The 11 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: plowers plowed upon my back, they lengthened their furrows. The 12 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: Lord is righteous. He has cut into the chords of 13 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: the wicked. May all who hate Zion be put to 14 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: shame and turned backward. Let them be like grass upon 15 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: the housetops, which withers before it grows up, with which 16 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: the reaper does not fill his hand, or the binder 17 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: of sheaves his bosom. Nor do those who pass by say, 18 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: the blessing of the Lord be upon you. We bless 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: you in the name of the Lord.

My soul waits for 27 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: the Lord, more than the watchmen for the mourning, indeed 28 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: more than the watchmen for the morning. Oh Israel, hope 29 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: in the Lord. For with the Lord there is loving kindness, 30 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: and with him is abundant redemption, and he will redeem 31 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: Israel from all his iniquities.

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul. 36 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Like a weaned child rests against his mother, My soul 37 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: is like a weaned child within me.

Surely, 42 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: I will not enter my house nor lie on my bed. 43 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber 44 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: to my eyelids, until I find a place for the Lord, 45 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob. Behold, 46 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: we heard of it in Ephratha. We found it in 47 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: the field of j r. Let us go into his 48 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: dwelling place. Let us worship at his footstool. Arise, o, Lord, 49 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength. 50 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: Let your priests be clothed with righteousness, and let your 51 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: godly ones sing for joy. For the sake of David, 52 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: your servant. Do not turn away the face of your anointed. 53 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: The Lord has sworn to David a truth from which 54 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: he will not turn back. Of the fruit of your body, 55 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: I will set upon your throne. And if your sons 56 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: will keep my covenant and my testimony which I will 57 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: teach them, their sons also shall sit upon your throne forever. 58 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it 59 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: for his habitation. This is my resting place forever. Here 60 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: I will dwell, for I have desired it. I will 61 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her needy with bread. 62 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 1: Her priests also I will clothe with salvation, and her 63 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: godly ones will sing aloud for joy. There I will 64 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: cause the horn of David to spring forth. I have 65 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: prepared a lamp for mine, anointed his enemies. I will 66 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: clothe with shame, but upon himself his crown shall shine. 67 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: Let's pray, Lord, we thank you for your word, and 68 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: we thank you for the privilege to be able to 69 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: look at it today.

And every need will bow, and 77 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to 78 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: the glory of God the Father.
