0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm John Stangey, and today we're in Psalms seventy and

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy one, and we'll be reading from the New American

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Standard Bible. For the choir director a Psalm of David

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>for a memorial. Oh God, hasten to deliver me. Oh God,

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:40.559
<v Speaker 1>hasten to my help. Let those be ashamed and humiliated

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 1>who seek my life. Let those be turned back and

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>dishonored who delight in my hurt. Let those be turned

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 1>back because of their shame, who say aha aha. Let

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.400
<v Speaker 1>all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you,

0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and let those who love your salvations say continually. Let

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>God be magnified. But I am afflicted and needy. Hasten

0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to me. Oh God, you are my help and my deliverer.

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>O Lord, do not delay Psalm seventy one. In you,

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh Lord, I have taken refuge. Let me never be

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>ashamed in your righteousness. Deliver me and rescue me. Incline

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 1>your ear to me and save me. Be to me

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a rock of habitation, to which I may continually come.

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:43.240
<v Speaker 1>You have given commandment to save me, for you are

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, Oh my God,

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>out of the hand of the wicked, out of the

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man. For you are

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>my hope, O, Lord God, you are my confidence from

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>my youth. By you, I have been sustained from my birth.

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>You are he who took me from my mother's wound.

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>My praise is continually of you. I have become a

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>marvel to many, for you are my strong refuge. My

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>mouth is filled with your praise and with your glory

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>all day long. Do not cast me off in the

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>time of old age. Do not forsake me when my

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>strength fails. For my enemies have spoken against me, and

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.560
<v Speaker 1>those who watch for my life have consulted together saying

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>God has forsaken him. Pursue and seize him, for there

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>is no one to deliver. Oh God, do not be

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>far from me, O my God, hasten to my help.

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Let those who are adversaries of my soul be ashamed

0:02:55.840 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>and consumed. Let them be covered with reproach and dis honor.

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Who seek to injure me. But as for me, I

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>will hope continually and will praise you yet more and more.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>My mouth shall tell of your righteousness and of your

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.440
<v Speaker 1>salvation all day long, for I do not know the

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>sum of them. I will come with the mighty deeds

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Lord God. I will make mention of your

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:29.399
<v Speaker 1>righteousness yours alone. Oh God, You have taught me from

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 1>my youth, and I still declare your wondrous deeds. And

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>even when I am old and gray, Oh God, do

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:41.680
<v Speaker 1>not forsake me until I declare your strength to this generation,

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 1>your power to all who are to come. For your righteousness,

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>great things, Oh God, who is like you, You who

0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:01.000
<v Speaker 1>have shown me many troubles and distresses, will me again

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>and will bring me up again from the depths of

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>the earth. May you increase my greatness and turn to

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>comfort me. I will also praise you with a harp,

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>even your truth, Oh My God, to you, I will

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>sing praises with the leer, Oh Holy One of Israel.

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 1>to you and my soul, which you have redeemed My

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:33.479
<v Speaker 1>tongue also will utter your righteousness all day long, for

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 1>they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's pray, Lord, we thank you for your word, and

0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.039
<v Speaker 1>we thank you for the privilege to be able to

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>look at these psalms together today. And we thank you,

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Lord that as we look at these things, we're reminded

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.719
<v Speaker 1>of the fact that your love for us is steady,

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 1>and you are present with us in every season of life,

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>when we're young, when we're old, and all the years

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>in between. Lord, we're grateful for the fact that you

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>teach us what it means to follow you. And during

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.920
<v Speaker 1>this particular season of our lives, Lord, we pray that

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>we would be completely in tune with your will. Lord.

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>We know that it's your desire that we bring glory

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to the name of your son Jesus Christ, who has

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>rescued and redeemed us in the shedding of his blood

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and in his resurrection from the grave. And we pray

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Lord that these would be truths that we would apply

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to our lives and live out and display in every

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>context that you place us in, that we have been rescued,

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>that we have been redeemed, that we have been adopted

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.159
<v Speaker 1>into your family through faith in your son Jesus Christ.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 1>And we're grateful, Lord for the reminders of these things

0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that we see in your word, particularly as we look

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>at these psalms that speak of your deliverance and speak

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of your faithfulness to your children in every season of life.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>So we thank you Lord for all of these things.

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 1>We thank you for your presence with us today, and

0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.159
<v Speaker 1>we commit ourselves to your care and pray this all

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>in Jesus' name. Amen.
