• 0:12
  Hello, friends. It is shown here and it is a
• 0:16
  Friday. Congratulations on making it
• 0:18
  through to the end of the week. Boy, if you've ever done a big
• 0:22
  long hike, it's like you just use up all of your battery power
• 0:28
  until you got nothing left. Attend.
• 0:30
  I gotta say this week, I have been dragging myself around like
• 0:34
  a very tired and depleted human. So I am looking forward to a
• 0:39
  week and I hope you are doing life with more energy than me
• 0:44
  this week, but no matter how much energy you have.
• 0:46
  Here, we are at the end of the week together and that means it
• 0:51
  is time to read a Psalm. And this week's arm is for the
• 0:54
  choir director, a Psalm of David to be sung to the tune Lily.
• 1:00
  He's sounds lovely, doesn't it? And this Psalm is a lament son
• 1:04
  with breaking hearts to the sounds of well, lilies.
• 1:10
  So, join me on this Friday as you.
• 1:13
  And I read together, the sum of lament Psalm 69
• 1:28
  Save Me, O God for the flood waters are up to my neck, deeper
• 1:33
  and deeper, I sink into the mire.
• 1:35
  I can't find a foothold. I am in deep water.
• 1:39
  In the floods, overwhelm me, I'm exhausted from crying for help,
• 1:44
  my throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping
• 1:48
  waiting for my God to help me those who hate me without cause
• 1:53
  outnumber the hairs on my head. Many enemies.
• 1:56
  He's try to destroy me with lies demanding, that I give back what
• 2:01
  I didn't steal. My God you know how foolish I
• 2:05
  am? My sins cannot be hidden from
• 2:07
  you, don't let those who trust in you be a shame because of me,
• 2:13
  I'll Sovereign Lord of Heavens armies.
• 2:16
  Don't let me cause them to be humiliated.
• 2:19
  I'll God of Israel for I enjoy insults for your sake.
• 2:23
  Humiliation is written all over my face.
• 2:26
  Even my own brother's pretend. They don't know me.
• 2:29
  I treat me like a stranger. Passion for your house, has
• 2:33
  consumed me and the insults of those who insult you have fallen
• 2:38
  on me, when I weep and fast they scoff at me, when I dress in
• 2:43
  Burlap to show sorrow, they make fun of me.
• 2:47
  I am the favourite topic of town gossip and all the drunks sing
• 2:51
  about me, but I keep praying to you, Lord, hoping this time you
• 2:56
  will show me favor in your unfailing love.
• 3:01
  Oh God, answer my prayer with your sure.
• 3:03
  Salvation rescue me from the mud.
• 3:06
  Don't let me sink any deeper. Save me from those who hate me
• 3:11
  and pulled me from these deep Waters.
• 3:14
  Don't let the floods overwhelm me or the Deepwater swallow me
• 3:19
  or the pit of death. Devour me answer my prayers O.
• 3:23
  Lord for your unfailing love is wonderful.
• 3:27
  Take care of me for your mercy is so plentiful.
• 3:31
  Don't hide from your servant. Answer me quickly for I am in
• 3:35
  deep trouble. Carmen Redeem Me free me from my
• 3:39
  enemies. Do you know of my shame scorned,
• 3:43
  disgrace? You see all that?
• 3:45
  My enemies are doing that insults have broken my heart and
• 3:50
  I am in despair. If only one person would show
• 3:55
  some pity if only one would turn and comfort me.
• 3:59
  But instead they give me poison for food, they offer me sour
• 4:03
  wine for my thirst. Let the Bountiful table set
• 4:08
  before them become a snare and let their prosperity become a
• 4:11
  trap that their eyes. Go blind.
• 4:14
  So they cannot see and make their bodies Shake continually
• 4:19
  pour out your fury on them, consume them with your Burning
• 4:23
  Anger, let their homes become desolate, and their tents be
• 4:27
  deserted. To the one.
• 4:30
  You have punished, they add insult to injury.
• 4:34
  They add to the pain of those. You have hurt pile, their sins
• 4:39
  up high and don't let them go free.
• 4:41
  It raised their names from The Book of Life and don't let them
• 4:45
  be counted among the righteous. I am suffering.
• 4:48
  And in pain, Rescue Me, O God by your saving power, then I will
• 4:54
  praise God's name with singing and I will honor him with
• 4:58
  Thanksgiving. For this will, please the Lord
• 5:02
  more than sacrificing cattle, more than presenting a bull with
• 5:06
  its horns and Hooves. The Humble will see their God at
• 5:10
  work and be glad they'd all who seek God's help be encouraged
• 5:15
  for the Lord, hears, the cries of the needy.
• 5:18
  He does not despise his imprisoned, people, praise Him,
• 5:22
  o Heaven and Earth the Seas and all that move in them for God
• 5:27
  Will Save Jerusalem and rebuild. The towns of Judah.
• 5:32
  His people will live there and settle in their own land.
• 5:37
  The It's of those who obey him will inherit the land and those
• 5:42
  who love him will live there in safety.
• 5:57
  Lord, thank you for the psalmist and his Earnest Christ to you
• 6:01
  and move us that when our hearts are breaking and we are
• 6:05

  pit, there you are beside us. Hey, you are Jesus with your

  alone. So we love you and we lift you
