- 1:07Speaker 1: you've opened up your Bible here on episode twenty seven
- 1:10Speaker 1: ninety eight, I know you have because when talking about
- 1:14Speaker 1: in the middle of being chastised, held accountable. Oh Lord,
- 1:20Speaker 1: do not reduce me in your anger, nor chase me
- 1:23Speaker 1: in your hot displeasure. Have mercy on me, O Lord,
- 1:27Speaker 1: for I am weak, Oh Lord, heal me. For my
- 1:31Speaker 1: bones are trouble. My soul also is greatly troubled.
- 1:36Speaker 2: But you, oh Lord, how long return?
- 1:40Speaker 1: Oh Lord? Deliver me, Oh save me, for your mercy's sake,
- 1:46Speaker 1: For in death there is no remembrance of you in
- 1:49Speaker 1: the grave. Who would give you thanks? I am weary
- 1:53Speaker 1: for my groaning. All night I make my bed swim.
- 1:56Speaker 1: I drenched my counsel with my tears. It's a way
- 2:00Speaker 1: because of grief. It grows old because of all my enemies.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity. For the
- 2:08Speaker 1: Lord has heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord
- 2:12Speaker 1: has heard my supplication. The Lord will receive my prayer.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Let all my enemies be a shamed and great your trouble.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Let them turn back and be ashamed suddenly.
- 2:25Speaker 2: So here you have, King David, I know you know
- 2:29Speaker 2: the story. You know everybody else's story. Do you know yours?
- 2:38Speaker 2: Some had called this Psalm a cry from mercy? Do
- 2:41Speaker 2: you remember? In Psalm chapter five we looked at.
- 2:46Speaker 1: All the evil in the world, the wickedness, But we
- 2:51Speaker 1: also see evil, wickedness in our own heart. To remember
- 2:54Speaker 1: the apostle Paul, you know the one you look up
- 2:57Speaker 1: to who said over in Romans seven, of the things
- 3:02Speaker 1: that I do I don't want to do, and the
- 3:06Speaker 1: things that I want to.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Do I don't do.
- 3:10Speaker 1: And remember, by time you get to Roman chapter eight,
- 3:12Speaker 1: you find how he gained a victory. Do we we're
- 3:19Speaker 1: not perfect before God, I know you are. And these
- 3:24Speaker 1: other psalms had to do with the morning in the evening,
- 3:27Speaker 1: but this one has to do with the darkest night
- 3:29Speaker 1: of our soul. Psalm five you remember was infectatory prayer.
- 3:37Speaker 1: This one is a penitential prayer psalm. It's one of
- 3:42Speaker 1: a cry for repentance, of repentance, you know, and what
- 3:47Speaker 1: change of heart turning around, because only mercy can save us.
- 3:52Speaker 2: You can't save.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Us, nor you, nor you know you, irrespective of your title,
- 4:00Speaker 1: irrespective where you live it, irrespective of skin tone, irrespective
- 4:04Speaker 1: of what's behind your title. This is a song for
- 4:11Speaker 1: all of us, you and you and you and me too,
- 4:18Speaker 1: because when you look in the world, you notice how
- 4:20Speaker 1: we're told continuously in the New Testament that God, our
- 4:23Speaker 1: loving God, heavenly Father, is rich in mercy. And do
- 4:27Speaker 1: you notice in this psalm it also calls out phrases
- 4:30Speaker 1: that Jesus himself identified with as he suffered for us
- 4:37Speaker 1: in the great comfort He's been through it himself. You
- 4:40Speaker 1: already knew that, didn't you. You're going through that challenging trial.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Remember now you are in the trial coming out of
- 4:47Speaker 1: one or waiting for him. But you're going through that
- 4:49Speaker 1: trial and you're wondering where everybody's at. You're wondering, But
- 4:54Speaker 1: God is with it. You already knew that, didn't you,
- 4:57Speaker 1: based upon your previous trials, the challenges of your faith.
- 5:03Speaker 2: He's the only one that can comfort you. Remember now, our.
- 5:06Speaker 1: Trust today is that God, our loving God, is gonna
- 5:10Speaker 1: hear and He's going to answer our prayer, especially when
- 5:13Speaker 1: we're in deep trouble. The question you got to ask
- 5:17Speaker 1: an answer in your life today, Are you in deep trouble?
- 5:22Speaker 1: Remember we have a powerful and a powerful and a power.
- 5:26Speaker 2: But I'm gonna keep saying in a good savior. You
- 5:29Speaker 2: know we do. But the question you got to ask
- 5:33Speaker 2: an answer in your own individual life. Do you have
- 5:37Speaker 2: Him in your life going through the challenge of your
- 5:41Speaker 2: faith
