"WHO?"
What is the title
of Psalm 15? A Psalm of David.
Read Psalm 15:1
1 YHWH, who
sojourns in your tent? Who settles in the hill of your holiness?
What is the question?
WHO? Tent – (Tent of meeting, tabernacle) Sojourn means this is someone who doesn't belong!!
Hill –
Read Psalm 15:2
2
“Who” is the answer?
Walker, doer, speaker - wow that's a tall order!
Read 15:3-5
3 He does not
slander with his tongue, he does not do evil to his neighbor and a reproach he
does not lift to his friend.4 One who is despised in his eyes is one who is rejected but the fearers of YHWH he honors. He swears to (his own) hurt and does not change.
5 His silver he does not give with interest and a bribe over the clean/free/innocent he doesn’t take…
What does this person do?
No gossip or hurt to neighbor, discerns what is right, does
not take advantage.
Read 15:5
5 …He does these
things and will not be shaken forever.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?
What is the purpose of this Psalm/prayer?
Teaching - wisdom psalm
How does Christ fulfill this psalm?
Christ is the “WHO”. There is no way we can stand before our God like this!!THIS GUY stands before God - he actually DOES all this stuff.
How can we pray this?
We want to BE Christ. We want his blamelessness & we want to not be shaken.He exchanges His blamelessness for our sinful death. THIS is what God's Word teaches.
Thank God Christ was this!!
WE PRAY:
Hallowed by thy name
What does this mean? Gods name is holy in itself; but we pray in this petition that it may be holy among us also.
How is this done? When the Word of God is taught in truth and purity, and we, as the children of God, live a holy life according to it. This grant us, dear Father in heaven. But those who teach and live otherwise than God’s Word teaches, profane the name of God among us. From this preserve us, Father in heaven.
