Psalm 122:6

O Yahweh, God Almighty,
God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
and Father of all who confess with their mouths
and believe in their hearts that Jesus is Lord;

We pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
We pray, that by your sovereign mercy and grace,
you would visit the land of Israel
with your powerful presence.
We pray you would restrain the diabolical evil,
and contain the demonic violence present in the land.
We pray you would confirm the decisions and policies
of the elected leadership, the Knesset and the courts,

that are in keeping with your perfect will.
We pray you would purge from leadership positions,
and constrain the excesses of those
who will not submit to your will.

“O God, do not keep silent;
be not quiet, O God, be not still.
See how your enemies are astir,
how your foes rear their heads.
With cunning they conspire against your people.
They plot against those you cherish.
‘Come’, they say, ‘let us destroy them as a nation,
that the name of Israel be remembered no more.’
With one mind they plot together;
they form an alliance against you. …
Let them know that you, whose name is the Yahweh —
that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.”

For you, our Father, have declared,
“If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.”
“Can a mother forget the baby nursing at her breast
or have no compassion on the child of her womb?
Though she may forget, I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.”

We pray O Yahweh, a fountain will be opened
to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
O God, we who call upon the name of Yahweh,
will give ourselves no rest – and will give you no rest,
till you establish Jerusalem and
make her a praise in all the earth.
Be pleased to hasten the day when all Israel will cry out,
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of Yahweh.”

Hear our prayer O Yahweh,

for we pray in the strong name of Jesus our Redeemer and Messiah,
our risen, reigning and returning Prince of Peace.

Amen and Amen
