the psalm of thrones

IMG_0411Psalm 9

God has rescued the king by sitting on his own throne, and giving righteous judgment against his enemies (4). The LORD sits enthroned forever, and has established justice (7).  Therefore it is right for his people to sing praises for him who sits enthroned in Zion (11).  The throne is an image that speaks of authority and power.  David knew what sitting on a throne was for.  He had a throne, but – more importantly – his God had a throne in heaven.

LORD, we envision you on your throne as we pray today.  There is no power or authority that can stand against you.  We ask for your intervention.
