  Speaker 1: In you, Lord, my God, I put my trust. I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: trust in you. Do not let me be put to shame,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: nor let my enemies triumph over me. No one who
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: hopes in you will ever be put to shame, but
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: shame will come on those who are treacherous without cause.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your parts, Guide
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: me in your truth, and teach me for you, our God,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: my savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Remember Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: from of old. Do not remember the sins of my
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: youth and my rebellious ways. According to your love. Remember me,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: for you, Lord are good, Good, and upright is the law.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Therefore he instructs sinners in his ways. He guides the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: humble in what is right, and teaches them his way.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: towards those who keep the demands of His covenant. For
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquity, though
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: it is great. Who then are those who fear the Lord.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: They will spend their days in prosperity, and their descendants
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: will inherit the land the Lord confides in those who
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: fear him. He makes his covenant known to them. My
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: release my feet from the snare. Turn to me and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Relieve the troubles of my heart and free me from
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: my anguish Look on my affliction and my distress, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: take away all my sins. See how numerous are my enemies,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and how fiercely they hate me. Guard my life and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: rescue me. Do not let me be put to shame,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: for I take refuge in you. May integrity and uprightness
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: protect me, because my hope Lord is in you. Deliver Israel,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: O God, from all their troubles. Blessed is the one
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and whose spirit is no deceit. When I kept silent,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: my bones were wasted away through my groaning all day long,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: for day and night, your hand was heavy on me.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: My strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: cover up my iniquity. I said, I will confess my
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: transgressions to the Lord, and you forgave the guilt of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: my sin. Therefore, let all the faithful pray to you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: while you may be found. Surely the rising of the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: mighty waters will not reach them. You are my hiding place.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: You will protect me from trouble and surround me with
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: songs of deliverance. I will instruct you and teach you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: in the way you should go. I will counsel you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: with my loving eye on you. Do not be like
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the horse or the mule, which have no understanding, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: must be controlled by bit and bridle, or they will
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: not come to you. Many are the woes of the wicked,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: but the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in him. Rejoice in the Lord, and be glad you righteous,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: sing all you who are upright in heart. Lord hear
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: my prayer. Listen to my cry for mercy. In your
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: faithfulness and righteousness, come to my relief. Do not bring
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: before you. The enemy pursues me, He crushes me to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the ground. He makes me dwell in the darkness like
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: those long dead. So my spirit grows faint within me.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: My heart within me is dismayed. I remember the days
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of long ago. I meditate on all your works and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: consider what your hands have done. I spread out my
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: hands to you. I thirst for you like a parched land.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Answer me quickly, Lord, my spirit fails. Do not hide
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: your face from me, or I will be like those
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: who go down to the pit. Let the morning. Bring
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: me word of your unfailing love. For I have put
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: my trust in you. Show me the way I should go.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: For to you I entrust my life. Rescue me from
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: my enemy's Lord, for I hide myself in you. Teach
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: me to do your will, for you are my God.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: May your good spirit lead me on level ground. For
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: your name's sake, Lord, preserve my life in your righteousness.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Bring me out of trouble in your unfailing love. Silence
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: my enemies. Destroy all my foes, for I am your servant.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Do not fret because of those.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Who are evil, or be envious of those who do wrong,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: For like the grass, they will soon whier. Like green plants,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: do good. Dwell in the land, and enjoy save pasture,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Trust in him, and he will do this. He will
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: wait patiently for him. Do not fret when people succeed
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Refrain from anger and turn from wrath. Do not fret.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It leads only to evil, For those who are evil
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: will be destroyed. But those who hope in the Lord
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: will inherit the land a little while, and the wicked
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: will be no more. Though you look for them, they
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: will not be found. But the meek will inherit the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: land and enjoy peace and prosperity. The wicked plot against
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the righteous and gnash their teeth at them. But the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: those whose ways are upright. But their swords will pierce
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. Better
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the little that the righteous have than wealth of many wicked,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: For the power of the wicked will be broken, but
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the Lord upholds the righteous. The blameless spend their days
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: under the Lord's care, and their inheritance will endure forever.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: In times of disaster, they will not wither. In days
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: of famine, they will enjoy plenty, But the wicked will perish.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Though the Lord's enemies are like the flowers of the field,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they will be consumed. They will go up in smoke.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: The wicked borrow and do not repay, But the righteous
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: give generously. Those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: but those he curses will be destroyed. The Lord makes
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: firm the steps of the one who delights in him.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Though he may stumble, he will not form, for the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Lord upholds him with his hand. I was young, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: now I am old. Yet I have never seen the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are always
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: generous and lend freely. Their children will be a blessing.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Turn from evil and do good. Then you will dwell
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: in the land for ever. For the Lord loves the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: just and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrong doers
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: will be completely destroyed. The offspring of the wicked will perish.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: for ever the mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: their tongues speak what is just. The law of their
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: God is in their hearts their feet.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Do not slip.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: putting them to death. But the Lord will not leave
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: them in the power of the wicked, or or let
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: them be condemned when brought to trial, Hope in the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Lord and keep his way. He will exalt you to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: inherit the land. When the wicked are destroyed, you will
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: see it. I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: flourishing like a luxuriant native tree. But he soon passed
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: away and was no more. Though I looked for him,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: he could not be found. Consider the blameless, observe the upright.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: A future awaits those who seek peace, But all sinners
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: will be destroyed. There will be no future for the wicked.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord. He
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is their stronghold. In time of trouble. The Lord helps
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: them and delivers them. He delivers them from the wicked
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and saves them because they take refuge in him. Book one,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Psalm one blessed is the one who does not walk
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in step with a wicked, or stand in the way
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that sinners take, or sit in the company of mockers,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and who meditates on his law day and night. That
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: not wither. Whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: in the assembly.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Of the righteous.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. The
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Of whom
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: shall I be afraid when the wicked advance against me
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to devour me. It is my enemies and my foes
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: who will stumble and fall. Though an army beseech me.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: My heart will not fear the war break out against me.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Even then I will be confident. One thing I ask
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: from the Lord. This only do I seek, that I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: may dwell in the house of the Lord, all the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord, and to seek him in his temple. For
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: in the day of trouble, he will keep me safe
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: in his dwelling. He will hide me in the shelter
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of his sacred tent and set.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Me high upon a rock.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: surround me. At his sacred tent. I will sacrifice with
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Hear my voice when I call, Lord, be
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Seek his face, your face, Lord, I will seek. Do
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: not hide your face from me. Do not turn your
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: servant away in anger. You have been my helper. Do
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: not reject me or forsake me. God is my savior.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: receive me. Teach me your way. Lord, lead me in
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a straight path. Because of my oppressors. Do not turn
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: me over to the desire of my first for false
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: confident of this. I will see the goodness of the
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Lord in the land of the Living. Wait for the Lord.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: know when I sit and when I rise. You perceive
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: my lying down. You are familiar with all my ways.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Before a word is on my tongue, you Lord know
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: from your presence? If I go up to the heavens,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: you are there. If I make my bed in the depths,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you are there. If I rise on the wings of
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the dawn, if I settle on the far side of
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the sea, even there, your hand will guide me. Your
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: right hand will hold me fast. If I say, surely,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: the darkness will hide me, and the light become night
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: The night will shine like the day, For darkness is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: as light to you. For you created my inmost being.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: are wonderful. I know that full well. My frame was
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: not hidden from you when I was made in the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: secret place, When I was woven together in the depths
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the days ordained for me were written in your book
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: before one of them came to be. How precious to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: me are your thoughts? God, How vast is the sum
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: of them. Were I to count them, they would outnumber
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: with you. If only you, God, would slay the wicked
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: away from me, You who are bloodthirsty. They speak of
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: you with evil intent. Your adversaries misuse your name. Do
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I not hate those who hate you, Lord? And abhor
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: those who are in rebellion against you? I have nothing
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: but hatred for them. I come than my enemies. Search me,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: God and know my heart. Test me and know my
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: and lead me in the way everlasting. The heavens declare
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the glory of God. The skies proclaim the work of
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: his hands. Day after day. They pour forth speech night
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: after night. They reveal knowledge, They have no speech, They
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: use no words.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: No sound is.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the earth, their words to the ends.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Of the world.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: In the heavens, God has pitched a tent for the sun.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: to the other. Nothing is deprived of its warmth. The
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: enduring for ever. The decrees of the Lord are firm,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and all of them are righteous. They are more precious
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: than gold, than much pure gold. They are sweeter than honey,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: than honey from the honeycomb. By them, your servant is warned.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: In keeping them there is great reward. But who can
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: discern their own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: and also from wilful sins, may they not rule over me.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Then I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression. May
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: these words of my mouth and this meditation of my
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my rock and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: my redeemer. In you, Lord, I have taken refuge. Let
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: me never be put to shame. Deliver me and your righteousness.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Turn your ear to me. Come quickly to my rescue.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Since you are my rock and my fortress. For the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: sake of your name, lead and guide me. Keep me
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: free from the tramp that is set for me. For
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you are my refuge. Into your hands. I commit my spirit.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Deliver me, Lord, my faithful God. I hate those who
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: cling to worthless idols. As for me, I trust in
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I will be glad and rejoice in your love.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: For you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: my soul. You have not given me into the hands
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of the enemy, but have set my feet.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: In a spacious place.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: My eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: with grief. My life is consumed by anguish, and my
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: years by groaning. My strength fails because of my affliction,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: and my bones grow weak because of all my enemies.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I am the utter contempt of my neighbors, and an
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: object of dread to my closest friends. Those who see
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: me on the street flee from me. I am forgotten,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: as though I were dead. I have become like broken pottery.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: For I hear many whispering terror on every side. They
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: conspire against me and plot to take my life. But
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I trust in you, Lord, I say you are my God.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: My times are in your hands. Deliver me from the
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me. Let
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: your face shine on your servant, Save me in your
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: unfailing love. Let me not be put to shame, Lord,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: for I have cried out to you. But let the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: wicked be put to shame and be silent in the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: realm of the dead. Let their lying lips be silenced,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: How abundant are the good things that you have stored
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: up for those who fear you, that you bestow in
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the sight of all on those who take refuge in you,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: in the shelter of your presence, you hide them from
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: all human intrigues. You keep them safe in your dwelling
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: from accusing tongues. Praise be to the Lord, for he
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: showed me the wonders of his love. When I was
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: in a city under siege. In my alarm, I said,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I am cut off from your sight. Yet you heard
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: my cry for mercy when I called to you for help.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Love the Lord, all his faithful people. The Lord preserves
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: those who are true to him, but the proud he
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: pays back in full. Be strong and take heart, all
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you who in the Lord. Surely God is good to Israel,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: to those who are pure in heart. But as for me,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: my feet had almost slipped. I had nearly lost my foothold.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: of the wicked. They have no struggles. Their bodies are
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: healthy and strong. They're free from common human burdens. They're
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: not plagued by human ills. Therefore, pride is their necklace.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: They clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Their evil imaginations have no limits. They scoff and speak
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: with malice, with arrogance. They threaten oppression. Their mouths lay
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: in a b londance, They say, how would God know?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Does the most high know anything? This is what the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: wicked alike. Always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Surely in vain, I have kept my heart pure and
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: have washed my hands in innocence. All day long, I
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: have been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments. If
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: your children. When I tried to understand all this, it
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: troubled me deeply till I entered the sanctuary of God.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Then I understood their final destiny. Surely you place them
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: on slippery ground, you cast them down to ruin. How
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: suddenly are they destroyed? Completely swept away by terrors? They
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: are like a dream when one awakes. When you arise, Lord,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you will despise them as phantasies. When my heart was
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I was a brute beast before you. Yet I am
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: always with you. You hold me by my right hand,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: you guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven? That
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: you and earth has nothing I desire besides you. My
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: strength of my heart and my portion. For ever, those
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: who are far from you will perish. You destroy all
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, it
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: is good to be near God. I have made the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: sovereign Lord my refuge. I will tell of all your deeds.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: You are God, my stronghold. Why have you rejected me?
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Why must I go about mourning oppressed by the enemy.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Send me your light and your faithful care. Let them
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: lead me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: to the place where you dwell. Then I will go
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: to the altar of God, to God, my joy and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: my delight. I will praise you with the liar, O God,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: my God, Why my soul are you downcast? Why so
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. Listen
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to my world's Lord, consider my lament. Hear my cry
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: for help, my king and my God. For to you
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I pray in the morning, Lord, you hear my voice.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: In the morning. I lay my requests before you and
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: wait expectantly. For you are not a god who is
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: pleased with wickedness. With you, evil people are not welcome.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies. The
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: bloodthirsty and deceitful, you Lord detest. But I, by your
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: great love, can come into your house in reverence. I
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: bow down toward your holy temple. Lead me, Lord in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: your righteousness, because of my enemies, Make your way straight
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: before me. Not a word from their mouth can be trusted.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: There heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: open grave. With their tongues they tell lies. Declare them guilty,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: O God, Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: But let all who take refuge in you be glad.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, Lord,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: you bless the righteous. You surround them with your favor
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: as with a shield. Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I am faithful to you. Save your servant who trusts
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: in you. You are my God. Have mercy on me, Lord,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: for I call to you all day long. Bring joy
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: You Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: all who call to you. Hear my prayer. Lord, listen
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I call to you because you answer me. Among the gods,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: there is none like you, Lord. No deeds can compare
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: with yours. All the nations you have made will come
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and worship before you.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: They will bring glory to your name, for you are
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: great and do marvelous deeds. You alone are God. Teach
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Give me an undified heart that I may fear your name.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: I will praise you, Lord, my God, with all my heart.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I will glorify your name for ever, For great is
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: your love toward me. You have delivered me from the depths,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: from the realm of the dead. Arrogant foes are attacking me.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: O God, ruthless people are trying to kill me. They
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: have no regard for you. But you, Lord, are.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: A compassionate and gracious.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: to me and have mercy on me. Show your strength
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: on behalf of your servant. Save me because I serve you,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: just as my mother did. Give me a sign of
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: put to shame. For you, Lord helped me and comforted me.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: slimy pit, out of the mud and mire. He set
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: my feet on a rock and gave me a firm
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and fear the Lord and put their trust in him.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: does not look to the proud to those who turn
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: aside to false gods. Many, Lord, my God, are the
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: wonders you have done the things you planned for us.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: None can compare with you. Were I to speak and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: tell of your deeds, they would be too many to
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: declare sacrifice and offering you did not desire. But my ears,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you have opened burnt offerings and sin offerings you did
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: not require. Then I said, here I am, I have come.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: It is written about me in the scroll. I desire
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to do your will, My God, Your law is within
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: my heart. I proclaim your saving acts in the Great Assembly.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I do not seal my lips. Lord, as you know,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: I do not hide your righteousness in my heart. I
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: speak of your faithfulness and your saving help. I do
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: not conceal your love and your faithfulness from the Great Assembly.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Do not withhold your mercy from me.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: May your love and faithfulness always protect me. For troubles
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: without numbers around me. My sins have overtaken me, and
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: my head, and my heart fails within me. Be pleased
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to save me. Lord, Come quickly, Lord to help me.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: May all who want to take my life be put
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to shame and confusion. May all who desire my ruin
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: be turned back in disgrace. May those who say to
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: me aha ah be appalled at their own shame. But
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: May those who long for your saving help. Always say
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: the Lord is great. But as for me, I am
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: poor and needy. May the Lord think of me. You
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: are my help and my deliverer. You are my God.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Do not delay.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Lord my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: and my deliverer. My God is my rock in whom
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: my stronghold.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: I called to.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: The Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: been saved from my enemies. The cords of death entangled me,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: The torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. The cords of the
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: grave coiled around me. The snares of death confronted me.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: In my distress, I called to the Lord. I cried
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: to my God for help. From his temple, he heard
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: my voice. My cry came before him into his ears.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: The earth trembled and quaked, and the foundations of the
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: mountains shook. They trembled because he was angry. Smoke rose
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: from his nostrils, consuming fire came from his mouth. Burning
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: coals blazed out of it. He parted the heavens and
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: came down. Dark clouds were under his feet. He mounted
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the Cherubim and flew. He soared on the wings of
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the wind. He made darknesses covering his canopy around him,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: the dark rain clouds of the sky. Out of the
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: brightness of his presence. Clouds advanced with hailstones and bolts
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: of lightning. The Lord thundered from heaven. The voice of
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the most High resounded. He shot his arrows and scattered
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the enemy with great bolts of lightning. He routed them.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: The valleys of the sea were exposed, and the foundations
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: of the earth laid bare. At your rebuke, Lord, at
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the blast of breath from your nostrils, He reached down
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: from on high and took hold of me. He drew
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: powerful enemy, from my foes who were too strong for me.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: They confronted me in the day of my disaster. But
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: the Lord was my support. He brought me out into
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: a spacious place. He rescued me because he delighted in me.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: The Lord has dealt with me according to my righteousness,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: according to the cleanness of my hands. He has rewarded
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: me for I have kept the ways of the Lord.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I am not guilty of turning from my God all
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: his laws are before me. I have not turned away
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: from his decrees. I have been blameless before him, and
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: have kept myself from sin. The Lord has rewarded me
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: hands in his sight. To the faithful, you show yourself faithful.
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: To the blameless, you show yourself blameless. To the pure,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: you show yourself pure. But to the devious, you show
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: yourself shrewd. You save the humbold, but bring low those
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: whose eyes are haughty. You Lord, keep my lamp burning.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: My God turns my darkness into light. With your help,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: I can advance against a troop. With my God, I
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: can scale a war. As for God, his way is perfect.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: The Lord's word is flawless. He shields all who take
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: refuge in him. For who is God besides aids the Lord?
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: And who is the rock except our God. It is
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: He makes my feet like the feet of a deer.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: He causes me to stand on the heights. He trains
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: my hands for battle. My arms can bend a bow
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of bronze. You make your saving help my shield, and
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: your right hand sustains me. Your help has made me. Great,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: you provide a broad path for my feet, so that
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: my ankles do not give way. I pursued my enemies
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: and overtook them. I did not turn back till they
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: were destroyed. I crushed them so that they could not rise.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: They fell beneath my feet. You armed me with strength
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: for battle. You humbled my adversaries before me. You made
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroy
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: my foes. They cried for help, but there was no
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: one to save them to the Lord, but he did
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: not answer. I beat them as fine as wind blown dust.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I trampled them like mud in the streets. You have
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: delivered me from the attacks of the people. You have
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: made me the head of nations. People I did not
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: know now serve me. Foreigners cower before me. As soon
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: as they hear of me. They obey me. They all
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: lose heart. They come trembling from their strongholds. The Lord lives.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Praise be to my rock, Exalted be God, my savior.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: He is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: under me, who saves me from my enemies. You exalted
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: me above my foes from a violent man. You rescued
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: me Therefore I will praise you Lord, among the nations.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I will sing the praises of your name. He gives
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: his king great victories. He shows unfailing love to his anointed,
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: to David, and to his descendants. Forever keep me safe,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: my God, for in you I take refuge. I say
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: to the Lord, you are my Lord. Apart from you,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I have no good thing. I say of the holy
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: people who are in the land. They are the noble
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: ones in whom is all my delight. Those who run
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: after other gods will suffer more and more. I will
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: not pour out libations of blood to such gods, or
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: take up their names on my lips. Lord, you alone
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: are my portion and my cup. You make my lot secure.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Lord who counsels me. Even at night. My heart instructs me.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices. My body
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: also will rest secure because you will not abandon me
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: to the realm of the dead, nor will you let
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: your faithful one see decay. You make known to me
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: the path of life. You will fill me with joy
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: in your presence, with eternal pleasures. At your right hand,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise. In
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the city of our God, his holy mountain, beautiful in
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: heights of Zavon, is Mount Zion, the city of the
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Great King. God is in her citadels. He has shown
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: himself to be her fortress. When the kings joined forces,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: when they advanced together, they saw her and were astounded.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: They fled in terror. Trembling seized them. There pain like
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: that of a woman in labor. You destroyed them like
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: ships of Tarshish, shattered by an east wind. As we
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: have heard, so we have seen in the city of
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: the Lord Almighty, in the city of our God. God
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: makes her secure forever within your temple, O God, we
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: meditate on your unfailing love. Like your name, O God,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: right hand is filled with righteousness. Mount Zion rejoices. The
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments. Walk
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: about Zion, go around her counter towers. Consider well her ramparts,
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: view her citadels, that you may tell of them to
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the next generation. For this God is our God, forever
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and ever. He will be our guide, even to the end.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord. I will extol the Lord with all
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: my heart in the Council of the Upright and in
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: the Assembly. Great are the works of the Lord. They
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: are pondered by all who delight in them. Glorious and
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever. He
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: has caused his wonders to be remembered. The Lord is
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: gracious and passionate. He provides food for those who fear him.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: He remembers his covenant forever. He has shown his people
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: the power of his works, giving them the lands of
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: other nations. The works of his hands are faithful and just.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: All his precepts are trustworthy. They are established forever and ever,
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: enacted in faithfulness and uprightness. He provided redemption for his people.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: He ordained his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: All who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: belongs eternal praise. Hear my cry, O, God, listen to
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: my prayer. From the ends of the earth. I call
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: to you. I call as my heart faint. Lead me
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: to the rock that is higher than I For you
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: I long to dwell in your tent forever and take
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: of those who fear your name. Increase the days of
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: the king's life, his years for many generations. May he
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your love and
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: faithfulness to protect him. Then I will ever sing in
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: praise of your name and fulfill my vows, day after day,
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Book five, Psalm one hundred and seven. Give thanks to
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story. Those
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: he redeemed from the hand of the foe. Those he
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: gathered from the lands from east and west, from north
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: and south. Some wandered in desert waste lands, finding no
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: way to a city where they could settle. They were
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: hungry and thirsty, and their lives ebbed away. Then they
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and he
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: delivered them from their distress. He led them by a
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: straight way to a city where they could settle. Let
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: and his wonderful deeds for mankind. For he satisfies the
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. Some sat
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: in darkness, in utter darkness, prisoners, suffering in iron chains,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: because they rebelled against God's commands and despised the plans
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: of the Most. So he subjected them to bitter labor.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: They stumbled, and there was no one to help. Then
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: the utter darkness, and broke away their chains. Let them
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: his wonderful deeds for mankind. For he breaks down gates
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: of bronze and cuts through bars of iron. Some became
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: fools through their rebellious ways, and suffered affliction because of
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: their iniquities. They loathed all food and drew near the
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: gates of death. Then they cried to the Lord in
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: sent out his word and healed them. He rescued them
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: from the grave. Let them give thanks to the Lord
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: for his unfailing love and his wife wonderful deeds for mankind.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Let them sacrifice thank offerings and tell of his works
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: with songs of joy. Some went out on the sea
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: and ships. They were merchants on the mighty waters. They
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: saw the works of the Lord his wonderful deeds in
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the deep. For he spoke and stirred up a tempest
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: that lifted high the waves. They mounted up to the
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: heavens and went down to the depths. In their peril,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: their courage melted away. They reeled and staggered like drunkards.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: They were at their wits end. Then they cried out
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: to their Lord in their trouble, and he brought them
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: out of their distress. He stilled the storm to a whisper.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: The waves of the sea were hushed. They were glad
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: when it grew calm, and he guided them to their
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: desired haven. Let them give thanks to the Lord for
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. Let
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: them exalt him in the assembly of the people, and
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: praise him in the council.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Of the elders.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: He turned rivers into a desert, flowing springs into thirsty ground,
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: and fruitful land into a salt waste because of the
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: wickedness of those who lived there. He turned the desert
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: into pools of water, and the parched ground into flowing springs.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: There he brought the hungry to live, and they founded
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: a city where they could settle. They sowed fields and
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest. He blessed them,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: and their numbers greatly increased, and he did not let
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: their herds diminish. Then their numbers decreased, and they were
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: humbled by oppression, calamity, and sorrow. He who pours contempt
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: on nobles made them wander in a trackless waste. But
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: he lifted the needy out of their affliction and increased
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: their families like flocks. The upright see and rejoice, but
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: all the wicked shut their mouths. Let the one who
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: of the Lord. My people, hear my teaching, listen to
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: with the parable I will utter hidden things things from
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: of old things we have heard and known things our
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: ancestors have taught us. We will not hide them from
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: their descendants. We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: deeds of the Lord his power, and the wonders he
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: has done. He decreed statutes for Jacob and established the
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: their children, so the next generation would know them, even
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: the children yet to be borne, and they, in turn
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: would tell their children. Then they would put their trust
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: in God and would not forget his deeds, but would
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: keep his commands. They would not be like their ancestors,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him. The
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: the day of battle. They did not keep God's covenant
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: and refused to live by his law. They forgot what
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: he had done, the wonders he had shown them. He
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: did miracles in the sight of their ancestors in the
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: land of Egypt, in the region of Zoan, he divided
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: the sea and led them through he made the water
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: stand up like a wall. He guided them with the
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: cloud by day, and with light from the fire all night.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: water as abundant as the seas. He brought streams out
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: wilderness against the most high. They wilfully put God to
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: the test by demanding the food they craved. They spoke
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: against God. They said, can God really spread a table
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness. True, he struck the rock, and water
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: gushed out, streams flowed abundantly, But can he also give
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: us bread? Can he supply meat for his people? When
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: the Lord heard them, he was furious. His fire broke
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel, for
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Yet he gave a command to the skies above and
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: opened the doors of the heavens. He rained down manner
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: for the people to eat. He gave them the grain
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: of heaven, human beings at the bread of angels. He
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: sent them all the food they could eat. He let
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: loose the east wind from the heavens, and by his
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: power made the south wind blow. He rained meat down
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: on them like dust birds, like sand on the sea shore.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: He made them come down inside their camp, all around
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: their tents. They ate till they were gorged. He had
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: given them what they craved, but before they turned from
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: what they craved, even while the food was still in
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: their mouths, God's anger rose against them. He put to
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: of Israel. In spite of all this, they kept on sinning.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: In spite of his wonders, they did not believe. So
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: he ended their days in futility and their years in terror.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Whenever God slew them, they would seek him. They eagerly
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: turned to him again. They remembered that God was their rock,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: that God most High was their redeemer. But then they
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: their tongues. Their hearts were not loyal to him, they
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: were not faithful to his covenant. Yet He was merciful.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: He forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: after time, he restrained his anger and did not stir
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: up his full wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: a passing breeze that does not return. How often they
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: the waste land. Again and again they put God to
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: the test. They vexed the Holy One of Israel. They
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: did not remember his power the day he redeemed them
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: from the oppressor, the day he displayed his signs in Egypt,
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: his wonders. In the region of Zoan, he turned their
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: river into blood. They could not drink from their streams.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: that devastated them. He gave their crops to the grasshopper,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: their produce to the locust. He destroyed their vines with hail,
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: and their sycamore figs with sleet. He gave over their
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: cattle to the hail, their live stock to bolts of lightning.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: And hostility.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: A band of destroying angels, he prepared a path for
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: his anger. He did not spare them from death, but
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: gave them over to the plague. He struck down all
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: the first born of Egypt, the first fruits of manhood
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: in the tents of Ham. But he brought his people
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: out like a flock. He led them like sheep through
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: the wilderness. He guided them.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: Safely, so they were unafraid.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: But the sea engulfed their enemies, and so he brought
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: them to the border of his holy land, to the
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: hill country his right hand had taken.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: He drove out nations.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Before them and allotted their lands to them as an inheritance.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: He settled the tribes of Israel in their homes. But
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: they put God to the test and rebelled against the
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: most High. They did not keep his statutes like their ancestors.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: They were disloyal and faithless, as unreliable as a faulty bow.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: They angered him with their high places. They aroused his
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: jealousy with their idols. When God heard them, he was furious.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: He rejected Israel completely. He abandoned the Tabernacle of Shiloh,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: the tent he had set up among humans. He sent
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: the hands of the enemy.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: He gave his people over.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: To the sword. He was furious with his inheritance. Fire
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: consumed their young men, and their young women had no
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: wedding songs. Their priests were put to the sword, and
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: their widows could not weep. Then the Lord awoke, as
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: from sleep as a warrior wakes from the stupor of wine.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: He beat back his enemies. He put them to everlasting shame.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Then he rejected the tents of Joseph. He did not
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: choose the tribe of Ephraim, but he chose the tribe
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: of Judah Mount Zion, which he loved. He built his
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: sanctuary like the heights, like the earth, that he established forever.
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: He chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds,
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: from tending the sheep. He brought him to be the
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: shepherd of his people. Jacob of Israel his inheritance, and
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: David shepherded them with integrity of heart, with skillful hands.
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: He let them, I lift up my eyes to the mountains.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: Where does my help come from. My help comes from
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. He will
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: not let your foot slip. He who watches over you
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel will
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you. The
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: The Lord will keep you from all harm. He will
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: watch over your life. The Lord will watch over your
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: coming and going, both now and for evermore. I will
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: extol the Lord at all times. His praise will always
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Let the afflicted here and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me.
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: Let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: and he answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Those who look to him are radiant. Their faces are
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Lord heard him. He saved him of all his troubles.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: and he delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Fear the Lord, you his holy people. For those who
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: my children, listen to me. I will teach you the
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: desires to see many good days. Keep your tongue from
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: are attentive to their cry. But the face of the
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: orders against those who do evil, to blot out their
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and the
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Lord hears them. He delivers them from all their troubles.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: He protects all his bones. Not one of them will
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: be broken. Evil will slay the wicked. The foes of
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: I cried out to God for help. I cried out to.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: God to hear me when I was in distress. I
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: sought the Lord at night. I stretched out untiring hands,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: and I would not be comfort. I remembered you, God,
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: and I groaned. I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: You kept my eyes from closing. I was too troubled
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: to speak. I thought about the former days, the years
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: of long ago. I remembered my songs.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: In the night.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: My heart meditated, and my spirit asked, will the Lord
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? Has
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: his unfailing love vanished?
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: For ever?
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: Has his promise failed? For all time? Has God forgotten
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: to be merciful? Has he, in anger withheld his compassion?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Then I thought to this, I will appeal the years
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: when the Most High stretched out his right hand. I
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: will remember the deeds of the Lord. Yes, I will
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: remember your mirrors of long ago. I will consider all
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds. Your ways,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: God are holy, but God is as great as our God.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: You are the God who performs miracles. You display your
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: power among the peoples with your mighty arm. You redeemed
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. The waters
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: saw you, God, The waters saw you and writhed. The
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: very depths were convulsed, The clouds poured down water. The
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: heavens resounded with thunder. Your arrows flashed back and forth.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind. Your lightning lit
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: up the world. The earth trembled and quaked, your path
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Though your footprints were not seen. You led your people
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Lord,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations, before
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: the mountains were born. Or you brought forth the whole
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: world from everlasting to everlasting. You, our God, you turn
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: people back to dust, saying, return to dust, you mortals
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: a thousand years in your sight are like a day
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: that has just gone by, or like a watch in
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: the night. Yet you sweep people away in the sleep
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: of death. They are like the new grass of the morning.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: In the morning it springs up new, but by evening
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: it is dry and withered. We are consumed by your
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: anger and terrified by your indignation. You have set our
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: iniquities before you, our secret sins. In the l light
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: of your presence. All our days pass away under your wrath.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: We finish our years with a moan. Our days may
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: come to seventy years or eighty if our strength endures.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: Yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: for they quickly pass and we fly away. If only
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: we knew the power of your anger, your wrath is
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: as great as the fear that is your due. Teach
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: us to number our days, that we may gain a
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: heart of wisdom. Relent, Lord, how long will it be?
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: Have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in the morning
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: and be glad all our days. Make us glad for
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: as many days as you have afflicted us, for as
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: many years as we have seen trouble. May your deeds
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: May the favor of the Lord, our God rest on us.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Establish the work of our hands. For us, yes, establish
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: the work of our hands. Sing joyfully to the Lord,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: you Righteous. It is fitting for the upright to praise him.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord with the harp, make music to him
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: on the ten stringed liar, Sing to him a new song,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: playskillfully and shout for joy. For the word of the
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: Lord is right and true. He is faithful in all
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: The earth is.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: Full of his unfailing love. By the word of the Lord,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: the heavens were made their starry host. By the breath
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: into jars. He puts the deep into storehouses. Let all
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: the earth fear the Lord. Let all the people of
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: the world revere him. For he spoke, and it came
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: to be. He commanded, and it stood firm. The Lord
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: foils the plans of the nations. He thwarts the purposes
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: people he chose for his inheritance.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: From heaven.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: The Lord looks down and sees all mankind from his
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: dwelling place. He watches all who live on earth, He
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: No king is saved by the size of his army,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: no warrior escapes by his great strength. Is a vain
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: hope for deliverance. Despite all its great strength, it cannot save.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: But the eyes of the Lord are on those who
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: We wait in hope for the Lord. He is our
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: help and our shield. In him, our hearts rejoice, for
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: in You, Praise the Lord. Blessed are those who fear
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. Their
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: children will be mighty in the land. The generation of
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: the Upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches are in
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: their houses, and their righteousness into us forever. Even in darkness,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: life dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: and compassionate and righteous. Good will come to those who
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: are generous and lend freely, who conduct their affairs with justice. Surely,
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: the righteous will never be shaken. They will be remembered
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: for ever. They will have no fear of bad news.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: Their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Their hearts
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: are secure. They will have no fear.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: In the end.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: They will look in triumph on their foes. They have
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: freely scattered their gifts to the poor. Their righteousness endures forever.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: Their horn will be lifted high in honor. The wicked
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: will see and be vexed. They will gnash their teeth
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: and waste away. The longings of the wicked will come
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: to nothing. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: High will in the shadow of the Almighty. I will
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: my God in whom I trust. Surely he will save
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: you from the fowl's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: He will cover you with his feathers, and under his
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness will be your
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: shield and rempart. You will not fear the terror of
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: come near you. You will only observe with your eyes
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: the Lord is my refuge, and you make the Most
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: High your dwelling, no harm and will overtake you. No
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: disaster will come near your tent. For He will command
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: They will lift you up in their hands, so that
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: you will not strike your foot against a stone. You
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: will tread on the lion and the cobra. You will
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: trample the great lion and the serpent. Because he loves me,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: says the Lord. I will rescue him. I will protect him,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me,
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: and I will answer him. I will be with him
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him with
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: long life. I will satisfy him and show him my selfation.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: which cannot be shaken, but endures forever. As the mountains
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, both now
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: and forever more. The scepter of the wicked will not
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: remain over the land allotted to the righteous, for then
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: the righteous might use their hands to do evil. Lord
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: do good to those who are good, to those who
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: are upright in heart. But those who turn to crooked ways,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: the Lord will banish with the evil doers. Peace be
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: on Israel. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed are
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: those who keep his statutes and seek him with all
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: their heart. They do no wrong, but follow his ways.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: Oh that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: then I would not be put to shame. When I
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: consider all your commands, I will praise you with an
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: upright heart. As I learn your righteous laws. I will
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: obey your decrees. Do not utterly forsake me. How can
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: a young person stay on the path of purity by
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: living according to your word? I seek you with all
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: my heart. Do not let me stray from your commands.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: I have hidden your word in my heart that I
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: might not sin against you. Praise be to you Lord.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: Teach me your decrees with my lips. I recount all
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: in your decrees. I will not neglect your word. Be
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: good to your servant while I live that I may
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: obey your word. Open my eyes that I may see
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: wonderful things.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: In your law.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: I am a stranger on earth. Do not hide your
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: commands from me. My soul is consumed with longing for
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: your laws. At all times. You rebuke the arrogant who
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: are accursed those who stray from your commands. Remove from
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: me their scorn and contempt. For I keep your statutes.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Though rulers sit together and slander me, your servant will
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: meditate on your decrees. Your statutes are my delight. They
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: are my counselors. I am laid low in the dust.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: Preserve my life according to your word. I gave an
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: account of my ways, and you answered me. Teach me
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: your decrees. Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds. My soul
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: is weary with sorrow. Strengthen me according to your word.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: Keep me from deceitful ways. Be gracious to me, and teach.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: Me your law.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: I have chosen the way of faithfulness. I have set
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: my heart on your laws. I hold fast to your statutes. Lord,
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: do not let me be put to shame. I run
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: in the path of your commands, for you have broadened
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: my understanding. Teach me, Lord, the way of your degrees,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: that I may follow it to the end. Give me
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: understanding so that I may keep your law and obey
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: it with all my heart. Direct me in the path
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: of your commands, for there I find delight.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: Turn my heart.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: Toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: eyes away from worthless things. Deserve my life according to
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: your word. Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: you may be feared. Take away the disgrace I dread,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: For your laws are good. How I long for your precepts.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: In your righteousness, preserve my life. May your unfailing love
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: come to me, Lord, your salvation. According to your promise.
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: Then I can answer any one who taunts me, for
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: I trust in your word. Never take your word of
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 1: truth from my mouth. For I have put my hope
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: in your laws. I will always obey your law.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: For ever and ever.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: out your precepts. I will speak of your statutes before kings,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: and will not be put to shame. For I delight
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: in your commands because.
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 2: I love them.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: I reach out for your commands, which I love, that
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: I may meditate on your decrees. Remember your word to
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: your servant, for you have given me hope my comfort
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: in my suffering. Is this your promise preserves my life.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: The arrogant mock me unmercifully. But I do not turn
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: from your law. I remember, Lord, your ancient laws, and
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: I find comfort in them. Indignation grips me because of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: the wicked who have forsaken your law. Your decrees are
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: a theme of my song. Wherever I lodge in the knight, Lord,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: I remember your name that I may keep your law.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: This has been my practice. I obey your precepts. You
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: are my portion.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: I have promised to obey your words. I have sought
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: your face with all my heart. Be gracious to me.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: According to your promise. I havesidered my ways and have
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: turned my steps to your statutes. I will hasten and
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: not delay to obey your commands. Though the wicked bind
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: me with ropes, I will not forget your law. At
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: midnight I rise to give you thanks for your righteous laws.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: I am a friend to all who fear you, to
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: all who follow your precepts.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: The earth is filled with your love. Lord.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: Teach me your decrees. Do good to your servant according
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: to your word. Lord, teach me knowledge and good judgment.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: For I trust your commands. Before I was afflicted, I
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: went astray. But now I obey your word. You are good,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: and what you do is good. Teach me your decrees.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: your precepts with all my heart. There hearts are callous
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: and unfeeling, that I delight in your law. It was
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: good for me to be afflicted so that I might
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: learn your decrees. The law from your mouth is more
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: to learn your commands. May those who fear you rejoice
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: when they see me, for I have put my hope
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: in your word. I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. May your
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: your servant, Let your compassion come to me that I
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: may live, for your law is my delight. May the
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause,
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: but I will meditate on your precepts. May those who
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: fear you turn to me those who understand your statutes.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees, that I may not
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: be put to shame. My soul faints with longing for
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: My eyes fail. Looking for your promise, I say, when
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: will you comfort me? Though I am like a wine
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: skin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: How long must your servant wait? When will you punish
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: my persecutors? The arrogant dig pits to track me contrary
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: to your law? All your commands are trustworthy. Help me,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: for I am being persecuted without cause. They almost wipe
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 1: to me from the earth. But I have not forsaken
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: your precepts. In your unfailing love, preserve my life that
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: I may obey the statutes of your mouth. Your word,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: Lord is eternal, It stands firm in the heavens. Your
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: faithfulness continues through all generations. You establish the earth, and
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: it endures. Your laws endure to this day. For all
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: things serve you. If your law had not been my delight,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: I would have perished in my affliction. I will never
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved my life.
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: Save me, for I am yours. I have sought out
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: your precepts the wicked awaiting to destroy me. But I
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: will ponder your statutes to all perfection. I see a limit,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: But your commands are boundless. Oh, how I love your law.
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: I meditate on it all day long. Your commands are
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: always with me, and make me wiser than my enemies.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: I have more insight than all my teachers, for I
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: meditate on your statutes. I have more understanding than the elders.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: For I obey your precepts. I have kept my feet
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: from every evil path so that I might obey your word.
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 1: taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: sweeter than honey to my mouth. I gain understanding from
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: your precepts. Therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: I have taken an oath and confirmed it that I
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: will follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much. Preserve
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: my life, Lord, according to your word. Accept Lord, the
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: will not forget your law. The wicked have set a
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: snare for me, But I have not strayed from your precepts.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: Your statutes are my heritage. For ever they are the
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: your decrees to the very end. I hate double minded people,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: but I love your law. You are my refuge and
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: my shield. I have put my hope in your word.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: Away from me, you evil doers, that I may keep
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: the commands of my God. Sustain me my God according
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: to your promise, and I will live. Do not let
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: my hopes be dashed. Uphold me, and I will be delivered.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: I will always have regard for your decrees. You reject
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: all who stray from your decrees, for their delusions come
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 1: to nothing. All the wicked of the earth you discard
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: like dross. Therefore I love your statutes. My flesh trembles
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: in fear of you. I stand in awe of your laws.
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: I have done what is righteous and just. Do not
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: leave me to my oppressors. Ensure your servants well being.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: Do not let the arrogant oppress me. My eyes fail
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise. Deal
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: with your servant according to your love, and teach me
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: your decrees. I am your servant. Give me discernment that
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: I may understand your statutes. It is time for you
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: to act Lord. Your law is being broken because I
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: And because I consider all your precepts right, I hate
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: every wrong path. Your statutes are wonderful. Therefore I obey them.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: The unfolding of your words gives light. It gives understanding
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: to the simple. I open my mouth and pant, longing
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: for your commands. Turn to me, and have mercy on me,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: as you always do to those who love your name.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: Direct my footsteps according to your word. Let no sin
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: rule over me. Redeem me from human oppression, that I
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: may obey your precepts. Make your face shine on your
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: servant and teach me your decrees. Streams of tears flow
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: from my eyes, for your law is not obeyed. You
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: are righteous, Lord, and your laws are right. The statutes
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: you have laid down are righteous. They are fully trustworthy.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: My zeal wears me out, for my enemies ignore your words.
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: Though I am lowly and despised, I do not forget
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: your precepts. Your righteousness is everlasting, and your law is true.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: give me delight. Your statutes are always righteous. Give me
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: understanding that I may live. I call with all my heart.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 1: Answer me, Lord, and I will obey your decrees. I
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: call out to you save me, and I will keep
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 1: your statutes. I rise before dawn and cry for help.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: I have put my hope in your word. My eyes
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: stay open through the watches of the night, that I
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: may meditate on your promises. Hear my voice in accordance
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: with your love. Preserve my life, Lord, according to your laws.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: far from your law. Yet you are near, Lord, and
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: all your commands are true. Long ago I learned from
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: your statutes that you established them to last for ever.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: not forgotten your law. Defend my cause and redeem me.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: Preserve my life according to your promise. Salvation is far
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: Your compassion, Lord is great. Preserve my life according to
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: your laws. Many of the foes who persecute me, but
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: I have not turned from your statutes. I look on
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: See how I love your precepts. Preserve my life, Lord,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: in accordance with your love. All your words are true,
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: All your righteous laws are eternal. Rulers persecute me without cause,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: but my heart trembles at your word. I rejoice in
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: your promise like one who finds great spoil. I hate
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: and detest falsehood, but I love your law. Seven times
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: a day. I praise you for your righteous laws. Great peace.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: Have those who love your law, and nothing can make
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: them stumble. I wait for your salvation, Lord, and I
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: follow your commands. I obey your statutes, for I love
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: them greatly. I obey your precepts and your statutes, for
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: all my ways are known to you. May my cry
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 1: come before you, Lord, give me understanding according to your word.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: May my supplication come before you deliver me according to
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: your promise. May my lips overflow with praise for you
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: teach me your decrees. May my tongue sing of your word,
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: for all your commands are righteous. May your hand be
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: ready to help me, For I have chosen your precepts.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: I long for your salvation, Lord, and your law gives
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 1: me delight. Let me live that I may praise you,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: and may your laws sustain me. I have strayed like
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: a lost sheep, seek your servant, For I have not
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: forgotten your commands. In you, Lord, my God, I put
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: my trust. I trust in you. Do not let me
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: No one who hopes in you will ever be put
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: to shame, but shame will come on those who are
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: treacherous without cause. Show me your ways, Lord, teach me
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: your parts, Guide me in your truth, and teach me.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: For you, our God, my savior, and my hope is
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: in you all day long. Remember Lord, your great mercy
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: and love, for they are from of old. Do not
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: According to your love, remember me, for you, Lord are good, Good,
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 1: and upright is the Lord. Therefore he instructs sinners in
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: his ways. He guides the humble in what is right,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: and teaches them his way. All the ways of the
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: Lord are loving and faithful towards those who keep the
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: demands of His covenant. For the sake of your name, Lord,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: forgive my iniquity, though it is great. Who then are
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: those who fear the Lord. He will instruct them in
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: the ways they should choose. They will spend their days prosperity,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 1: and their descendants will inherit the land. The Lord confides
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 1: in those who fear him. He makes his covenant known
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: to them. My eyes are ever on the Lord, for
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: only he will release my feet from the snare. Turn
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 1: to me and be gracious to me, for I am
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: lonely and afflicted. Relieve the troubles of my heart and
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: free me from my anguish Look on my affliction and
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: my distress, and take away all my sins. See how
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: numerous are my enemies, and how fiercely they hate me.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 1: Guard my life and rescue me. Do not let me
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: be put to shame. For I take refuge in you.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 1: May integrity and uprightness. Protect me because my hope, Lord
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: is in you. Deliver Israel, O God, from all their troubles.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: are covered. Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: does not count against them, and whose spirit is no deceit.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: groaning all day long, for day and night, your hand
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: was heavy on me. My strength was sapped as in
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: the heat of summer. Then I acknowledged my sin to
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said,
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and you
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: forgave the guilt of my sin. Therefore, let all the
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: faithful pray to you while you may be found. Surely
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 1: the rising of the my tea waters will not reach them.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: You are my hiding place. You will protect me from
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. I will
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: instruct you and teach you in the way you should go.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: Do not be like the horse or the mule, which
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: have no understanding, but must be controlled by bit and bridle,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: or they will not come to you. Many are the
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: woes of the wicked, But the Lord's unfailing love surrounds
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: the one who trusts in him. Rejoice in the Lord,
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: and be glad you righteous, sing all you who are
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 1: upright in heart. Lord hear my prayer. Listen to my
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 1: cry for mercy. In your faithfulness and righteousness, Come to
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: my relief. Do not bring your servant into judgment, for
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 1: no one living is righteous before you. The enemy pursues me,
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: he crushes me to the ground. He makes me dwell
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: in the darkness like those long dead. So my spirit
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: grows faint within me. My heart within me is dismayed.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: I remember the days of long ago. I meditate on
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: all your works and consider what your hands have done.
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 1: I spread out my hands to you. I thirst for
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: you like a parched land. Answer me quickly, Lord, my
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: spirit fails. Do not hide your face from me, or
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 1: I will be like those who go down to the pit.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: For I have put my trust in you. Show me
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: the way I should go. For to you I intrust
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: my life. Rescue me from my enemy's Lord, for I
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: hide myself in you. Teach me to do your will,
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: for you are my God. May your good spirit lead
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: me on level ground. For your name's sake, Lord, preserve
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: my life in your righteousness. Bring me out of trouble
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: in your unfailing love. Silence my enemies, Destroy all my foes,
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 1: for I am your servant. Do not fret because of
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: those who are evil, or be envious of those who
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: do wrong, For like the grass, they will soon wither
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: like green plants, they will soon die away. Trust in
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord and do good, dwell in the land and
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: enjoy save pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 1: will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: way to the Lord. Trust in him, and he will
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: do this. He will make your righteous reward shine like
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Do not
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 1: out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: Do not fret.
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 1: It leads only to evil, for those who are evil
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 1: will be destroyed. But those who hope in the Lord
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: will inherit the land a little while, and the wicked
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: will be no more. Though you look for them, they
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: will not be found. But the meek will inherit the
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 1: land and enjoy peace and prosperity. The wicked plot against
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 1: the righteous and bash their teeth at them. But the
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend the
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: those whose ways are upright, But their swords will pierce
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: their own hearts, and their bows will be broken. Better
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 1: the little that the righteous have than the wealth of
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: many wicked, For the power of the wicked will be broken,
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: but the Lord upholds the righteous. The blameless spend their
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 1: days under the Lord's care, and their inheritance will endure forever.
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: In times of disaster, they will not wither. In days
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: of famine, they will enjoy plenty, but the wicked will perish.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: Though the Lord's enemies are like the flowers of the field,
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: they will be consumed. They will go up in smoke, borrow,
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: and do not repay. But the righteous give generously. Those
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 1: the Lord blesses will inherit the land, but those he
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: curses will be destroyed. The Lord makes firm the steps
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: of the one who delights in him. Though he may stumble,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 1: his hand. I was young, and now I am old.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: Yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: children begging bread. They are always generous and lend freely.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: Their children will be a blessing. Turn from evil and
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: do good. Then you will dwell in the land for ever.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 1: For the Lord loves the just and will not forsake
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: his faithful ones. Wrong Doers will be completely destroyed. The
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 1: offspring of the wicked will perish. The righteous will inherit
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: the land and dwell in it.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: For ever.
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and their tongues
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 1: speak what is just. The law of their God is
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: in their hearts their feet.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: Do not slip.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: putting them to death. But the Lord will not leave
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 1: them in the power of the wicked, or let them
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 1: be condemned when brought to trial. Hope in the Lord
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 1: and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: the land. When the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: a luxuriant native tree. But he soon passed away and
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: was no more. Though I looked for him, he could
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: not be found. Consider the blameless, observe the upright. A
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: future awaits those who seek peace. But all sinners will
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 1: be destroyed. There will be no future for the wicked.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord. He
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: is their stronghold. In time of trouble. The Lord helps
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: them and delivers them. He delivers them from the wicked
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 1: and saves them because they take refuge in him. Book
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: one Psalm one blessed is the one who does not
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 1: walk in step with a wicked, or stand in the
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: way that sinners take, or sit in the company of mockers,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: and who meditates on his law day and night. That
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 1: person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: not wither. Whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 1: They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore,
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 1: in the assembly of the righteous. For the Lord watches
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 1: over the way of the righteous, but the way of
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: the wicked leads to destruction. The Lord is my light
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 1: and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 1: the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: afraid when the wicked advance against me to devour me.
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 1: It is my enemies and my foes who will stumble
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: and fall. Though an army beseech me. My heart will
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: not fear the war break out against me. Even then
• 1:41:58
  Speaker 1: I will be confident. One thing I ask from the Lord.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: This only do I seek, that I may dwell in
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 1: the house of the Lord all the days of my life,
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 1: to gaze on the beauty of the Lord, and to
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble,
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: he will keep me safe in his dwelling. He will
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 1: hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: set me high upon a rock. Then my head will
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: be exalted above the enemies who surround me. At his
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: sacred tent. I will sacrifice with shouts of joy. I
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 1: will sing and make music to the Lord. Hear my
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: voice when I call, Lord, be merciful to me and
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: answer me. My heart says of you seek his faith,
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 1: your faith, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: You have been my helper. Do not reject me or
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: forsake me. God is my savior. Though my father and
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. Teach me
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: your way, Lord, lead me in a straight path. Because
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: of my oppressors. Do not turn me over to the
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: desire of my foes. For false witnesses rise up against me,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 1: spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this, I will
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: see the goodness of the Lord in the land of
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: the Living. Wait for the Lord. Be strong and take heart,
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: and wait for the Lord. You have searched me, Lord,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: and you know me. You know when I sit and
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: discern my going out and my lying down. You are
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 1: familiar with.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 2: All my ways.
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: Before a word is on my tongue, you Lord know
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 1: you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: from your presence? If I go up to the heavens,
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: you are there. If I make my bed in the depths,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: you are there. If I rise on the wings of
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: the dawn, if I settle on the far side of
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: the sea, even there, your hand will guide me. Your
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: right hand will hold me fast. If I say, surely,
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 1: the darkness will hide me, and the light become night
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 1: around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you.
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 1: The night will shine like the day. For darkness is
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: as light to you. For you created my inmost being.
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: are wonderful. I know that full well. My frame was
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: not hidden from you when I was made in the
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: secret place. When I was woven together in the depths
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 1: the days ordained for me were written in your book
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: before one of them came to be. How precious to
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: me are your thoughts? God, How vast is the sum
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: of them. Were I to count them, they would outnumber
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: with you. If only you, God, would slay the wicked
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: away from me, You who are bloodthirsty. They speak of
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: you with evil intent. Your adversaries misuse your name. Do
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: I not hate those who hate you, Lord? And abhor
• 1:46:19
  Speaker 1: those who are in rebellion against you. I have nothing
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: but hatred for them. I count them my enemies. Search me,
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 1: God and know my heart. Test me and know my
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me,
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 1: and lead me in the way everlasting. The heavens declare
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: the glory of God. The skies proclaim the work of
• 1:46:48
  Speaker 1: his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech. Night
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 1: use no word. No sound is heard from them. Yet
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: their voice goes out into all the earth, their words
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 1: to the ends of the world. In the heavens, God
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 1: has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 1: rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 1: of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 1: Nothing is deprived of its warmth. The law of the
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 1: Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the
• 1:47:36
  Speaker 1: Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: are righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: pure gold. They are sweeter than honey, than honey from
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: the honeycomb. By them, your servant is warned. In keeping
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: them there is great reward. But who can discern their
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: own errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant also
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: from wilful sins. May they not rule over me. Then
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: I will be blameless, innocent of great transgression. May these
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: In you, Lord, I have taken refuge. Let me never
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: be put to shame. Deliver me and your right liciousness.
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: Turn your ear to me. Come quickly to my rescue.
• 1:49:06
  Speaker 1: Be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 1: Since you are my rock and my fortress. For the
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: sake of your name, lead and guide me. Keep me
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: free from the trap that is set for me. For
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 1: you are my refuge. Into your hands. I commit my spirit.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 1: Deliver me, Lord, my faithful God. I hate those who
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: cling to worthless idols. As for me, I trust in
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 1: the Lord. I will be glad and rejoice in your love.
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: For you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of
• 1:49:46
  Speaker 1: my soul. You have not given me into the hands
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 1: of the enemy, but have set my feet in a
• 1:49:52
  Speaker 1: spacious place. Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 1: in distress. My eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: and body with grief. My life is consumed by anguish,
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 1: and my years by groaning. My strength fails because of
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: my affliction, and my bones grow weak. Because of all
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: my enemies. I am the utter contempt of my neighbors,
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: and an object of dread to my closest friends. Those
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: who see me on the street flee from me. I
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: am forgotten, as though I were dead. I have become
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: like broken pottery. For I hear many whispering terror on
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: every side. They conspire against me and plot to take
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: my life. But I trust in you, Lord, I say
• 1:50:52
  Speaker 1: you are my God. My times are in your hands.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: Deliver me from the hands of my enemy, from those
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant.
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: Save me in your unfailing love. Let me not be
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: put to shame, Lord, for I have cried out to you.
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: But let the wicked be put to shame and be
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: silent in the realm of the dead. Let their lying
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 1: lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: arrogantly against the righteous. How abundant are the good things
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: that you have stored up for those who fear you,
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: that you bestow in the sight of all on those
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: who take refuge in you. In the shelter of your presence.
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: You hide them from all human intrigues. You keep them
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: safe in your dwelling from accusing tongues. Praise be to
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: the Lord, for he showed me the wonders of his love.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: When I was in a city under siege. In my alarm,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: I said, I am cut off from your sight. Yet
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: you heard my cry for mercy when I called to
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: you for help. Love the Lord, all his faithful people.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 1: The Lord preserves those who are true to him, but
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 1: the proud he pays back in full. Be strong and
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. Surely
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: God is good to Israel, to those who are pure
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped.
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. They
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: have no struggles. Their bodies are healthy and strong. They're
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: free from common human burdens. They're not plagued by human ills.
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 1: Therefore pride is then they clothe themselves with violence. From
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: their callous hearts comes iniquity. Their evil imaginations have no limits.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: They scoff and speak with malice, with arrogance, they threaten oppression,
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession.
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 2: Of the earth.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 1: Therefore their people turn to them and drink up waters
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: in abundance. They say, how would God know? Does the
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: most high know anything? This is what the wicked alike?
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: Always free of care, they go on amassing wealth. Surely
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: in vain. I have kept my heart pure and have
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: washed my hands in innocence. All day long, I have
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: been afflicted, and every morning brings new punishments. If I
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: had spoken out like that, I would have betrayed your children.
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: When I tried to under stand all this, it troubled
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: me deeply till I entered the sanctuary of God. Then
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: I understood their final destiny. Surely you place them on
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: slippery ground, you cast them down to ruin. How suddenly
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: are they destroyed? Completely swept away by terrors? They are
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: like a dream when one awakes. When you arise, Lord,
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: you will despise them as phantasies. When my heart was
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant.
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 1: I was a brute beast before you. Yet I am
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: always with you. You hold me by my right hand,
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 1: You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 1: take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: you and earth has nothing I desire besides you. My
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 1: flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: strength of my heart and my portion. For ever, those
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 1: who are far from you will perish. You destroy all
• 1:55:14
  Speaker 1: who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, it
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: is good to be near God. I have made the
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 1: sovereign Lord my refuge. I will tell of all your deeds.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked.
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 1: You are God, my stronghold. Why have you rejected me?
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: Why must I go about mourning oppressed by the enemy.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: Send me your light and your faithful care. Let them
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: lead me. Let them bring me to your holy mountain,
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: to the place where you dwell. Then I will go
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: to the altar of God, to God, my joy and
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: my delight. I will praise you with the liar O God,
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: my God, Why my soul are you downcast? Why so
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: will yet praise him, my savior and my God, Listen
• 1:56:23
  Speaker 1: to my world's Lord, consider my lament. Hear my cry
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: for help, my king and my God. For to you
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 1: I pray in the morning. Lord, you hear my voice
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: in the morning. I lay my requests before you and
• 1:56:41
  Speaker 1: wait expectantly. For you are not a god who is
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: pleased with wickedness. With you, evil people are not welcome.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: The arrogant cannot stand in your presence. You hate all
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies. The
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: blood and deceitful, you Lord detest. But I, by your
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: great love, can come into your house in reverence. I
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: bow down toward your holy temple. Lead me, Lord, in
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 1: your righteousness. Because of my enemies, make your way straight
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: before me. Not a word from their mouth can be trusted.
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: Their heart is filled with malice. Their throat is an
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: open grave. With their tongues they tell lies. Declare them guilty,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: O God, Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 1: But let all who take refuge in you be glad.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: Let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them,
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 1: that those who love your name may rejoice in you. Surely, Lord,
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: you bless the righteous. You surround them with your favor
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: as with a shield. Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: I am faithful to you. Save your servant who trusts
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: in you. You are my God. Have mercy on me, Lord,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: for I call to you all day long. Bring joy
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: to your servant. Lord, for I put my trust in you.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: You Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 1: all who call to you, Hear my prayer. Lord, listen
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: I call to you because you answer me. Among the gods,
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: there is none like you, Lord, no deeds and compare
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: with yours. All the nations you have made will come
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: and worship before you.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: They will bring glory to your name, for you are
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: great and do marvelous deeds. You alone are God. Teach
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: Give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 1: I will praise you, Lord, my God, with all my heart.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: I will glorify your name for ever, for great is
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: your love toward me. You have delivered me from the depths,
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 1: from the realm of the dead, arrogant foes are attacking me,
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: O God, Ruthless people are trying to kill me. They
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: have no regard for you. But you, Lord, are a
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: compassionate and gracious god, slow to anger, abounding in love
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 1: Show your strength on behalf of your servant. Save me
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: because I serve you, just as my mother did. Give
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: see it and be put to shame. For you, Lord,
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: have helped me and comforted me. I waited patiently for
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: the Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: the mud and mire. He set my feet on a
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He
• 2:00:47
  Speaker 1: put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: praise to our God. Many will see and fear the
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: Lord and put their trust in him. Blessed is the
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: one who trust in the Lord, who does not look
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: to the proud to those who turn aside to false gods. Many, Lord,
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: my God, are the wonders. You have done the things
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: you planned for us. None can compare with you. Were
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: be too many to declare. Sacrifice and offering you did
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: not desire. But my ears, you have opened burnt offerings
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 1: and sin offerings you did not require. Then I said,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: here I am, I have come. It is written about
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: me in the scroll. I desire to do your will,
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: My God, Your law is within my heart. I proclaim
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: your saving acts in the Great Assembly. I do not
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: seal my lips. Lord, as you know, I do not
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: hide your righteousness in my heart. I speak of your
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: faithfulness and your saving help. I do not conceal your
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: love and your faithfulness from the Great Assembly. Do not
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 1: withhold your mercy from me.
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: May your love and faithfulness always protect me for troubles
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 1: without numbers around me. My sins have overtaken me, and
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 1: my head, and my heart fails within me. Be pleased
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: to save me. Lord, Come quickly, Lord to help me.
• 2:02:35
  Speaker 1: May all who want to take my life be put
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: to shame and confusion. May all who desire my ruin
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 1: be turned back in disgrace. May those who say to
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: me aha ha ha be appalled at their own shame.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 1: But may all who seek you, rejoice and be glad
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 1: in you. May those who long for you your saving
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: help always say the Lord is great. But as for me,
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 1: I am poor and needy. May the Lord think of me.
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: You are my help and my deliverer. You are my God.
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 1: Do not delay.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: Lord my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress,
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 1: and my deliverer. My God is my rock in whom
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 1: I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: my stronghold. I called to the Lord, who is worthy
• 2:03:46
  Speaker 1: of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: The cords of death entangled me. The torrents of destruction
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: overwhelmed me. The cords of the grave coil around me.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 1: The snares of death confronted me. In my distress, I
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 1: called to the Lord. I cried to my God for help.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: From his temple, he heard my voice. My cry came
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 1: before him into his ears. The earth trembled and quaked,
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 1: and the foundations of the mountains shook. They trembled because
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: he was angry. Smoke rose from his nostrils, consuming fire
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 1: came from his mouth. Burning coals blazed out of it.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: He parted the heavens and came down. Dark clouds were
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 1: under his feet. He mounted the cherubim and flew. He
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: soared on the wings of the wind. He made darkness
• 2:04:51
  Speaker 1: his covering his canopy around him. The dark rain clouds
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 1: of the sky, out of the brightness of his press clouds,
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 1: advanced with hailstones and bolts of lightning. The Lord thundered
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: from heaven. The voice of the most High resounded. He
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: shot his arrows and scattered the enemy with great bolts
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: of lightning. He routed them. The valleys of the sea
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: were exposed, and the foundations of the earth laid bare.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: At your rebuke, Lord, at the blast of breath from
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 1: your nostrils, He reached down from on high and took
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 1: hold of me. He drew me out of deep waters.
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 1: He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 1: who were too strong for me. They confronted me in
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 1: the day of my disaster. But the Lord was my support.
• 2:05:52
  Speaker 1: He brought me out into a spacious place. He rescued
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: me because he delighted in me. The Lord has dealt
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: with me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 1: of my hands. He has rewarded me, for I have
• 2:06:12
  Speaker 1: kept the ways of the Lord. I am not guilty
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: of turning from my God. All his laws are before me.
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: I have not turned away from his decrees. I have
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 1: been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 1: The Lord has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. To
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 1: the faithful, you show yourself faithful. To the blameless, you
• 2:06:42
  Speaker 1: show yourself blameless. To the pure, you show yourself pure.
• 2:06:48
  Speaker 1: But to the devious, you show yourself shrewd. You save
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 1: the humble, but bring loth those whose eyes are haughty.
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: You Lord, keep my lamp. Learning My God turns my
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: darkness into light. With your help, I can advance against
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: a troop. With my God, I can scale a wall.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 1: As for God, his way is perfect. The Lord's word
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 1: is flawless. He shields all who take refuge in him.
• 2:07:24
  Speaker 1: For who is God besides the Lord, and who is
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 1: the rock except our God. It is God who arms
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 1: me with strength and keeps my way secure. He makes
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 1: my feet like the feet of a deer. He causes
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 1: me to stand on the heights. He trains my hands
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 1: for battle. My arms can bend a bow of bronze.
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: You make your saving help my shield, and your right
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: hand sustains me. Your help has made me great. You
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 1: provide a broad path for my feet, so that my
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: ankles do not give way. I pursued my enemies and
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: overtook them. I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 1: I crushed them so that they could not rise. They
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 1: fell beneath my feet. You armed me with strength for battle.
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 1: You humbled my adversaries before me. You made my enemies
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 1: turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes.
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 1: They cried for help, but there was no one to
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: save them to the Lord, but.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 2: He did not answer.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: I beat them as fine as wind blown dust. I
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: trampled them like mud in the streets. You have delivered
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 1: me from the attacks of the people. You have made
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: me the head of nations. People I did not know
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 1: now serve me. Foreigners cower before me. As soon as
• 2:08:57
  Speaker 1: they hear of me. They obey me. They all lose heart.
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 1: They come trembling from their strongholds. The Lord lives. Praise
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: be to my rock, Exalted be God, my savior. He
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: is the God who avenges me, who subdues nations under me,
• 2:09:18
  Speaker 1: who saves me from my enemies. You exalted me above
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 1: my foes. From a violent man. You rescued me. Therefore
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: I will praise you Lord, among the nations. I will
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 1: sing the praises of your name. He gives his king
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: great victory. He shows unfailing love to his anointed, to David,
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: and to his descendants. For ever, keep me safe, my God,
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 1: For in you I take refuge. I say to the Lord,
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 1: you are my Lord. Apart from you, I have no
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 1: oh good thing. I say of the holy people who
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: are in the land. They are the noble ones in
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 1: whom is all my delight. Those who run after other
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 1: out libations of blood to such gods, or take up
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 1: their names on my lips. Lord, you alone are my
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 1: portion and my cup. You make my lot secure. The
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 1: boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places. Surely
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 1: I have a delightful inheritance. I will praise the Lord
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 1: who counsels me. Even at night. My heart instructs me,
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 1: I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices. My body
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: also will rest secure because you will not abandon me
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: to the realm of the dead, nor will you let
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 1: your faithful one see decay. You make known to me
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 1: the path of life. You will fill me with joy
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: in your presence, with eternal pleasures. At your right hand,
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 1: Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise. In
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 1: the city of our God, his holy mountain, beautiful in
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 1: its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 1: heights of Zavon, is Mount Zion, the city of the
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 1: Great King. God is in her citadels. He has shown
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: himself to be her fortress. When the kings joined forces,
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 1: when they advanced together, they saw her and were astounded.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 1: They fled in terror. Trembling seized them. There pain like
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 1: that of a woman in labor. You destroyed them like
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 1: ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind. As we
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 1: have heard, so we have seen in the city of
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 1: the Lord Almighty, in the city of our God. God
• 2:12:10
  Speaker 1: makes her secure forever. Within your temple, O God, we
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 1: meditate on your unfailing love. Like your name, O God,
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: Your praise reaches to the ends of the earth. Your
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 1: right hand is filled with righteousness. Mount Zion rejoices the
• 2:12:30
  Speaker 1: villages of Judah. Are glad because of your judgments. Walk
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 1: about Zion, go around her counter towers, consider well her ramparts,
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 1: view her citadels, that you may tell of them to
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 1: the next generation. For this God is our God, for
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: ever and ever, he will be our guide, even to
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 1: the end.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 2: Praise the Lord.
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 1: I will extol the Lord with all my heart in
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 1: the counsel of the Upright and in the Assembly. Great
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: are the works of the Lord. They are pondered by
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: all who delight in them. Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 1: and his righteousness endures forever. He has caused his wonders
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 1: to be remembered. The Lord is gracious and compassionate. He
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: provides food for those who fear him. He remembers his
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 1: covenant forever. He has shown his people the power of
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 1: his works, giving them the lands of the other nations.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 1: The works of his hands are faithful and just. All
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 1: his precepts are trustworthy. They are established for ever and ever,
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 1: enacted in faithfulness and uprightness. He provided redemption for his people.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: He ordained his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: All who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 1: belongs eternal praise. Hear my cry, O, God, listen to
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 1: my prayer. From the ends of the earth. I call
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: to you. I call as my heart grows faint. Lead
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: me to the rock that is higher than I For
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 1: you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: I long to dwell in your tent forever, and take
• 2:14:40
  Speaker 1: refuge in the shelter of your wings. For you, God,
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: of those who fear your name. Increase the days of
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: the king's life, his years for many generations. May he
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 1: be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your love and
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: faithfulness to protect him. Then I will ever sing in
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: praise of your name and fulfill my vows day after day,
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 1: Book five, Psalm one hundred seven. Give thanks to the Lord,
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 1: for he is good. His love endures for ever. Let
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 1: the redeemed of the Lord tell their story. Those he
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: redeemed from the hand of the foe. Those he gathered
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 1: from the lands from east and west, from north and south.
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: Some wandered in desert waste lands, finding no way to
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 1: a city where they could settle. They were hungry and thirsty,
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: and their lives ebbed away. Then they cried out to
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: their distress. He led them by a straight way to
• 2:15:57
  Speaker 1: a city where they could settle. Let them give thanks
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 1: to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 1: deeds for mankind. For he satisfies the thirsty and fills
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 1: the hungry with good things. Some sat in darkness, in
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: utter darkness, prisoners suffering in iron chains, because they rebelled
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 1: against God's commands and despised the plans of the most High.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 1: So he subjected them to bitter labor. They stumbled, and
• 2:16:31
  Speaker 1: there was no one to help. Then they cried to
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 1: the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them from
• 2:16:39
  Speaker 1: their distress. He brought them out of darkness, the utter darkness,
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: and broke away their chains. Let them give thanks to
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 1: the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 1: for mankind. For he breaks down gaits of bronze and
• 2:16:56
  Speaker 1: cuts through bars of iron. Some became fools through their
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 1: rebellious ways, and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. They
• 2:17:06
  Speaker 1: loathed all food and drew near the gates of death.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 1: he saved them from their distress. He sent out his
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 1: word and healed them. He rescued them from the grave.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 1: Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 1: love and his wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them sacrifice
• 2:17:29
  Speaker 1: thank offerings and tell of his works with songs of joy.
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 1: Some went out on the sea and ships. They were
• 2:17:37
  Speaker 1: merchants on the mighty waters. They saw the works of
• 2:17:41
  Speaker 1: the Lord his wonderful deeds in the deep. For he
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 1: spoke and stirred up a tempest that lifted high the waves.
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 1: They mounted up to the heavens and went down to
• 2:17:52
  Speaker 1: the depths. In their peril, their courage melted away. They
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 1: reeled and staggered like drunkards. They were at their wits end.
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 1: Then they cried out to their Lord in their trouble,
• 2:18:06
  Speaker 1: and he brought them out of their distress. He stilled
• 2:18:10
  Speaker 1: the storm to a whisper. The waves of the sea
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 1: were hushed. They were glad when it grew calm, and
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: he guided them to their desired haven. Let them give
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 1: wonderful deeds for mankind. Let them exalt him in the
• 2:18:30
  Speaker 1: assembly of the people, and praise him in the council
• 2:18:33
  Speaker 1: of the elders. He turned rivers into a desert, flowing
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 1: springs into thirsty ground, and fruitful land into a salt
• 2:18:43
  Speaker 1: waste because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 1: He turned the desert into pools of water, and the
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: parched ground into flowing springs. There he brought the hungry
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 1: to live, and they founded a city where they could settle.
• 2:18:59
  Speaker 1: They owed fields and planted vineyards that yielded a fruitful harvest.
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 1: He blessed them, and their numbers greatly increased, and he
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: did not let their herds diminish. Then their numbers decreased,
• 2:19:15
  Speaker 1: and they were humbled by oppression, calamity, and sorrow. He
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 1: who pours contempt on nobles made them wander in a
• 2:19:24
  Speaker 1: trackless waste. But he lifted the needy out of their
• 2:19:28
  Speaker 1: affliction and increased their families like flocks the upright sea
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 1: and rejoice. But all the wicked shut their mouths. Let
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 1: the one who is wise heed these things and ponder
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 1: the loving deeds of the Lord. My people hear my teaching,
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 1: listen to the words of my mouth. I will open
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 1: my mouth with a parable I will utter hidden things,
• 2:20:00
  Speaker 1: things from of old things we have heard and known
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 1: things our ancestors have taught us. We will not hide
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 1: them from their descendants. We will tell the next generation
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 1: the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord his power, and the
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 1: wonders he has done.
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 2: He decreed statutes.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 1: For Jacob and establish the law in Israel, which he
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 1: commanded our ancestors to teach their children, so the next
• 2:20:27
  Speaker 1: generation would know them, even the children yet to be born,
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 1: and they, in turn would tell their children. Then they
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 1: would put their trust in God and would not forget
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 1: his deeds, but would keep his commands. They would not
• 2:20:41
  Speaker 1: be like their ancestors, the stubborn and rebellious generation, whose
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not
• 2:20:49
  Speaker 1: faithful to him. The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows,
• 2:20:55
  Speaker 1: turned back on the day of battle. They did not
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 1: keep God's cusvenant and refused to live by his law.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 1: They forgot what he had done, the wonders he had
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 1: shown them. He did miracles in the sight of their ancestors.
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 1: In the land of Egypt in the region of Zoan.
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 1: He divided the sea and led them through. He made
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 1: the water stand up like a wall. He guided them
• 2:21:20
  Speaker 1: with the cloud by day, and with light from.
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 2: The fire all night.
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 1: He split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 1: water as abundant as the seas. He brought streams out
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 1: of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers.
• 2:21:38
  Speaker 1: But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the
• 2:21:41
  Speaker 1: wilderness against the most high. They wilfully put God to
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 1: the test by demanding the food they craved. They spoke
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 1: against God. They said, can God really spread a table
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: in the wilderness? True, he struck the rock and water
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 1: gushed out, streams flowed abundantly, But can he also give
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 1: us bread? Can he supply meat for his people? When
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: the Lord heard them, he was furious. His fire broke
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 1: out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel, for
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 1: they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 1: Yet he gave a command to the skies above and
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 1: opened the doors of the heavens. He rained down manner
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 1: for the people to eat. He gave them the grain
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 1: of heaven. Human beings at the bread of angels. He
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 1: sent them all the food they could eat. He let
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 1: loose the east wind from the heavens, and by his
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 1: power made the south wind blow. He rained meat down
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: on them like dust birds, like sand on the sea shore.
• 2:22:57
  Speaker 1: He made them come down inside their camp, all around
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 1: their tents. They ate till they were gorged. He had
• 2:23:05
  Speaker 1: given them what they craved, But before they turned from
• 2:23:10
  Speaker 1: what they craved, even while the food was still in
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 1: their mouths, God's anger rose against them. He put to
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 1: death the sturdiest among them, cutting down the young men
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 1: of Israel. In spite of all this, they kept on sinning.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 1: In spite of his wonders, they did not believe. So
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 1: he ended their days in futility and their years in terror.
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 1: Whenever God slew them, they would seek him. They eagerly
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 1: turned to him again. They remembered that God was their rock,
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 1: that God most High was their redeemer. But then they
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 1: would flatter him with their mouths, lying to him with
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 1: their tongues. Their hearts were not loyal to him, they
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: were not faithful to his covenant. Yet He was merciful.
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 1: He forgave their iniquities and did not destroy them. Time
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: after time, he restrained his anger and did not stir
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 1: up his full wrath. He remembered that they were but flesh,
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 1: a passing breeze that does not return. How often they
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 1: rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 1: the waste land. Again and again they put God to
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 1: the test. They vexed the Holy One of Israel. They
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 1: did not remember his power the day he redeemed them
• 2:24:36
  Speaker 1: from the oppressor, the day he displayed his signs in Egypt,
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 1: his wonders. In the region of Zoan, he turned their
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 1: river into blood. They could not drink from their streams.
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 1: He sent swarms of flies that devoured them, and frogs
• 2:24:51
  Speaker 1: that devastated them. He gave their crops to the grasshopper,
• 2:24:55
  Speaker 1: their produce to the locust. He destroyed their vines with hail,
• 2:25:00
  Speaker 1: and their sycamore figs with sleet. He gave over their
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 1: cattle to the hail, their live stock to bolts of lightning.
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: He unleashed against them his hot anger, his wrath, indignation,
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 1: and hostility. A band of destroying angels. He prepared a
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 1: path for his anger. He did not spare them from death,
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 1: but gave them over to the plague. He struck down
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 1: all the first born of Egypt, the first fruits of manhood,
• 2:25:32
  Speaker 1: in the tents of Ham. But he brought his people
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 1: out like a flock. He led them like sheep through
• 2:25:40
  Speaker 1: the wilderness. He guided them safely, so they were unafraid.
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 1: But the sea engulfed their enemies, and so he brought
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 1: them to the border of his holy land, to the
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: hill country his right hand had taken. He drove out
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 1: nations before them and allotted their lands to them as
• 2:26:02
  Speaker 1: an inheritance. He settled the tribes of Israel in their homes.
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 1: But they put God to the test and rebelled against
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 1: the most high. They did not keep his statutes like
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 1: their ancestors. They were disloyal and faithless, as unreliable as
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 1: a faulty bow. They angered him with their high places.
• 2:26:28
  Speaker 1: They aroused his jealousy with their idols. When God heard them,
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 1: he was furious. He rejected Israel completely. He abandoned the
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 1: Tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among humans.
• 2:26:44
  Speaker 1: He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his
• 2:26:47
  Speaker 1: splendor into the hands of the enemy. He gave his
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 1: people over to the sword. He was furious with his inheritance.
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 1: Fire consumed their young men, and their young women had
• 2:27:01
  Speaker 1: no wedding songs. Their priests were put to the sword,
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 1: and their widows could not weep. Then the Lord awoke,
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 1: as from sleep, as a warrior wakes from the stupor
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 1: of wine. He beat back his enemies. He put them
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 1: to everlasting shame. Then he rejected the tents of Joseph.
• 2:27:26
  Speaker 1: He did not choose the tribe of Ephraim, but he
• 2:27:29
  Speaker 1: chose the tribe of Judah Mount Zion, which he loved.
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 1: He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth
• 2:27:37
  Speaker 1: that he established forever.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 2: He chose David his.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 1: Servant, and took him from the sheepfolds, from tending the sheep.
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 1: He brought him to be the shepherd of his people.
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 1: Jacob of Israel his inheritance, and David shepherded them with
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 1: integrity of heart, with skillful hands. He let them, I
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 1: lift up my eyes to the mountains. Where does my
• 2:28:07
  Speaker 1: help come from. My help comes from the Lord, the
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 1: foot slip. He who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed,
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 1: he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep
• 2:28:26
  Speaker 1: The Lord watches over you. The Lord is your shade
• 2:28:30
  Speaker 1: at your right hand. The sun will not harm you
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 1: by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will
• 2:28:38
  Speaker 1: keep you from all harm. He will watch over your life.
• 2:28:42
  Speaker 1: The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 1: now and for evermore. I will extol the Lord at
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 1: all times. His praise will always be on my lips.
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 1: I will glory in the Lord. Let the afflicted hear
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 1: and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me. Let us exalt
• 2:29:05
  Speaker 1: his name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me.
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 1: He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 1: to him are radiant. Their faces are never covered with shame.
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 1: This poor man called, and the Lord heard him. He
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 1: saved him out of all his troubles. The Angel of
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 1: the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 1: delivers them. Taste and see that the Lord is good.
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. Fear
• 2:29:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord, you, his holy people, For those who fear
• 2:29:45
  Speaker 1: him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry,
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 1: but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come,
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 1: my children, listen to me. I will teach you the
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 1: fear of the Lord, whoever of you, loves life and
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 1: desires to see many good days. Keep your tongue from
• 2:30:08
  Speaker 1: evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 1: and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 1: of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 1: are attentive to their cry. But the face of the
• 2:30:25
  Speaker 1: Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 1: their name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord hears them. He delivers them from all their troubles.
• 2:30:38
  Speaker 1: The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 1: those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may
• 2:30:46
  Speaker 1: have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 1: He protects all his bones. Not one of them will
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 1: be broken. Evil will slay the wicked. The foes of
• 2:30:59
  Speaker 1: the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants.
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 1: No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 1: I cried out to God for help. I cried out
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 1: to God to hear me when I was in distress.
• 2:31:18
  Speaker 1: I sought the Lord at night. I stretched out untiring hands,
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 1: and I would not be comforted. I remembered you, God,
• 2:31:29
  Speaker 1: and I groaned. I meditated, and my spirit grew faint.
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 1: You kept my eyes from closing. I was too troubled
• 2:31:39
  Speaker 1: to speak. I thought about the former days, the years
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 1: of long ago. I remembered my songs. In the night,
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: my heart meditated, and my spirit asked, will the Lord
• 2:31:53
  Speaker 1: reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? Has
• 2:31:58
  Speaker 1: his unfailing love vanished? Forever? Has his promise failed for
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 1: all time? Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he,
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 1: in anger withheld his compassion? Then I thought to this,
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 1: I will appeal the years when the Most High stretched
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 1: out his right hand. I will remember the deeds of
• 2:32:21
  Speaker 1: the Lord. Yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
• 2:32:28
  Speaker 1: I will consider all your works and meditate on all
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 1: your mighty deeds. Your ways, God are holy. What God
• 2:32:38
  Speaker 1: is as great as our God. You are the God
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 1: who performs miracles. You display your power among the peoples
• 2:32:47
  Speaker 1: with your mighty arm. You redeemed your people, the descendants
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 1: of Jacob and Joseph. The waters saw you, God, The
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 1: waters saw you and writhed the very debt were convulsed.
• 2:33:02
  Speaker 1: The clouds poured down water. The heavens resounded with thunder.
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 1: Your arrows flashed back and forth. Your thunder was heard
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 1: in the whirlwind. Your lightning lit up the world. The
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 1: earth trembled and quaked. Your path led through the sea,
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 1: your way through the mighty waters. Though your footprints were
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 1: not seen. You led your people like a flock by
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 1: the hand of Moses and Aaron. Lord, you have been
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 1: our dwelling place throughout all generations, before the.
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 2: Mountains were born.
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 1: Or you brought forth the whole world from everlasting to everlasting.
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 2: You are God.
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 1: You turn people back to dust, saying, return to dust,
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 1: you mortal. A thousand years in your sight are like
• 2:33:58
  Speaker 1: a day that has just gone by eye, or like
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: a watch in the night. Yet you sweep people away
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 1: in the sleep of death. They are like the new
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 1: grass of the morning. In the morning it springs up new,
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 1: but by evening it is dry and withered. We are
• 2:34:17
  Speaker 1: consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation. You
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 1: have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins. In
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 1: the light of your presence. All our days pass away
• 2:34:29
  Speaker 1: under your wrath. We finish our years with a moan.
• 2:34:35
  Speaker 1: Our days may come to seventy years or eighty if
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 1: our strength endures. Yet the best of them are but
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 1: trouble and sorrow. For they quickly pass and we fly away.
• 2:34:48
  Speaker 1: If only we knew the power of your anger. Your
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 1: wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 1: Teach us to number our days that we may gain
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: in a heart of wisdom. Relent, Lord, how long will
• 2:35:05
  Speaker 1: it be? Have compassion on your servants. Satisfy us in
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 1: the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 1: for joy and be glad all our days. Make us
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 1: glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 1: for as many years as we have seen trouble. May
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 1: your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to
• 2:35:30
  Speaker 1: their children. May the favor of the Lord, our God
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 1: rest on us. Establish the work of our hands. For us, yes,
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 1: establish the work of our hands. Sing joyfully to the Lord,
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 1: you Righteous. It is fitting for the upright to praise him.
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 1: Praise the Lord with the harp, make music to him
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 1: on the ten stringed liar, sing to him a new song.
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 1: Play skillfully and shout for joy. For the word of
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 1: the Lord is right and true. He is faithful in
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 1: all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice. The
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 1: earth is full of his unfailing love. By the word
• 2:36:15
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, the heavens were made their starry host
• 2:36:19
  Speaker 1: By the breath of his mouth. He gathers the waters
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 1: of the sea into jars, He puts the deep into storehouses.
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 1: Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 1: people of the world revere him. For he spoke, and
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 1: it came to be. He commanded, and it stood firm.
• 2:36:41
  Speaker 1: The Lord foils the plans of the nations. He thwarts
• 2:36:45
  Speaker 1: the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 1: Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 1: all generations.
• 2:36:56
  Speaker 2: Blessed is the nation whose.
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 1: God is the Lord, the people he chose for his
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 1: inheritance from heaven. The Lord looks down and sees all
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 1: mankind from his dwelling place. He watches all who live
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 1: on earth, He who forms the hearts of all, who
• 2:37:15
  Speaker 1: consideth everything they do. No king is saved by the
• 2:37:20
  Speaker 1: size of his army. No warrior escapes by his great strength.
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 1: A horse is a vain hope for deliverance. Despite all
• 2:37:29
  Speaker 1: its great strength, it cannot save. With the eyes of
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord are on those who fear him, on those
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 1: whose hope is in his unfailing love, to deliver them
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 1: from death and keep them alive in famine. We wait
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 1: in hope for the Lord. He is our help and
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 1: our shield. In him, our hearts rejoice, for we trust
• 2:37:53
  Speaker 1: in his holy name. May Your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 1: even as we put our hope in You, Praise the Lord.
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 1: Blessed are those who fear the Lord, who find great
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 1: delight in his commands. Their children will be mighty in
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 1: the land. The generation of the Upright will be blessed.
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 1: Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 1: endures for ever. Even in darkness, light dawns for the upright,
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 1: for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous. Good
• 2:38:33
  Speaker 1: will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 1: who conduct their affairs with justice. Surely, the righteous will
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 1: never be shaken. They will be remembered for ever. They
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 1: will have no fear of bad news. Their hearts are steadfast,
• 2:38:50
  Speaker 1: trusting in the Lord. Their hearts are secure. They will
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 1: have no fear.
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 2: In the end.
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 1: They will look in triumph on their foes. They have
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 1: freely scattered their gifts to the poor. Their righteousness endures
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 1: for ever. Their horn will be lifted high in honor.
• 2:39:10
  Speaker 1: The wicked will see and be vexed, they will gnash
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 1: their teeth and waste away. The longings of the wicked
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 1: will come to nothing. Whoever dwells in the shelter of
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 1: the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
• 2:39:29
  Speaker 1: I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge
• 2:39:32
  Speaker 1: and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Surely
• 2:39:37
  Speaker 1: he will save you from the fowler's snare and from
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 1: the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers,
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 1: and under his wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 1: will be your shield, and rampart. You will not fear
• 2:39:52
  Speaker 1: the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies
• 2:39:55
  Speaker 1: by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
• 2:39:59
  Speaker 1: nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may
• 2:40:04
  Speaker 1: fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand,
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 1: but it will not come near you. You will only
• 2:40:13
  Speaker 1: observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
• 2:40:18
  Speaker 1: If you say the Lord is my refuge, and you
• 2:40:22
  Speaker 1: make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you.
• 2:40:27
  Speaker 1: No disaster will come near your tent, For He will
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 1: command his angels concerning you to guard you in all
• 2:40:34
  Speaker 1: your ways. They will lift you up in their hands,
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 1: so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
• 2:40:42
  Speaker 1: You will tread on the lion and the cobra. You
• 2:40:45
  Speaker 1: will trample the great lion and the serpent. Because he
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 1: loves me, says the Lord. I will rescue him. I
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 1: will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 1: call on me, and I will answer him. I will
• 2:41:03
  Speaker 1: be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and
• 2:41:06
  Speaker 1: honor him with long life. I will satisfy him and
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 1: show him my salfation. Those who trust in the Lord
• 2:41:18
  Speaker 1: are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken, but endures forever.
• 2:41:23
  Speaker 1: As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people,
• 2:41:28
  Speaker 1: both now and for evermore. The scepter of the wicked
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 1: will not remain over the land allotted to the righteous,
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 1: for then the righteous might use their hands to do evil.
• 2:41:41
  Speaker 1: Lord do good to those who are good, to those
• 2:41:44
  Speaker 1: who are upright in heart. But those who turn to
• 2:41:48
  Speaker 1: crooked ways, the Lord will banish with the evil doers.
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 1: Peace be on Israel. Blessed are those whose ways are blameless,
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 1: who walk according to the law of the Lord. Blessed
• 2:42:04
  Speaker 1: are those who keep his statutes and seek him with
• 2:42:07
  Speaker 1: all their heart. They do no wrong, but follow his ways.
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 1: You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.
• 2:42:18
  Speaker 1: Oh that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees,
• 2:42:22
  Speaker 1: then I would not be put to shame. When I
• 2:42:24
  Speaker 1: consider all your commands, I will praise you with an
• 2:42:28
  Speaker 1: upright heart. As I learn your righteous laws. I will
• 2:42:32
  Speaker 1: obey your decrees. Do not utterly forsake me. How can
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 1: a young person stay on the path of purity by
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 1: living according to your word? I seek you with all
• 2:42:47
  Speaker 1: my heart. Do not let me stray from your commands.
• 2:42:53
  Speaker 1: I have hidden your word in my heart that I
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 1: might not sin against you. Praise be to you Lord.
• 2:43:00
  Speaker 1: Teach me your decrees with my lips. I recount all
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 1: the laws that come from your mouth. I rejoice in
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 1: following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I
• 2:43:13
  Speaker 1: meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight
• 2:43:18
  Speaker 1: in your decrees. I will not neglect your word. Be
• 2:43:23
  Speaker 1: good to your servant while I live that I may
• 2:43:26
  Speaker 1: obey your word. Open my eyes that I may see
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 1: wonderful things in your law. I am a stranger on earth.
• 2:43:37
  Speaker 1: Do not hide your commands from me. My soul is
• 2:43:41
  Speaker 1: consumed with longing for your laws. At all times, you
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 1: rebuke the arrogant who are accursed those who stray from
• 2:43:50
  Speaker 1: your commands. Remove from me their scorn and contempt. For
• 2:43:55
  Speaker 1: I keep your statutes, though rulers sit together and slander me.
• 2:44:01
  Speaker 1: Your servant will meditate on your decrees. Your statutes are
• 2:44:05
  Speaker 1: my delight. They are my counselors. I am laid low
• 2:44:11
  Speaker 1: in the dust. Preserve my life according to your word.
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 1: I gave an account of my ways, and you answered me.
• 2:44:18
  Speaker 1: Teach me your decrees. Cause me to understand the way
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 1: of your precepts, that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.
• 2:44:26
  Speaker 1: My soul is weary with sorrow. Strengthen me according to
• 2:44:30
  Speaker 1: your word. Keep me from deceitful ways. Be gracious to me,
• 2:44:35
  Speaker 1: and teach me your law. I have chosen the way
• 2:44:39
  Speaker 1: of faithfulness. I have set my heart on your laws.
• 2:44:43
  Speaker 1: I hold fast to your statutes. Lord, do not let
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 1: me be put to shame. I run in the path
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 1: of your commands, for you have broadened my understanding. Teach me, Lord,
• 2:44:58
  Speaker 1: the way of your decrees. I may follow it to
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 1: the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 1: your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct
• 2:45:09
  Speaker 1: me in the path of your commands, for there I
• 2:45:12
  Speaker 1: find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not
• 2:45:19
  Speaker 1: toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things.
• 2:45:25
  Speaker 1: Preserve my life according to your word. Fulfill your promise
• 2:45:30
  Speaker 1: to your servant, so that you may be feared. Take
• 2:45:33
  Speaker 1: away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good.
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 1: How I long for your precepts. In your righteousness, preserve
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 1: my life. May your unfailing love come to me, Lord,
• 2:45:47
  Speaker 1: your salvation according to your promise. Then I can answer
• 2:45:53
  Speaker 1: any one who taunts me, for I trust.
• 2:45:56
  Speaker 2: In your word.
• 2:45:58
  Speaker 1: Never take your word of truth my mouth, for I
• 2:46:01
  Speaker 1: have put my hope in your laws. I will always
• 2:46:04
  Speaker 1: obey your law for ever and ever I will walk
• 2:46:09
  Speaker 1: about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.
• 2:46:13
  Speaker 1: I will speak of your statutes before kings and will
• 2:46:16
  Speaker 1: not be put to shame. For I delight in your
• 2:46:19
  Speaker 1: commands because I love them. I reach out for your commands,
• 2:46:25
  Speaker 1: which I love, that I may.
• 2:46:27
  Speaker 2: Meditate on your decrees.
• 2:46:30
  Speaker 1: Remember your word to your servant, for you have given
• 2:46:33
  Speaker 1: me hope my comfort in my suffering. Is this Your
• 2:46:37
  Speaker 1: promise preserves my life. The arrogant mock me unmercifully. But

  Speaker 1: your ancient laws, and I find.
• 2:46:51
  Speaker 2: Comfort in them.
• 2:46:53
  Speaker 1: Indignation grips me because of the wicked who have forsaken

• 2:47:11
  Speaker 1: I obey your precepts. You are my portion.
• 2:47:15
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 2:47:17
  Speaker 1: I have promised to obey your words. I have sought
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 1: your face with all my heart. Be gracious to me.
• 2:47:22
  Speaker 1: According to your promise. I have considered my ways and
• 2:47:27
  Speaker 1: have turned my steps to your statutes. I will hasten
• 2:47:31
  Speaker 1: and not delay to obey your commands. Though the wicked
• 2:47:35
  Speaker 1: bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.
• 2:47:40
  Speaker 1: At midnight I rise to give you thanks for your
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 1: righteous laws. I am a friend to all who fear you,
• 2:47:48
  Speaker 1: to all who follow your precepts.
• 2:47:50
  Speaker 2: The earth is filled with your love. Lord.
• 2:47:53
  Speaker 1: Teach me your decrees. Do good to your servant according
• 2:47:57
  Speaker 1: to your word. Lord, teach me not knowledge and good judgment,
• 2:48:01
  Speaker 1: For I trust your commands before I was afflicted, I
• 2:48:06
  Speaker 1: went astray, But now I obey your word. You are good,
• 2:48:13
  Speaker 1: and what you do is good. Teach me your decrees.
• 2:48:18
  Speaker 1: Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep
• 2:48:22
  Speaker 1: your precepts with all my heart. Their hearts are callous
• 2:48:27
  Speaker 1: and unfeeling that I delight in your law. It was
• 2:48:32
  Speaker 1: good for me to be afflicted, so that I might
• 2:48:35
  Speaker 1: learn your decrees. The law from your mouth is more
• 2:48:39
  Speaker 1: precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
• 2:48:46
  Speaker 1: Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 1: to learn your commands. May those who fear you rejoice
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 1: when they see me, For I have put my hope
• 2:48:56
  Speaker 1: in your word. I know law, that your laws are righteous,
• 2:49:03
  Speaker 1: and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me. May your
• 2:49:07
  Speaker 1: unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to
• 2:49:11
  Speaker 1: your servant, Let your compassion come to me that I
• 2:49:14
  Speaker 1: may live, for your law is my delight. May the
• 2:49:19
  Speaker 1: arrogant be put to shame for wronging me without cause,
• 2:49:23
  Speaker 1: but I will meditate on your precepts. May those who
• 2:49:28
  Speaker 1: fear you turn to me those who understand your statutes.
• 2:49:33
  Speaker 1: May I wholeheartedly follow your decrees, that I may not
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 1: be put to shame. My soul faints with longing for
• 2:49:42
  Speaker 1: your salvation. But I have put my hope in your word.
• 2:49:47
  Speaker 1: My eyes fail looking for your promise, I say, when
• 2:49:51
  Speaker 1: will you comfort me? Though I am like a wine
• 2:49:56
  Speaker 1: skin in the smoke, I do not forget your decrees.
• 2:49:59
  Speaker 1: How long must your servant wait? When will you punish
• 2:50:03
  Speaker 1: my persecutors? The arrogant dig pits to track me contrary
• 2:50:08
  Speaker 1: to your law. All your commands are trustworthy. Help me,
• 2:50:14
  Speaker 1: for I am being persecuted without cause. They almost wipe
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 1: to me from the earth. But I have not forsaken
• 2:50:21
  Speaker 1: your precepts. In your unfailing love, preserve my life that
• 2:50:26
  Speaker 1: I may obey the statutes of your mouth. Your word,
• 2:50:31
  Speaker 1: Lord is eternal, It stands firm in the heavens. Your
• 2:50:36
  Speaker 1: faithfulness continues through all generations. You establish the earth, and
• 2:50:41
  Speaker 1: it endures. Your laws endure to this day. For all
• 2:50:45
  Speaker 1: things serve you. If your law had not been my delight,
• 2:50:51
  Speaker 1: I would have perished in my affliction. I will never
• 2:50:55
  Speaker 1: forget your precepts, for by them you have preserved life.
• 2:51:02
  Speaker 1: Save me, for I am yours. I have sought out
• 2:51:05
  Speaker 1: your precepts. The wicked awaiting to destroy me but I
• 2:51:09
  Speaker 1: will ponder your statutes to all perfection. I see a limit,
• 2:51:14
  Speaker 1: but your commands are boundless. Oh, how I love your law.
• 2:51:20
  Speaker 1: I meditate on it all day long. Your commands are
• 2:51:23
  Speaker 1: always with me, and make me wiser than my enemies.
• 2:51:27
  Speaker 1: I have more insight than all my teachers, for I
• 2:51:30
  Speaker 1: meditate on your statutes. I have more understanding than the elders,
• 2:51:34
  Speaker 1: for I obey your precepts. I have kept my feet
• 2:51:38
  Speaker 1: from every evil path so that I might obey your word.
• 2:51:43
  Speaker 1: I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself
• 2:51:46
  Speaker 1: have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste,
• 2:51:51
  Speaker 1: sweeter than honey to my mouth. I gain understanding from
• 2:51:55
  Speaker 1: your precepts. Therefore I hate every wrong part. Your word
• 2:52:02
  Speaker 1: is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
• 2:52:07
  Speaker 1: I have taken an oath and confirmed it that I
• 2:52:09
  Speaker 1: will follow your righteous laws. I have suffered much. Preserve
• 2:52:16
  Speaker 1: my life, Lord, according to your word. Accept Lord, the
• 2:52:20
  Speaker 1: willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.
• 2:52:26
  Speaker 1: Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I
• 2:52:29
  Speaker 1: will not forget your law. The wicked have set a
• 2:52:33
  Speaker 1: snare for me, But I have not strayed from your precepts.
• 2:52:37
  Speaker 1: Your statutes are my heritage for ever. They are the
• 2:52:40
  Speaker 1: joy of my heart. My heart is set on keeping
• 2:52:44
  Speaker 1: your decrees to the very end. I hate double minded people,
• 2:52:49
  Speaker 1: but I love your law. You are my refuge and
• 2:52:54
  Speaker 1: my shield. I have put my hope in your word.
• 2:52:58
  Speaker 1: Away from me, you evil doers, that I may keep
• 2:53:02
  Speaker 1: the commands of my God. Sustain me my God according
• 2:53:06
  Speaker 1: to your promise, and I will live. Do not let
• 2:53:09
  Speaker 1: my hopes be dashed. Uphold me, and I will be delivered.
• 2:53:13
  Speaker 1: I will always have regard for your decrees. You reject
• 2:53:17
  Speaker 1: all who stray from your decrees, for their delusions come
• 2:53:21
  Speaker 1: to nothing. All the wicked of the earth you discard
• 2:53:25
  Speaker 1: like dross. Therefore I love your statutes. My flesh trembles
• 2:53:31
  Speaker 1: in fear of you. I stand in awe of your laws.
• 2:53:36
  Speaker 1: I have done what is righteous and just. Do not
• 2:53:39
  Speaker 1: leave me to my oppressors. Ensure your servants well being.
• 2:53:43
  Speaker 1: Do not let the arrogant oppress me. My eyes fail
• 2:53:47
  Speaker 1: looking for your salvation, looking for your righteous promise. Deal
• 2:53:52
  Speaker 1: with your servant according to your love, and teach me
• 2:53:55
  Speaker 1: your decrees. I am your servant. Give me discernment that
• 2:54:02
  Speaker 1: I may understand your statutes. It is time for you
• 2:54:07
  Speaker 1: to act. Lord. Your law is being broken. Because I
• 2:54:11
  Speaker 1: love your commands more than gold, more than pure gold,
• 2:54:15
  Speaker 1: and because I consider all your precepts right, I hate
• 2:54:20
  Speaker 1: every wrong path. Your statutes are wonderful. Therefore I obey them.
• 2:54:27
  Speaker 1: The unfolding of your words gives light. It gives understanding
• 2:54:31
  Speaker 1: to the symbol. I open my mouth and pant, longing
• 2:54:35
  Speaker 1: for your commands. Turn to me and have mercy on me,
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 1: as you always do to those who love your name.
• 2:54:43
  Speaker 1: Direct my footsteps according to your word. Let no sin
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 1: rule over me. Redeem me from human oppression that I
• 2:54:51
  Speaker 1: may obey your precepts. Make your face shine on your servant,
• 2:54:56
  Speaker 1: and teach me your decrees. Streams of tears flow from
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 1: my eyes, for your law is not obeyed. You are righteous, Lord,
• 2:55:07
  Speaker 1: and your laws are right. The statutes you have laid
• 2:55:11
  Speaker 1: down are righteous. They are fully trustworthy. My zeal wears
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 1: me out, for my enemies ignore your words. Your promises
• 2:55:20
  Speaker 1: have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them. Though
• 2:55:25
  Speaker 1: I am lowly and despised, I do not forget your precepts.
• 2:55:30
  Speaker 1: Your righteousness is everlasting, and your law is true. Trouble
• 2:55:36
  Speaker 1: and distress have come upon me. But your commands give
• 2:55:39
  Speaker 1: me delight. Your statutes are always righteous. Give me understanding
• 2:55:45
  Speaker 1: that I may live. I call with all my heart.
• 2:55:50
  Speaker 1: Answer me, Lord, and I will obey your decrees. I
• 2:55:54
  Speaker 1: call out to you, save me, and I will keep
• 2:55:57
  Speaker 1: your statutes. I rise before dawn and cry for help.
• 2:56:02
  Speaker 1: I have put my hope in your word. My eyes
• 2:56:05
  Speaker 1: stay open through the watches of the night, that I
• 2:56:07
  Speaker 1: may meditate on your promises. Hear my voice in accordance
• 2:56:12
  Speaker 1: with your love. Preserve my life, Lord, according to your laws.
• 2:56:17
  Speaker 1: Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are
• 2:56:21
  Speaker 1: far from your law. Yet you are near, Lord, and
• 2:56:25
  Speaker 1: all your commands are true. Long ago I learned from
• 2:56:29
  Speaker 1: your statutes that you established them to last for ever.
• 2:56:35
  Speaker 1: Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have
• 2:56:38
  Speaker 1: not forgotten your law. Defend my cause and redeem me.
• 2:56:43
  Speaker 1: Preserve my life according to your promise. Salvation is far
• 2:56:48
  Speaker 1: from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.
• 2:56:51
  Speaker 1: Your compassion, Lord is great. Preserve my life according to
• 2:56:55
  Speaker 1: your laws. Many of the foes who persecute me, but
• 2:56:59
  Speaker 1: I have not turned from your statutes. I look on
• 2:57:04
  Speaker 1: the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.
• 2:57:08
  Speaker 1: See how I love your precepts. Preserve my life, Lord,
• 2:57:12
  Speaker 1: in accordance with your love. All your words are true,
• 2:57:16
  Speaker 1: All your righteous laws are eternal. Rulers persecute me without cause,
• 2:57:22
  Speaker 1: but my heart trembles at your word. I rejoice in
• 2:57:26
  Speaker 1: your promise like one who finds great spoil. I hate
• 2:57:31
  Speaker 1: and detest falsehood, but I love your law. Seven times
• 2:57:37
  Speaker 1: a day, I praise you for your righteous laws. Great
• 2:57:41
  Speaker 1: peace have those who love your law, and nothing can
• 2:57:45
  Speaker 1: make them stumble. I wait for your salvation, Lord, and
• 2:57:50
  Speaker 1: I follow your commands. I obey your statutes, for I
• 2:57:53
  Speaker 1: love them greatly. I obey your precepts and your statutes.
• 2:57:58
  Speaker 1: For all my ways are known to you. May my
• 2:58:03
  Speaker 1: cry come before you, Lord, give me understanding according to
• 2:58:07
  Speaker 1: your word. May my supplication come before you deliver me
• 2:58:12
  Speaker 1: according to your promise. May my lips overflow with praise
• 2:58:17
  Speaker 1: for you teach me your decrees. May my tongue sing
• 2:58:21
  Speaker 1: of your word, for all your commands are righteous. May
• 2:58:26
  Speaker 1: your hand be ready to help me, For I have
• 2:58:29
  Speaker 1: chosen your precepts. I long for your salvation, Lord, and
• 2:58:35
  Speaker 1: your law gives me delight. Let me live that I
• 2:58:38
  Speaker 1: may praise you, and may your laws sustain me. I
• 2:58:43
  Speaker 1: have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for
• 2:58:49
  Speaker 1: I have not forgotten your commands.
