26 – Come and Worship: Understanding Petition and Supplication and Our Need for an Omnipotent God
Psalm
Psalm 26
Main Topic
We wrap up our discussion of the Psalm model with three concepts: Petition, Supplication, and Call to Action.
Petition
To petition someone is to see that person as higher, superior to you, who you nonetheless ask for something from. We mention a couple Psalms that relate to this concept.
- Psalm 6
- Psalm 17:6
- Psalm 102:2
- Psalm 9:13
Supplication
Supplication is very similar to Petition, but perhaps with a bit more pleading to it. In Psalms where the Psalmist displays supplication, he is typically begging God to do something about a big situation.
- Psalm 103:2
- Psalm 28:2
- Psalm 86
For an excellent musical example, see the Cardiphonia album, My Mouth Does Breathe (The Alone Instrument).
Call to Action
A Psalm that is calling the worshipers to something we’ve dubbed the catchy title, “Call to Action.” Many Psalms do this from the very first one straight through the last.
- Psalm 103:1-2, 20-22
- Psalm 1
- Psalm 133
- Psalm 67
- Psalm 135
We have also updated the Psalm Model on our website to reflect what we’ve talked about.
