Save Me, O God - Psalm 69-72

Save Me, O God

[9] For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me. 
[Psa 69:9 LSB]

[17] His disciples remembered that it was written, "ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."
[Jhn 2:17 LSB]

[2] Each of us is to please his neighbor for his good, to his building up.
[3] For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME." 
[Rom 15:2-3 LSB]

[21] They also gave [me] gall for my food And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
[Psa 69:21 LSB]

[28] After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been finished, in order to finish the Scripture, said, "I am thirsty." 
[29] A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon [a branch of] hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. 
[30] Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. 
[Jhn 19:28-30 LSB]

 

 O Yahweh, Do Not Delay

[5] But I am afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my protector; O Yahweh, do not delay. 
[Psa 70:5 LSB]

O God, Do Not Forsake Me

[9] Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. ... 
[Psa 71:9 LSB]

[17] O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds. 
[18] And even when [I am] old and gray, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to [this] generation, Your might to all who are to come. 
[Psa 71:17-18 LSB]

Give the King Your Judgments

[8] May he also have dominion from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth. 
[Psa 72:8 LSB]

[10] I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim And the horse from Jerusalem; And the bow of war will be cut off. And He will speak peace to the nations; And His reign will be from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth.
[Zec 9:10 LSB]

[Psa 52:8-9 LSB]

There Is No One Who Does Good

[2] God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there is anyone who has insight, Anyone who seeks after God. 
[3] Every one of them has turned back; together they have become worthless; There is no one who does good, not even one.

Why Should I Fear in Days of Evil?

[20] Man in [his] honor, but [who] does not understand, Is like the animals that perish. 
[Psa 49:20 LSB]

[18] I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, "God is testing them in order for them to see that they are but beasts." 
[19] For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same fate for [each of] them. As one dies so dies the other, and they all have the same breath. So there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity. 
[Ecc 3:18-19 LSB]

God Himself Is Judge

[23] The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!"

Instructions to Those Who Serve

[1] All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and [our] doctrine will not be slandered.

[17] Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy.

[Rom 10:4 LSB]

[15] It is a trustworthy saying and deserving full acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost.

[3] This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 
[4] who desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth. 
[1Ti 2:1-4 LSB]

Instructions for Women


Overseers and Deacons

Believed on in the world, 
Taken up in glory.

[9] Now it happened when they crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." [10] And he said, "You have asked a hard thing. [Nevertheless], if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be [so]." 
[2Ki 2:9-10 LSB]

[11] As they were going along and talking, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and it separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. 
[12] And Elisha was seeing [this] and he was crying out, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.
