They Are Down on Their Knees *'222'* (Jul 4, 2024)

-----
Isaiah 1:18 (CEV)
I, the Lord, invite you
to come and talk it over.
Your sins are scarlet red,
but they will be whiter
than snow or wool.
-----
Psalms 10:8 (NLT)
They lurk in ambush in the villages,
waiting to murder innocent people.
They are always searching for helpless victims.

Isaiah 10:8 (NLT)
He will say,
‘Each of my princes will soon be a king.
-----
Psalms 15:1,2,4,5 (NLT)
1 Who may worship in your sanctuary, Lord?
Who may enter your presence on your holy hill?
2 Those who lead blameless lives and do what is right,
speaking the truth from sincere hearts.
4 Those who despise flagrant sinners,
and honor the faithful followers of the Lord,
and keep their promises even when it hurts.
5 Those who lend money without charging interest,
and who cannot be bribed to lie about the innocent.
Such people will stand firm forever.
-----
Isaiah 15:1,2,4,5 (NLT)
1 This message came to me concerning Moab:
In one night the town of Ar will be leveled,
and the city of Kir will be destroyed.
2 Your people will go to their temple in Dibon to mourn.
They will go to their sacred shrines to weep.
They will wail for the fate of Nebo and Medeba,
shaving their heads in sorrow and cutting off their beards.
4 The people of Heshbon and Elealeh will cry out;
their voices will be heard as far away as Jahaz!
The bravest warriors of Moab will cry out in utter terror.
They will be helpless with fear.
5 My heart weeps for Moab.
Its people flee to Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah.
Weeping, they climb the road to Luhith.
Their cries of distress can be heard all along the road to
Horonaim.
-----
Psalms 53:6 (CEV)
I long for someone from Zion
to come and save Israel!
Our God, when you bless
your people again,
Jacob's family will be glad,
and Israel will celebrate.
-----
Isaiah 53:6-7 (CEV)
6 All of us were like sheep
that had wandered off.
We had each gone our own way,
but the Lord gave him
the punishment we deserved.
7 He was painfully abused,
but he did not complain.
He was silent like a lamb
being led to the butcher,
as quiet as a sheep
having its wool cut off.
-----
Psalms 113:6,8,9 (NLT)
6 He stoops to look down
on heaven and on earth.
8 He sets them among princes,
even the princes of his own people!
9 He gives the childless woman a family,
making her a happy mother.
Praise the Lord!
-----
Psalms 114:1 (CEV)
God brought his people
out of Egypt, that land
with a strange language.
