Psalm 87 Prayed

Psalm 87 Prayed
Praying for the global city of God

    O Lord Jesus, you have set your foundation on the
            holy mountain;
            for you love the gates of Zion
            more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
   You have brought us to Mount Zion,
            to the heavenly Jerusalem,
            the city of the living God.
   You have brought us to thousands upon thousands
            of angels
            in joyful assembly, 
         to the Church of the firstborn,
            whose names are written in heaven.
   You have brought us to God,
            the judge of all men,
            to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, 
   For you, O Jesus, are the mediator of a new
            covenant.
            
   Glorious things are said of you,
            O city of God,
   “I will record Europe and Australasia
            among those who acknowledge me—
   Africa too, and North and South America,
            along with Asia—
            and all will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
   For nations on every shore will worship Jesus,
            every one on in its own land:
   So may every nation on every continent say:  
            “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the
            Lord Jesus,
            to the house of the God of Jacob.
               He will teach us his ways,
            so that we may walk in his paths.”
   Let the Scriptures go out from the Church of
            the firstborn,
            the word of the Lord from the heavenly
            Jerusalem.

   Indeed, of the Church may it be said,
            “This one and that one were born in her,
            and the Most High himself will establish her.”
   O Lord, write in the register of the peoples:
            “This one was born in the heavenly Zion.”
   As they make music they will sing;
            “O Jesus all my fountains are in you.
            With joy I draw water
            from the wells of salvation,
            for the water you give me
            has become in me a spring of water
            welling up to eternal life.”



Psalm 87
Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song.

1   He has set his foundation on the holy
            mountain;
2   the LORD loves the gates of Zion
            more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
Heb. 12:22   But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,  23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,  24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant...

3   Glorious things are said of you,
            O city of God:                           Selah
4   “I will record Rahab and Babylon
            among those who acknowledge me—
      Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—
            and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”
Zeph. 2:11 …The nations on every shore will worship him, every one in its own land.
Mic. 4:2 Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

5   Indeed, of Zion it will be said,
            “This one and that one were born in her,
            and the Most High himself will establish her.”
6   The LORD will write in the register of the
            peoples:
            “This one was born in Zion.”         Selah
7   As they make music they will sing,
“All my fountains are in you.”
Is. 12:3  With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.
John 4:14 …Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
