Psalm 72:2, 3 – work of righteousness

Dear Jehovah God,

ןןַיִּקַּ֨ח אַבְרָהָ֜ם אֶת־עֲצֵ֣י הָֽעֹלָ֗ה וַיָּ֨שֶׂם֙ עַל־יִצְחָ֣ק בְּנ֔וֹ וַיִּקַּ֣ח בְּיָד֔וֹ אֶת־הָאֵ֖שׁ וְאֶת־הַמַּֽאֲכֶ֑לֶת וַיֵּֽלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו:

          Abraham took the wood for the ascent-offering and placed it on his son, Isaac. He took the fire and knife in his hand, and the two of them walked on together.

Isaiah 32:17

          And the work of righteousness is peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.

Psalm 72:2, 3 – work of righteousness

          May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice. Let the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills, in righteousness.

Isaiah 9:7; 11:2-5; 32:1 – judge

          There is no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. The zeal of You Jehovah of hosts accomplishes this.

          The Spirit of You Jehovah rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of You Jehovah. And He delights in the fear of You Jehovah, and He does not judge by what His eyes see, nor makes a decision by what His ears hear; but with righteousness He judges the poor, and decides with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; and He strikes the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He slays the wicked.

          Behold, a king reigns righteously and princes rule justly.

Psalm 82:3 – Your afflicted

          Vindicate the weak and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

Isaiah 2:4; 9:5, 6; Micah 4:3, 4; Zechariah 9:10 – peace

          And You judge between the nations, and render decisions for many peoples; and they hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation does not lift up sword against nation, and never again do they learn war.

          For every boot of the booted warrior in the battle tumult, and cloak rolled in blood, is for burning, fuel for the fire. For a child is born to us, a son is given to us; and the government rest on His shoulders; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, Might God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

          And You judge between many peoples and render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation does not lift up sword against nation, and never again do they train for war. Each of them sit under his vine and under his fig tree, with no one to make them afraid, for the mouth of You Jehovah of hosts speaks.

          You cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; and the bow of war is cut off. And You speak peace to the nations; and Your dominion is from sea to sea, and from River to the ends of the earth.

 

Intention of this prayer: Your judgments, Your righteousness, judge, Your afflicted, peace, and vindicate.

         

Intention of this prayer:

          And the work of righteousness is peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and security forever. There is no end to the increase of government or of peace, on the throne of David, YWYS, and over His kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. The zeal of You Jehovah of hosts accomplishes this. The Spirit of You Jehovah rest on YWYS, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of You Jehovah. And He delights in the fear of You Jehovah, and He does not judge by what His eyes see, nor makes a decision by what His ears hear; but with righteousness He judges the poor, and decides with fairness for the afflicted of the earth; and He strikes the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He slays the wicked. Behold, a king reigns righteously and princes rule justly.

          Vindicate the weak and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

          And You judge between the nations, and reprove many peoples; and they hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation does not lift sword against nation, and never again do they learn war. For every boot of the booted warrior in the tumult, and cloak rolled in blood, is for burning, fuel for the fire. For a child is born to YFA, a son given to YFA; and the government is on His shoulders; and His name called Wonderful Counselor, Might God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. And You judge between many peoples and render decisions for mighty, at a distance nation. Then they hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation does not lift sword against nation, and never again do they learn war. Each of them sits under his vine and under his fig tree, with no one to make afraid, for the mouth, YWYS, of You Jehovah of hosts speaks. You cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; and the bow of war cut off. And You speak peace to the nations; and Your dominion is from sea to sea, and from River, i.e. Euphrates, to the ends of the earth.

          You are Omnipotent. You Jehovah bind the chains of the Pleiades, and loose the cords of Orion. You lead forth a constellation in its season, and guide the Bear with her satellites. You know the ordinances of the heavens, and fix their rule over the earth. I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. By the WORD of Your Jehovah the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear You Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of You. You, Jehovah God, possess all power.

You are Just. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; lovingkindness and truth go before You. 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? What shall we say then? There is no injustice with You God Jehovah, is thee? May it never be! You, Jehovah God, are fair in all Your actions. Since You know all every decree is absolutely just.

You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!

שמע ישראל יהוה אלהנו יהוה אחד:

אמו.                                                                                      Amen, Amen, & Amen.
