I'm 4 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 1: John Stogey, and today we're reading Psalm sixty two and 5 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: sixty three, and we'll be reading from the new English 6 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: translation for the music director Jeduthan a Psalm of David. 7 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: For God alone, I patiently wait. He is the one 8 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: who delivers me. He alone is my protector and deliverer. 9 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: He is my refuge. I will not be upended. How 10 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: long will you threaten a man? All of you are murderers, 11 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence. 12 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: They spend all their time planning how to bring him down. 13 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: They love to use deceit. They pronounce blessings with their mouths, 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: but inwardly they utter curses. Say lah, patiently wait for 15 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: God alone my soul, for he is the one who 16 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 1: gives me confidence. He alone is my protector and deliverer. 17 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: He is my refuge. I will not be upended. God 18 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: delivers me and exalts me. God is my strong protector 19 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: and my shelter. Trust in Him at all times. You 20 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: people pour out your hearts before him. God is our shelter. 21 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: Say lah, Men are nothing but a mere breath. Human 22 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: beings are unreliable when they are weighed in the scales, 23 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: all of them together are lighter than air. Do not 24 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: trust in what you can gain by oppression. Do not 25 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: put false confidence in what you can gain by robbery. 26 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: If wealth increases, do not become attached to it. God 27 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: has declared one principle, two principles. I have heard God 28 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: is strong, and you, oh Lord, demonstrate loyal love for you. 29 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: Repay men for what they do. Psalm sixty three, a 30 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: psalm of David, written when he was in the Judaean wilderness. 31 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: Oh God, you are my God. I long for you. 32 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: My soul thirsts for you. My flesh yearns for you. 33 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: In a dry and parched land where there is no water. Yes, 34 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: in the sanctuary, I have seen you and witnessed your 35 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: power and splendor. Because experiencing your loyal love is better 36 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: than life itself. My lips will praise you for this reason. 37 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: I will praise you while I live in your name. 38 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: I will lift up my hands as if with choice 39 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: meet you. Satisfy my soul. My mouth joyfully praises you 40 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: whenever I remember you on my bed and think about 41 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: you during the nighttime hours. For you are my deliverer. 42 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:24,679 Speaker 1: Under your wings, I rejoice. My soul pursues you. Your 43 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: right hand upholds me. Enemies seek to destroy my life, 44 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: but they will descend into the depths of the earth. 45 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: Each one will be handed over to the sword. Their 46 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: corpses will be eaten by jackals. But the king will 47 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: rejoice in God. Everyone who takes oaths in his name 48 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies 49 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: will be shut up. Let's pray. Lord, We thank you 50 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: for your word, and we thank you for the privilege 51 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: to be able to look at it today. And we 52 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: thank you, Lord for the promises that we see in 53 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: these particular psalms, ways that you assure your children that 54 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: you are present with us, and that your strength can 55 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: be relied upon. Lord. Likewise, we're grateful for the reminders 56 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: here that you are the one that satisfies the yearnings 57 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: and the thirsts of our souls. Lord, we know that 58 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: there are so many things in this world that at 59 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: times we try to find some level of satisfaction through, 60 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: But we know that ultimately satisfaction for our souls can 61 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: only come from you. Our souls are truly satisfied in you, 62 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, and we're grateful for that reality. We're grateful 63 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: that in you, Lord, we find everything that we need. So, Lord, 64 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: we thank you for this day, We thank you for 65 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: your presence with us in it, and we thank you, 66 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: Lord for the fact that in you we find the 67 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: strength that we need for each moment of our lives. 68 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: We just give you the praise for all of these things, Lord, 69 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 1: and we thank you for it all in Jesus his name, Amen, mhm.
