Because they rebelled against the words of God 74 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: and condemned the counsel of the most High. Therefore he 75 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and 76 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 3: there was none unto help. Then they cried unto the 77 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of 78 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: their distresses.

Insunder fools. Because of their transgression, and 84 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all 85 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: manner of meat, and they draw near unto the gates 86 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: of death. Then they cry unto the Lord and their trouble, 87 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: And He saveth them out of their distresses. He sent 88 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 3: his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 89 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 3: Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness 90 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: and for his wonderful works to the children of men, 91 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 3: And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare 92 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 3: his works with rejoicing. They that go down to the 93 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: sea in ships that do business in great waters, these 94 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 3: see the works of the Lord and his wonders in 95 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: the deep. For he commandeth and raiseth the stormy winds, 96 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: which lifteth up the waves. Thereof they mount up to 97 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: the heaven. They go down again to the depths. Their 98 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: soul is melted because of trouble.

Then they cry unto the Lord in 101 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 3: their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 102 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 3: He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves 103 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet? 104 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 3: So he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh, that 105 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: man would praise the Lord for his goodness and for 106 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: his wonderful works to the children of men.
