Psalm 81-9
1 O LORD, our Lord,        how majestic is your
name in all the earth!        You have set your
glory        above the heavens. 2 From the lips
of children and infants        you have ordained
praise        because of your enemies,       
to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I
consider your heavens,        the work of your
fingers,        the moon and the stars,       
which you have set in place,
8
Psalm 81-9
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
       the son of man that you care for him? 5
You made him a little lower than the heavenly
beings        and crowned him with glory and
honor. 6 You made him ruler over the works of
your hands        you put everything under his
feet 7 all flocks and herds,        and the
beasts of the field, 8 the birds of the air,
       and the fish of the sea,        all that
swim the paths of the seas. 9 O LORD, our Lord,
       how majestic is your name in all the
earth!

HOW GREAT THOU ART (BH 10/SF 425)
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider
all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the
stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power
throughout the universe displayed. Then sings
my soul, My Savior God, to Thee How great Thou
art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my
Savior God, to Thee How great Thou art, how
great Thou art!
10
When through the woods and forest glades I
wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the
trees When I look down from lofty mountain
grandeur, And hear the brook and feel the gentle
breeze Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to
Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou
art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to
Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
11
And when I think that God, His Son not
sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it
in That on the cross, my burden gladly
bearing, He bled and died to take away my
sin. Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to
Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou
art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to
Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
12
When Christ shall come with shout of
acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall
fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble
adoration, And there proclaim, my God, how great
Thou art! Then sings my soul, My Savior God, to
Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou
art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to
Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Gods Praying People Nehemiah inspired by

Nehemiah 1 1 The words of Nehemiah son of
Hacaliah  In the month of Kislev in the
twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of
Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from
Judah with some other men, and I questioned them
about the Jewish remnant that survived the exile,
and also about Jerusalem. 3 They said to me,
Those who survived the exile and are back in the
province are in great trouble and disgrace. The
wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates
have been burned with fire.

Nehemiah 1 4 When I heard these things, I sat
down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted
and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I
said O LORD, God of heaven, the great and
awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with
those who love him and obey his commands, 6 let
your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear
the prayer your servant is praying before you day
and night for your servants, the people of
Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites,
including myself and my father's house, have
committed against you. 7 We have acted very
wickedly towards you. We have not obeyed the
commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant
Moses.
23

Nehemiah 1 8 Remember the instruction you gave
your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are
unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,
9 but if you return to me and obey my commands,
then even if your exiled people are at the
farthest horizon, I will gather them from there
and bring them to the place I have chosen as a
dwelling for my Name.' 10 They are your servants
and your people, whom you redeemed by your great
strength and your mighty hand. 11 O Lord, let
your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your
servant and to the prayer of your servants who
delight in revering your name. Give your servant
success today by granting him favour in the
presence of this man. I was cupbearer to the
king.

Nehemiah 2 1 In the month of Nisan in the
twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was
brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to
the king. I had not been sad in his presence
before 2 so the king asked me, Why does your
face look so sad when you are not ill? This can
be nothing but sadness of heart.

I was very much
afraid, 3 but I said to the king, May the king
live for ever! Why should my face not look sad
when the city where my fathers are buried lies in
ruins, and its gates have been destroyed by fire?


4 The king said to me, What is
it you want? Then I prayed to the God of heaven,
5 and I answered the king, If it pleases the king
and if your servant has found favour in his
sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where
my fathers are buried so that I can rebuild it.
fire?

Nehemiah 2 6 Then the king, with the queen
sitting beside him, asked me, How long will your
journey take, and when will you get back? It
pleased the king to send me so I set a time. 7 I
also said to him, If it pleases the king, may I
have letters to the governors of Trans-
Euphrates, so that they will provide me
safe-conduct until I arrive in Judah? 8 And may I
have a letter to Asaph, keeper of the king's
forest, so he will give me timber to make beams
for the gates of the citadel by the temple and
for the city wall and for the residence I will
occupy? And because the gracious hand of my God
was upon me, the king granted my requests.
9 So I went to the governors of Trans-Euphrates
and gave them the king's letters. The king had
also sent army officers and cavalry with me.
