Speaker 1: tash Heth a mick Tom of David. When Saul sent

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: men and they watched the house in order to kill him.

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: Deliver me from my enemies, Oh my God, Set me

10
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: securely on high, away from those who rise up against me.

11
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Deliver me from those who do iniquity, and save me

12
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: from men of bloodshed. For behold, they have set an

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: ambush for my life. Men launch an attack against me.

14
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, o Lord,

15
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: for no guilt of mine. They run and set themselves

16
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: against me. Arouse yourself to help me, and see you, o, Lord,

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: God of Hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish

18
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: all the nations. Do not be gracious to any who

19
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: are treacherous in iniquity. Saylah. They return at evening, They

20
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: howl like a dog and go around the city. Behold,

21
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: they belch forth with their mouth. Swords are in their lips.

22
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: For they say, who hears, But you, O Lord, laugh

23
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: at them, You scoff at all the nations. Because of

24
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: his strength. I will watch for you. For God is

25
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: my stronghold. My God, in his loving kindness will meet me.

26
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: God will let me look triumphantly upon my foes. Do

27
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: not slay them, or my people will forget. Scatter them

28
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: by your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield,

29
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: on account of the sin of their mouth and the

30
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: words of their lips. Let them even be caught in

31
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: their pride, and on account of curses and lies which

32
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 1: they utter, Destroy them in wrath, Destroy them that they

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: may be no more, that men may know that God

34
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Saylah.

35
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: They return at evening. They howl like a dog and

36
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: go around the city. They wander about for food and

37
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: growl if they are not satisfied. But as for me,

38
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: I shall sing of your strength. Yes, I shall joyfully

39
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: sing of your loving kindness in the morning, for you

40
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: of my distress. Oh my strength, I will sing praises

42
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: to you, for God is my stronghold, the God who

Speaker 1: give us help against the adversary. For deliverance by man

66
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:07,400
