The Psalm
Psalm 87 (CSB)
A psalm of the sons of Korah. A song.
1 The city he founded is on the holy mountains.
2 The LORD loves Zion’s city gates more than all the dwellings of Jacob.
3 Glorious things are said about you, city of God. Selah
4 “I will make a record of those who know me: Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush— each one was born there.”
5 And it will be said of Zion, “This one and that one were born in her.” The Most High himself will establish her.
6 When he registers the peoples, the LORD will record, “This one was born there.” Selah
7 Singers and dancers alike will say, “My whole source of joy is in you.”
The Prayer
Dwelling
Where is my home
and my heart
and my love
and my belongings
and my rest?
None other
than your Blessed Son
who is my King of kings
but who is my friend
and my oldest brother
and my love and satisfaction.
You have proven yourself over
time and time again
that you are mine
and I am yours
forevermore.
And there is nothing
that can harm me
hurt me
damage me
or separate me
from your precious love.
You are my God
and my Christ
my keeper
and my Lord
You are exalted
far above
all of my gods.
I will exalt you
till my last heartbeat
till my dying breath
till my final thought
I will worship you
I will glorify you
forever.
Amen.
