Day 15 — Psalm 134
Feast of Tabernacles
A Song of Ascents.
Behold, bless the Lord,
All you servants of the Lord,
Who by night stand in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary,
And bless the Lord.
The Lord who made heaven and earth
Bless you from Zion!

Day 13 — Psalm 132
A Song of Ascents
Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;
How he swore to the Lord,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
Until I find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of the woods.
Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.
Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.
The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.
If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
“This is My resting place forever;
I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
There I will make the horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”

Day 12 — Psalm 131

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
Lord, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, hope in the Lord

Our hope is not in what men can or cannot do.
Our hope is in our Maker who loves us, teaches us his way, forgives us when we fall short, and ultimately redeems our life from death.

Psalms of Ascent Day 11

Psalm 130

Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning
— Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is abundant redemption.
And He shall redeem Israel From all his iniquities.Our hope is not in what men can or cannot do.
Our hope is in our Maker who loves us, teaches us his way, forgives us when we fall short, and ultimately redeems our life from death.

Day 10 — Psalm 129 Day of Atonement


On the Day of Atonement – Yom Kippur, when we willingly afflict our souls through fasting according to God’s command, we also remember God’s promises to the humble and repentant.

God is a God of justice and he rewards people according to their works. He is not a respecter of persons!
There are blessings to those who have changed hearts, whose sins are forgiven .
But to those who adamantly refuse to love God and who hate God’s people there is judgment.

“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth,”
Let Israel now say—
“Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth;
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
The plowers plowed on my back;
They made their furrows long.”
The Lord is righteous;
He has cut in pieces the cords of the wicked.
Let all those who hate Zion
Be put to shame and turned back.
Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
Which withers before it grows up,
With which the reaper does not fill his hand,
Nor he who binds sheaves, his arms.
Neither let those who pass by them say,
“The blessing of the Lord be upon you;
We bless you in the name of the Lord!”
Some verses to consider on the Day of Atonement. Are we fasting with the right heart and motivation and are we forgiving others as we have been forgiven. God will show mercy to the merciful.

“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
“If you take away the yoke from your midst,
The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your darkness shall be as the noonday.
Isaiah 58

Day 9 — Psalms 128
What greater blessing could we receive from God than to have the joy of family, children and grandchildren, who walk together with you in God’s ways.
Blessed is every one who fears the Lord,
Who walks in His ways.
When you eat the labor of your hands,
You shall be happy, and it shall be well with you.
Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
In the very heart of your house,
Your children like olive plants
All around your table.
Behold, thus shall the man be blessed
Who fears the Lord.
The Lord bless you out of Zion,
And may you see the good of Jerusalem
All the days of your life.
Yes, may you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!

Day 8 — Psalms 127
Solomon, David’s son, knew something about building! He had built God’s temple, and his own palace and they were considered to be wonders of the ancient world. How many sleepless nights did he endure because though he had wisdom he did not have the faith to fully trust the Lord.
Solomon is renown for his calvary, and his military, but did he only realize at the end of his life that these things were meaningless unless the Lord was “on guard.”
Perhaps too late in life he realized that the true heritage of a man is not great building projects. And Solomon’s “house” his family, was not built according to God’s standards, and caused him great heartache. So he gives us some advice learned from hard experience.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
They labor in vain who build it;
Unless the Lord guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early,
To sit up late,
To eat the bread of sorrows;
For so He gives His beloved sleep.
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

Day 7 — Psalms 126
God promises to do great things for his people and bring a time of peace and abundance that we can only dream about now.

He promises this to his physical people, Israel, a time of amazing harvests and joyful celebration in their own land after a time of exile.
Psalm 126
When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion,
We were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
And our tongue with singing.
Then they said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
3 The Lord has done great things for us,
And we are glad.
4 Bring back our captivity, O Lord,
As the streams in the South.
5 Those who sow in tears
Shall reap in joy.
6 He who continually goes forth weeping,
Bearing seed for sowing,
Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
Bringing his sheaves with him.

Psalm of Ascent Day 6 —

Psalms 125

Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
So the Lord surrounds His people
From this time forth and forever.
For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
On the land allotted to the righteous,
Lest the righteous reach out their hands to iniquity.
Do good, O Lord, to those who are good,
And to those who are upright in their hearts.
As for such as turn aside to their crooked ways,
The Lord shall lead them away
With the workers of iniquity.
Peace be upon Israel!

Unfortunately this is not the present reality! Rather it is a hope for the future. A future that will be ushered in by the return of the King as LORD of Lords. The Psalm looks forward to the time that Isaiah envisioned:

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this!
Isaiah 9

Day 5 — Psalm 124
God’s deliverance in our lives is no insignificant matter. How often have we faced dilemmas, hostility, or irrational adversaries? When the situation is beyond our ability to “live at peace with all men” we need God to intervene and provide a way of escape. And he does for those who call out to him in faith.

Psalm 124
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,” Let Israel now say—
“If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, When men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive, When their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, The stream would have gone over our soul;
Then the swollen waters Would have gone over our soul.”
Blessed be the Lord, Who has not given us as prey to their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers;
The snare is broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
