0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.919
<v Speaker 1>John Stangey, and today we're in Psalms one oh one

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and one O two, and we'll be reading from the

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>English Standard version Psalm one oh one, a psalm of David.

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I will sing of steadfast love and justice to you,

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh Lord, I will make music. I will ponder the

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>way that is blameless. Oh, when will you come to me?

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I will walk with integrity of heart within my house.

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless.

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I hate the work of those who fall away. It

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>shall not cling to me. A perverse heart shall be

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>far from me. I will know nothing of evil. Whoever

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 1>slanders his neighbors secretly, I will destroy whoever has a

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 1>haughty look and an arrogant heart. I will not endure.

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I will look with favor on the faithful in the

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>land that they may dwell with me. He who walks

0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.

0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 1>No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house.

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>No one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes mourning.

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.960
<v Speaker 1>By morning, I will destroy all the wicked in the land,

0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the Lord.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Psalm one O two. A prayer of one afflicted when

0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord.

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Hear my prayer, O Lord, let my cry come to you.

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Do not hide your face from me in the day

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>of my distress. Incline your ear to me. Answer me speedily.

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>In the day when I call for, my days pass

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>My heart is struck down like grass and has withered.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I forget to eat my bread because of my loud groaning,

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>my bones cling to my flesh. I am like a

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>waste places. I lie awake. I am like a lonely

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>sparrow on the housetop. All the day. My enemies taunt me.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Those who deride me. Use my name for a curse.

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>For I eat ashes like bread, and mingle my tears

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>with my drink. Because of your indignation and anger. For

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you have taken me up and thrown me down. My

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>days are like an evening shadow, I wither away like grass.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>But you, o Lord, are enthroned forever You are remembered

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>throughout all generations. You will arise and have pity on Zion.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>It is the time to favor her. The appointed time

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>has come for your servants. Hold her stones dear, and

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>have pity on her dust. Nations will fear the name

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>will fear your glory. For the Lord builds up Zion.

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>He appears in his glory. He regards the prayer of

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the destitute, and does not despise their prayer. Let this

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>be recorded for a generation to come, so that a

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:43.040
<v Speaker 1>people yet to be created may praise the Lord. That

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>he looked down from his holy height from heaven. The

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Lord looked at the earth to hear the groans of

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die,

0:03:54.120 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord,

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>and in Jerusalem his praise. When peoples gather together and

0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>kingdoms to worship the Lord. He has broken my strength

0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in mid course, he has shortened my days. Oh my God,

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I say, take me not away in the midst of

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>my days, You whose years endure throughout all generations of old.

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>You laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>are the work of your hands. They will perish, but

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>you will remain. They will all wear out like a garment.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 1>You will change them like a robe, and they will

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>pass away. But you are the same, and your years

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 1>have no end. The children of your servants shall dwell secure,

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>their offspring shall be established before you. Let's pray, Lord,

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.279
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for your word, and we thank you

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>for the privilege of being able to look at it

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>together today, and we thank you for the reminders we

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>see and what we read together today of the fact

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>that there will be a day when the nations recognize

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>you and they bow down to you and they worship you.

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>And we know, Lord, that this will ultimately be fulfilled

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>in the return and the rule and the reign of

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>your son Jesus Christ, whom the scriptures tell us will

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>return to this earth and rule with perfect justice. So

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>we're grateful to have the privilege to trust in your

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>son during this season of our life, and likewise to

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>have the privilege to be part of his eternal kingdom.

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>We're grateful for these realities. Lord, We're grateful for your love.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>We're grateful for the fact that your scriptures remind us

0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>of these truths, and in addition to being reminded of them, Lord,

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 1>they're revealed to us in the first place through your scriptures.

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>So again, we're grateful to have the privilege to access

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 1>your word and internalize its content. Lord, We're grateful for

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.120
