Solomon's Prayer

31st January 2004, seh, mgh

 

6) The Psalmist

It would be a grave omission not to mention the words of David, the man after God’s own heart. There was no Temple in Jerusalem in David’s lifetime, but like Stephen, David looked forward to a future Temple to be built in Jerusalem, as we see in Psalm 5

Psalm 5:7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

It must be noted that at the time of King David the Temple had not been built and it would not be built until after his death.

Psalm 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

As Solomon his son does after him, David kneels in prayer.

Psalm 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
