May 12 - Psalm 64 · A Chapter a Day Bible Reading

• 0:12
  Hello, friends, and a happy Friday to you.
• 0:17
  It is the end of another week. And here we are to celebrate
• 0:22
  this day with a Sam. I'm Sean.
• 0:25
  And you have well, you've done well, you've clicked on play and
• 0:30
  we're going to read one together.
• 0:31
  We are in a section of the Psalms where they are all for
• 0:35
  David. And for the next couple of
• 0:37
  months, they will continue to be.
• 0:39
  This is a section where scholars believe that these were written
• 0:43
  by one of David's attendance as we go through The Narrative of
• 0:48
  Samuel. We see all the things that
• 0:50
  happened to David in his life and someone has gone through and
• 0:54
  written Assam actually in chronological order for all of
• 0:58
  these events that take place Yes, and today this is no
• 1:02
  different. This is a Sam for David as he is
• 1:05
  living through his life, people plotting against him and David
• 1:11
  responding with praise, which is such a David, such a cool thing
• 1:14
  to do. So join me as we sing this, we
• 1:18
  don't see. Sorry, don't get your hopes up.
• 1:22
  We will read together this psalm for the choir director, a Psalm
• 1:26
  of David, Psalm 64 Oh god.
• 1:40
  Listen to my complaint, protect my life.
• 1:43
  From my enemies. Threats.
• 1:45
  Hide me from the plots of this Evil mob.
• 1:48
  From The Gangs of wrongdoers. They sharpen their tongues like
• 1:53
  swords and aim, their bitter words like arrows.
• 1:58
  They shoot from Ambush at the innocent attacking suddenly and
• 2:02
  fearlessly They encourage each other to do, evil and plan how
• 2:08
  to set their traps and secret, who will ever notice.
• 2:12
  They asked as they plot their crimes, they say we have
• 2:17
  devised. The perfect plan.
• 2:19
  Yes. The human heart and mind are
• 2:22
  cunning But God himself will shoot them with his arrows,
• 2:27
  suddenly striking them down their own, tongues will ruin
• 2:32
  them and all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
• 2:36
  Then everyone will be afraid. They will proclaim the mighty
• 2:41
  acts of God and realize all the amazing things he does.
• 2:46
  The Godly will rejoice in the Lord and find shelter in him.
• 2:52
  And those who do His right will praise him.
• 3:07
  Jesus. We are no stranger to Bitter
• 3:09
  words from others. When we feel others working
• 3:14
  against us of speaking out against us, it hurts that seems
• 3:21
  unfair and wrong and often our response is just to be angry and
• 3:27
  bitter and to harden our hearts against those But soften our
• 3:33
  hearts. Lord, let us learn from David's
• 3:36
  example when things go in this unwanted Direction, he turns to
• 3:42
  you, he rejoices in you, he finds shelter in you Inspire us
• 3:49
  to do the same. Give us a presence of mind to
• 3:52
  put down our own sense of justice and to rest in you your
• 3:58
  love and your Justice. We love you.
• 4:04
  Father and I are so grateful that it's under your wings that
• 4:08
  we live in your protection. We pray all of this.
• 4:14
  In the name of Jesus, who saves us are men.
