3
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: You're listening to the chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: John Stangey, and today we're in Psalms one oh one

5
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: and one O two, and we'll be reading from the

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: English Standard version Psalm one oh one, a psalm of David.

7
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: I will sing of steadfast love and justice to you,

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: Oh Lord, I will make music. I will ponder the

9
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: way that is blameless. Oh, when will you come to me?

10
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: I will walk with integrity of heart within my house.

11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless.

12
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: I hate the work of those who fall away. It

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall be

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: far from me. I will know nothing of evil. Whoever

15
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: slanders his neighbors secretly, I will destroy whoever has a

16
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: haughty look and an arrogant heart. I will not endure.

17
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: I will look with favor on the faithful in the

18
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: land that they may dwell with me. He who walks

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house.

21
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: No one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes mourning.

22
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: By morning, I will destroy all the wicked in the land,

23
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.

24
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: Psalm one O two. A prayer of one afflicted when

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord.

26
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Hear my prayer, O Lord, let my cry come to you.

27
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: Do not hide your face from me in the day

28
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: of my distress. Incline your ear to me. Answer me speedily.

29
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: In the day when I call for, my days pass

30
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.

31
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: My heart is struck down like grass and has withered.

32
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: I forget to eat my bread because of my loud groaning,

33
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: my bones cling to my flesh. I am like a

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the

35
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: waste places. I lie awake. I am like a lonely

36
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: sparrow on the housetop. All the day. My enemies taunt me.

37
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: Those who deride me. Use my name for a curse.

38
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: For I eat ashes like bread, and mingle my tears

39
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: with my drink. Because of your indignation and anger. For

40
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 1: you have taken me up and thrown me down. My

41
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: days are like an evening shadow, I wither away like grass.

42
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: But you, o Lord, are enthroned forever You are remembered

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: throughout all generations. You will arise and have pity on Zion.

44
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: It is the time to favor her. The appointed time

45
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: has come for your servants. Hold her stones dear, and

46
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: have pity on her dust. Nations will fear the name

47
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth

48
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: will fear your glory. For the Lord builds up Zion.

49
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: He appears in his glory. He regards the prayer of

50
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: the destitute, and does not despise their prayer. Let this

51
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: be recorded for a generation to come, so that a

52
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: people yet to be created may praise the Lord. That

53
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: he looked down from his holy height from heaven. The

54
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Lord looked at the earth to hear the groans of

55
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die,

56
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord,

57
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: and in Jerusalem his praise. When peoples gather together and

58
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: kingdoms to worship the Lord. He has broken my strength

59
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: in mid course, he has shortened my days. Oh my God,

60
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: I say, take me not away in the midst of

61
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: my days, You whose years endure throughout all generations of old.

62
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens

63
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: are the work of your hands. They will perish, but

64
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: you will remain. They will all wear out like a garment.

65
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: You will change them like a robe, and they will

66
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: pass away. But you are the same, and your years

67
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: have no end. The children of your servants shall dwell secure,

68
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: their offspring shall be established before you. Let's pray, Lord,

69
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: we thank you for your word, and we thank you

70
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: for the privilege of being able to look at it

71
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: together today, and we thank you for the reminders we

72
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: see and what we read together today of the fact

73
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: that there will be a day when the nations recognize

74
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: you and they bow down to you and they worship you.

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: And we know, Lord, that this will ultimately be fulfilled

76
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: in the return and the rule and the reign of

77
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: your son Jesus Christ, whom the scriptures tell us will

78
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: return to this earth and rule with perfect justice. So

79
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: we're grateful to have the privilege to trust in your

80
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 1: son during this season of our life, and likewise to

81
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: have the privilege to be part of his eternal kingdom.

82
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: We're grateful for these realities. Lord, We're grateful for your love.

83
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: We're grateful for the fact that your scriptures remind us

84
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: of these truths, and in addition to being reminded of them, Lord,

85
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: they're revealed to us in the first place through your scriptures.

86
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: So again, we're grateful to have the privilege to access

87
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: your word and internalize its content. Lord, We're grateful for

88
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: your presence with us today. We're grateful for your love,

89
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: and we commit this day to your care and pray

90
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: this all in Jesus' name. Amen. Mm hmmm mm hmm
