Psalm 132
Psalm 132
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 132
A song of ascents. 1 LORD, remember Davidand all his self-denial.
2 He swore an oath to the LORD,
he made a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “I will not enter my house
or go to my bed,
4 I will allow no sleep to my eyes
or slumber to my eyelids,
5 till I find a place for the LORD,
a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 We heard it in Ephrathah,
we came upon it in the fields of Jaar:[a]
7 “Let us go to his dwelling place,
let us worship at his footstool, saying,
8 ‘Arise, LORD, and come to your resting place,
you and the ark of your might.
9 May your priests be clothed with your righteousness;
may your faithful people sing for joy.’”
10 For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11 The LORD swore an oath to David,
a sure oath he will not revoke:
“One of your own descendants
I will place on your throne.
12 If your sons keep my covenant
and the statutes I teach them,
then their sons will sit
on your throne for ever and ever.”
13 For the LORD has chosen Zion,
he has desired it for his dwelling, saying,
14 “This is my resting place for ever and ever;
here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.
15 I will bless her with abundant provisions;
her poor I will satisfy with food.
16 I will clothe her priests with salvation,
and her faithful people will ever sing for joy.
17 “Here I will make a horn[b] grow for David
and set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18 I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but his head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”

New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 131
A song of ascents. Of David. 1 My heart is not proud, LORD,my eyes are not haughty;

2 But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.
3 Israel, put your hope in the LORD
both now and forevermore.

O the Deep Deep Love
No Matter What Happens Around You
Remember You Can Trust in
"The Deep Deep Love of Jesus"
Psalm 130
Psalm 130
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 130
A song of ascents. 1 Out of the depths I cry to you, LORD;2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3 If you, LORD, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the LORD,
for with the LORD is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.

Isaiah 9:6
New King James Version (NKJV)
6 For unto us a Child is born,

Psalm 129
Psalm 129
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 129
A song of ascents. 1 “They have greatly oppressed me from my youth,”let Israel say;
2 “they have greatly oppressed me from my youth,
but they have not gained the victory over me.
3 Plowmen have plowed my back
and made their furrows long.
4 But the LORD is righteous;
he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.”
5 May all who hate Zion
be turned back in shame.
6 May they be like grass on the roof,
which withers before it can grow;
7 a reaper cannot fill his hands with it,
nor one who gathers fill his arms.
8 May those who pass by not say to them,
“The blessing of the LORD be on you;
we bless you in the name of the LORD.”

within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Yes, this will be the blessing
for the man who fears the LORD.
5 May the LORD bless you from Zion;
may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you live to see your children’s children—
peace be on Israel.

Psalm 127
Psalm 127
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon. 1 Unless the LORD builds the house,the builders labor in vain.
Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to[a] those he loves.
3 Children are a heritage from the LORD,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.

A note from our Friend Brian Johnson
From: Johnston, Brian
Subject: FW: The Friday Message
Subject: FW: The Friday Message
keeping company with people who deny the resurrection, who try to redefine Jesus Christ, who try to deny the deity of Jesus Christ is dangerous.....there is a balance we must juggle between telling people about Christ, and allowing ourselves to be corrupted by their influence......we cannot allow our relationships with non-believers to cause our faith to wavier........we must stay in the word EVERYDAY to remain strong....remember God's word......1 John 4:15....1 John 2:23.....Matt 10:32..... Luke 12:8....Romans 14:11....... Philippians 2:9-11.....this how we stay strong and this is how we live forever.
"Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God—I say this to your shame." 1 Corinthians 15:33-34"PRAISE GOD THE TOMB IS EMPTY"

3 The LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
4 Restore our fortunes,[c] LORD,

5 Those who sow with tears
will reap with songs of joy.

Psalm 125
Psalm 125
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 125
A song of ascents. 1 Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion,which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the LORD surrounds his people
both now and forevermore.
3 The scepter of the wicked will not remain
over the land allotted to the righteous,
for then the righteous might use
their hands to do evil.
4 LORD, do good to those who are good,
to those who are upright in heart.
5 But those who turn to crooked ways
the LORD will banish with the evildoers.
Peace be on Israel.

Psalm 124
Psalm 124
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 124
A song of ascents. Of David. 1 If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel say—
2 if the LORD had not been on our side
when people attacked us,
3 they would have swallowed us alive
when their anger flared against us;
4 the flood would have engulfed us,
the torrent would have swept over us,
5 the raging waters
would have swept us away.
6 Praise be to the LORD,
who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
7 We have escaped like a bird
from the fowler’s snare;
the snare has been broken,
and we have escaped.
8 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

A song of ascents. 1 I lift up my eyes to you,to you who sit enthroned in heaven.

till he shows us his mercy.

4 We have endured no end
of ridicule from the arrogant,

the tribes of the LORD—
to praise the name of the LORD
according to the statute given to Israel.
5 There stand the thrones for judgment,
the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure.
7 May there be peace within your walls

nor the moon by night.

he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
