57
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,719

58
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,680

Speaker 2: thee blessed Art Thou, o lord, teach me thy statutes

61
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: with my lips. I have declared all the judgments of

62
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy

63
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: testimonies as much as in all riches. I will meditate

64
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,080

67
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 2: live and keep thy word open Thou mine eyes, that

00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I

69
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 2: am a stranger in the earth. Hide not thy commandments

70
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it

71
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: hath unto Thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked

72
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 2: the proud that accursed, which do err from thy commandments.

73
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,960

74
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,440

75
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies

76

00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: My soul melteth for heaviness. Strengthen thou me according to

82
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: thy word. Remove from me the way of lying, and

83
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way

84
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: of truth. Thy judgments have I laid before me. I

85
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: have stuck unto thy testimonies. O Lord, put me not

86
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,400

92
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: For therein do I delight incline my heart unto thy testimonies,

93
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 2: and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity,

94
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: and quicken thou me in thy way. Establish thy word

95
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: unto thy servant who is devoted to thy fear, turn

96

Speaker 2: away my reproach which I fear, for thy judgments are good. Behold,

97
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: I have longed after Thy precepts quicken me and thy righteousness.

98
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even

99
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: thee my salvation according to thy word. So shall I

100
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me, For I

101
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: trust in thy word. And take not the word of

102
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: truth utterly out of my mouth. For I have hoped

103
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: in thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually,

104
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: forever and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for

105
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: I seek thy precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies

106
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: also before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I

107
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: will delight myself in thy commandments which I have loved.

108
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: My hands also will lift up unto Thy commandments which

109
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: I have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes.

110
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast

111
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: caused me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction,

112
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: For thy word hath quickened me. The proud have had

113
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: me greatly in derision. Yet have I not declined from

114
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: thy law. I remembered thy judgments. Of old, O Lord,

115
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 2: and have comforted myself. Horror hath taken hold upon me

116
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: because of the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes

117
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 2: have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

118
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night,

119
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: and have kept thy law. This I had because I

120
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: kept thy precepts. Thou art my portion, O Lord, I

121
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 2: have said that I would keep thy words. I entreated

122
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 2: thy favor with my whole heart. Be merciful unto me.

123
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 2: According to thy word, I thought on my ways and

124
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 2: turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste and delayed,

125
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked

126
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: have robbed me, but I have not forgotten thy law.

127
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto THEE.

128
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: Because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of

129
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: all them that fear THEE, and of them that keep

130
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: thy precepts. The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy.

131
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: Teach me thy statutes. Thou hast dwelt well with thy servant,

132
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: O Lord, according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment

133
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: and knowledge. For I have believed thy commandments before I

134
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: was afflicted, I went astray, But now have I kept

135
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: thy word. Thou art good, and doest good. Teach me

136
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: thy statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me,

137
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

138
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: Their heart is as fat as Greece. But I delight

139
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: in thy law. It is good for me that I

140
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 2: have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. The

141
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands

142
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and

143
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: fashioned me. Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments.

144
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: They that fear THEE will be glad when they see me,

145
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: because I have hoped in thy word. I know, O Lord,

146
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: that thy judgments are right, and that thou and faithfulness

147
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: hast afflicted me. Let I pray THEE Thy merciful kindness

148
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: be for my comfort according to thy word. Unto thy servant.

149
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 2: Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live,

150
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 2: for Thy law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed,

151
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: for they dealt perversely with me without a cause. But

152
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 2: I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear

153
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,199
Speaker 2: THEE turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

154
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: Let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I

155
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 2: be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation. But

156
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying,

157
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: when wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like

158
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: a bottle in the smoke. Yet do I not forget

159
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: thy statutes? How many are the days of thy servant?

160
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

161
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: The proud hath digged pits for me, which are not

162
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 2: afar thy law. All thy commandments are faithful. They persecute

163
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: me wrongfully help thou me. They had almost consumed me

164
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: upon earth. But I forstook not only thy precepts quicken

165
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: me after thy loving kindness. So shall I keep the

166
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: testimony of thy mouth forever, O Lord, Thy word is

167
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. Thou

168
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: hast established the earth, and it abideth They continue this

169
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: day according to Thine ordinances. For all are they servants.

170
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 2: Unless Thy law had been my delights, I should then

171
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts,

172
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: for with them thou hast quickened me. I am thine

173
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: save me, For I have sought thy precepts. The wicked

174
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: have waited for me to destroy me. But I will

175
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: consider thy testimtimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection.

176
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: But thy commandment is exceedingly broad. O, how I love

177
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: thy law. It is my meditation all the day. Thou,

178
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies,

179
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: for they are never with me. I have more understanding

180
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 2: than all my teachers. For thy testimonies are my meditation.

181
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: I understand more than the ancients. Because I keep thy precepts.

182
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: I have refrained my feet from every evil way that

183
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: I might keep thy word. I have not departed from

184
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: thy judgments. For thou hast taught me how sweet are

185
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: thy words unto my taste? Yea sweeter than honey to

186
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 2: my mouth. Through thy precepts, I get understanding. Therefore I

187
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto

188
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: my feet and a light unto my path. I have

189
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: sworn and I will perform it, that I will keep

190
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much. Quicken me, O, Lord,

191
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: according to thy word, except I beseech thee the free

192
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: will offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me

193
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand. Yet

194
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid

195
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: a snare for me. Yet I erred not from thy precepts.

196
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, for

197
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined

198
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

199
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: I hate vain thoughts, but thy law do I love.

200
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: Thou art my hiding place and my shield. I hope

201
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 2: in thy word depart from me, ye evil doers, for

202
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me

203
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 2: according to thy word, that I may live, and let

204
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: me not be ashamed of my hope. Thou me up,

205
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: and I shall be safe, and I will have respect

206
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: unto thy statutes. Continually, Thou hast trodden down all them

207
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: that err from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.

208
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross.

209
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: Therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear

210
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments. I

211
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 2: have done judgment and justice. Leave me not to mine oppressors.

212
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 2: Be surely for thy servant for good. Let not the

213
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: proud oppress me. Mine eyes fail for thy salvation and

214
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: for the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant

215
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 2: according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. I

216
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: am thy servant. Give me understanding that I may know

217
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. It is time for thee Lord to work,

218
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: for they have made void thy law. Therefore I love

219
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: thy commandments of above gold, yea above fine gold. Therefore

220
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right,

221
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: and I hate every false way. Thy testimonies are wonderful.

222
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: Therefore doth my soul keep them. The entrance of thy

223
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: words giveth life. The entrance of thy words giveth light.

224
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: It giveth understanding. Unto the simple, I opened my mouth

225
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: and panted, for I longed for thy commandments. Look thou

226
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: upon me, and be merciful unto me as thou usest

227
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: to do, unto those that love thy name. Order my

228
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 2: steps in thy world. And let not any iniquity have

229
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: dominion over me. Deliver me from the oppression of man.

230
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: So will I keep thy precepts. Make thy face to

231
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: shine upon thy servant, and teach me thy statutes. Rivers

232
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: of waters run down mine eyes because they keep not

233
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: thy law. Righteous art thou Lord, and upright are thy judgments.

234
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

235
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: My zeal hath consumed me because mine enemies have forgotten

236
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: thy words. Thy word is very pure. Therefore thy servant

237
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: loveth it. I am small and despised, Yet do I

238
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: not forget thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

239
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have

240
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: taken hold on me, Yet thy commandments are my delights.

241
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting. Give me understanding,

242
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 2: and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart.

243
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Hear me, O Lord, I will keep thy statutes. I

244
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: cried unto thee save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

245
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: I prevented the drowning of the morning, and cried. I

246
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: hoped in thy word mine eyes prevent the night watches,

247
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: that I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice,

248
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 2: according to hear my voice, according unto thy loving kindness,

249
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: O Lord, Quicken me according to thy judgment. They draw

250
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: nigh that follow after mischief. They are far from thy law.

251
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 2: Thou art near, o Lord, and all thy commandments are truth.

252
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou

253
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 2: hast founded them. For ever, consider mine affliction and deliver me.

254
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 2: For I do not forget thy law. Plead my cause

255
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: and deliver me. Quicken me according to thy word. Salvation

256
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: is far from wicked. For they seek not thy statutes.

257
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord, Quicken me according

258
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: to thy judgments. Many are my persecutors and mine enemies.

259
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 2: Yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. I beheld

260
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 2: the transgressors and was grieved because they kept not thy word.

261
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: Con dinsider, how I love thy precepts. Quicken me, O Lord,

262
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 2: according to thy loving kindness. Thy word is true from

263
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: the beginning, and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth forever.

264
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 2: Princes have persecuted me without a cause. But my heart

265
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: standeth in awe of thy word. I rejoice at thy

266
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: word as one that findeth great spoil. I hate an

267
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: abhor lying, but thy law do I love. Seven times

268
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: a day do I praise THEE because of thy righteous judgments.

269
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 2: Great peace have they which love thy law, and nothing

270
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: shall offend them. Lord, I have hoped for thy salvation

271
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: and done thy commandments. My soul hath kept thy testimonies,

272
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: and I loved them exceedingly. I have kept thy precepts

273
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 2: and thy testimonies. For all my ways are before THEE.

274
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 2: Let my cry come near before THEE. O Lord, give

275
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come

276
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: for THEE deliver me. According to thy word. My lips

277
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: shall utter praise. When thou hast taught me thy statutes.

278
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: My tongue shall speak of thy word. For all thy

279
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: commandments are righteousness. Let Thine hand help me, for I

280
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: have chosen thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation,

281
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 2: O Lord, and thy law is my delight. Let my

282
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 2: soul live and it shall praise THEE. And let thy

283
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: judgments help me. I have gone astray like a lost sheep.

284
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: Seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.

285
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 2: God's laws are old treasures that make our hearts new.

286
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 2: So to night, put your trust in the Lord and

287
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: commit to following his ways. Allow his righteousness to purify

288
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: you and renew you. Allow his salvation to fill your

289
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: mind with his hope and warm your heart with his joy.

290
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: Breathe in and out slowly. Take delight in the word

291
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 2: of the Lord. Thirst for his truth. Meditate on his

292
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: commandments in the morning when you wake up, and in

293
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: the evening when you lay down to sleep. Know you

294
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: will make your paths straight. His word will guide you

295
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: with the light of the Lord, leading you step by

Speaker 2: God to refresh you with his provision and sustain you

300
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 2: with his protection. Remember man does not live on bread alone,

301
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: but on every word that comes out of the mouth

302
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: of the Lord. Know his word will satisfy your appetite

303
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: and quench your thirst. Consider your ways and reflect on

304
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: the path you are following in your life right now.

305
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: Think about how your ways do or do not align

306
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: with the ways of the Lord. Confess the ways that

307
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 2: do not honor his word. Repent and ask God for

308
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: his forgiveness. Ask him for his help in committing your

309
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 2: ways to his Take a deep breath, allow God's word

310
