0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>John Stangey, and today we're in Psalm eighty nine and

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>we'll be reading from the English Standard version a mass

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>skille of Ethan the Ezra Height. I will sing of

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.480
<v Speaker 1>the steadfast love of the Lord forever. With my mouth,

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>I will make known your faithfulness to all generations. For

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>I said, steadfast love will be built up forever in

0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>the heavens. You will establish your faithfulness. You have said,

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>I have made a covenant with my chosen one. I

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>have sworn to David, my servant. I will establish your

0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>offspring forever and build your throne for all generations. Saylah.

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Let the heavens praise your wonders, Oh Lord, your faithfulness

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>in the assembly of the Holy Ones. For who in

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the skies can be compared to the Lord, who among

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the heavenly beings is like the Lord, a god greatly

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to be feared in the counsel of the Holy Ones,

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.759
<v Speaker 1>and awesome above all who are around him, O, Lord,

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.360
<v Speaker 1>God of Hosts, who is mighty as you are O Lord,

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>with your faithfulness. All around you, You rule the raging

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>of the sea. When its waves rise, you still them.

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>You crushed Rayhab like a carcass. You scattered your enemies

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>with your mighty arm. The heavens are yours. The earth

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>also is yours. The world and all that is in it.

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>You have founded them, the north and the south. You

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>have created them. Tabor and Hermit, joyously praise your name.

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>You have a mighty arm. Strong is your hand, Hi,

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>your right hand. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 1>your throne. Steadfast, love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>are the people who know the festal shout, who walk,

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>O Lord, in the light of your face, who exalt

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 1>in your name all the day and in your righteousness,

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>are exalted. For you are the glory of their strength.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 1>By your favor. Our horn is exalted, for our shield

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>belongs to the Lord, our King, to the Holy One

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of Israel of old. You spoke in a vision to

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>your Godly One and said, I have granted help to

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>one who is mighty. I have exalted one chosen from

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the people. I have found David my servant. With my

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>holy oil. I have anointed him so that My hand

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>shall be established with him. My arm also shall strengthen him.

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>The enemy shall not outwit him, the wicked shall not

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>humble him. I will crush his foes before him, and

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.520
<v Speaker 1>strike down those who hate him. My faithfulness and my

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.839
<v Speaker 1>steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 1>shall his horn be exalted. I will set his hand

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>on the sea and his right hand on the rivers.

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:29.519
<v Speaker 1>He shall cry to me, you are my Father, my God,

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and the rock of my salvation. And I will make

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.720
<v Speaker 1>him the first born, the highest of the kings of

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the earth. My steadfast love I will keep for him forever,

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and my covenant will stand firm for him. I will

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>of the heavens. If his children forsake my law and

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.119
<v Speaker 1>do not walk according to my rules, if they violate

0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>my statutes and do not keep my commandments, then I

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>will transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes.

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>But I will not remove from him my steadfast love

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 1>or be false to my faithfulness. I will not violate

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>my covenant or alter the word that went forth from

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.039
<v Speaker 1>my lips once for all I have sworn by my

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 1>holiness I will not lie to David. His offspring shall

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>endure forever his throne as long as the sun before me,

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Like the moon, it shall be established forever, a faithful

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>witness in the skies. Seilah. But now you have cast

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>off and rejected. You are full of wrath against your anointed.

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>You have renounced the covenant with your servant. You have

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>defiled his crown in the dust. You have breached all

0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>his walls. You have laid his strongholds in ruins. All

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>who pass by plunder him. He has become the scorn

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>of his neighbors. You have exalted the right hand of

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>his foes. You have made all his enemies rejoice. You

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 1>have also turned back the edge of his sword. And

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>you have not made him stand in battle. You have

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.479
<v Speaker 1>made his splendor to cease, and cast his throne to

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the ground. You have cut short the days of his youth.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:28.559
<v Speaker 1>You have covered him with shame. Seilah. How long, o Lord,

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>will you hide yourself forever? How long will your wrath

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>burn like fire? Remember how short my time is? For

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>what vanity you have created all the children of man?

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>What man can live and never see death? Who can

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 1>deliver his soul from the power of shield Sailah. Lord,

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Where is your steadfast love of old, which, by your

0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>faithfulness you swore to David. Oh Lord, how your servants

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>are mocked, and how I bear in my heart the

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>insults of all the many nations with which your enemies mock, O, Lord,

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>with which they mocked the footsteps of your anointed. Blessed

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>be the Lord forever. Amen and Amen, let's pray. Lord.

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>We thank you for your word, and we thank you

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>for the privilege of being able to look at this

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 1>psalm together today. And we thank you Lord for the

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>things that you promised to David that you ultimately fulfilled

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>in your son Jesus Christ. You made a covenant with

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>your chosen one. You swore to David, your servant, that

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you would establish his offspring forever and build his throne

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>for all generations. And we know that this was fulfilled

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>through your son Jesus Christ, one with you, who came

0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to this earth and took on flesh and was born

0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 1>as a descendant of David and rules and reigns forever,

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 1>and all the nations will bow to him. Lord. We're

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.800
<v Speaker 1>grateful for the fact that you keep your word, and

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>that when you make promises you fulfill them. So we're grateful,

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Lord for having seen a partial fulfillment of these things

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>already in the first coming of your son Jesus Christ.

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And we're grateful that we have the privilege to look

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>forward to the ultimate fulfillment of all the things you

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>promised in this particular Psalm. So we're grateful for all

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.440
<v Speaker 1>these things, Lord, and we thank you for your love

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>for us, and we thank you as well for your

0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>presence with us today. We commit this day to your care,

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and we pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
