Psalm 107:35 – fertile field

Dear Jehovah God,

אוַיְהִ֗י אַחַר֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וְהָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים נִסָּ֖ה אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלָ֔יו אַבְרָהָ֖ם וַיֹּ֥אמֶר הִנֵּֽנִי:

          “It was after these words that God tested Abraham. He said to him, ‘Abraham!’ and he replied devotedly, ‘Here I am. I am ready to do Your bidding.’”

          Here I am. I am ready to do Your bidding.

 

Psalm 107:35 – fertile field

          You change a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry land into springs of water.

Psalm 105:41; 114:8; Isaiah 35:6, 7; 41:18 – changes

          You open the rock and water flows out; it runs in the dry places like a river.

          Who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water.

          Then the lame leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute shout for joy. For waters break forth in the wilderness and streams in the Arabah. The scorched land becomes a pool and thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, its resting place, grass becomes reeds and rushes.

          You open rivers on the bare heights and springs in the midst of the valleys; You make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land fountains of water.

 

Intention of this prayer: changes.

          You turn a desert into a pool of water and a dry land into springs of water. You open the boulder and water flows out; they go in the dry places, a river. Who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a fountain of water. Then the lame leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute shout for joy. For waters break forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The mirage becomes a pool and thirsty ground springs of water, Your Word; in the haunt of jackals, its resting place, grass, reeds and rushes. You open rivers on the bare heights and springs amid the valleys; You make the wilderness a pool of water, Your Word, and the dry land fountains of water, Your Word.

You are Incomprehensible. Can I discover the depths of God? Can I discover the limits of the Almighty? Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are Your judgments and unfathomable Your ways! Because You Jehovah are God, You are beyond the understanding of man. Man only understands as You choose to reveal Yourself, Your ways, and Your purposes.

You are Truthful. You, Jehovah, are always true to Your promises. You God Jehovah are not a man, that You should lie, nor a son of man, that You should repent; have You said, and will You not do it? Or have You spoken, and will You not make it good? Sanctify them in the truth; Your WORD, Your Son is truth. In the hope of eternal life, which You God Jehovah, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago. All that You say is reality.

You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!

אמו.                                                                                      Amen, Amen, & Amen.
