0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>John Stangey, and today we're in Psalms ninety two, ninety three,

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and ninety four, and we'll be reading from the new

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>English translation Psalm ninety two a Psalm a song for

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the Sabbath day. It is fitting to thank the Lord

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and to sing praises to your name, O sovereign One.

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>It is fitting to proclaim your loyal love in the

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 1>morning and your faithfulness during the night, to the accompaniment

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>of a ten stringed instrument and a leer, to the

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>accompaniment of the meditative tone of the harp. For you,

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>oh Lord, have made me happy by your work. I

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>will sing for joy because of what you have done.

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>How great are your works, Oh Lord? Your plans are

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 1>very intricate. The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this. The

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:16.400
<v Speaker 1>fool does not understand this. When the wicked sprout up

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>like grass, and all the evil doers glisten, it is

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:25.759
<v Speaker 1>so that they may be annihilated. But you, oh Lord,

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>reign forever. Indeed, look at your enemies Oh Lord, Indeed,

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>look at how your enemies perish. All the evildoers are scattered.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.639
<v Speaker 1>You exalt my horn like that of a wild ox.

0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I am covered with fresh oil. I gloat in triumph

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>over those who tried to ambush me. I hear the

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>defeated cries of the evil foes who attacked me. The

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Godly grow like a palm tree. They grow high, like

0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a cedar in Lebanon, Planted in the Lord's house. They

0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>grow in the courts of our God. They bear fruit

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>even when they are old. They are filled with vitality

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and have many leaves. So they proclaim that the Lord,

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>my protector, is just and never unfair Psalm ninety three.

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>The Lord reigns. He is robed in majesty. The Lord

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 1>is robed, he wears strength around his waist. Indeed, the

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>world is established, it cannot be moved. Your throne has

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:40.239
<v Speaker 1>been secure from ancient times. You have always been king.

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 1>The waves roar, o Lord, the waves roar. The waves

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>roar and crash above the sound of the surging water

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and the mighty waves of the sea. The Lord sits

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>enthroned in majesty. The rules you set down are completely reliable,

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>holiness aptly adorns your house, O Lord, forever Psalm ninety four.

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh Lord, the God who avenges, Oh God who avenges,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>reveal your splendor, Rise up, oh judge of the earth.

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Pay back the proud, Oh Lord. How long will the wicked?

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.679
<v Speaker 1>How long will the wicked celebrate? They spew out threats

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and speak defiantly. All the evildoers boast, Oh Lord. They

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>crush your people, They oppress the nation that belongs to you.

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>They kill the widow and the one residing outside his

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>native land, and they murder the fatherless. Then they say,

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the Lord does not see this. The God of Jacob

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>does not take notice of it. Take notice of this,

0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you ignorant people, You fools. When will you ever unders stand?

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Does the one who make the human ear not hear?

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Does the one who forms the human eye not see?

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Does the one who disciplines the nations not punish? He

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>is the one who imparts knowledge to human beings. The

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Lord knows that people's thoughts are morally bankrupt. How blessed

0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>is the one whom you instruct, o Lord, the one

0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>whom you teach from your law in order to protect

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>him from times of trouble, Until the wicked are destroyed. Certainly,

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the Lord does not forsake his people. He does not

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>abandon the nation that belongs to him. For justice will prevail,

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>and all the morally upright will be vindicated. Who will

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>stand up for me against the evildoers. If the Lord

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 1>had not helped me, I would have laid down in

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>the silence of death. If I say my foot is slipping,

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Your loyal love, O, Lord, supports me when worries threaten

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to overwhelm me. Your soothing touch makes me happy. Cruel

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:18.239
<v Speaker 1>rulers are not your allies. Those who make oppressive laws.

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>They conspire against the blameless and condemned to death the innocent.

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 1>But the Lord will protect me, and my God will

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>shelter me. He will pay them back for their sin.

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>He will destroy them because of their evil. The Lord,

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>our God, will destroy them. Let's pray. Lord, we thank

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:44.599
<v Speaker 1>you for your word, and we thank you for the

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:47.479
<v Speaker 1>privilege of being able to look at it together today.

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>And Lord, just as the psalms remind us, we are

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 1>morally bankrupt in and of ourselves. The thoughts of our

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>minds and the thoughts of our hearts go in a

0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 1>direction Lord that's not of you. It's not healthy wise,

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not godly. But at the same time, we know

0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>that you looked at us with compassion, and you sent

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>your son Jesus Christ into this world to rescue and

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.039
<v Speaker 1>redeem us. And now through faith in Jesus, we have

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>a new mind and we have a new heart, and

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.839
<v Speaker 1>we see things from your perspective. So Lord, we're grateful

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.280
<v Speaker 1>for the fact that you have forgiven our sin, and

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you have given us a brand new mind and a

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 1>brand new heart through your son Christ Jesus. And we

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>pray Lord that today and throughout the course of every

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>day that we live, that we would live in the

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>midst of this new heart and new nature that we

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>have from Christ. We're grateful Lord for these gifts. We're

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>grateful for your presence with us as well, and we

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 1>commit this day to your care and thank you for

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>all of these things in Jesus's name. Amen.
