3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: John Stanghy, and today we're in Psalms seventy nine and

5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: eighty and we'll be reading from the New American Standard Bible.

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: Psalm seventy nine a psalm of asaff, Oh God, the

7
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: nations have invaded your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple.

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: They have laid Jerusalem in ruins. They have given the

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: dead bodies of your servants for food to the birds

10
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: of the heavens, the flesh of your godly ones to

11
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: the beasts of the earth. They have poured out their

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was no

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: one to bury them. We have become a reproach to

14
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those around us.

15
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 1: How long, oh Lord, will you be angry? Forever? Will

16
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out your wrath upon

17
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: the nations which do not know you, and upon the

18
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: kingdoms which do not call upon your name. For they

19
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation do not

20
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your

21
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: compassion come quickly to meet us, for we are brought

22
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: very low. Help us, O, God of our salvation, for

23
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: the glory of your name, and deliver us, and forgive

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 1: our sins for your name's sake. Why should the nations say,

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: where is their God? Let there be known among the

26
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: nations in our sight vengeance for the blood of your

27
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: servants which has been shed. Let the groaning of the

28
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: prisoner come before you according to the greatness of your power.

29
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: Preserve those who are doomed to die, and return to

30
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom the reproach with which

31
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: they have reproached you, Oh Lord, So we your people

32
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: and the sheep of your pasture will give thanks to

33
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: you forever, to all generations. We will tell of your praise.

34
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: Psalm eighty for the choir director set to l shoshanim

35
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: a duth A, Psalm of Asaf. Oh give ear, Shepherd

36
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, You

37
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,559
Speaker 1: who are enthroned above the Cherubim, shine forth before Ephrium

38
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: and Benjamin and Manassah. Stir up your power and come

39
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: to save us, Oh God, restore us, and cause your

40
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: to shine upon us, and we will be saved. Oh Lord,

41
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: God of hosts, How long will you be angry with

42
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: the prayer of your people. You have fed them with

43
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: the bread of tears, and you have made them to

44
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: drink tears. In large measure. You make us an object

45
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.

46
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: Oh God of Hosts, restore us, and cause your face

47
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: to shine upon us, and we will be saved. You

48
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: remove Divine from Egypt. You drove out the nations and

49
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: planted it. You cleared the ground before it, and it

50
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: took deep root and filled the land. The mountains were

51
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: covered with its shadow, and the cedars of God with

52
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: its boughs. It was sending out its branches to the sea,

53
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: and it shoots to the river. Why have you broken

54
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: down its hedges so that all who pass that way

55
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: pick its fruit. A boar from the forest eats it away,

56
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: and whatever moves in the field feeds on it. Oh

57
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: God of Hosts, turn again. Now. We beseech you look

58
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: down from heaven and sea and take care of this vine.

59
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Even the shoote which your right hand has planted and

60
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: on the sun, whom you have strengthened for yourself. It

61
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: is burned with fire, it is cut down. They perish

62
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: at the rebuke of your countenance. Let your hand be

63
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: upon the man of your right hand, upon the son

64
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: of man, whom you made strong for yourself. Then we

65
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: shall not turn back from you. Revive us, and we

66
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: will call upon your name, Oh Lord, God of Hosts,

67
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: restore us. Cause your face to shine upon us, and

68
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: we will be saved. Let's pray. Lord, we thank you

69
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: for your and we thank you for the privilege of

70
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: being able to look at this portion of scripture today

71
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: from these two psalms. And Lord, we're grateful that, just

72
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: as the Psalmist does in these passages, that when we

73
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: have heartfelt needs, that we can come before you and

74
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: just lay our hearts bare and ask for you to

75
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: intervene on our behalf, And that likewise we can pray

76
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: to you on behalf of those that we care about,

77
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: asking for your intervention for those who are suffering and

78
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: hurting and in a state where they're feeling like their destitute. Lord,

79
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: like always, we're grateful to be able to notice areas

80
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: of the scripture that you're using to point our hearts

81
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: to your son, Jesus Christ. And Lord, we see here

82
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: references to the son of Man, and we see a

83
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: reference to the son whom you have strengthened for yourself.

84
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: And we know Lord that these references ultimately find their

85
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: fulfillment in your son, Jesus Christ. So we thank you

86
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: Lord that wherever we are in the scriptures, whether we're

87
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: in the Old Testament or the New Testament, we can

88
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: see that your word points to Jesus, your son. So Lord,

89
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: thank you for allowing us to see these things. Thank

90
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: you for allowing us to be reminded that salvation is

91
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: found in no other name under heaven other than the

92
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ. And we thank you Lord that

93
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: through faith in Jesus we have the privilege to be

94
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: made into a new creation, and that by your grace

95
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: we have the privilege to be part of your kingdom forever.

96
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: So we thank you for all of these things, and

97
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: we thank you for your presence with us today. We

98
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
