- 0:37to remember that classic Dove on distant Oaks.
- 0:40You know the one you're thinking of the melody right now, aren't
- 0:43you? No me either but I guess that
- 0:48puts us at a distinct disadvantage because today,
- 0:53today's Sam is meant to be a sung to the tune of Dove on
- 0:57distant Oaks, which is a classic Of the ancient Hebrew, top of
- 1:02the pops, we are going to read some 56 which is described as
- 1:07for the choir director, a Psalm of David regarding the time.
- 1:12The Philistines seized him in gath to be sung to the tune Dove
- 1:17on distant oks. Dear, we may not know the tune
- 1:24but we know the author. And so we are going to enjoy
- 1:28this particular Psalm 56. Oh God have mercy on me.
- 1:44Four, people are hounding me. My foes attack me all day long.

- 2:17to harm me. They come together to spy on me,
- 2:20watching my every step eager to kill me.
- 2:24Don't let them get away with their wickedness, in your anger.

- 2:32sorrows. You have collected all my tears
- 2:36in your bottle. You have recorded each one in
- 2:40your book. My enemies will Retreat.

- 2:55promised, I trust in God. So why should I be afraid?
