46
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: in the way who walk with the law of the Lord.

47
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,679
Speaker 2: Blessed are those that keep his testimonies, and that seek

48
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: Him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity.

49
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: They walk in His ways. Thou hast commanded us to

50
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: keep thy precept diligently, Oh that my ways were directed

51
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: to keep thy statutes. Then shall I not be ashamed.

52
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 2: When I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will

53
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: praise THEE with uprightness of heart. When I shall have

54
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: learned thy righteous judgments, I will keep thy statutes. O

55
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: forsake me not utterly, wherewithal shall a young man cleanse

56
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,679
Speaker 2: his way by taking heed THERETO according to Thy word,

57
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 2: with my whole heart have I sought thee O. Let

58
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: me not wander from thy commandments. Thy woe have I

59
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: hid in mine heart that I might not sin against

60
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: thee blessed art Thou, o Lord, teach me thy statutes

61
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: with my lips. I have declared all the judgments of

62
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 2: thy mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of thy

63
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: testimonies as much as in all riches. I will meditate

64
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: in thy precepts and have respect unto thy ways. I

65
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: will delight myself in thy statutes. I will not forget

66
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant that I may

67
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: live and keep thy word open Thou mine eyes, that

68
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I

69
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: am a stranger in the earth. Hide not thy commandments

70
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: from me. My soul breaketh for the longing that it

71
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: hath unto Thy judgments at all times. Thou hast rebuked

72
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: the proud that accursed, which do err from thy commandments.

73
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: Remove me from reproach and contempt, for I have kept

74
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. Princes also did sit and speak against me,

75
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Thy testimonies

76
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 2: also are my delight, and my counselors, my soul, cleaveth

77
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: unto the dust. Quicken thou me according to thy word.

78
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: I have declared my ways, and thou hurdest me. Teach

79
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: me thy statutes. Make me to understand the way of

80
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: thy precepts. So shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

81
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: My soul melteth for heaviness. Strengthen thou me according to

82
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: thy word. Remove from me the way of lying, and

83
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: grant me thy law graciously. I have chosen the way

84
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 2: of truth. Thy judgments have I laid before me. I

85
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: have stuck unto thy testimonies. O Lord, put me not

86
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: to shame. I will run the way of thy commandments

87
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: when thou shalt enlarge my heart. Teach me, O Lord,

88
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it

89
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep

90
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: thy law. Yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

91
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: Make me to go in the path of thy commandments,

92
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: For therein do I delight. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,

93
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: and not to covetousness. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity,

94
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: and quicken thou me in thy way. Establish thy word

95
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 2: unto thy servant who is devoted to thy fear, turn

96
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: away my reproach which I fear, for thy judgments are good. Behold,

97
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: I have longed after Thy precepts quicken me and thy righteousness.

98
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, even

99
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 2: thy salvation according to thy word. So shall I have

100
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 2: wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me. For I trust

101
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: in thy word, And take not the word of truth

102
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: utterly out of my mouth. For I have hoped in

103
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: thy judgments. So shall I keep thy law continually, forever

104
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: and ever. And I will walk at liberty, for I

105
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: seek thy precepts. I will speak of thy testimonies also

106
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: before kings, and will not be ashamed. And I will

107
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved. My

108
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: hands also will lift up unto Thy commandments which I

109
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 2: have loved, and I will meditate in thy statutes. Remember

110
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused

111
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 2: me to hope. This is my comfort in my affliction,

112
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: For thy word hath quickened me. The proud have had

113
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: me greatly in derision. Yet have I not declined from

114
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: thy law. I remembered thy judgments of old O Lord,

115
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: and have comforted myself. Horror hath taken hold upon me

116
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: because of the wicked that forsake thy law. Thy statutes

117
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,599
Speaker 2: have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

118
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: I have remembered thy name, O Lord, in the night,

119
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: and have kept thy law. This I had because I

120
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: kept thy precepts. Thou art my portion, O Lord, I

121
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: have said that I would keep thy words. I entreated

122
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: thy favor with my whole heart. Be merciful unto me

123
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: according to thy word, I thought on my ways and

124
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste and delayed,

125
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: not to keep thy commandments. The bands of the wicked

126
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: have robbed me, but I have not forgotten thy law.

127
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto THEE.

128
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: Because of thy righteous judgments. I am a companion of

129
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: all them that fear THEE, and of them that keep

130
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: thy precepts. The earth, O Lord is full thy mercy.

131
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: Teach me thy statutes. Thou hast dwelt well with thy servant,

132
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 2: O Lord, according unto thy word. Teach me good judgment

133
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: and knowledge. For I have believed thy commandments. Before I

134
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 2: was afflicted. I went astray. But now have I kept

135
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: thy word. Thou art good, and doest good. Teach me

136
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: thy statutes. The proud have forged a lie against me,

137
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 2: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

138
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: Their heart is as fat as Greece. But I delight

139
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: in thy law. It is good for me that I

140
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. The

141
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands

142
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: of gold and silver. Thy hands have made me and

143
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: fashioned me. Give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments.

144
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: They that fear THEE will be glad when they see me,

145
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 2: because I have hoped in thy word. I know, o Lord,

146
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: that thy judgments are right, and that Thou, in faithfulness

147
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: hast afflicted me. Let I pray THEE Thy merciful kindness

148
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: be for my comfort according to thy word, unto thy servant.

149
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 2: Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live,

150
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 2: for Thy law is my delight. Let the proud be ashamed,

151
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: for they dealt perversely with me without a cause. But

152
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: I will meditate in thy precepts. Let those that fear

153
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: THEE turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

154
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: Let my heart be sound in thy statutes, that I

155
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: be not ashamed. My soul fainteth for thy salvation. But

156
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: I hope in thy word. Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying,

157
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: when wilt thou comfort me? For I am become like

158
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: a bottle in the smoke. Yet do I not forget

159
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: thy statutes? How many are the days of thy servant?

160
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

161
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 2: The proud hath digged pits for me, which are not

162
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: afar thy law. All thy commandments are faithful. They persecute

163
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: me wrongfully help thou me. They had almost consumed me

164
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: upon earth. But I forstook not only thy precepts quicken

165
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: me after thy loving kindness. So shall I keep the

166
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 2: testimony of thy mouth forever, O Lord, Thy word is

167
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. Thou

168
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: hast established the earth, and it abideth they continue this

169
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: day according to Thine ordinances, for all are thy servants.

170
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then

171
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: have perished in mine affliction. I will never forget thy precepts,

172
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 2: For with them thou hast quickened me. I am Thine

173
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: save me, For I have sought thy precepts. The wicked

174
00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: have waited for me to destroy me. But I consider

175
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. I have seen an end of all perfection.

176
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: But thy commandment is exceedingly broad. O, how I love

177
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: thy law. It is my meditation all the day. Thou,

178
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: through thy commandments, hast made me wiser than mine enemies,

179
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: for they are never with me. I have more understanding

180
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: than all my teachers. For thy testimonies are my meditation.

181
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 2: I understand more than the ancients. Because I keep thy precepts.

182
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: I have refrained my feet from every evil way that

183
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: I might keep thy word. I have not departed from

184
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: thy judgments. For thou hast taught me. How sweet are

185
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: thy words unto my taste? Yea sweeter than honey to

186
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: my mouth. Through thy precepts, I get understanding. Therefore I

187
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto

188
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: my feet, and a light unto my path. I have

189
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: sworn and I will perform it, that I will keep

190
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: thy righteous judgments. I am afflicted very much. Quicken me, O, Lord,

191
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 2: according to thy word, except I beseech thee the free

192
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 2: will offerings of my mouth. O, Lord, and teach me

193
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 2: thy judgments. My soul is continually in my hand. Yet

194
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: do I not forget thy law. The wicked have laid

195
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 2: a snare for me. Yet I erred not from thy precepts.

196
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: Thy testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, For

197
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: they are the rejoicing of my heart. I have inclined

198
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

199
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: I hate vain thoughts, but thy law do I love.

200
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: Thou art my hiding place and my shield. I hope

201
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: in thy word depart from me, ye evil doers, for

202
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: I will keep the commandments of my God. Uphold me

203
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: according to thy word, that I may live, and let

204
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 2: me not be ashamed of my hope. Hold thou me up,

205
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: and I shall be safe, and I will have respect

206
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: unto thy statutes. Continually, Thou hast trodden down all them

207
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: that err from thy statutes, for their deceit is falsehood.

208
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross.

209
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: Therefore I love thy testimonies. My flesh trembleth for fear

210
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: of thee, and I am afraid of thy judgments. I

211
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: have done judgment and justice leave me not to mine oppressors.

212
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: Be surely for thy servant for good. Let not the

213
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: proud oppress me Mine eyes fail for thy salvation and

214
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: for the word of thy righteousness. Deal with thy servant

215
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. I

216
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: am thy servant. Give me understanding that I may know

217
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: thy testimonies. It is time for thee Lord to work,

218
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: for they have made void thy law. Therefore I thy

219
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: commandments above gold, yea above fine gold. Therefore I esteem

220
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: all thy precepts concerning all things to be right, and

221
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: I hate every false way. Thy testimonies are wonderful. Therefore

222
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: doth my soul keep them. The entrance of thy words

223
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: giveth life. The entrance of thy words giveth light. It

224
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: giveth understanding. Unto the simple, I opened my mouth and panted,

225
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: for I longed for thy commandments. Look thou upon me,

226
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: and be merciful unto me as thou usest to do

227
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: unto those that love thy name. Order my steps in

228
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: thy world, and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

229
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Deliver me from the oppression of man. So will I

230
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 2: keep thy precepts, make thy face to shine upon thy

231
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: servant and teach me thy statutes. Rivers of waters run

232
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: down mine eyes because they keep not thy law. Righteous

233
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: art thou, o Lord, and upright are thy judgments. Thy

234
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

235
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: My zeal hath consumed me because mine enemies have forgotten

236
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: thy words. Thy word is very pure. Therefore thy servant

237
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: loveth it. I am small and despised, Yet do I

238
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: not forget thy precepts. Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness,

239
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have

240
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: taken hold on me, Yet thy commandments are my delights.

241
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 2: The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting. Give me understanding,

242
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 2: and I shall live. I cried with my whole heart.

243
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 2: Hear me, O Lord, I will keep thy statutes. I

244
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 2: cried unto thee save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

245
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 2: I prevented the drowning of the morning, and cried. I

246
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 2: hoped in thy word mine eyes prevent the night water,

247
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: that I might meditate in thy word. Hear my voice.

248
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 2: According unto thy loving kindness, O Lord, quicken me. According

249
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: to thy judgment. They draw nigh that follow after mischief.

250
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 2: They are far from thy law. Thou art near, o Lord,

251
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: and all thy commandments are truth. Concerning thy testimonies, I

252
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: have known of old that thou hast founded them. Forever,

253
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: consider mine affliction and deliver me. For I do not

254
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: forget thy law. Plead my cause and deliver me. Quicken

255
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: me according to thy word. Salvation is far from wicked,

256
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: for they seek not thy statutes. Great are thy tender mercies,

257
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: O Lord, Quicken me according to thy judgments. Many are

258
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 2: my persecutors and mine enemies. Yet do I not decline

259
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 2: from thy testimonies. I beheld the transgressors and was grieved

260
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: because they kept not thy word. Consider how I love

261
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: thy precepts. Quicken me, O Lord, according to thy loving kindness.

262
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 2: Thy word is true from the beginning, and every one

263
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 2: of thy righteous judgments endureth forever. Princes have persecuted me

264
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 2: without a cause, But my heart standeth in awe of

265
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 2: thy word. I rejoice at thy word as one that

266
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: findeth great spoil. I hate an abhor lying, but thy

267
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: law do I love. Seven times a day do I

268
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 2: praise thee because of thy righteous judgments. Great peace have

269
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: they which love Thy law? And nothing shall offend them. Lord,

270
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: I have hoped for thy salvation and done thy commandments.

271
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: My soul hath kept thy testimonies, and I loved them exceedingly.

272
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 2: I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies. For all

273
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: my ways are before THEE. Let my cry come near

274
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 2: before THEE. O Lord, give me understanding according to thy word.

275
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: Let my supplication come before THEE. Deliver me according to

276
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: thy word. My lips shall utter praise. When thou hast

277
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: taught me thy statutes. My tongue shall speak of thy word.

278
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 2: For all thy commandments are righteousness. Let Thine hand help me,

279
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: for I have chosen thy precepts. I have longed for

280
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 2: thy salvation, O Lord, and thy law is my delight.

281
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 2: Let my soul live and it shall praise THEE. And

282
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 2: let thy judgments help me. I have gone astray like

283
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: a lost sheep. Seek thy servant, for I do not

284
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: forget thy commandments. God's laws are old treasures that make

285
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 2: our hearts new. So tonight, put your trust in the

286
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: Lord and commit to following his ways. Allow his righteousness

287
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: to purify you and renew you. Allow his salvation to

288
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: fill your mind with his hope and warm your heart

289
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: with his joy. Breathe in and out slowly. Take delight

290
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: in the word of the Lord. Thirst for his truth.

291
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: Meditate on his commandments in the morning when you wake up,

292
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: and in the evening when you lay down to sleep.

293
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 2: Know you will make your paths straight. His word will

294
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 2: guide you with the light of the Lord, leading you

295
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: step by step down a safe, secure path where you

00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: sustain you with his protection. Remember man does not live

300
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: on bread alone, but on every word that comes out

301
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: of the mouth of the Lord. Know his word will

302

Speaker 2: satisfy your appetite and quench your thirst. Consider your ways

303
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: and reflect on the path you are following in your

304

Speaker 2: life right now. Think about how your ways do or

305
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: do not align with the ways of the Lord. Confess

306
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 2: the ways that do not honor his word. Repent and

307
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: ask God for his forgiveness. Ask him for his help

308
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: in committing your ways to his Take a deep breath,

309
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 2: allow God's word to fill you with his grace and love.

310
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,480
