As I read the opening of this Psalm, I pictured DAVID praying this prayer over his family and the people of
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from
May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests (1-5).
As I pondered these words I pictured me praying this prayer over my family and over my church family. I imagined signing ‘Birthday’ and ‘Thank You’ and ‘Christmas cards’ with this blessing. What a wonderful blessing.
I pray it now on behalf of you…
May the LORD answer you when you are in distress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you.
May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from
May he remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings.
May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.
May we shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God.
May the LORD grant all your requests.
Amen and Amen.
