  Speaker 1: The Book of Psalms Book one Psalm one. Blessed is
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the one who does not walk in step with a wicked,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: or stand in the way that sinners take, or sit
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: law day and night. That person is like a tree
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever they do prospers.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Not so the wicked. They are like chaff that the
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: wind blows away. Therefore, the wicked will not stand in
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm too.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Why do the nations conspire and the people's plot in vain?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: The kings of the earth rise up, and the rulers
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: The one enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord scoffs at them.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: his wrath, saying, I have installed my King on Zion
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: my holy mountain. I will proclaim the Lord's decree. He
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: said to me, you are my son. To day I
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: have become your father. Ask me, and I will make
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You will break them with a rod of iron. You
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: will dash them to pieces like pottery. Therefore, you kings,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: be wise, be warned, You rulers of the earth. Serve
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: refuge in him. Psalm three, Lord, how many are my foes?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: How many rise up against me? Many are saying of me.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: God will not deliver him. But you, Lord, are a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: shield around me, my glory, the one who lifts my
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: head high. I call out to the Lord, and he
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I wake again because the Lord sustains me. I will
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: not fear, though tens of thousands assail me on every side. Arise, Lord,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: deliver me, my God, strike all my enemies on the jaw,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: May your blessing be on your people. Psalm for Answer
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: me when I call to you, my Righteous God, give
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: me relief from my distress. Have mercy on me and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: hear my prayer. How long will you people turn me
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and seek false gods? Know that the Lord has set
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: apart his faithful servant for himself. The Lord hears when
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I call to him. Tremble and do not sin. When
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you are on your beds, search your hearts and be silent.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in the Lord.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Many Lord are asking who will bring us prosperity. Let
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the light of your face shine on us. Fill my
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: heart with joy. When their grain and new wine abound
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in peace, I will lie down and sleep for you,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a lone Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm five.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Listen to my world's Lord, consider my lament. Hear my
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: cry for help, my king and my God. For to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you I pray in the morning, Lord, you hear my voice.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: In the morning. I lay my requests before you and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: wait expectantly, for you are not a god who is
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: pleased with wickedness. With you, evil people are not welcome.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies. The
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: bloodthirsty and deceitful, you Lord detest, But I, by your
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: great love, can come into your house in reverence. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: bow down toward your holy temple. Lead me, Lord in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: your righteousness. Because of my enemies, Make your way straight
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: before me. Not a word from their mouth can be trusted.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: open grave. With their tongues they tell lies. Declare them guilty,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: O God, Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: But let all who take refuge in you be glad.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, Lord,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you bless the righteous. You surround them with your favor
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: as with a shield Psalm six. Lord, do not rebuke
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: me in your anger, or discipline me in your wrath.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint yeal
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: me Lord, for my bones are in agony, my soul
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, How long turn
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Lord and deliver me? Save me? Because of your unfailing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: love among the dead, no one proclaims your name, who
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: praises you from the grave. I am worn out from
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: my groaning. All night long, I flood my bed with
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: weeping and drench my couch with tears. My eyes grow
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: weak with sorrow. They fail because of all my foes.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Away from me, all you who do evil. For the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: cry for mercy. The Lord accepts my prayer. All my
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish. They will
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: turn back and suddenly be put to shame. Psalm seven, Lord,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: my God, I take refuge in you, Save and deliver
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: me from all who pursue me, or they will tear
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: with no one to rescue me. Lord my God, if
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I have done this and there is guilt on my hands,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: if I have repaid my ally with evil, or without cause,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: have robbed my foe, then let my enemy pursue and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: overtake me. Let him trample my life to the ground,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and make me sleep in the dust. Arise, Lord, in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: your anger, Rise up against the rage of my enemies.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Awake my God, decree justice. Let the assembled peoples gather
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Let the Lord judge the peoples. Vindicate me. Lord, according
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O, most High,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: bring to an end the violence of the wicked, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: make the righteous secure you. The righteous God, who probes
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: minds and hearts My shield is God most High, who
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: saves the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a God who displays his wrath every day. If he
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: does not relent, he will sharpen his sword. He will
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: bend and string his bow. He has prepared his deadly weapons.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He makes ready his flaming arrows. Whoever is pregnant with
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment. Whoever digs
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: They have made. The trouble they calls recoils on them.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Their violence comes down on their own heads. I will
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness. I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: will sing the praises of the name of the Lord
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Most High. Psalm eight. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: your name in all the earth. You have set your
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: You have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you have set in place, What is mankind that you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: are mindful of them, human beings, that you care for them.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: You have made them a little lower than the angels,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: rulers over the works of your hands. You put everything
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: under their feet, all flocks and herds, and the animals
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: fish and the sea, all that swim the paths of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the seas. Lord our Lord, how majestic is your name
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: in all the earth. Psalm nine. I will give thanks
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to you Lord with all my heart. I will tell
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: rejoice in you. I will seeing the praises of your name, O,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Most High, My enemies turned back. They stumble and perish
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: before you, for you have upheld my right and my cause.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Sitting enthroned as the righteous judge, you have rebuked the
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: nations and destroyed the wicked. You have blotted out their name.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Forever and ever, endless ruin has overtaken my enemies. You
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: have uprooted their cities, even the memory of them has perished.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: The Lord reigns forever. He has established his throne for judgment.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: He rules the world in righteousness and judges the people
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: name trust in you, For you, Lord, have never forsaken
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: those who skiu sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: in Zion, proclaim among the nations what he has done.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: For he who avenges blood, Remember, he does not ignore
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: the cries of the afflicted. Lord, see how my enemies
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: persecute me, Have mercy and lift me up from the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: gates of death, that I may declare your praises in
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the gates of daughter Zion, and there rejoice in your salvation.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: The nations have fallen into the pit, they have dug
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: The Lord is known by his acts of justice. The
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands. The
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: wicked go down to the realm of the dead. All
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the nations that forget God. But God will never forget
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the needy. The hope of the afflicted will never perish. Arise, Lord,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: do not let mortals triumph. Let the nations be judged
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in your presence. Strike them with terror. Lord, let the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: nations know they are only mortal Psalm ten. Why Lord,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: in times of trouble? In his arrogance, the wicked man
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: he devises. He boasts about the cravings of his heart.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: He blesses the greedy, and reviles the Lord. In his pride,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the wicked man does not seek him In all his thoughts.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: There is no room for God. His ways are always prosperous.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Your laws are rejected by him. Ears at all his enemies,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he says to himself, nothing will ever shake me. He
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: swears no one will ever do me harm. His mouth
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: is full of lies and threads. Trouble and evil are
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: under his tongue. He lies in weight near the villages
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: from ambush. He murders the innocent. His eyes watch in
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: secret for his victims, Like a lion in cover. He
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: He catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: His victims are crushed, They collapse, they fall under his strength.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: He says to himself, God will never notice. He covers
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: his face and never sees arise. Lord, lift up your hand,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: o God, do not forget the helpless. Why does the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: He won't call me to account. But you, God, see
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the troubles of the afflicted. You consider their grief and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: You are the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of the wicked man. Call the evil doer to account
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: for his wickedness that would not otherwise be found out.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: The Lord is king for ever and ever the nations
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: will perish from his land. You, Lord, hear the desire
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of the afflicted. You encourage them, and you listen to
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so that
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror Salm eleven.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: In the Lord, I take refuge. How then can you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: say to me, flee like a bird to your mountain.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: For look, the wicked bend their bows. They set their
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: arrows against the strings, to shoot from the shadows at
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the upright in heart. When the foundations are being destroyed?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: What can the righteous do? The Lord is in his
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: holy temple. The Lord is on his heavenly throne. He
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: observes every one on earth. His eyes examine them. The
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: violence he hates with a passion. On the wicked. He
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur. A scorching wind
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: will be their lot. For the Lord is righteous, he
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: loves justice. The upright will see his face Psalm twelve.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Help Lord, for no one is faithful any more. Those
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: who are loyal have vanished from the human race. Every
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: one lies to their neighbor. They flatter with their lips,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: but harbor deception in their hearts. May the Lord silence
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: all flattering lips and every boastful tongue. Those who say,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: by our tongues we will prevail our own lips will
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: defend us, who is Lord over us, because the poor
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: are plundered and the needy grown. I will now arise,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: says the Lord. I will protect them from those who
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: malign them. And the words of the Lord are flawless,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. You,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Lord will keep the needy safe, and will protect us
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: for ever from the wicked, who freely strut about. When
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: what is vile is honored by the human race. Psalm thirteen.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: How long, Lord, will you forget me for ever? How
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: long will you hide your face from me? How long
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: triumph over me? Look on me and answer, Lord, my God,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and my enemy will say I have overcome him, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in your unfailing love. My heart rejoices in your salvation.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I will sing the Lord's praise, for he has been
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: good to me. Psalm fort. The fool says in his
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: heart there is no God. They are corrupt, their deeds
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: are vile. There is no one who does good. The
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Lord looks down from heaven on all mankind to see
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: if there are any who understand, any who seek God.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: All have turned away, all have become corrupt. There is
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: no one who does good, not even one to all.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: These evildoers know nothing. They devour my people as though
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: eating bread. They never call on the Lord. But there
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: they are overwhelmed with dread. For God is present in
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the company of the righteous. You evildoers frustrate the plans
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: of the poor, But the Lord is their refuse. Oh,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion. When
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the Lord restores his people. Let Jacob rejoice and Israel
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: be glad Psalm fifteen. Lord, who may dwell in your
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: sacred tent, who may live on your holy mountain, The
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: one whose way of life is blameless, who does what
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart, whose
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: tongue utters no slander, who does no wrong to a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: neighbor and casts no slur on others, who despises a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: vile person, but honors those who fear the Lord, Who
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: change their mind, who lends money to the poor without interest,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: does these things will never be shaken. Psalm sixteen. Keep
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I say to the Lord, you are my Lord. Apart
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: from you, I have no good thing. I say of
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the holy people who are in the land. They are
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the noble ones, in whom is all my delight. Those
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: or take up their names on my lips. Lord, you
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: alone are my portion and my cup. You make my
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: lot secure. The boundary lions have fallen for me in
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: pleasant places. Surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: praise the Lord who come even at night. My heart
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: with him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: me to the realm of the dead, nor will you
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: let your faithful one see decay. You make known to
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: me the path of life. You will fill me with
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Psalm seventeen. Hear me, Lord, my plea is just Listen
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: to my cry, hear my prayer. It does not rise
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: from deceitful lips. Let my vindication come from you. May
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: your eyes see what is right. Though you probe my heart,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Though you examine me at night and test me, you
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: will find that I have planned no evil. My mouth
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: has not transgressed. Though people tried to bribe me, I
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: have kept myself from the ways of the violent. Through
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: what your lips have commanded. My steps have held to
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: your paths. My feet have not stumbled. I call on you,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: my God, for you will answer me. Turn your ear
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to me and hear my prayer. Show me the wonders
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of your great love, You who save by your right hand,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: those who take refuge in you from their foes. Keep
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: me as the apple of your eye. Hide me in
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the shadow of your wings from the wicked who are
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: out to destroy me. From my mortal enemies who surround me.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: They close up their callous heart wads, and their mouths
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: speak with arrogance. They have tracked me down. They now
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: surround me with eyes alert to throw me to the ground.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: They are like a lion hungry from prey, like a
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: fierce lion crouching in cover. Rise up, Lord, confront them,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Bring them down with your sword. Rescue me from the
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: wicked by your hand. Save me from such people, Lord,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: from those of this world whose reward is in this life.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: May what you have stored up for the wicked fill
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: their bellies, May their children gorge themselves on it, and
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: may there be left overs for their little ones. As
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: for me, I will be vindicated and will see your
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: face when I awake. I will be satisfied with seeing
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: your likeness Psalm eighteen. I love you, Lord my strength.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: My God is my rock in whom I take refuge,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and I have been saved from my enemies. The cords
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: of death entangled me, The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: The cords of the grave coiled around me. The snares
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: of death confronted me. In my distress. I called to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I cried to my God for help, from
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: his temple. He heard my voice. My cry came before
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: him into his ears. The earth trembled and quake, and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the foundations of the mountains shook. They trembled because he
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: was angry. Smoke rose from his nostrils. Consuming fire came
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: from his mouth. Burning coals blazed out of it. He
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: parted the heavens and came down. Dark clouds were under
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: his feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew. He soared
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: on the wings of the wind. He made darknesses covering
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: his canopy. Around him, the dark rain clouds of the sky.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Out of the brightness of his presence. Clouds advanced with
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: hailstones and bolts of lightning. The Lord thundered from heaven.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: The voice of the most High resounded. He shot his
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: arrows and scattered the enemy with great bolts of lightning.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: He routed them. The valleys of the sea were exposed,
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: and the foundations of the earth laid bear. At your rebuke, Lord,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: at the blast of breath from your nostrils. He reached
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: down from on high and took hold of me. He
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: but the Lord was my support. He brought me out
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: into a spacious place. He rescued me because he delighted
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: in me. The Lord has dealt with me according to
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands. He
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: has rewarded me. For I have kept the ways of
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I am not guilty of turning from my God.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: All his laws are before me. I have not turned
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and away from his decrees. I have been blameless before
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: him and have kept myself from sin. The Lord has
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of my hands. In his sight. To the faithful, you
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: show yourself faithful. To the blameless, you show yourself blameless.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: To the pure, you show yourself pure. But to the devious,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: you show yourself shrewd. You save the humboldt, but bring
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: loth those whose eyes are haughty. You Lord keep my
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: lamp burning. My God turns my darkness into light. With
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: your help, I can advance against a troop. With my God,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: I can scale a war. As for God, his way
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: is perfect. The Lord's word is flawless. He shields all
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: who take refuge in him. For who is God besides
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: the Lord, and who is the rock except our God.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: It is God who arms me with strength and keeps
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: my way secure. He makes my feet like the feet
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of a deer. He causes me to stand on the heights.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: He trains my hands for battle. My arms can bend
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: a bow of bronze. You make your saving help my shield,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: and your right hand sustains me. Your help has made
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: me great. You provide a broad path for my feet,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: so that my ankles do not give way. I pursued
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: my enemies and overtook them. I did not turn back
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: till they were destroyed. I crushed them so that they
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: could not rise. They fell beneath my feet. You armed
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: me with strength for battle. You humbled my adversaries before me.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I destroyed my foes. They cried for help, but there
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: was no one to save them to the Lord, but
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: he did not answer. I beat them as fine as
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: wind blown dust. I trampled them like mud in the streets.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You have delivered me from the attacks of the people.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: You have made me the head of nations. People I
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: did not know now serve me. Foreigners cower before me.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: As soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: They all lose heart. They come trembling from their strongholds.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: The Lord lives. Praise be to my rock. Exalted be God,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: my savior. He is the God who avenges me, who
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: subdues nations under me, who saves me from my enemies.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: You exalted me above my foes. From a violent man.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: You rescued me. Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: the nations. I will sing the praises of your name.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: He gives his king great victory. He shows unfailing love
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: to his anointed, to David, and to his descendants forever
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Psalm nineteen. The heavens declare the glory of God. The
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: They pour forth speech, night after night. They reveal knowledge.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: They have no speech, they use no words, No sound
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: In the heavens, God has pitched a tent for the sun.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: like a champion rejoicing to run his course, it rises
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: to the other. Nothing is deprived of its warmth. The
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: than much pure gold. They are sweeter than honey, than
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: honey from the honeycomb. By them, your servant is warned.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: In keeping them there is great reward. But who can
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: servant also from wilful sins. May they not rule over me.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression. May
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: these words of my mouth and this meditation of my
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my wrong and
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: my redeemer, Psalm twenty. May the Lord answer you when
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: you are in distress. May the name of the God
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: of Jacob protect you. May he send you help from
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion. May He
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: remember all your sacrifices and accept your burnt offerings. May
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: He give you the desire of your heart and make
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: all your plans succeed. May we shout for joy over
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: your victory and lift up our banners in the name
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Now this I know. The Lord gives victory to his anointed.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: some in horses, but we trust in the name of
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: the Lord, our God. They are brought to their knees
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: and fall that we rise up and stand firm. Lord,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: give victory to the King. Answer us when we call
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Psalm twenty one. The king Rejeld voices in your strength, Lord,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: how great is his joy in the victories you give.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: You have granted him his heart's desire, and have not
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: withheld the request of his lips. You came to greet
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: him with rich blessings and placed a crown of pure
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: gold on his head. He asked you for life, and
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: you gave it to him, length of days for ever
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: and ever through the victories you gave. His glory is great.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: You have bestowed on him splendor and majesty. Surely you
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: the joy of your presence. For the King trusts in
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord, through the unfailing love of the most High,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: he will not be shaken. Your hand will lay hold
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: on all your enemies. Your right hand will seize your foes.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: When you appear for battle. You will burn them up
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: as in a blazing furnace. The Lord will swallow them
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: up in his wrath, and his fire will consume them.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: from mankind. Though they plot evil against you and devise
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: wicked schemes, they cannot succeed. You will make them turn
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: their banks when you aim at them with drawn bow.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Be exalted in your strength, Lord, we will sing and
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: praise your might. Psalm twenty two, My God, my God,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish O,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: my God, I cry out by day, but you do
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: not answer. By night, But I find no rest. Yet
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: you are enthroned as the Holy One. You are the
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: one Israel praises in you. Our ancestors put their trust.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: They trusted, and you delivered them to you. They cried
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: out and were saved in you. They trusted and were
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: not put to shame. But I am a worm and
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: not a man, scorned by every one, despised by the people.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: All who see me mock me. They hurl insults, shaking
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: their heads. He trusts in the Lord, they say, Let
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the Lord rescue him, let him deliver him, since he
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: delights in him. Yet you brought me out of the womb.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: You made me trust in you, even of my mother's breast.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: From birth. I was cast on you, from my mother's womb.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: You have been my God. Do not be far from me,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Many bulls surround me, strong bulls of bashion encircle me,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: roaring lions that tear their prey, open their mouths wide
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: against me. I am poured out like water, and all
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: to wax, it has melted within me. My mouth is
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: dust of death. Dogs surround me. A pack of villains
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: encircles me. They pierce my hands and my feet. All
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: my bones are on display. People stare and gloat over me.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: They divide my clothes among them, and cast lots for
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: my garment. But you, Lord, do not be far from me.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: You are my strength. Come quickly to help me. Deliver
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: me from the sword, my precious life, from the power
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: of the dogs. Rescue me from the mouth of the lions,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: Save me from the horns of the wild oxen. I
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: will declare your name to my people. In the assembly.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: I will praise you, you who fear the Lord. Praise him,
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: all you descendants of Jacob, Honor him, Revere him, all
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: you descendants of Israel. For he has despised or scorned
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the suffering of the afflicted one. He has not hidden
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: his face from him, but has listened to his cry
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: for help. From you comes the theme of my praise,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: and the great assembly. Before those who fear you. I
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: will fulfill my vows. The poor will eat and be satisfied.

• 42:38
  Speaker 1: He guides me along the right paths for his namesake.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: and your star they comfort me. You prepare a table
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely your goodness
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: and love will follow me all the days of my life,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: for ever Psalm twenty four. The Earth is the Lord's
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and everything in it, the world and all who live
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: in it. For he founded it on the seas and
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: established it on the waters. Who may ascend the mountain
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, who may stand in his holy place,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: the one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: who does not trust in an idol or swear by
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: a false god. They will receive blessing from the Lord
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: and vindication from God their Savior. Such is the generation
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: of those who seek Him, who seek your faith, God
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: of Jacob. Lift up your heads, you gates, be lifted up,

  Speaker 1: nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: hopes in you will ever be put to shame. But

  Speaker 1: eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will

• 48:40
  Speaker 1: with those who are bloodthirsty, in whose hands are wicked schemes,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: whose right hands are full of bribes. I lead a
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: blameless life. Deliver me and be merciful to me. My
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: feet stand on level ground. In the great congregation, I
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: will praise the Lord Psalm twenty seven. The Lord is
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Lord is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: I be afraid when the wicked advance against me to
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: devour me. It is my enemies and my foes who
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: will stumble and fall. Though an army beseech me, My
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: heart will not fear the war break out against me.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Even then I will be confident. One thing I ask
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: from the Lord. This only do I seek, that I
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: may dwell in the house of the Lord all the
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: the Lord, and to seek him in his temple. For
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: in the day of trouble, he will keep me safe
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: in his dwelling. He will hide me in the shelter
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: of his sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: surround me at his sacred tent. I will sacrifice with
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Hear my voice when I call, Lord, be
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: you seek his face, your face, Lord, I will seek.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: your servant away in anger. You have been my helper.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Do not reject me or forsake me. God is my savior.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: receive me. Teach me your way. Lord, lead me in
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: a straight path because of my oppressors. Do not turn
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: me over to the desire of my foes. For false
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: confident of this. I will see the goodness of the
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: Be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Psalm twenty eight. To you, Lord, I call you are
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: my rock. Do not turn a deaf ear to me,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: for if you remain silent, I will be like those
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: who go down to the pit. Here my cry for mercy.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: As I call to you for help, as I lift
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: up my hands towards your most holy place. Yes, do
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: not drag me away with the wicked, with those who
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors, but harbor
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: malice in their hearts. Repay them for their deeds and
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: for their evil work. Repay them for what their hands
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: have done, and bring back on them what they deserve.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Because they have no regard for the deeds of the
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: Lord and what his hands have done, he will tear
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: them down and never build them up again. Praise be
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: to the Lord, for he has heard my cry of mercy.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: The Lord is my strength and my shield. My heart
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: for joy, and with my son I praise him. The
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: salvation for his anointed one. Save your people and bless
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever. Psalm
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: twenty nine. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings. Ascribe
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: to the Lord. Glory and strength Ascribed to the Lord
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: the Glory due his name. Worship the Lord in the
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: splendor of his holiness. The voice of the Lord is
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: over the waters. The God of Glory thunders. The Lord
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is powerful. The voice of the Lord is majestic. The
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: voice of the Lord breaks the cedars. The Lord breaks
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon leap
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: like a calf sarrion, like a young wild ox. The
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning. The
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: voice of the Lord shakes the desert. The Lord shakes
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the desert of Kerdesh. The voice of the Lord twists
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: the oaks and strips the forest's bear, And in his
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: temple all cry glory. The Lord sits enthroned over the flood.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: The Lord is enthroned as king for ever. The Lord
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: gives strength to his people. The Lord blesses his people
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: with peace. Psalm thirty. I will exalt you, Lord, for
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: you lifted me out of the depths and did not
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: let my enemies gloat over me. Lord, my God, I
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: called to you for help, and you healed me. You
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: Lord brought me up from the realm of the dead.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: You spare me from going down to the pit. Sing
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: the praises of the Lord. You, his faithful people, praise
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: his holy name, for his anger lasts only a moment,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: but his favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay for
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. When I
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: felt secure, I said, I will never be shaken. Lord.
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: When you favored me, you made my royal mountains stand firm.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: But when you hid your faith, I was dismayed. To you, Lord,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: I called to the Lord. I cried for mercy. What
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: is gained if I am silenced? If I go down
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: to the pit, will the dust praise you? Will it
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: proclaim your faithfulness? Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me. Lord,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: be my help. You turn my wailing into dancing. You
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: my God, I will praise you forever, Psalm thirty one.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: In you, Lord, I have taken refuge. Let me never
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: be put to shame. Deliver me and your righteousness. Turn
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: your ear to me. Come quickly to my rescue. Be
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Since you are my rock and my fortress. For the
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: sake of your name, Lead and guide me. Keep me
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: free from the trap that is set for me. For
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: You are my refuge. Into your hands. I commit my spirit.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Deliver me, Lord, my faithful God. I hate those who
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: cling to worthless idols. As for me, I trust in
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I will be glad and rejoice in your love.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: For you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: my soul. You have not given me into the hands
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: of the enemy, but have set my feet in a
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: spacious place. Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: in distress. My eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: and body with grief. My life is consumed by anguish,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: and my years by groaning. My strength fails because of
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: my affliction, and my bones grow weak. Because of all
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: my enemies. I am the utter contempt of my neighbors,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: and an object of dread to my closest friends. Those
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: who see me on the street flee from me. I
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: am forgotten, as though I were dead. I have become
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: like broken pottery. For I hear many whispering terror on
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: every side. They conspire against me and plot to take
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: my life. But I trust in you, Lord. I say
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: you are my God. My times are in your hands.
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: Deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant,
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Save me in your unfailing love. Let me not be
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: put to shame, Lord, for I have cried out to you.
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: But let the wicked be put to shame and be
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: silent in the realm of the dead. Let their lying
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: arrogantly against the righteous. How abundant are the good things
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: that you have stored up for those who fear you,
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: that you bestow in the sight of all on those
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: who take refuge in you. In the shelter of your presence,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: you hide them from all human intrigues. You keep them
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: safe in your dwelling, from accusing tongues. Praise be to
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: When I was in a city under siege. In my alarm,
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I said, I am cut off from your sight. Yet
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: you heard my cry for mercy when I called to
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: you for help. Love the Lord, all his faithful people.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: the proud he pays back in full. Be strong and
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. Psalm
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: thirty two Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven,
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: whose sins are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: the Lord does not count against them, and whose spirit
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones wasted
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: away through my groaning all day long, for day and night,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: your hand was heavy on me. My strength was sapped
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: as in the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: and you forgave the guilt of my sin. Therefore, let
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: all the faithful pray to you, while you may be found.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: You are my hiding place. You will protect me from
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Do not be like the horse or the mule, which
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: have no understanding, but must be controlled by bit and bridle,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: or they will not come to you. Many are the
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: woes of the wicked, But the Lord's unfailing love surrounds
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: the one who trusts in him. Rejoice in the Lord,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: and be glad, you righteous. Sing, all you who are
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: upright in heart Psalm thirty three, Sing joyfully to the Lord,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: you righteous. It is fitting for the upright to praise him.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord with the heart. Make music to him.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: On the ten stringed liar, sing to him a new song.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: Playskillfully and shout for joy. For the word of the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Lord is right and true. He is faithful in all
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice. The earth
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: is full of his unfailing love. By the word of
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: the Lord, the heavens were made their starry host by
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters of
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: the sea into jars, He puts the deep into storehouses.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: it came to be. He commanded, and it stood firm.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: The Lord foils the plans of the nations. He thwarts
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: the purposes of the peoples, But the plans of the
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Lord stand firm for ever the purposes of his heart
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: the Lord. The people he chose for his inheritance from heaven.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: The Lord looks down and sees all mankind from his
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: dwelling place. He watches all who live on earth, He
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: No king is saved by the size of his army.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: No warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: a vain hope for deliverance. Despite all its great strength,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: it cannot save. But the eyes of the Lord are
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: on those who fear him, on those whose hope is
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: in his unfailing love, to deliver them from death and
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: keep them alive in famine. We wait in hope for
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: we put our hope in you, Psalm thirty four. I
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: will extol the Lord at all times. His praise will
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: always be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: Let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: and he answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: Those who look to him, are radiant. Their faces are
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: Lord heard him. He saved him out of all his troubles.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: Fear the Lord, you, his holy people. For those who
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: For those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: my children, listen to me. I will teach you the
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: desires to see many good days. Keep your tongue from
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: are attentive to their cry. But the face of the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: their name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: the Lord hears them. He delivers them from all their troubles.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: have many troubles, But the Lord delivers him from them all.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: He protects all his bones. Not one of them will
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: be broken. Evil will slay the wicked. The foes of
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Psalm thirty five. Contend Lord with those who contend with me,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: and armor, arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: I am your salvation. May those who seek my life
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: be disgraced and put to shame. May those who plot
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: like chaff before the wind, with the Angel of the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Lord driving them away. May their path be dark and slippery,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: with the Angel of the Lord pursuing them. Since they
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: hid their net for me without cause and without cause,
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: dug a pit for me. May ruin overtake them by surprise.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: May the net they hid entangle them. May they fall
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: into the pit to their ruin. Then my soul will
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. My
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: whole being will exclaim, who is like you, Lord? You
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: poor and the needy from those who robbed them. Ruthless
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: witnesses come forward. They question me on things I know
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: nothing about. They repay me evil for good, and leave
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: me like one bereaved. Yet, when they were ill, I
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: prayers returned to me unanswered, I went about mourning as
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: though for a friend or brother. I bowed my head
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: in grief, as though weeping for my mother. And when
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: I stumbled, they gathered in glee. Assailants gathered against me.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Without my knowledge, they slandered me without ceasing, Like the
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: ungodly they maliciously mocked. They gnashed their teeth of me.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: How long, Lord will you look on? Rescue me from
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: their ravages, my precious life from these lions. I will
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: give you thanks. In the great assembly, among the throngs,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: I will praise you. Do not let those gloat over
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: me who are my enemies without cause. Do not let
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: those who live quietly in the land. They sneer at
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: me and say, aha, aha, with our own eyes, we
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: have seen it. Lord, you have seen this. Do not
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 1: be silent. Do not be far from me. Lord, awake
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: and rise to my defense. Contend for me, my God,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: and Lord vindicate me and your righteousnesess, Lord, my God.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: Do not let them gloat over me. Do not let
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: them think, ah, just what we wanted, or say we
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: have swallowed him up. May all who gloat over my
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: distress be put to shame and confusion. May all who
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: and gladness. May they always say the Lord be exalted,
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: who delights in the well being of his servant. My
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: tongue will proclaim your righteousness your praises all day long.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Psalm thirty six. I have a message from God in
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked. There is
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: no fear of God before their eyes. In their own eyes,
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful. They
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: fail to act wisely or do good. Even on their beds,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: they plot evil. They commit themselves to a sinful course,
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: and do not reject what is wrong. Your love, Lord,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the sky. Your
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: great deep. You Lord, preserve both people and animals. How
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: priceless is your unfailing love, O God. People take refuge
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: abundance of your house. You give them drink from your
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: river of delights, For with you is the fountain of life.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: In your light we see light. Continue your love to
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: those who know you, Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: May the foot of the proud not come against me,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. See
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: how the evil doers lie fallen, thrown down, not able
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: to write Psalm thirty seven. Do not fret because of
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: those who are evil, or be envious of those who
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: do wrong, For like the grass, they will soon wither.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Like green plants, they will soon die away. Trust in
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: will give you the desires of your heart. Come your
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: way to the Lord. Trust in him, and he will
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: do this. He will make your righteous reward shine like
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Do not
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: Do not fret. It leads only to evil, for those
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: who are evil will be destroyed. But those who hope
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: in the Lord will inherit the land a little while,
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: and the wicked will be no more. Though you look
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: for them, they will not be found. But the meek
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. The
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: their day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy,
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: to slay those whose ways are upright. But their swords
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: of many wicked, For the power of the wicked will
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: be broken, but the Lord upholds the righteous. The blameless
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: spend their days under the Lord's care, and their inheritance
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: will endure forever. In times of disaster, they will not wither.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: In days of famine, they will enjoy plenty. But the
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: wicked will perish. Though the Lord's enemies are like the
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: flowers of the field, they will be consumed. They will
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: go up in smoke. The wicked borrow and do not repay,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: But the righteous give generously. Those the Lord blesses will
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: delights in him. Though he may stumble, he will not fall,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: for the Lord upholds him with his hand. I was young,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: and now I am old. Yet I have never seen
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: always generous and lend freely. Their children will be a blessing.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Turn from evil and do good. Then you will dwell
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: in the land for ever. For the Lord loves the
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: just and will not forsake his faithful one. Wrongdoers will
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: be completely destroyed. The offspring of the wicked will perish.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: speak what is just. The law of their God is
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: in their hearts their feet. Do not slip. The wicked
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: lie in wait for the righteous, intent on putting them
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: to death. But the Lord will not leave them in
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: the power of the wicked, or let them be condemned
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: when brought to trial, Hope in the Lord and keep
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: his way. He will exalt you to inherit the land.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: When the wicked are destroyed, you will see it. I
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like a
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: luxuriant native tree. But he soon passed away and was
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: no more. Though I looked for him, he could not
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: be found. Consider the blameless, observe the upright. The future
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: awaits those who seek peace, But all sinners will be destroyed.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: There will be no future for the wicked. The salvation
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: of the righteous comes from the Lord. He is their stronghold.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: In time of trouble. The Lord helps them and delivers them.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: He delivers them from the wicked and saves them because
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: they take refuge in him. Psalm thirty eight, Lord, do
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: your wrath. Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: has come down on me. Because of your wrath, there
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: is no health in my body. There is no soundness
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: in my bones because of my sin. My guilt has
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. My
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: wounds fester and are loathsome. Because of my sinful folly,
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: I am bowed down and brought very low. All day
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: long I go about mourning. My back is filled with
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: searing pain. There is no health in my body. I
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: am feeble and utterly crushed. I groan in anguish of heart.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: All my longings lie open before you, Lord. My sighing
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: is not hidden from you. My heart pans, My strength
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: fails me. Even the light has gone from my eyes.
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: My neighbors stay far away. Those who want to kill
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 1: me set their traps. Those who would harm me talk
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: of my ruin all day long. They scheme and lie.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: I am like the death who cannot hear, like the
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: mute who cannot speak. I have become like one who
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. Lord,
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: I wait for you. You will answer, Lord, my God,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: For I said, do not let them gloat or exalt
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: themselves over me when my feet slip, For I am
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: I confess my iniquity. I am troubled by my sin.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: Many have become my enemies without cause. Those who hate
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: me without reason. Are numerous, those who repay my good
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: with evil, large accusations against me. Though I seek only
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: to do what is good. Lord, do not forsake me.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Do not be far from me, My God, Come quickly
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: to help me, my Lord and my savior, Psalm thirty nine.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: I said, I will watch my ways and keep my
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: tongue from sin. I will put a muzzle on my mouth.
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: While in the presence of the wicked so I remained
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: utterly silent, not even saying anything good. But my anguish increased.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: My heart grew hot within me. While I meditated, the
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: fire burned. Then I spoke with my tongue. Show me, Lord,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: my life's end and the number of my days. Let
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: me know how fleeting my life is. You have made
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: my days a mere hand breadth. The span of my
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: years is as nothing before you. Every one is but
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: a breath, even those who seem secure. Surely every one
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: goes around like a mere phantom in vain. They rush
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: about heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: But now, Lord, what do I look for? My hope
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: is in you. Save me from all my transgressions. Do
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: not make me the scorn of fools. I was silent.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: I would not open my mouth, for you are the
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: one who has done this. Remove your scourge from me.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: I am overcome by the blow of your hand. When
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: you rebuke and discipline anyone for their sin, you consume
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: their wealth like a moth. Surely every one is but
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: a breath. Here my prayer. Lord, listen to my cry
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: for help. Do not be deaf to my weeping. I
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: dwell with you as a foreigner, a stranger, as all
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: my ancestors were. Look away from me, that I may
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: enjoy life again. Before I depart and am no more
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: Psalm forty. I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: He set my feet on a rock and gave me
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: a firm place to stand. He put a new song
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: in my mouth a hymn of praise to our God.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: Many will see and fear the Lord and put their
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: trust in him. Blessed is the one who trusts in
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: those who turn aside to false gods. Many, Lord, my God,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: are the wonders you have done the things you planned
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: for us. None can compare with you. Were I to
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: many to declare. Sacrifice and offering you did not desire.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: But my ears, you have opened burnt offerings and sin
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: offerings you did not require. Then I said, here I am,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: I have come. It is written about me in the scroll.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: I desire to do your will, My God, Your law
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: is within my heart. I proclaim your saving acts in
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: the Great Assembly. I do not seal my lips. Lord,
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: as you know, I do not hide your righteousness in
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: my heart. I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness from
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: the Great Assembly. Do not withhold your mercy from me. Lord,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: May your love and faithfulness always protect me for troubles
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: without numbers around me, My sins have overtaken me and
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: my head, and my heart fails within me. Be pleased
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: to save me. Lord, Come quickly, Lord to help me.
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: May all who want to take my life be put
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: to shame and confusion. May all who desire my ruin
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: be turned back in disgrace. May those who say to
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: me aha ah be appalled at their own shame. But
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: May those who long for your saving help always say
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: the Lord is great. But as for me, I am
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: poor and needy. May the Lord think of me. You
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: are my help and my deliverer. You are my God.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: Do not delay Psalm forty one. Blessed are those who
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: have regard for the weak. The Lord delivers them in
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: times of trouble. The Lord protects and preserves them. They
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: are counted among the blessed in the land. He does
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: not give them over to the desire of their foes.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: The Lord sustains them on their sick bed and restores
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: them from their bed of illness. I said, have mercy
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: on me, Lord, heal me, for I have sinned against you.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: My enemies say of me in malice. When will he
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: die and his name perish. When one of them comes
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: to see me, he speaks falsely while his heart gathers slander.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Then he goes out and spreads it around. My enemies
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me,
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: saying a vile disease has afflicted him. He will never
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: get up from the place where he lies. Even my
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: has turned against me. But may you have mercy on me? Lord,
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: raise me up that I may repay them. I know
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: that you are pleased with me, for my enemy does
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: not triumph over me because of my integrity. You uphold
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: me and set me in your presence forever. Praise be
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: to the Lord, the God of Israel, from ever lasting
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: to everlasting. Amen and Amen. Book two, Psalm forty two.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: As the dear pants for streams of water, So my
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: for the living God. Where can I go and meet
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: with God? My tears have been my food day and night,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: while people say to me all day long, where is
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: your God? These things I remember as I pour out
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: my soul. How I used to go to the house
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: of God, under the protection of the Mighty One, with
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: shouts of joy and praise among the festive throng. Why
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: my Savior and my God. My soul is downcast within me.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: Therefore I will remember ye you from the land of
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: the Jordan, the heights of Hermann, from Mount Mizza. Deep
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: calls to Deep in the roar of your waterfalls. All
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: your waves and breakers have swept over me. By day
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 1: the Lord directs his love. At night his song is
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: with me, a prayer to the God of my life.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: I say to God, my Rock, why have you forgotten me?
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: Why must I go about mourning? Oppress'd by the enemy?
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: My bones suffer mortal agony, as my foes taunt me,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: saying to me all day long, where is your God?
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: Why my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: my Savior and my God. Psalm forty three. Vindicate me,
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked. You
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 1: are God, my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: must I go about mourning oppressed by the enemy. Send
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: me your light and your faithful care. Let them lead me,
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: Let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: place where you dwell. Then I will go to the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: I will praise you with the liar. O God, my God,
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: Why my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him,
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: my savior and my God, Psalm forty four. We have
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: heard it with our O God, Our ancestors have told
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: us what you did in their days, in days long ago.
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: With your hand, you drove out the nations and planted
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: our ancestors. You crushed the peoples and made our ancestors flourish.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: It was not by their sword that they won the land,
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: nor did their arm bring them victory. It was your
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: right hand, your arm, and the light of your faith.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: For you loved them. You are my king and my God,
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 1: who decrees victories for Jacob. Through you, we push back
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: our enemies. Through your name, we trample our foes. I
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: put no trust in my bow. My sword does not
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: bring me victory, but you give us victory over our enemies.
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: You put our adversaries to shame. In God, we make
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: our boast all day long, and we will praise your
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: name forever. But now you have rejected and humbled us.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: You no longer go out with our armies. You made
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: us retreat before the enemy, and our adversaries have plundered us.
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: You gave us up to be devoured like sheep, and
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: have scattered us among the nations. You sold your people
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: for a pittance, gaining nothing from their sale. You have
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: made us a reproach to our neighbors, the scorn and
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: derision of those around us. You have made us a
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: by word among the nations. The peoples shake their heads
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 1: at us. I live in disgrace all day long. In
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 1: my face is covered with shame at the taunts of
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: those who reproach and revile me the cause of the
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: enemy who is bent on revenge. All this came upon
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: us though we had not forgotten you. We had not
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: been false to your covenant. Our hearts had not turned back,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: our feet had not strayed from your path. But you
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 1: crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals. You
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 1: covered us over with deep darkness. If we had forgotten
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: the name of our God, or spread out our hands
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: to a foreign god, would not God have discovered it,
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: since he knows the secrets of the heart. Yet, for
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: your sake we face death all day long. We are
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: considered as sheep to be slaughtered. Awake, Lord, why do
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: you sleep, rouse yourself? Do not reject us forever? Why
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: do you hide your face and forget our misery and oppression.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: We are brought down to the dust, our bodies cling
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: to the ground. Rise up and help us rescue us
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: because of your unfailing love Psalm forty five. My heart
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 1: verses for the king. My tongue is the pen of
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 1: a skillful writer. You are the most excellent of men,
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: and your lips have been anointed with grace, since God
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: has blessed you forever. Gird your sword on your side, you,
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: mighty one, clothe yourself with splendor and majesty. In your majesty,
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility, and justice.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: Let your right hand achieve awesome deeds. Let your sharp
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: arrows pierce the hearts of the king's enemies. Let the
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: nations fall beneath your feet. Your throne, O God, will
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: last forever and ever. Of justice will be the scepter
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: of your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness. Therefore, God,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: your God, has set you above your companions by anointing
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: you with the oil of joy. All your robes are
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: fragrant with mrh and aloes, and cashier from palaces adorned
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: with ivory. The music of the strings makes you glad.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: Daughters of kings are among your honored women. At your
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 1: right hand is the royal bride in gold of o fear. Listen, daughter,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: and pay careful attention. Forget your people and your father's house.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: Let the king be enthralled by your beauty. Honor him,
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: for he is your lord. The city of tire will
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: come with a gift. People of wealth will seek your favor.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: All glorious is the princess. Within her chamber, her gown
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: is interwoven with gold in embroidered garments. She is led
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: to the king. Her virgin companions follow her. Those brought
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: to be with her. Led with joy and gladness, they
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: enter the palace of the King. Your sons will take
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: the place of your fathers. You will make them princes
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: throughout the land. I will perpetuate your memory through all generations.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: Therefore the nations will praise you for ever and ever
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: Psalm forty six. God is our refuge and strength, an
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 1: Though the earth give way and the mountains fall into
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam,
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: and the mountains quake with their surging, there is a
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: river whose streams make glad. The City of God, the
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: holy place where the most High dwells. God is within her.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: She will not fall. God will help her. At break
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: of day, nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall. He lifts
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: his voice. The earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: The God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: of the earth. He breaks the bow and shutters the spear.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: He burns the shields with fire. He says, be still
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: and know that I am God. I will be exalted
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: The Lord Almighty is with us. The God of Jacob
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: is our fortress Psalm. Forty seven. Clap your hands, all

• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: the Lord most High is awsoon, the Great King over
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: all the earth. He subdued nations under us, peoples under
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: our feet. He chose our inheritance for us. The pride
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: of Jacob, whom he loved. God has ascended amidst shouts
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 1: of joy the Lord, amidst the sounding of trumpets. Sing

  Speaker 1: Sing to him a psalm of praise. God reigns over
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: the nations. God is seated on his holy throne. The
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: God of Abraham, for the kings of the earth. To God,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: he is greatly exalted, Psalm forty eight. Great is the
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: Lord and most worthy of praise. In the city of
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: our God, His holy mountain, beautiful in its loftiness, the
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zavon,
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: is Mount Zion the city of the Great King. God
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: is in her citadels. He has shown himself to be
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: her fortress. When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together,
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: they saw her and were astounded. They fled in terror.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: Trembling seized them. There pain like that of a woman
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: in labor. You destroyed them like ships of tarshish, shattered
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: by an east wind. As we have heard, so we
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: have seen in the city of the Lord Almighty, in
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: the city of our God. God makes her secure forever
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 1: Like your name, O God, Your praise reaches to the
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: ends of the earth. Your right hand is filled with righteousness.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: Mount Zion rejoices. The villages of Judah are glad because
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: of your judgments. Walk about Zion, Go around her counter towers,
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: tell of them to the next generation. For this God
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: is our God, forever and ever. He will be our guide,
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 1: even to the end Psalm forty nine. Hear this, all
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 1: you peoples. Listen, all who live in this world, both
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 1: low and high, rich and poor, alike. My mouth will
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: speak words of wisdom. The meditation of my heart will
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: give you understanding. I will turn my ear to a
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: proverb with the harp, I will expound my riddle. Why
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: surround me Those who trust in their wealth and boast
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 1: of their great riches. No one can redeem the life
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: of another, or give to God a ransom for them.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: The ransom for a life is costly. No payment is
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: ever enough, so that they should live on forever and
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: not see decay. For all can see that the wise die,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 1: wealth to others. Their tombs will remain their houses forever,
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: their dwellings for endless generations. Though they had named lands
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: after themselves, people despite their wealth, do not endure. They
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 1: are like the beasts that perish. This is the fate
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: of those who trust in themselves and of their followers
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: who approve their sayings. They are like sheep and are
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: destined to die. Death will be their shepherd, but the
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: upright will prevail over them in the morning. Their forms
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 1: will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: He will surely take me to himself. Do not be
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: overawed when others grow rich when the splendor of their
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: houses increases, for they will take nothing with them when
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: they die. Their splendor will not descend with them. Though
• 1:41:49
  Speaker 1: while they live they count themselves blessed, and people praise you.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: When you prosper, they will join those who have gone
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: before them, who will never again see the light of life.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: beasts that perish Psalm fifty. The Mighty One God, the Lord,
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 1: speaks and summons the earth from the writing of the
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: sun to where it sets from Zion perfect in beauty,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: God shines forth. Our God comes and will not be silent.
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: A fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: He summons the heavens above and the earth, that he
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: may judge His people. Gather to me this consecrated people
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: who made a covenant with me by sacrifice, and the
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice. Listen,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: I people, and I will speak. I will testify against you, Israel.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: I am God your God. I bring no charges against
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 1: you concerning your sacrifices, or concerning your burnt offerings, which
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: are ever before me. I have no need of a
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: bull from your stall, or of goats from your pens.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: For every animal of the forest is mine, and the
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: If I were hungry, I would not tell you. For
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 1: the world is mine and all that is in it.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 1: Do I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: blood of goats? Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 1: vows to the most High, and call on me in
• 1:43:57
  Speaker 1: the day of trouble. I deliver you, and you will
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: honor me. But to the wicked person, God says, what
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: right have you to recite my laws or take my
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: covenant on your lips? You hate my instruction and cast
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: my words behind you. When you see a thief, you
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 1: join with him. You throw in your lot with adulterers.
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: You use your mouth for evil, and harness your tongue
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: to deceit. You sit and testify against your brother and
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: slander your own mother's son. When you did these things
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: and I kept silent, you thought I was exactly like you.
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: But Now I arraign you and set my accusations before
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: you consider this. You who forget God, or I will
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: tear you to pieces with no one to rescue you.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: Those who sacrifice thank offerings, honor me, and the blameless
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: I will show my salvation
