Podcasts about psalm 122

In Week 3 of Songs For the Road, guest speaker Jason Workman leads us through Psalm 122—a song of gladness and longing for the gathered people of God. As pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem, God's people were reminded that worship isn't just about a place; it's about being built together into a spiritual home. From the earthly Jerusalem to the new Jerusalem, and from the temple built with stones to the temple of God's Spirit within us, we are invited to seek peace, unity, and the good of God's household. This message calls us to love the real church more than our ideal of it, and to look forward to the day when God makes all things new.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Short but very sweet.The songs sung by ancient pilgrims as they travelled from the far corners of the Jewish world to the Jerusalem temple are immortalised in this section of the Book of Psalms.These are the 'Songs of Ascent' - despite the hill on which the city was built not being the highest in Israel, the journey to Jerusalem was always 'up'.These short songs of joy have been plundered by hymn writers throughout the ages, and Felix Mendelssohn and Johann Sebastian Bach were also fans.Cue music!Written and produced by Chas Bayfield.Music by Michael Auld and Jon Hawkins Music.Cover art by Lisa Goff

Ambivalence is a great word to describe having mixed or contradictory feelings about the same thing. And these days, ambivalence is fairly common. There are things worth celebrating that stand alongside stark reminders that not everything is as it's supposed to be. So, what do we do with those feelings? Psalm 122 gives God's people a clear picture of how to express those feelings and how to act on them.

Worship is our response to who God is and what He has done for us. When we worship, it glorifies God and shapes our hearts toward, and focuses our minds on, the things of God – bringing hope, joy, peace, and rest. This Sunday, we will pause and spend our morning worshipping together. The beauty in corporate worship is not only the songs we sing, but the fact that we sing them together. We hope you'll join us as we declare and celebrate the greatness of our God and all He has done for us.

Praise God for his people, the church.

Psalm 122 A Song of Ascents, of DavidThe phrase “of David” is omitted in most mss. of the LXX and the Vulgate- Miller, 399. “The psalm gives more evidence of having been written as a pilgrim psalm than any among the Psalms of Ascents (120-134), with the possible exception of the last one” Miller, 399. Psalms of Zion are Pss. 46, 48, 76, 84, 87, 132.122:1-2 Journey to Jerusalem122:1 I was glad when they said to me- “The idea did not originate with him, but he joined with a group of pilgrims to go to the city” Longman, 416.  Vss. 1, 8-9 use first person singular words.“We hear the voice of an individual singer who is part of a larger group of pilgrims going up to Jerusalem” NICOT, 899. The words I was glad or I rejoiced set “the tone for the remainder of the psalm” NICOT, 900.  ‘Let us go to the house of the LORD'- Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:3; Ps. 84:10; Jer. 31:6; Zech. 8:21. “The verbal phrase is not a cohortative but an imperfect and should be rendered ‘we will go'” VanGemeren, 775.  122:2 Our feet are standing within Your gates, O Jerusalem- Notice that the I shifts to our. “At last Jerusalem and the house of the LORD come into sight, and we have arrived” Kidner, 433. The city is personified and addressed in the second person” Longman, 416.The OT believer rightly regarded Jerusalem as the center of the whole earth- Ps. 48:2; Ezek. 5:5.122:3-5 He celebrates the city122:3 Jerusalem, that is built as a city compact together- Ps. 48:1-2, 13; 147:2. “The word ‘Jerusalem' ends (v. 2) and begins v. 3” McCann, 1184. “True brotherhood was realized at this center of the community” Allen, 159. The word translated compact is used in Ex. 26:3, 3, 6, 9, 11; 36:10, 10, 13, 16, 18 for the curtains of the tabernacle joined together. The word compact is also used of military alliances- II Chron. 20:35, 36, 37; Dan. 11:6, 23. 122:4 To which the tribes go up- Ex. 23:17; Deut. 16:16; Ps. 48:9; 84:5- “Go up is the technical verb for pilgrimage” Alter, 439 and it is also used for going up the temple mount- Ps. 24:3. 122:5 For there thrones were set for judgment- Deut. 17:8; II Sam. 8:15; 15:1-6; I Kings 3:16-28; 10:9; II Chron. 19:8; Ps. 72:1-4; 89:29; Isaiah 2:4; 9:7; 11:2-5; 16:5; Jer. 21:10-11 Kings were to administer just and right judgment. “Other songs of Zion show the integral connection between the city and the king (Pss. 84:9; 132, esp. vss. 11-12)” Broyles, 451.122:6-9 He prays for the peace of the city122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem- Jer. 15:5 There is a wordplay between peace and Jerusalem- Heb. 7:2. Peace is the key word in vss. 6-8 and continues the stairstep parallelism of this psalm. “It was customary to offer greetings of peace on entering a home or community (cf. I Sam. 25:6; Matt. 10:12-13)” Allen, 159.May they prosper who love you- “The ‘your' is feminine singular in the Hebrew, clearly addressing Jerusalem” Alter, 440. Contrast 129:5. . 122:7 May peace be within Your walls- 125:5; 128:6. The word within is used in both portions of this verse and is the Hebrew preposition ב.Compare Pss. 48:13. 122:8 For the sake of my brothers and my friends- He is motivated to pray this prayer because of his love for his fellow-man. 122:9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God- This prayer is also motivated by his love for God. 

What is the significance of Jerusalem for believers today? Today Emma Dotter is joined by Watermark staff member Matt Farlow to discuss how we relate to the traditions of the ancient Israelites while not being steeped in the tradition of the Jewish faith today. Even though we don't hold fast to Jewish traditions as Christians, we can look at them and understand how they were completed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Grab a Psalms Join The Journey Journal for 2024: https://a.co/d/7rt0H3g  Got kids?
