I'm 4 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: John Stangey, and today we're in Psalms ninety and ninety 5 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: one and we'll be reading from the New American Standard Bible. 6 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: Psalm ninety a prayer of Moses, the Man of God. Lord, 7 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: you have been our dwelling place in all generations, before 8 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: the mountains were born, or you gave birth to the 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting. You 10 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: are God. You turn man back into dust and say return, O. 11 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: Children of men, for a thousand years in your sight 12 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: are like yesterday when it passes by, or as a 13 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: watch in the night, you have swept them away like 14 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: a flood. They fall asleep in the morning. They are 15 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: like grass which sprouts anew. In the morning, it flourishes 16 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,279 Speaker 1: and sprouts anew. Toward the evening it fades and withers away. 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 1: For we have been consumed by your anger and by 18 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: your wrath. We have been dismayed. You have placed our 19 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: iniquities before you, our secret sins, in the light of 20 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: your presence, for all our days have declined in your fury. 21 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: We have finished our years like a sigh. As for 22 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: the days of our life they contain seventy years, or 23 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: if due to strength, eighty years. Yet their pride is 24 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: but labor and sorrow, For soon it is gone, and 25 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: we fly away. Who understands the power of your anger 26 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: and your fury according to the fear that is due you, 27 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: So teach us to number our days, that we may 28 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: present to you a heart of wisdom. Do return, o, Lord, 29 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: how long will it be? And be sorry for your servants. Oh, 30 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness, that 31 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. 32 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: Make us glad according to the days you have afflicted 33 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: us and the years we have seen evil. Let your 34 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: work appear to your servants, and your majesty to their children. 35 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: Let the favor of the Lord, our God be upon us, 36 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: and confirm for us the work of our hands. Yes, 37 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: confirm the work of our hands Psalm ninety one. He 38 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: who dwells in the shelter of the most High will 39 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say 40 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: to the Lord my refuge and my fortress, my God 41 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: in whom I trust, For it is he who delivers 42 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: you from the snare of the trapper and from the 43 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and 44 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: under his wings you may seek refuge. His faithfulness is 45 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: a shield and bulwark. You will not be afraid of 46 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: the terror by night, or of the arrow that flies 47 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: by day, of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, or 48 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: of the destruction that lays waste at noon. A thousand 49 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your 50 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: right hand, but it shall not approach you. You will 51 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: only look on with your eyes and see the recompense 52 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: of the wicked. For you have made the Lord my refuge. 53 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: Even the most high your dwelling place, no evil will 54 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent. 55 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: For He will give his angels charge concerning you, to 56 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: guard you in all your ways. They will bear you 57 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: up in their hands, that you do not strike your 58 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion 59 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: and cobra, the young lion and the serpent. You will 60 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: trample down. Because he has loved me. Therefore I will 61 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: deliver him. I will set him securely on high. Because 62 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: he has known my name. He will call upon me 63 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: and I will answer him. I will be with him 64 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 1: in trouble. I will rescue him and honor him with 65 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: a long life. I will satisfy him and let him 66 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: see my salvation. Let's pray, Lord, we thank you for 67 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: your word, and we thank you for the privilege of 68 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: being able to look at these psalms together today.

We're grateful for 73 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: your protection and your provision. We're grateful Lord that all 74 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: of these things have been secured for us by your son, 75 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. And now through faith in your son, we 76 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: truly live and we are protected by you forever. So Lord, 77 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: we're grateful for these things, and we're grateful for the 78 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: reminders that we see in these portions of scripture today. 79 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: And we commit this day to your care, and thank you, 80 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: Lord for your presence with us in it.
