The Twenty-third Day at Morning Prayer PSALM 110 Dixit Dominus Tone III A 2 THE LORD said / unto my Lord, * Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine ene/mies thy footstool. 2. The Lord shall send the rod of thy power / out of Zion: * be thou ruler, even in the midst a/mong thine enemies. 3. In the day of thy power shall thy people offer themselves willingly with an / holy worship: * thy young men come to thee as dew from the womb / of the morning. 4. The Lord / sware, and will not repent, * Thou art a Priest for ever after the order / of Melchizedek. 5. The Lord u/pon thy right hand * shall wound even kings in the / day of his wrath. 6. He shall judge a/mong the heathen; * he shall fill the places with the dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over / divers countries. 7. He shall drink of the / brook in the way; * therefore shall he / lift up his head.

Psalms Psalm
Cultivate - PSALMS PSALM 126: We now come to the seventh of the "Songs of Ascent," a lovely group of Psalms that God's people would sing and pray together as they journeyed up to Jerusalem. Here in this Psalm they are praying for the day when the Lord would "restore the fortunes" of God's people (vs.1,4). 126 is a prayer for spiritual revival and reawakening. The first half is all happiness and joy, remembering how God answered this prayer once. But now that's just a memory... like a dream. They need to be renewed again. So they call out to God once more: transform, restore, deliver us again. Don't you think this is a prayer that God's people could stand to sing and pray today? Pray it this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. God is here inviting such prayer; he's even putting the very words in our mouths. PSALM 127: This is now the eighth of the "Songs of Ascent," which God's people would sing on their procession up to the temple. We've seen that Zion / Jerusalem / The House of the Lord are all common themes in these Psalms. But the "house" that Psalm 127 refers to (in v.1) is that of a dwelling for a family. 127 speaks plainly and clearly to our anxiety-ridden thirst for success. How can anything be strong or successful or sufficient or secure... if it does not come from the Lord? Without the blessing of the Lord, our lives will come to nothing. -

The relation between the text readings found among the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS), those of the LXX witnesses and the quotations in Ad Hebraeos1 needs much more attention (Batdorf 1972:16–35; Corresponding author: 2 Gert Steyn, Bruce 1962/1963:217–232; Grässer 1964:171–176; Steyn 2003a:493–514; Wilcox 1988:647–656). -
