Revealing Abba in the Psalms | How Jesus saw God as Abba

Revealing Abba in Psalm 66

May all people and all nations shout for joy unto You Abba;

Singing forth as they behold the abundance and the fullness of Your glory revealed in Me; You have spoken most eloquently of Your good opinion of them, making their praise and thanksgiving perfect;

Let all see and say unto You Abba; How awesome are Your works; through Your power to conquer death; have You subdued all the ways that stand contrary to Your teaching and instruction unto life;

So that all the nations of the earth can be gathered unto You; singing to You, calling upon Your name;

Come and behold in Me the work that Abba has done to gather the children of men unto Himself;

Just as Abba turned the sea into dry land; so that the children of Israel went through on foot; do we also rejoice in Abba delivering us from death;

He has set Me at His right hand to rule forever; His eyes have always been upon all people; the just and the unjust; and those who reject Him trusting in themselves shall not be exalted;

All blessing and life come from You Abba; sing His praise all you people; and declare His goodness to all who will hear it;

You alone are the giver of life and You will not leave Me in the grave or allow Me to see corruption;

So that You O Abba might refine the hearts of Your beloved; to trust in You and not themselves;

Though death brought them into bondage; and laid affliction upon them;

Trampling, abusing and making slaves of Your beloved; In Me Abba have You brought them out, revealing that life and immortality are only found in You;

I go into Your presence with My blood; declaring You are the only source of the life revealed in Me, in My resurrection;

Which My lips have spoken in crying out to You in My affliction;

This is the finest and best offering that Your heart Abba has always desired; a sweet-smelling fragrance unto You; that all might call upon Your name and live;

May all come and hear what You have done to rescue My life from the grave and set Me at Your right hand;

I cried unto You in My affliction and worshiped You with My tongue;

If I had exalted My own ability to save Myself from death, I would have never cried out for all to hear;

But I did cry out, and Abba heard Me; and He has answered by raising Me up to glory and immortality in My resurrection;

Blessing, glory and honor unto You Abba; You never turned away from Me but You heard My prayer, saving Me in My affliction; nor have You ever wavered from the hope of the everlasting life and immortality You had for Me and all Your beloved.
