Psalm 114 Prayed

Psalm 114 Prayed
Praising the Lord for his faithfulness to his people

   O Lord, when you led ancient Israel came out of
            Egypt,
            the house of Jacob from a people of foreign
            tongue,
   Judah became your sanctuary,
            Israel your dominion.
   Just as we the Church are your temple,
            and your Holy Spirit lives in us.
   And your temple is sacred,
            and we are that temple.

   We remember that before you saved us
            we were separate from you, O Christ,
   excluded from citizenship in Israel
            and foreigners to the covenants of the
            promise,
            without hope and without God in the world.
   But now in you, O Christ Jesus
            we who once were far away
            have been brought near
            through your blood.
   Thank you that today,
            we are no longer foreigners and strangers,
   but fellow citizens with your people Israel
            and also members of your household,
   built on the foundation of the apostles and
            prophets,
            with you yourself as the chief cornerstone.
   In you the whole building is joined together
            and rises to become a holy temple for you, O
            Lord.
   And in you we too are being built together
            to become a dwelling in which God lives by
            the Holy Spirit.

   By faith the people of Israel
             passed through the Red Sea as on dry land;
   but when the Egyptians tried to do so,
            they were drowned.
   The sea looked and fled,
            the Jordan turned back;
   Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground,
            for you, the Lord our God dried up the Jordan
            before them until they crossed over.
   You, the Lord our God, did to the Jordan
            just what you had done to the Red Sea
   when you dried it up
            until Israel crossed over.
   The mountains skipped like rams,
            the hills like lambs.
   Why was it, O sea, that you fled,
            O Jordan, that you turned back,
   you mountains, that you skipped like rams,
            you hills, like lambs?

   These things happened to them as examples
            and were written down as warnings for us, the
            Church,
            on whom the fulfilment of the ages has come.

   Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
            at the presence of the God of Jacob,
   who turned the rock into a pool,
            the hard rock into springs of water.
   Ancient Israel ate the same spiritual food as us,
            and drank the same spiritual drink as us;
   for they drank from the spiritual rock that
            accompanied them,
            and that rock was you, O Christ.
   Therefore may we drink of the water you give us,
            so that we will never thirst.
   Indeed, let the water you give us
            become in us a spring of water
            welling up to eternal life.
   O Lord Jesus Christ,
            you are the bread of life.
   Israel’s forefathers ate the manna in the desert,
            yet they died.
   But you are the bread that came down from
             heaven,
            which anyone may eat and not die.
   May we eat of this bread,
            so that we can live forever.
   This bread is your flesh
            which you have given for the life of the world.





Psalm 114

  
1   When Israel came out of Egypt,
            the house of Jacob from a people of
            foreign tongue,
2   Judah became God’s sanctuary,
            Israel his dominion.
1Cor. 3:16                Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?  17 … for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.
Eph. 2:12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
Eph. 2:19   Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household,  20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.  21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.  22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

Heb. 11:29  By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
3   The sea looked and fled,
            the Jordan turned back;
4   the mountains skipped like rams,
            the hills like lambs.
Josh. 4:22 tell them, ‘Israel crossed the Jordan on dry ground.’  23 For the LORD your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The LORD your God did to the Jordan just what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over.
5   Why was it, O sea, that you fled,
            O Jordan, that you turned back,
6   you mountains, that you skipped like rams,
            you hills, like lambs?

1Cor. 10:11 These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfilment of the ages has come.

7   Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
            at the presence of the God of Jacob,
8   who turned the rock into a pool,
            the hard rock into springs of water.

1Cor. 10:3 They all ate the same spiritual food 4 and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.

John 4:14 but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.

John 6: 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. 50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. 51 ... If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
