Psalm 67 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 3: one hundred and three from the King James version says, 68 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is 69 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: within me. Bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O 70 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Who forgiveth 71 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: all thine iniquities, who healeth all thy diseases, Who redeemeth 72 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 3: thy life from destruction, Who crowneth thee with loving kindness 73 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: and tender mercies, Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, 74 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 3: so that thy youth is renewed like the eagles. The 75 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed. 76 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: He made known his way unto Moses, his axe, unto 77 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, 78 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: slow to anger and plenteous in mercy, he will not 79 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: always chide, neither will he keep his anger forever. He 80 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded 81 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: us according to our iniquities. For as the Heathen is 82 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward 83 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: them that fear him. As far as the east is 84 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 3: from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions 85 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so 86 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knowest 87 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: our frame. He remembereth that we are dust as for man. 88 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: His days are as grand as a flower of the field. 89 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: So he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and 90 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it 91 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from 92 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: everlasting to everlasting, upon them that fear him and his righteousness, 93 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: unto children's children, to such as keep his covenant, and 94 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: to those that remember his commandments to do them. The 95 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens and his 96 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 3: kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the Lord, Ye his angels 97 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: excel in strength that to his commandments hearkening unto the 98 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: voice of this world. Bless ye the Lord, all ye 99 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: his hosts, ye ministers of his that do his pleasure. 100 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: Bless the Lord all his works in all places of 101 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 3: his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul. As our creator, 102 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 3: the Lord knows our weaknesses. As our redeemer and healer, 103 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: the Lord can save us and heal us in our 104 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: weakest moments. To night, praise the Lord for all that 105 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 3: he has done for you, and praise him for all 106 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 3: that he will do for you as his beloved child. 107 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: Breathe in and out slowly, revel in the glory of 108 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 3: the Lord. Lift your spirit to praise him. Allow his 109 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 3: glory and praise to soothe your soul. To night, close 110 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: your eyes and imagine the height and depth of God's 111 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: love for you. Know his love for you reaches as 112 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,679 Speaker 3: high as the heavens and as low as the depths 113 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 3: of the pit of destruction and despair. Take comfort in 114 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 3: his everlasting love that blesses you and satisfies you in 115 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: this life and in eternity.

He has thrown your iniquities 122 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: into the sea of his forgetfulness. Allow his mercy and 123 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 3: grace to wash over you and cleanse your sin and shame. 124 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 3: Breathe in and out slowly, release your guilt to the Lord, 125 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 3: and allow his forgiveness to renew your spirit.
