Abide: Praying the Psalms

DAY 9 OF 15

PRAYING SCRIPTURE

Psalm 128:1–6

Sometimes called the Marriage Song, Psalm 128 has been associated with weddings for centuries. Christian marriage builds on this rich legacy. Those desiring to flourish in their marriage can meditate on this psalm (in addition to studying other Scriptures about marriage). According to the psalmist, wisdom for marriage and family begins with the fear of the Lord (v. 4). A marriage blessed by the Lord is one in which a husband and wife choose to walk in the Lord’s ways (v. 1). Pray for the marriages in your sphere of influence. Ask that these marriages know the blessing and peace of the Lord (vv. 1, 4−6).

About this Plan

Abide: Praying the Psalms

Pray through the fifteen Psalms of Ascent (Psalm 120-134) in this 15-day reading plan and experience a deeper connection to God through His Word. Historically, the Psalms of Ascent were songs worshipers sang as they traveled to the temple or national festivals. Excerpts are from The Abide Bible, which provides various Scripture engagement tools--including praying, journaling, contemplating, and more--to help you meet God in God's Word so He can transform your life.
