Psalm 119:165 – work of righteousness

Dear Jehovah God,

חוַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ אַבְרָהָ֔ם אֱלֹהִ֞ים יִרְאֶה־לּ֥וֹ הַשֶּׂ֛ה לְעֹלָ֖ה בְּנִ֑י וַיֵּֽלְכ֥וּ שְׁנֵיהֶ֖ם יַחְדָּֽו:

          “Abraham replied, ‘God will see to a lamb for an ascent-offering, and if He does not, then you, my son, will be the offering.’ The two of them walked on together.”

 

Psalm 119:165 – work of righteousness

          Those who love Your law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.

Psalm 37:11; Proverbs 3:2; Isaiah 26:3; 32:17 – great peace

          But the humble inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

          For length of days and years of life and peace they add to us.

          The steadfast of mind You keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You.

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

Proverbs 3:23; Isaiah 63:13; 1 John 2:10 – nothing causes them to stumble

          Then we walk in our way securely and our foot does not stumble.

          Who leads them through the depths? Like the horse in the wilderness, they do not stumble.

          The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

 

Intention of this prayer: great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.

          Those who love Your law have great peace, and they have no stumbling block. But the humble inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant prosperity. For length of days and years of life and peace they add to YFA. The steadfast of mind You keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You. And the work of righteousness is peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and security forever.

          Then YFA walk in YFA’ way securely and YFA’ foot does not stumble. Who leads them through the depths? Like the horse in the wilderness, they do not stumble. The one who loves his brother abides in the Light and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

You are Omnipotent. You, Jehovah, lift up Your voice to the clouds, so that an abundance of water covers You. You send forth lightings that they may go and say to You “Here we are”. You who has put wisdom in the innermost being and given understanding to the mind. You who can count the clouds by wisdom, and tip the water jars of the heavens, when the dust hardens into a mass and the clods stick together. 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 Longsuffering. You Jehovah are slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but You will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations. The Lord, YWYS, is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. You, Jehovah God, are patient. Your righteous anger is slow to be kindled against those who fail to listen to Your warnings or obey Your instructions. Your eternal longing for the highest good for Your creation holds back Your justice.

You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!

שמע ישראל יהוה אלהנו יהוה אחד:

אמו.                                                                                      Amen, Amen, & Amen.
