  Hello friends and a happy Friday to you.
• 0:17
  Our congratulations, you have made it through the week.
• 0:20
  And here we find ourselves on this day so full of promise with
• 0:25
  the weekend, just around the corner.
• 0:27
  And as is our way we are going to read a sir.
• 0:30
  Psalm together today, today, we are reading some 54 and if you
• 0:35
  were ever wondering whether God is ironic, whether whether there
• 0:39
  is Rich irony in the Bible, the title of this Psalm is just,
• 0:46
  it's a larious. I'm sorry, that's your
• 0:48
  reference, but I find it hilarious.
• 0:50
  The title for this one is for the choir director, a Psalm of
• 0:55
  David regarding the time, the zip fights came and said to
• 0:58
  Saul, we know it. David is hiding to be
• 1:01
  accompanied by stringed instruments.
• 1:05
  So as the zip fights tattle on David, and tell Saul where he's
• 1:09
  hiding, imagine stringed instruments in accompaniment,
• 1:13
  isn't it lovely? Join me, friends on this Friday.
• 1:16
  As we read together. The brief only seven verses that
• 1:20
  brief Psalm fifty four. Come with great power.
• 1:36
  Oh God! And Rescue Me.
• 1:38
  Defend me with your might listen to my prayer.
• 1:42
  Oh God! Pay attention to my plea for
• 1:46
  strangers, are attacking me violent.
• 1:49
  People are trying to kill me. They care.
• 1:52
  Nothing for God. But God is my helper.
• 1:58
  The Lord keeps me alive. May the evil plans of my enemies
• 2:03
  be turned against them. Do as you promised and put an
• 2:07
  end to them, I will sacrifice a voluntary offering to you.
• 2:13
  I will praise your name. Oh lord, for it is good for you.
• 2:18
  Have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my
• 2:23
  enemies. Jesus we know All Too Well when
• 2:36
  things go pear-shaped in our lives when it feels like people
• 2:40
  that we don't even know have it in for us and as we hear David
• 2:45
  cry out what a wonderful example, Inspire us, holy spirit
• 2:53
  Bubble Up Inside of us and point our hearts back to you that when
• 2:59
  things do go awry that, I first instinct would be to cry out to
• 3:03
  you for your help. Thank you that you are faithful
• 3:07
  as the psalm says you help us and you bring us Triumph,
• 3:12
  whatever that looks like in our lives with your intentions bent
• 3:18
  to our good. We just love you and we praise
• 3:23
  you and we thank you for your faithfulness.
• 3:28
  It's in your name that we pray, Jesus.
• 3:32
  Amen.
