• 0:12
  Hello friends, it's shown here. It is the 16th of February and
• 0:17
  we have reached the end of the week together.
• 0:20
  Good on you. Welcome to Friday.
• 0:22
  So good to have your company today as we are going to read a
• 0:26
  sum together. Today we are reading Assam of
• 0:30
  Praise Assam 104. This sum, well, it's not the
• 0:34
  shortest time we've read it goes for about 34 versus No, that's
• 0:39
  not true. 35 versus And it is just a line of praise after
• 0:44
  praise after praise. Just let them wash over you.
• 0:48
  You're not going to be able to to soak up all of it, each word,
• 0:51
  each sentence, because it is just so much praise.
• 0:55
  But just let your heart go along with it as we come before our
• 0:59
  incredible praiseworthy God with the posture of praise, and we
• 1:03
  joined this alarmist in making these statements of praise
• 1:07
  together. So let's do this, friends.
• 1:10
  Let us celebrate this Friday, the end of the week, with a
• 1:14
  moment of recuperation ahead for you.
• 1:17
  And it's my hope anyway, as we settle ourselves.
• 1:21
  Come before our God, and praise Him with the words of Psalm 104.
• 1:36
  Let all that I am, praise the Lord, our Lord, my God, how
• 1:42
  great you are. You are robed with honour and
• 1:46
  majesty. You are dressed in a robe of
• 1:49
  light. You stretch out the starry
• 1:52
  curtains of the heavens. You lay out the rafters of your
• 1:55
  home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your
• 2:00
  chariot. You ride upon the wings of the
• 2:03
  wind. The winds are your messengers.
• 2:05
  Flames of fire are your servants.
• 2:09
  You place the world on its foundation so it would never be
• 2:12
  moved. You clothed the earth with
• 2:15
  floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.
• 2:20
  At your command. The water fled at the sound of
• 2:23
  your Thunder. It hurried away.
• 2:26
  Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.
• 2:31
  Then you set a firm boundary for the seas so that they would
• 2:35
  never again cover the earth. You make Springs pour water into
• 2:40
  the ravines so streams gush down from the mountains.
• 2:44
  They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys
• 2:48
  quench their thirst. The birds nest beside the
• 2:51
  streams and sing among the branches of the trees.
• 2:56
  You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you
• 3:00
  fill the earth with the fruit of your labour.
• 3:04
  You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people
• 3:08
  to use. You allow them to produce food
• 3:11
  from the earth, wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe
• 3:16
  their skin and bred to give them strength.
• 3:20
  The trees of the Lord are well cared for, the Cedars of Lebanon
• 3:24
  that he planted there. The birds make their nests and
• 3:28
  the stalks make their homes and the cypresses.
• 3:32
  High in the mountains live the wild goats and the rocks, former
• 3:37
  refuge for the high waxes. You made the moon to mark the
• 3:41
  seasons, and the sun knows when to set.
• 3:45
  You sent the darkness, and it becomes night when all the
• 3:50
  forest animals prowl about. Then the Young Lions roar for
• 3:54
  their prey, stalking the food provided by God.
• 3:59
  At dawn they slink back into their dens to rest.
• 4:03
  Then people go off to their work, where they labour until
• 4:07
  evening. Our Lord, what a variety of
• 4:10
  things you have made in wisdom, you have made them all.
• 4:14
  The earth is full of your creatures.
• 4:18
  Here is the ocean, vast and wide, teeming with life of every
• 4:23
  kind, both large and small. See the ship sailing along and
• 4:28
  Leviathan which you made to play in the sea.
• 4:33
  They all depend on you to give them food as they need it.
• 4:37
  When you supply it, they gather it, you open your hand to feed
• 4:42
  them, and they are richly satisfied.
• 4:45
  But if you turn away from them, they panic.
• 4:48
  When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust.
• 4:53
  When you give them your breath, life is created and you renew
• 4:58
  the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord
• 5:02
  continue forever. The Lord takes pleasure in all
• 5:06
  He has made. The earth trembles at his
• 5:10
  glance, The mountains smoke at his touch.
• 5:14
  I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
• 5:18
  I will praise my God to my last breath.
• 5:22
  May all my thoughts be pleasing to him.
• 5:25
  For I rejoice in the Lord. Let all sinners vanish from the
• 5:29
  face of the earth. Let the wicked disappear for
• 5:33
  ever. Let all that I am praise the
• 5:37
  Lord. Praise the Lord.
• 5:50
  Thank you, Thomas. Thank you, Lord, for this
• 5:55
  beautiful sum and for being so worthy of our praise.
• 6:00
  We do just praise you. And this scientist reminds us
• 6:04
  how big you are and how everything in this world,
• 6:08
  everything in this universe, is here, praising your name.
• 6:14
  Lord, I thank you for this starry skies above and the
• 6:18
  oceans around us and the animals of the night and the trees of
• 6:22
  the forest. You have made them all.
• 6:25
  You hold them, you sustain them, and you hold ass and you sustain
• 6:32
  us. And for that we are so grateful
• 6:37
  for your daily provisions. We thank you and we praise you.
• 6:43
  You alone are worthy of our praise.
• 6:47
  Continue to mould our hearts to continuously have this posture
• 6:52
  of praise to You, our wonderful God, Father, Son, and Holy
• 6:58
  Spirit. And it is in the name of your
• 7:02
  Son Jesus, that we pray all of these things.
• 7:05
  Ah man.
