What is the prayer of simeon?

Answer 1

In this Old Testament category, you are probably speaking of the son of Israel, Simeon. Just before Israel's death, he revealed to each of his sons their future as God told him:

Genesis 49:5-7New King James Version (NKJV)

5 "Simeon and Levi are brothers;

Instruments of cruelty are in their dwelling place.

6 Let not my soul enter their council;

Let not my honor be united to their assembly;

For in their anger they slew a man,

And in their self-will they hamstrung an ox.

7 Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;

And their wrath, for it is cruel!

I will divide them in Jacob

And scatter them in Israel.

This occurred when Israel divided into the Northern and Southern Kingdoms with Simeon going primarily to the Southern Kingdom of Judah. Others from this tribe were scattered among his lost 10 tribe brothers of the Northern Kingdom' diaspora - no longer knowing his identity along with the other tribes except Judah (Jews) who kept God's Sabbaths.

Answer 2

"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel." (Luke 2:29-32)

The Prayer of Simeon, also known as the Canticle of Simeon or Nunc Dimittis, is a passage in The Bible found in the Gospel of Luke. In this prayer, Simeon praises God for letting him see the Messiah before he dies. It is often recited or sung as part of Christian worship services.
