Psalm 24
The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. 2 For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. 3 Who may ascend into the hill of theLord? Or who may stand in His holy place? 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive blessing from theLord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
詩24
地和其中所充滿的，世界和住在其間的，都屬耶和華。2 他把地建立在海上，安定在大水之上。3 誰能登耶和華的山？誰能站在他的聖所？4 就是手潔心清，不向虛妄，起誓不懷詭詐的人。5 他必蒙耶和華賜福，又蒙救他的 神使他成義。6 這是尋求耶和華的族類，是尋求你面的雅各。（細拉）7 眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要被舉起！那榮耀的王將要進來！8 榮耀的王是誰呢？就是有力有能的耶和華，在戰場上有能的耶和華！9 眾城門哪，你們要抬起頭來！永久的門戶，你們要把頭抬起！那榮耀的王將要進來！10 榮耀的王是誰呢？萬軍之耶和華，他是榮耀的王！（細拉）
While Holiday Season is a joyous and festive time to many people and families, it can be a sad time for many folks too. It may bring sad memories of deceased loved ones or some broken relationships. But the wonderful thing is the Savior has come. He came first as a baby in a manger. The wise men from the East fixed their eyes on the Star and it brought them to Him.
ReplyDeleteIn today’s Psalm there is a calling to “Lift up your heads” (v7) Are you weary because of life’s responsibilities and turmoil? Lift up your heads to the King of glory for He is strong to save. He is mighty in battle. He can smash the enemies of our soul to pieces. Oh, “Lift up your heads…be lifted up. And the King of glory shall come in.” (v7)
Praise the Lord, O my soul!
