0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to the Chapter a Day Audio Bible. I'm

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>John Stanghy, and today we're in Psalms seventy nine and

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.599
<v Speaker 1>eighty and we'll be reading from the New American Standard Bible.

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Psalm seventy nine a psalm of asaff, Oh God, the

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 1>nations have invaded your inheritance. They have defiled your holy temple.

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>They have laid Jerusalem in ruins. They have given the

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>dead bodies of your servants for food to the birds

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>of the heavens, the flesh of your godly ones to

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>the beasts of the earth. They have poured out their

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 1>blood like water round about Jerusalem, and there was no

0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>one to bury them. We have become a reproach to

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:05.199
<v Speaker 1>our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those around us.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:10.759
<v Speaker 1>How long, oh Lord, will you be angry? Forever? Will

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>your jealousy burn like fire? Pour out your wrath upon

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>the nations which do not know you, and upon the

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 1>kingdoms which do not call upon your name. For they

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>have devoured Jacob and laid waste his habitation do not

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.119
<v Speaker 1>compassion come quickly to meet us, for we are brought

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>very low. Help us, O, God of our salvation, for

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the glory of your name, and deliver us, and forgive

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:49.919
<v Speaker 1>our sins for your name's sake. Why should the nations say,

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>where is their God? Let there be known among the

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>nations in our sight vengeance for the blood of your

0:01:57.440 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>servants which has been shed. Let the groaning of the

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>prisoner come before you according to the greatness of your power.

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Preserve those who are doomed to die, and return to

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:14.640
<v Speaker 1>our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom the reproach with which

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>they have reproached you, Oh Lord, So we your people

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and the sheep of your pasture will give thanks to

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>you forever, to all generations. We will tell of your praise.

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Psalm eighty for the choir director set to l shoshanim

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>a duth A, Psalm of Asaf. Oh give ear, Shepherd

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, You

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:51.559
<v Speaker 1>who are enthroned above the Cherubim, shine forth before Ephrium

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>and Benjamin and Manassah. Stir up your power and come

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.799
<v Speaker 1>to save us, Oh God, restore us, and cause your

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>to shine upon us, and we will be saved. Oh Lord,

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>God of hosts, How long will you be angry with

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the prayer of your people. You have fed them with

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>the bread of tears, and you have made them to

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>drink tears. In large measure. You make us an object

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>of contention to our neighbors, and our enemies laugh among themselves.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh God of Hosts, restore us, and cause your face

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>to shine upon us, and we will be saved. You

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>remove Divine from Egypt. You drove out the nations and

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>planted it. You cleared the ground before it, and it

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 1>took deep root and filled the land. The mountains were

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>covered with its shadow, and the cedars of God with

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>its boughs. It was sending out its branches to the sea,

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and it shoots to the river. Why have you broken

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>down its hedges so that all who pass that way

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>pick its fruit. A boar from the forest eats it away,

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and whatever moves in the field feeds on it. Oh

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>God of Hosts, turn again. Now. We beseech you look

0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>down from heaven and sea and take care of this vine.

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Even the shoote which your right hand has planted and

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>on the sun, whom you have strengthened for yourself. It

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>is burned with fire, it is cut down. They perish

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:31.480
<v Speaker 1>at the rebuke of your countenance. Let your hand be

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>upon the man of your right hand, upon the son

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>of man, whom you made strong for yourself. Then we

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 1>shall not turn back from you. Revive us, and we

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.880
<v Speaker 1>will call upon your name, Oh Lord, God of Hosts,

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>restore us. Cause your face to shine upon us, and

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>we will be saved. Let's pray. Lord, we thank you

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>for your and we thank you for the privilege of

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>being able to look at this portion of scripture today

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>from these two psalms. And Lord, we're grateful that, just

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>as the Psalmist does in these passages, that when we

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>have heartfelt needs, that we can come before you and

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 1>just lay our hearts bare and ask for you to

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 1>intervene on our behalf, And that likewise we can pray

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to you on behalf of those that we care about,

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>asking for your intervention for those who are suffering and

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:31.119
<v Speaker 1>hurting and in a state where they're feeling like their destitute. Lord,

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.480
<v Speaker 1>like always, we're grateful to be able to notice areas

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>of the scripture that you're using to point our hearts

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>to your son, Jesus Christ. And Lord, we see here

0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>references to the son of Man, and we see a

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>reference to the son whom you have strengthened for yourself.

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 1>And we know Lord that these references ultimately find their

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>fulfillment in your son, Jesus Christ. So we thank you

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Lord that wherever we are in the scriptures, whether we're

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>in the Old Testament or the New Testament, we can

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 1>see that your word points to Jesus, your son. So Lord,

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>thank you for allowing us to see these things. Thank

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you for allowing us to be reminded that salvation is

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 1>found in no other name under heaven other than the

0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>name of Jesus Christ. And we thank you Lord that

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 1>through faith in Jesus we have the privilege to be

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>made into a new creation, and that by your grace

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 1>we have the privilege to be part of your kingdom forever.

0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>So we thank you for all of these things, and

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for your presence with us today. We

0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 1>pray this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
