24.084 | Let Us Go To The House Of The Lord | Psalm 122:1-9 | God’s Word for Today with Pastor Nazario Sinon
Text: Psa 122:1-9 ESV
1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!”
2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
3 Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, “Peace be within you!”
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
-Psa 122:1-9 ESV
LET US GO TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
This psalm expresses the excitement of the pilgrim to worship. Like David, he is imagining himself as standing in Jerusalem to worship (v.1-2).
1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!”
2 Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
He sees Jerusalem as a beautiful, well-built city. The tribes of Israel are united in their worship of God. He recognizes that God rules his people through the throne of David (v.3-5).
3 Jerusalem—built as a city that is bound firmly together,
4 to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.
5 There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
He encourages everyone to pray that God will always preserve the city and prosper its people (v.6-8).
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you!
7 Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!”
8 For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, “Peace be within you!”
He himself will do all he can for the city’s good (v.9).
9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.
Yes the Lord is the builder of the city. But, he is not a passive bystander. He is actively involved to enhance the good of the city’
