Israel's pleading prayer and God's response

[Book of Jeremiah]

Psalm 80 is Israel's plea for God's mercy. Psalm 80 is followed by Psalm 81 which is God's plea for Israel's obedience.

Psalm 81 is followed by Psalm 82 which is a rebuke of Israel's Urgent Judges which is followed by Psalm 83 which is a Plea for God to destroy Israel's enemies. These are the prayers the Lord is directing His people to pray in this hour. It is to be prayed out loud into the atmosphere. With a fervent heart!

* When the Spirit of the LORD directs you to pray a prayer you should know God is in that battle and the victory is at hand.

After Psalm 83 comes Psalm 84 which is The joy of dwelling with God. The Psalm that comes after Psalm 84 is the Prayer for Revival which is Psalm 85.

After Psalm 85 comes the prayer, Teach me thy way, O Lord. This prayer of David is so humble. It is so beautiful how the Lord humbles us, it is after repentance that restoration comes....
The chastisement of the LORD breaks open the hardened heart and alllows the opportunity for Him to come in and cleanse, heal, to revive that which was lifeless! To bring us back to Life in Him! The LORD's teachings are like the healing balm of Gilead that soothes, mends and restores us. He restoreth my soul..... Is that not love, beloved?

The prayer Teach me thy way, O Lord is found in Psalm 86. After Psalm 86 comes Psalm 87 which is the crowning jewel set upon the holy mountains of God - Glorious Zion, City of God. This is the content of Psalm 87.

Here are the first 61 Psalms of David.... Psalm 80 - 87 will be written below when it is typed out.

Psalm 39

I said, I will watch my ways
and keep my tongue from sin,
I will put a muzzle on my mouth
as long as the wicked are in my presence.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Psalm 80 - Israel's Plea for Mercy - To the chief Musician upon Shoshanim - Eduth, A Psalm of Asaph.

Give ear, O Shepard of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock, thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manesseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. Turn again, O God, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? Thou feedest them with the bread of tears, and givest them tears to drink in great measure. Thou makest us strife unto our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.

Turn again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt, thou has cast out the heathen, and planted it. Thou preparest room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. Why has thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?

The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts, look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine.

And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down, they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.

Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man, whom thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from thee, and we will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.

Psalm 81 - God's Plea for Israel's Obedience - To the Chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph

Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, and pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow the trumpet in the new moon, in the appointed time, on our solemn feast day. For this was the statute for Israel and a law of the God of Jacob.

This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language I understood not.

I removed his shoulder from the burden, his hands were delivered from the pots. Thou calledst in trouble and I delivered thee, I answered thee in the secret place of thunder, I proved thee at the waters of Meribah.
Selah.

Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee, O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me: There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any strange god.

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, open thy mouth wide and I will fill it.

But my people would not hearken to my voice, and Israel would have none of me. So I gave them up unto their own hearts lust, and they walked in their own counsels. Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him, but their time should have endured for ever. He should have fed them also with the finest of wheat, and with honey out of the rock shoulld I have satisfied thee.

Psalm 81: 1 - 16

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Psalm 82 - Rebuke of Israel's Urgent Judges - A Psalm of Asaph

God standeth in the congregation of the mighty, he judgeth among the gods. How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked?
Selah.
Defend the poor and fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and needy, rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
They know not, neither will they understand, they walk on in darkness, all the foundations of the earth are out of course. I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Psalm 82: 1 - 8

Psalm 83 - Plea for God to Destroy Israel's Enemies - A Prophecy of the future of Israel's enemies

Keep not thou silent, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult, and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be no more in remebrance.

For they have consulted together, with one consent: they are a confederate against thee:
The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites, of Moab, and the Hagarenes, Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre. Asur also is joined with them, they have holpen the children of Lot.
Selah.
Do unto them as unto the Midianites, as to Sisera, as to Jabin at the brook of Kison. Which perished at Endor, they became as dung of the earth. Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb, yea, all their princes of Zebah, and Zalmuna. Who said, Let us take to ourselves the house of God in possession.

Oh my God, make them like a wheel, as the stubble before the wind. As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire, So persecute them with the tempest and make them afraid with thy storm.

Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O LORD. Let them be confounded and troubled for ever, yea, let them be put to shame and perish:

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

Psalm 83: 1 - 18

That is the prayer of my heart! That is the prayer God has burned into my soul! I prayed it out loud last night at the LORD's leading and today I am praying it again! And again! And again! Hear this prayer of my heart, O God! Avenge thy people! Avenge thy people, O God! Do it now! In the Mighty name of Jesus, I pray! Thy will be done, Father! Thy will be done! Send thy Holy Spirit and move upon the hearts of all flesh now, O God! Do it today! Hear these prayers for Israel! Incline thine ear unto thy own people and in thy wrath remember mercy, O LORD.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Psalm 84 - The Joy of Dwelling with God - To the Chief Musician upon Gittith.

How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, they will still be praising thee. Selah.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well, the rain also filleth the pools.

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer, give ear, O God of Jacob.
Selah.
Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
For a day in the thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For the LORD God is a sun and shield, the LORD will give grace and glory, not good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

O LORD of hosts blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

Psalm 84: 1 - 12

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Psalm 85 - Prayer for Revival - To the chief Musician

LORD, thou has been favourable unto thy land, thou has brought back the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the inquity of thy people, thou has covered all their sins.

Thou hast taken away all thy wrath, thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

Wilt thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. I will hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. Surely this salvation is nigh them that fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth are met together, righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall spring up out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good, and our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before him, and shall set us in the ways of his steps.

- Psalm 85: 1 - 13

Psalm 86 - Teach Me Thy Way, O LORD - Prayer of David

Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul, for I am holy, O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me O Lord, for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and plentious in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou will answer me.

Among the gods there in none like unto thee, O LORD: neither are there any works like unto thy works. All nations whom thou has made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD, and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.

Teach me thy way, O LORD: I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

I will praise thee, O Lord, my God, with all of my heart: and I will glorify, thy name for evermore. For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them!

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, and longsuffering, and plentious in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

Shew me a toke for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: Because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.

- Psalm 86

This is my plea, O My God! That you shall set all things in right order! That you shall remove crooked judges and those who strive against thy people, O God! That you shall turn the heart of the kings and all those in authority toward thy statutes and shall cause them to remove the wicked from their counsel!

Avenge Israel this day O God and do not delay in thy judgments! Avenge thy people that all may know you are the God of Israel and your ear is open to the cries of thy people! I ask you, Father, to bend down thine ear today to hear the cry of my heart - to avenge me of evil men - proud men who accuse me with false lips and have devised evil plans against me because I am thy servant! Because I have declared your truth boldly from the rooftops! They have plotted against me in their hearts to return evil for the good I have done unto them because they despise your Name. Avenge me this day O God and reward me according to the cleanness of my hands! Grant me my petition, I pray thee, In Jesus Name, Amen.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Psalm 87: GLORIOUS ZION - CITY OF GOD -

His foundation is in the holy mountains.

The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Glorious things are spoke of thee, o city of God. Selah.

I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia, this man was born there. And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her, and the highest himself shall establish her.

The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah.

As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.

Psalm 87: 1 - 7
