosts of heaven, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.
Praise the LORD!
Almighty and everlasting God, you govern all things both in heaven and on earth: Mercifully hear the supplications of your people, and in our time grant us your peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
