Servant

Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You.

May Your eyes be open toward this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your Name, so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

Hear the plea of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. May You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. May You hear and forgive.

O LORD God, do not reject Your anointed one. Remember Your loving devotion to Your servant David.”

Yet Jeroboam son of Nebat, a servant of Solomon son of David, rose up and rebelled against his master.

So the king called Jehoiada the high priest and said, “Why have you not required the Levites to bring from Judah and Jerusalem the tax imposed by Moses the servant of the LORD and by the assembly of Israel for the Tent of the Testimony?”

And a proclamation was issued in Judah and Jerusalem that they were to bring to the LORD the tax imposed by Moses the servant of God on Israel in the wilderness.

And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.

…and commanded Hilkiah, Ahikam son of Shaphan, Abdon son of Micah, Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the servant of the king:

…let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to hear the prayer that I, Your servant, now pray before You day and night for Your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins that we Israelites have committed against You. Both I and my father’s house have sinned.

We have behaved corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, statutes, and ordinances that You gave Your servant Moses.

Remember, I pray, the word that You commanded Your servant Moses when You said, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,

O Lord, may Your ear be attentive to my prayer and to the prayers of Your servants who delight to revere Your name. Give Your servant success this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” (At that time I was the cupbearer to the king.)

…and answered the king, “If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city where my fathers are buried, so that I may rebuild it.”

At that time I also said to the people, “Let every man and his servant spend the night inside Jerusalem, so that they can stand guard by night and work by day.”

The fifth time, Sanballat sent me this same message by his young servant, who had in his hand an unsealed letter

You revealed to them Your holy Sabbath and gave them commandments and statutes and laws through Your servant Moses.

…hereby join with their noble brothers and commit themselves with a sworn oath to follow the Law of God given through His servant Moses and to obey carefully all the commandments, ordinances, and statutes of the LORD our Lord.

Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil.”

Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one on earth like him, a man who is blameless and upright, who fears God and shuns evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause.”

I call for my servant, but he does not answer, though I implore him with my own mouth.

After the LORD had spoken these words to Job, He said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and your two friends. For you have not spoken about Me accurately, as My servant Job has.

So now, take seven bulls and seven rams, go to My servant Job, and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. Then My servant Job will pray for you, for I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. For you have not spoken accurately about Me, as My servant Job has.”

For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.

By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.

Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.

Hide not Your face from me, nor turn away Your servant in anger. You have been my helper; do not leave me or forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Make Your face shine on Your servant; save me by Your loving devotion.

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes.

Hide not Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me quickly!

He chose David His servant and took him from the sheepfolds;

Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.

Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.

You said, “I have made a covenant with My chosen one, I have sworn to David My servant:

I have found My servant David; with My sacred oil I have anointed him.

You have renounced the covenant with Your servant and sullied his crown in the dust.

O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.

Though they curse, You will bless. When they rise up, they will be put to shame, but Your servant will rejoice.

Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

Truly, O LORD, I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have broken my bonds.

Deal bountifully with Your servant, that I may live and keep Your word.

Though rulers sit and slander me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

Establish Your word to Your servant, to produce reverence for You.

Remember Your word to Your servant, upon which You have given me hope.

You are good to Your servant, O LORD, according to Your word.

May Your loving devotion comfort me, I pray, according to Your promise to Your servant.

How many days must Your servant wait? When will You execute judgment on my persecutors?

Deal with Your servant according to Your loving devotion, and teach me Your statutes.

I am Your servant; give me understanding, that I may know Your testimonies.

Make Your face shine upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.

Your promise is completely pure; therefore Your servant loves it.

I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.

For the sake of Your servant David, do not reject Your anointed one.

…a heritage to His servant Israel. His loving devotion endures forever.

Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

And in Your loving devotion, cut off my enemies. Destroy all who afflict me, for I am Your servant.

…to Him who gives victory to kings, who frees His servant David from the deadly sword.

He who brings trouble on his house will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.

Better to be lightly esteemed yet have a servant, than to be self-important but lack food.

A king delights in a wise servant, but his anger falls on the shameful.

A wise servant will rule over a disgraceful son and share his inheritance as one of the brothers.

A servant cannot be corrected by words alone; though he understands, he will not respond.

A servant pampered from his youth will bring grief in the end.

Do not slander a servant to his master, or he will curse you, and you will bear the guilt.

…a servant who becomes king, a fool who is filled with food,

Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.

Then the LORD said, “Just as My servant Isaiah has gone naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and omen against Egypt and Cush,

On that day I will summon My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah.

…people and priest alike, servant and master, maid and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.

‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”

“But you, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, descendant of Abraham My friend—

I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said, ‘You are My servant.’ I have chosen and not rejected you.

“Here is My Servant, whom I uphold, My Chosen One, in whom My soul delights. I will put My Spirit on Him, and He will bring justice to the nations.

Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?

Who is blind but My servant, or deaf like the messenger I am sending? Who is blind like My covenant partner, or blind like the servant of the LORD?

“You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, and after Me none will come.

But now listen, O Jacob My servant, Israel, whom I have chosen.

This is the word of the LORD, your Maker, who formed you from the womb and who will help you: “Do not be afraid, O Jacob My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are My servant, O Israel. I have made you, and you are My servant; O Israel, I will never forget you.

Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are My servant, O Israel. I have made you, and you are My servant; O Israel, I will never forget you.

…who confirms the message of His servant and fulfills the counsel of His messengers, who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited,’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt, and I will restore their ruins,’

For the sake of Jacob My servant and Israel My chosen one, I call you by name; I have given you a title of honor, though you have not known Me.

Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a shout of joy, proclaim it, let it go out to the ends of the earth, saying, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!”

He said to Me, “You are My Servant, Israel, in whom I will display My glory.”

And now says the LORD, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to bring Jacob back to Him, that Israel might be gathered to Him—for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and My God is My strength—

He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”

Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”

Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.

Behold, My Servant will prosper; He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.

After the anguish of His soul, He will see the light of life and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant will justify many, and He will bear their iniquities.

…behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.

So now I have placed all these lands under the authority of My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. I have even made the beasts of the field subject to him.

As for you, O Jacob My servant, do not be afraid, declares the LORD, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their captivity! Jacob will return to quiet and ease, with no one to make him afraid.

…then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.

As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”
