If his children forsake my law and 56 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: do not walk according to my rules, if they violate 57 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: my statutes and do not keep my commandments, then I 58 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: will transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes. 59 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: But I will not remove from him my steadfast love 60 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: or be false to my faithfulness.

His offspring shall 64 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: endure forever his throne as long as the sun before me, 65 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: Like the moon, it shall be established forever, a faithful 66 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: witness in the skies. Seilah. But now you have cast 67 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: off and rejected. You are full of wrath against your anointed. 68 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: You have renounced the covenant with your servant. You have 69 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: defiled his crown in the dust. You have breached all 70 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: his walls. You have laid his strongholds in ruins. All 71 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: who pass by plunder him. He has become the scorn 72 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: of his neighbors. You have exalted the right hand of 73 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 1: his foes. You have made all his enemies rejoice. You 74 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: have also turned back the edge of his sword. And 75 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: you have not made him stand in battle. You have 76 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: made his splendor to cease, and cast his throne to 77 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: the ground. You have cut short the days of his youth. 78 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 1: You have covered him with shame. Seilah. How long, o Lord, 79 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath 80 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: burn like fire? Remember how short my time is? For 81 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: what vanity you have created all the children of man? 82 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: What man can live and never see death? Who can 83 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: deliver his soul from the power of shield Sailah. Lord, 84 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: Where is your steadfast love of old, which, by your 85 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: faithfulness you swore to David. Oh Lord, how your servants 86 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the 87 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: insults of all the many nations with which your enemies mock, O, Lord, 88 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: with which they mocked the footsteps of your anointed. Blessed 89 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: be the Lord forever. Amen and Amen, let's pray.
