00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.679
 4. Let's read.

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:18.820
 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord. O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive

00:00:18.820 --> 00:00:27.800
 to my cry for mercy. If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:38.240
 But with you there is forgiveness, therefore you are feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul

00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:46.480
 waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:53.700
 for the morning, more than the watchmen wait for the morning. O Israel, put your hope in

00:00:53.700 --> 00:01:03.940
 the Lord. For with the Lord is unfailing love, and with him is full redemption. He himself

00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:07.980
 will redeem Israel from all their sins.

00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:15.800
 Well, I'm going to ask Michael. He's going to come up now and preach this morning.

00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:35.859
 Well, before we look at this psalm, let's pray together. Lord, we thank you that you've

00:01:35.859 --> 00:01:44.420
 given us your word. We thank you for the words of the psalmist all those years ago. We pray,

00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:50.900
 O Lord, that you will speak to each one of us as individuals and corporately as we look

00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:58.219
 together at these ancient words, that they might become relevant to our own lives, to our

00:01:58.219 --> 00:02:06.520
 own experience. And we pray, O Father God, that if we are in the depths this morning as the psalmist

00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:17.819
 was, so we will put our hope in the Lord. Lord, help us to this end, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:02:17.819 --> 00:02:29.599
 Amen. Well, Psalm 130 is a psalm we're looking at, and I'm told that it was Luther's, one of Luther's

00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:36.659
 favorite psalms. He liked this psalm very much. He was prone to despair with all the things that

00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:44.079
 were going on at the time of the Reformation and all the battles he had to fight. And so he often

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:54.240
 found himself in the depths. Another writer has spoken about this psalm as being like steps to heaven.

00:02:55.580 --> 00:03:04.640
 He likens the psalm to a spiritual barometer. You know, before we had the internet and we could look

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:12.920
 up the five-day forecast, you had the barometer and it marked the pressures that were going on and

00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:22.219
 what the weather was likely to be over the coming days. Well, certainly the psalmist begins right in

00:03:22.219 --> 00:03:31.579
 the depths. Spiritually, things are very, very low. It's as though, spiritually speaking, the clouds are

00:03:31.579 --> 00:03:40.679
 touching the ground. And out of those depths, he cries to the Lord. He cries to his God.

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:48.980
 But you also notice, as you look at this psalm, that there is not just that spiritual barometer,

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:59.580
 but there is also the progression in the psalm. Because as the psalmist comes to the end of this

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:08.480
 short psalm, he is in heaven, as it were, as he looks for that full redemption that the Lord will

00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:16.699
 redeem Israel from all their sins. So he has come through the darkness of the first verse

00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:24.579
 to the unfailing love of the Lord and the full redemption that is promised to all God's people

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:30.719
 in the glory of heaven. It's a song of ascent.

00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:38.460
 You know, these were psalms that were sung as the pilgrims made their way up to Jerusalem.

00:04:39.320 --> 00:04:44.120
 There's a number of them here, all linked together, a song of ascent.

00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:52.440
 They were sung by the pilgrims as they made their way up to Jerusalem at the various festivals,

00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:59.640
 at Passover, for example. This was a psalm that would have been sung by Jesus himself as he made his way

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:07.699
 up to the temple. He also would have been singing along with David of old and the other psalmists

00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:16.099
 who penned these psalms. And it is a song of progression. It is a song of ascent. There's a

00:05:16.099 --> 00:05:25.740
 rising note in it. Out of the depths I cry. And then the redemption of Israel. And I thought of the

00:05:25.740 --> 00:05:33.660
 Lord Jesus singing this psalm and how he would have thought about it. He would cry out of the depths.

00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:42.620
 If there be any other way, let this cup pass from me, we're told. And his sweat was like drops of

00:05:42.620 --> 00:05:53.379
 blood falling to the ground. Out of the depths he cried. Not because of sin, but for your sins and for

00:05:53.379 --> 00:06:03.680
 my sins he cried out. And he knew that through his death there would be that full redemption. He would

00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:14.560
 redeem Israel from all their sins. So it's a psalm of ascent. It's a psalm that rises. And I trust as we

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:21.180
 go through it, we too will rise, as it were, with wings like eagles. And we shall run and not be weary

00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:28.780
 and walk and not faint. So let's divide the psalm. And we're going to divide it into four parts. And they

00:06:28.779 --> 00:06:38.899
 divide easily for us into two verses each. The first part is desiring. And we have that in verses

00:06:38.899 --> 00:06:48.979
 one and two. And I think we have here the desire of true prayer to God. Well, what was happening to the

00:06:48.979 --> 00:06:56.919
 psalmist as he penned these words? Well, we can't be absolutely certain, but certainly there was a trial of

00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:08.460
 one sort or another. Perhaps he was surrounded by enemies. Perhaps death stared him in the face. Perhaps there was a

00:07:08.460 --> 00:07:19.120
 pressure of family life. Perhaps there was illness. Perhaps there were national difficulties if David is the

00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:29.040
 psalmist. All of these were the psalmist. All of these were reasons for him to cry out to God. But I think the

00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:38.220
 emphasis lies in another direction. I think in some way or another he had failed the Lord. There was sin in his

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:46.560
 life. I think there was something that had happened, something that he had done that caused him to cry out from the

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:59.040
 depths of his being in true prayer as he desires God to intervene because of this sin that was in his life.

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:09.959
 And as he prays, we learn something of what it means to cry out to God as we sin and as we fail him.

00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:26.439
 Notice that his prayer here is fervent. I cry to you. He desires God. His desire is directed to God, to you, O Lord.

00:08:28.159 --> 00:08:37.179
 Now we have the slogans, don't we? Prayer changes things. We hear about the power of prayer.

00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:44.679
 But so often when faith is weak, particularly when we are in the depths,

00:08:46.179 --> 00:08:56.379
 we find it perhaps difficult to pray. And sometimes at that particular time the Spirit intercedes for us

00:08:56.379 --> 00:09:06.479
 with groanings that can't be uttered. But the Lord knows our hearts. And he knows there is this desire

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:16.460
 to seek him to seek him to you, O Lord. It's not our prayers that will change the situation. It is God who

00:09:16.460 --> 00:09:30.460
 changes situation. It is God who intervenes on our behalf when we are in the depths. He's desiring God to do it.

00:09:30.460 --> 00:09:40.440
 As he comes, he sees who God is. He is the Lord. He is Jehovah. He is the Creator. He is the One of Almighty

00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:53.460
 power. And as he cries, he says, O Lord, hear my voice. And he's absolutely dependent.

00:09:53.460 --> 00:10:04.840
 He needs mercy. And only the Lord can provide that mercy. So we have, first of all, the desire of true

00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:14.780
 prayer. But then there's this desire that I want to emphasize to be heard. He wants to be heard above

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:25.939
 everything else. He's a little bit like that blind man that we read of in Luke chapter 18 and verses 35 to 43.

00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:35.759
 He has heard about Jesus. People were speaking about Jesus. And he desires the Lord Jesus because he is

00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:48.779
 passing by. And he cries out because he wants to see. But others are saying, be quiet. Don't disturb him.

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:55.779
 Don't make this fuss. But he cries out all the more. He won't be silent because he's desperate.

00:10:55.779 --> 00:11:08.659
 And that's the psalmist in the depths. Oh, Lord, hear my voice. Let your ear be attentive to my cry for mercy.

00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:24.120
 He wants to be heard above everything else. Spurgeon has a little remark in his commentary on this psalm by saying this.

00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:34.259
 It is all we ask. It is all we ask. And nothing less will content us. If the Lord will but hear us,

00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:46.360
 we will leave it to his superior wisdom to decide whether he answers us or no. It is better for our prayer to be heard

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:58.080
 than answered. Have you ever thought of that? Sometimes we can ask for all the wrong reasons, can't we? And when we're in the depths,

00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:08.440
 the Lord is teaching us. And he may not always bring us out of the depths. But in those depths, he is teaching us.

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:18.480
 And he allows us to go through these difficulties, these trials that we might learn of him. But he is hearing us.

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:27.520
 And if he is saying no to our requests, it is because of his superior wisdom.

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:41.100
 So the psalmist's desire is that he might be heard. And notice too, in these verses, it's a desire that continues.

00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:46.659
 Now in our NIVs, his prayers are in the singular.

00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:52.079
 Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.

00:12:54.019 --> 00:12:57.259
 If you have the ESV in front of you, it says this.

00:12:57.740 --> 00:13:03.399
 Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy.

00:13:04.839 --> 00:13:07.360
 And if you have the authorized version, it says,

00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:12.360
 Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.

00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.120
 In other words, it's not just one fleeting prayer.

00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.800
 In the depths, he is crying out. And he's crying out again.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.740
 And he's crying out the more.

00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:26.000
 That the Lord will hear him.

00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.180
 That the Lord will come to his aid.

00:13:30.500 --> 00:13:37.060
 It is, if you like, the asking and the seeking and the knocking of prayer.

00:13:37.059 --> 00:13:42.879
 Nothing will satisfy him apart from the Lord.

00:13:44.259 --> 00:13:47.799
 He knows, even though he is in the depths, that God is gracious.

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:49.739
 That God is merciful.

00:13:50.219 --> 00:13:52.419
 That his mercies are new every day.

00:13:52.699 --> 00:13:54.599
 And he desires that mercy.

00:13:57.219 --> 00:13:58.759
 How it will be shown.

00:14:00.099 --> 00:14:02.519
 Well, he's content to leave that with God.

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:06.559
 But he keeps on calling out.

00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:11.360
 How great is our desire for God.

00:14:13.439 --> 00:14:19.419
 Are we a people that cast our cares upon the Lord?

00:14:20.579 --> 00:14:23.779
 Do we long to be heard?

00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.120
 And how consistent is our praying?

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:34.000
 Do we cry to him in the depths?

00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:36.480
 Do we desire him?

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:39.100
 And if we're correct,

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:42.820
 that this is a psalm that was written

00:14:42.820 --> 00:14:46.139
 because of some sin on his part,

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:50.419
 do we see the seriousness of sin

00:14:50.419 --> 00:14:54.779
 that will want us to call out to him

00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:57.860
 that we might know his forgiveness

00:14:57.860 --> 00:15:02.180
 because we have sinned against him.

00:15:03.340 --> 00:15:07.440
 And perhaps we don't call out sometimes like the psalmist

00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:13.039
 because we have failed to see the seriousness of sin.

00:15:15.139 --> 00:15:16.980
 David elsewhere says,

00:15:16.980 --> 00:15:21.720
 Against thee, you only have I sinned.

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:26.180
 So there's a desiring of prayer

00:15:26.180 --> 00:15:29.040
 in verses 1 and 2.

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:33.259
 Secondly, we have him reflecting

00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:36.019
 in verses 3 and 4.

00:15:36.680 --> 00:15:37.940
 To you, O Lord,

00:15:38.040 --> 00:15:40.620
 if you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,

00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:42.360
 O Lord, who could stand?

00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:44.960
 But with you there is forgiveness,

00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:47.500
 therefore you are feared.

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:50.019
 He's in the depths,

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:52.759
 almost certainly because of sin.

00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:55.000
 The temptation, of course,

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:56.700
 would be for him to despair.

00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.039
 God will never listen to me.

00:16:00.379 --> 00:16:02.120
 But the psalmist does know

00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.860
 something of the grace of God

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:07.000
 and he reflects upon that in verse 3.

00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:10.879
 If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.639
 O Lord, who can stand?

00:16:13.639 --> 00:16:18.039
 And he knows the answer to that question.

00:16:19.299 --> 00:16:20.699
 He answers, in effect,

00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:22.500
 that nobody could stand.

00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:26.480
 He's conscious, you see, of his own sins.

00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:28.960
 He's in the depths because of them.

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:32.740
 And he's also aware of God's holiness

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:36.299
 and his own unrighteousness.

00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:41.059
 How can he come before God?

00:16:41.059 --> 00:16:43.839
 How can he stand

00:16:43.839 --> 00:16:46.979
 before the Lord God Almighty?

00:16:48.659 --> 00:16:51.159
 You see, it's not just his present sins,

00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:52.319
 whatever they were.

00:16:53.479 --> 00:16:55.399
 They're all his past sins.

00:16:56.699 --> 00:16:58.519
 And the list is long.

00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:01.839
 He could go back and think of his childhood

00:17:01.839 --> 00:17:07.319
 and how he'd failed the Lord in his childhood.

00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:10.639
 He could look at his adolescence.

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:14.059
 And he could see the depth of his sins,

00:17:14.159 --> 00:17:15.299
 how far he had gone.

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:17.879
 And as an adult,

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.720
 he had failed the Lord again and again.

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:26.419
 O Lord, if you kept a record of my sins,

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:27.839
 O Lord, who could stand?

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:29.440
 The list is long.

00:17:29.700 --> 00:17:30.960
 No one could stand.

00:17:31.679 --> 00:17:33.279
 But there's no one that does good,

00:17:33.539 --> 00:17:34.839
 not even one.

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:37.119
 Not one sin.

00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.539
 A past the eye of God.

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:43.339
 For he is the omniscient one.

00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.240
 He sees all and knows all.

00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:53.019
 What hope does he have of God hearing his voice?

00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:56.920
 If every time he cried to God,

00:17:57.160 --> 00:17:58.900
 God took out his book

00:17:58.900 --> 00:18:02.319
 and recited his sins and his failures.

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:05.339
 And the same would be true

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:07.299
 of every one of us here this morning.

00:18:07.639 --> 00:18:09.539
 What hope would we have?

00:18:10.099 --> 00:18:11.379
 Who could stand?

00:18:11.679 --> 00:18:13.200
 No, we're all guilty.

00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:15.059
 We've all fallen short.

00:18:15.059 --> 00:18:19.519
 But there's the grace of God

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.240
 and he reflects upon this.

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.480
 You see, he's not coming

00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:24.960
 to plead his righteousness,

00:18:25.419 --> 00:18:26.319
 his own righteousness,

00:18:26.579 --> 00:18:27.339
 for he has none.

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:30.980
 He's not come pleading his own good works.

00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:33.599
 His hope

00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.220
 is in the graciousness of Jehovah,

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:38.720
 his God.

00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:38.720


00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.539
 The one who wipes the slate

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:44.559
 completely clean.

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:48.339
 The psalmist

00:18:48.339 --> 00:18:51.579
 would have thought of the sacrifices

00:18:51.579 --> 00:18:52.620
 that were made.

00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.620
 Perhaps he would think of the Day of Atonement

00:18:56.620 --> 00:18:57.779
 and the priest

00:18:57.779 --> 00:19:00.180
 laying his hand on the scapegoat

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:01.680
 and that scapegoat

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.079
 being released into the wilderness.

00:19:06.120 --> 00:19:07.380
 Perhaps he would think of

00:19:07.380 --> 00:19:08.740
 a personal sacrifice

00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:09.700
 that he had taken

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:10.900
 to the temple.

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.880
 And his sins

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.060
 had been laid upon that bullock.

00:19:16.780 --> 00:19:17.500
 And the bullock

00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:18.640
 had been slaughtered

00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:19.800
 in his place.

00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:23.640
 Yes, God was a God of grace

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:25.620
 and the sacrificial system

00:19:25.620 --> 00:19:27.200
 pointed to that.

00:19:29.540 --> 00:19:31.000
 But again and again

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:32.460
 the psalmists, of course,

00:19:32.860 --> 00:19:34.360
 look forward to the coming

00:19:34.360 --> 00:19:35.320
 of the Messiah.

00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:35.439
 Messiah.

00:19:37.899 --> 00:19:39.179
 As Psalm 22

00:19:39.179 --> 00:19:41.879
 they pierced his hands

00:19:41.879 --> 00:19:43.799
 and his feet.

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:47.079
 And it is on this basis

00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:50.159
 that we can come.

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.339
 And as the psalmist

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:53.019
 look forward

00:19:53.019 --> 00:19:54.299
 to the coming of Christ

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:55.619
 so we look back

00:19:55.619 --> 00:19:57.500
 and see that Christ has come.

00:19:58.059 --> 00:19:59.519
 That grace might be given

00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:00.579
 to you and me.

00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:01.839
 And that the slate

00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:03.019
 can be wiped clean.

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:05.220
 So that even when we sin

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:05.900
 and fail

00:20:05.900 --> 00:20:07.799
 after we become Christians

00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:09.579
 there is forgiveness

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.900
 for us.

00:20:13.379 --> 00:20:15.279
 Oh that we might reflect

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.440
 upon God's graciousness.

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:20.619
 That we might marvel

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:21.500
 to this morning

00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:22.779
 that he is ready

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:24.599
 to hear our cries

00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:26.259
 from the depths.

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.879
 Oh that we might marvel

00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:30.900
 that we can come

00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:31.820
 before him

00:20:31.820 --> 00:20:34.400
 in the righteousness

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:35.520
 of the Lord

00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:37.000
 Jesus Christ.

00:20:37.700 --> 00:20:38.700
 Conscious yes

00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:39.480
 of our sin

00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:40.600
 but conscious

00:20:40.600 --> 00:20:42.100
 also of the fact

00:20:42.100 --> 00:20:44.780
 that the Lord

00:20:44.780 --> 00:20:46.080
 is there for us.

00:20:48.580 --> 00:20:49.380
 You see

00:20:49.380 --> 00:20:51.400
 as he meditates

00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:52.440
 upon these things

00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:53.640
 as he reflects

00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.200
 on God's graciousness

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.620
 he also sees

00:20:57.620 --> 00:20:58.840
 wonderfully

00:20:58.840 --> 00:20:59.799
 the forgiveness

00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:00.559
 of God.

00:21:01.860 --> 00:21:02.819
 For with you

00:21:02.819 --> 00:21:03.580
 he says

00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:05.039
 in verse 4

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:06.500
 there is forgiveness

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:07.940
 therefore

00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:08.819
 you

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.819
 are

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:10.640
 feared.

00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.480
 He plumbed

00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.039
 the depths

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:13.779
 of sin

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.700
 but God

00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:15.340
 is gracious

00:21:15.340 --> 00:21:15.960
 and because

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:16.680
 he is gracious

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.860
 he forgives

00:21:17.860 --> 00:21:18.460
 utterly

00:21:18.460 --> 00:21:19.700
 and completely.

00:21:19.700 --> 00:21:23.720
 he reflects

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.160
 that this forgiveness

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:26.880
 is there

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.700
 to be had

00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:30.740
 and he needed it.

00:21:32.480 --> 00:21:33.420
 And because

00:21:33.420 --> 00:21:34.620
 God was gracious

00:21:34.620 --> 00:21:35.460
 he was ready

00:21:35.460 --> 00:21:36.680
 to give it.

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:39.660
 Does that mean

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:40.720
 that he is blasé

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.140
 about this forgiveness?

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:43.539
 No

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:44.660
 on the contrary

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:46.100
 there is a sense

00:21:46.100 --> 00:21:46.680
 of all

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:48.360
 there is forgiveness

00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:49.240
 therefore

00:21:49.240 --> 00:21:50.079
 you

00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:50.619
 are

00:21:50.619 --> 00:21:51.459
 feared.

00:21:53.019 --> 00:21:54.079
 The fear

00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:54.619
 of God

00:21:54.619 --> 00:21:55.799
 is sensible

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.399
 as he reflects

00:21:57.399 --> 00:21:58.639
 on God's grace

00:21:58.639 --> 00:21:59.919
 so there is

00:21:59.919 --> 00:22:00.740
 this sensible

00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:02.159
 this reverence

00:22:02.159 --> 00:22:03.059
 that the Lord

00:22:03.059 --> 00:22:03.719
 of heaven

00:22:03.719 --> 00:22:04.699
 and earth

00:22:04.699 --> 00:22:05.779
 should be ready

00:22:05.779 --> 00:22:07.059
 to hear his cry

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:07.819
 from the depths

00:22:07.819 --> 00:22:09.039
 he marvels

00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:10.079
 and he wonders

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:11.299
 and he

00:22:11.299 --> 00:22:13.000
 worships.

00:22:14.719 --> 00:22:15.740
 Have you ever

00:22:15.740 --> 00:22:16.359
 reflected

00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.179
 upon the grace

00:22:18.179 --> 00:22:18.799
 of God

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:19.819
 in your life?

00:22:21.419 --> 00:22:22.219
 Have you

00:22:22.219 --> 00:22:22.899
 meditated

00:22:22.899 --> 00:22:24.779
 on the wonder

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:26.359
 of forgiveness?

00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:29.699
 That an all

00:22:29.699 --> 00:22:30.699
 holy God

00:22:30.699 --> 00:22:34.079
 should love you

00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:34.859
 in Christ

00:22:34.859 --> 00:22:37.459
 and should be

00:22:37.459 --> 00:22:38.419
 ready to forgive

00:22:38.419 --> 00:22:39.319
 you utterly

00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:40.339
 and completely?

00:22:42.019 --> 00:22:42.779
 Does this

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:43.459
 cause you

00:22:43.459 --> 00:22:44.339
 to be happy?

00:22:44.339 --> 00:22:47.819
 yes it does

00:22:47.819 --> 00:22:48.439
 I'm sure

00:22:48.439 --> 00:22:51.599
 but does it

00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.519
 conjure up

00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:53.379
 this sense

00:22:53.379 --> 00:22:54.059
 of awe

00:22:54.059 --> 00:22:54.859
 and worship

00:22:54.859 --> 00:22:56.839
 that God

00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:57.919
 should love

00:22:57.919 --> 00:22:59.159
 sinners

00:22:59.159 --> 00:22:59.879
 like

00:22:59.879 --> 00:23:00.679
 ourselves?

00:23:02.679 --> 00:23:03.379
 Oh

00:23:03.379 --> 00:23:03.980
 that the

00:23:03.980 --> 00:23:04.859
 spirit of God

00:23:04.859 --> 00:23:05.480
 would work

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:06.259
 in our lives

00:23:06.259 --> 00:23:06.759
 that we

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:07.939
 might desire

00:23:07.939 --> 00:23:08.619
 this God

00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:09.199
 more

00:23:09.199 --> 00:23:11.279
 and that we

00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:12.220
 might reflect

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:13.460
 more and more

00:23:13.460 --> 00:23:15.180
 upon his

00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:15.700
 grace

00:23:15.700 --> 00:23:17.500
 and the

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:18.140
 wonder of

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:18.420
 his

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:19.100
 forgiveness

00:23:19.100 --> 00:23:22.279
 but thirdly

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:23.700
 there's the

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:24.559
 waiting

00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.860
 verses 5

00:23:26.860 --> 00:23:27.700
 and 6

00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:29.039
 I

00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:29.640
 wait

00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:30.160
 for the

00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:30.500
 Lord

00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:31.559
 my soul

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:32.039
 waits

00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:32.779
 and in his

00:23:32.779 --> 00:23:33.160
 word

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:33.920
 I put

00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:34.680
 my hope

00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:35.700
 my soul

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.180
 waits

00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:36.579
 for the

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:36.819
 Lord

00:23:36.819 --> 00:23:37.680
 more than

00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:38.259
 watchmen

00:23:38.259 --> 00:23:38.900
 wait for

00:23:38.900 --> 00:23:39.319
 the morning

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:40.319
 more than

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:40.980
 watchmen

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:41.579
 wait

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:42.159
 for

00:23:42.159 --> 00:23:42.519
 the

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:42.919
 morning

00:23:42.919 --> 00:23:47.240
 he's

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:47.740
 waiting

00:23:47.740 --> 00:23:48.799
 in hope

00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:49.899
 verse 5

00:23:49.899 --> 00:23:51.159
 I

00:23:51.159 --> 00:23:51.500
 wait

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:51.859
 for the

00:23:51.859 --> 00:23:52.099
 Lord

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:52.720
 my soul

00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:53.139
 waits

00:23:53.139 --> 00:23:53.519
 and in

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:53.700
 his

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.059
 word

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:54.379
 I

00:23:54.379 --> 00:23:54.779
 put

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.059
 my

00:23:55.059 --> 00:23:55.379
 hope

00:23:55.379 --> 00:23:55.759
 you

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:55.939
 see

00:23:55.939 --> 00:23:56.139
 the

00:23:56.139 --> 00:23:56.759
 progress

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.079
 he's

00:26:25.039 --> 00:26:25.460
 away

00:26:25.460 --> 00:26:25.839
 into

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:26.119
 a

 far

00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:26.960
 country

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:27.440

00:26:27.900 --> 00:26:28.180
 get

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:28.779
 difficult

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.519
 when

 you

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:29.840
 have

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:45.500
 so

00:26:45.500 --> 00:26:45.819
 what's

00:26:45.819 --> 00:26:45.960
 the

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:47.779
 waiting

00:26:47.779 --> 00:26:48.380
 in

00:26:48.380 --> 00:26:49.000
 hope

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.680
 because

00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:51.100
 of

 God's

00:26:51.620 --> 00:26:52.380
 word

00:26:56.420 --> 00:26:56.799
 hope

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.099
 as

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:57.480
 well

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.139
 we

00:26:59.139 --> 00:26:59.399
 have

00:26:59.399 --> 00:26:59.759
 much

00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:00.159
 more

00:27:00.159 --> 00:27:00.460

 he

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:14.500
 is

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:14.960
 faithful

 well

00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:30.980
 he's

00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:38.940
 to

00:28:38.940 --> 00:28:39.220
 a bit

00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:39.380
 of

00:28:39.380 --> 00:28:39.680
 shut

00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:40.019
 eye

00:28:40.019 --> 00:28:41.080
 he

00:28:42.360 --> 00:28:43.640
 so

00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:43.819
 you

00:28:43.819 --> 00:28:44.000
 can

00:28:44.000 --> 00:28:44.319
 see

00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:44.580
 him

00:28:44.580 --> 00:28:44.960
 waiting

00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:45.299
 with

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:46.000
 anticipation

00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:47.019
 for the

00:28:47.019 --> 00:28:47.420
 morning

00:28:47.420 --> 00:28:47.960
 for the

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.440
 dawn

00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:48.980
 of a

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:49.460
 new

00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:50.019

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:53.940
 perhaps

00:28:53.940 --> 00:28:54.220
 you know

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:54.579
 what it's

00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:54.980
 like to

00:28:54.980 --> 00:28:55.519
 be like

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:55.799
 that

00:28:55.799 --> 00:28:56.359
 washman

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:59.960
 some of

00:28:59.960 --> 00:29:00.279
 you I

00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:00.660
 know will

00:29:00.660 --> 00:29:01.059
 have sat

00:29:01.059 --> 00:29:01.500
 by the

00:29:01.500 --> 00:29:01.859
 side

00:29:01.859 --> 00:29:02.940
 of a

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:03.220
 bed

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:04.740
 of someone

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:05.359
 you love

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.460
 who is

00:29:06.460 --> 00:29:07.240
 near death

00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:09.859
 and the

00:29:09.859 --> 00:29:10.079
 night

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:10.779
 goes by

00:29:10.779 --> 00:29:11.620
 and you

00:29:11.620 --> 00:29:12.000
 hear the

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:12.380
 breathing

00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:12.859
 and it

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:13.640
 seems to

00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:13.980
 be getting

00:29:13.980 --> 00:29:14.460
 weaker

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:17.440
 what you're

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:17.660
 doing

00:29:17.660 --> 00:29:18.079
 you're

00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:18.900
 longing

00:29:18.900 --> 00:29:19.480
 for the

00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:19.859
 morning

00:29:19.859 --> 00:29:23.220
 time

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:23.599
 can't

00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:24.019
 go by

00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:24.400
 quick

00:29:24.400 --> 00:29:24.799
 enough

00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:26.859
 it's a

00:29:26.859 --> 00:29:27.440
 difficult

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.120
 time

00:29:28.120 --> 00:29:30.579
 well the

00:29:30.579 --> 00:29:31.180
 psalmist

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.019
 would

00:29:32.019 --> 00:29:32.759
 understand

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.500
 the feelings

00:29:33.500 --> 00:29:34.120
 of somebody

00:29:34.120 --> 00:29:34.720
 who's been

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:35.200
 at that

00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:35.700
 particular

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.319
 position

00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:38.920
 but then

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:39.500
 the psalmist

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:40.080
 takes us

00:29:40.080 --> 00:29:40.740
 up to a

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.400
 new level

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:43.840
 my soul

00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:45.080
 longs

00:29:45.080 --> 00:29:45.700
 waits for

00:29:45.700 --> 00:29:46.180
 the lord

00:29:46.180 --> 00:29:47.799
 more

00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:48.360
 than

00:29:48.360 --> 00:29:49.019
 watchman

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:51.400
 for the

00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:51.740
 morning

00:29:51.740 --> 00:29:53.680
 and then

00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:54.480
 in case you

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:55.220
 haven't heard

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:56.100
 him correctly

00:29:56.100 --> 00:29:56.420
 he says

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:57.299
 I know

00:29:57.299 --> 00:29:57.720
 what I'm

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.360
 saying

00:29:58.359 --> 00:29:59.339
 I know

00:29:59.339 --> 00:30:00.119
 the watchman

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.079
 waits for

00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:01.479
 the morning

00:30:01.479 --> 00:30:02.479
 and longs

00:30:02.479 --> 00:30:02.759
 for the

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:02.979
 morning

00:30:02.979 --> 00:30:04.199
 and anticipates

00:30:04.199 --> 00:30:04.759
 the morning

00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:06.899
 I am

00:30:06.899 --> 00:30:07.359
 longing

00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:08.399
 even more

00:30:08.399 --> 00:30:09.319
 than that

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:12.459
 my soul

00:30:12.459 --> 00:30:13.639
 waits for

00:30:13.639 --> 00:30:14.079
 the lord

00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:15.119
 more than

00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:15.759
 watchmen

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:16.500
 wait for

00:30:16.500 --> 00:30:17.039
 the morning

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:18.659
 repeating

00:30:18.659 --> 00:30:19.359
 himself

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:20.519
 emphasizing

00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:22.599
 that he's

00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:23.179
 waiting for

00:30:23.179 --> 00:30:23.639
 the lord

00:30:23.639 --> 00:30:24.599
 to intervene

00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:25.419
 on his

00:30:25.419 --> 00:30:26.039
 behalf

00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.099
 we think

00:30:30.099 --> 00:30:30.480
 of those

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:31.539
 old testament

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:32.259
 saints

00:30:32.259 --> 00:30:33.899
 how they

00:30:33.899 --> 00:30:34.700
 were waiting

00:30:34.700 --> 00:30:35.700
 and longing

00:30:35.700 --> 00:30:36.980
 for the

00:30:36.980 --> 00:30:37.599
 messiah

00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:38.480
 to come

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:39.740
 I think

00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:40.279
 of old

00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:40.960
 simeon

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:42.420
 as he

00:30:42.420 --> 00:30:43.140
 was waiting

00:30:43.140 --> 00:30:43.680
 for the

00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:44.400
 messiah

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:45.500
 he saw

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:46.220
 israel

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:46.660
 in their

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:47.299
 condition

00:30:47.299 --> 00:30:47.799
 in their

00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:48.640
 helplessness

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:49.160
 and in

00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:49.380
 their

00:30:49.380 --> 00:30:50.319
 hopelessness

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:50.860
 but he

00:30:50.860 --> 00:30:51.620
 was waiting

00:30:51.620 --> 00:30:52.340
 in hope

00:30:52.340 --> 00:30:52.880
 he was

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:53.299
 waiting

00:30:53.299 --> 00:30:53.620
 with

00:30:53.620 --> 00:30:54.340
 anticipation

00:30:54.340 --> 00:30:55.279
 he was

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:55.900
 longing

00:30:55.900 --> 00:30:56.620
 because the

00:30:56.620 --> 00:30:56.900
 lord

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.480
 had told

00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:57.660
 him

00:30:57.660 --> 00:30:58.120
 that he

00:30:58.120 --> 00:30:58.700
 would not

00:30:58.700 --> 00:30:59.319
 see death

00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:00.140
 before he

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:00.620
 had seen

00:31:00.620 --> 00:31:01.360
 the lord's

00:31:01.360 --> 00:31:01.860
 christ

00:31:01.859 --> 00:31:03.959
 but then

00:31:03.959 --> 00:31:04.579
 the morning

00:31:04.579 --> 00:31:05.379
 came

00:31:05.379 --> 00:31:07.179
 now let

00:31:07.179 --> 00:31:07.939
 your servant

00:31:07.939 --> 00:31:09.119
 depart in

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:09.459
 peace

00:31:09.459 --> 00:31:10.139
 for mine

00:31:10.139 --> 00:31:10.759
 eyes have

00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:11.159
 seen

00:31:11.159 --> 00:31:12.019
 your

00:31:12.019 --> 00:31:13.299
 salvation

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:18.539
 way back

00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:18.839
 in the

00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:19.639
 old testament

00:31:19.639 --> 00:31:20.379
 isaiah

00:31:20.379 --> 00:31:22.039
 was also

00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:22.779
 waiting for

00:31:22.779 --> 00:31:23.240
 the lord

00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:24.699
 and this

00:31:24.699 --> 00:31:25.019
 is what

00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:25.519
 he says

00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:26.139
 in isaiah

00:31:26.139 --> 00:31:26.639
 40

00:31:26.639 --> 00:31:27.159
 and verse

00:31:27.159 --> 00:31:27.740
 31

00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:29.200
 those who

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:29.680
 hope

00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:30.400
 or those

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:31.059
 who wait

00:31:31.059 --> 00:31:31.779
 in the

00:31:31.779 --> 00:31:32.120
 lord

00:31:32.120 --> 00:31:33.839
 will renew

00:31:33.839 --> 00:31:34.799
 their strength

00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:35.519
 they will

00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:36.319
 soar on

00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:37.079
 wings like

00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:37.519
 eagles

00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:37.960
 they will

00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:38.359
 run

00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.960
 and not

00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:39.539
 be weary

00:31:39.539 --> 00:31:40.380
 they will

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:41.039
 walk

00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:42.539
 and not

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:43.640
 be faint

00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.160
 a friend

00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:46.620
 of mine

00:31:46.620 --> 00:31:47.059
 was

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:47.740
 preaching

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:48.400
 on this

00:31:48.400 --> 00:31:49.000
 particular

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.440
 verse

00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.539
 and he

00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:53.099
 was thinking

00:31:53.099 --> 00:31:53.519
 of the

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:54.220
 depths

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:55.819
 of which

00:31:55.819 --> 00:31:56.220
 we can

00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:56.700
 sink

00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:58.519
 and when

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.720
 we are

00:31:58.720 --> 00:31:59.100
 in the

00:31:59.100 --> 00:31:59.620
 depths

00:31:59.620 --> 00:32:00.940
 we cry

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:01.519
 out to

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:01.920
 god

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:03.120
 and we

00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:03.559
 meditate

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:04.340
 upon his

00:32:04.340 --> 00:32:04.660
 grace

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:05.220
 and we

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:06.039
 wait upon

00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:06.360
 him

00:32:06.360 --> 00:32:08.059
 and as

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:08.759
 we wait

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:09.460
 upon him

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:10.400
 and trust

00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:11.160
 in him

00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:12.420
 and the

00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:13.100
 wonder of

00:32:13.100 --> 00:32:13.319
 his

00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:13.840
 forgiveness

00:32:13.840 --> 00:32:15.000
 we mount

00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:15.539
 up with

00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:16.299
 wings as

00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:16.660
 eagles

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:17.620
 and what's

00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:18.140
 a mountain

00:32:18.140 --> 00:32:19.340
 to an

00:32:19.340 --> 00:32:19.620
 eagle

00:32:19.620 --> 00:32:21.400
 it's

00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:21.700
 nothing

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:22.220
 is it

00:32:22.220 --> 00:32:24.100
 and the

00:32:24.100 --> 00:32:24.840
 lord lifts

00:32:24.840 --> 00:32:25.380
 us up

00:32:25.380 --> 00:32:26.220
 in his

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:26.680
 grace

00:32:26.680 --> 00:32:27.779
 and in

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:28.019
 his

00:32:28.019 --> 00:32:28.400
 goodness

00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:31.539
 so there's

00:32:31.539 --> 00:32:32.299
 the desiring

00:32:32.299 --> 00:32:32.779
 of the

00:32:32.779 --> 00:32:33.180
 psalmist

00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:33.500
 there's

00:32:33.500 --> 00:32:34.200
 the reflecting

00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:34.660
 of the

00:32:34.660 --> 00:32:35.000
 psalmist

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:35.539
 there's

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:36.039
 the waiting

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.519
 of the

00:32:36.519 --> 00:32:36.940
 psalmist

00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:38.980
 and finally

00:32:38.980 --> 00:32:40.080
 there's

00:32:40.080 --> 00:32:41.039
 the exhorting

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:41.940
 of the

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:42.460
 psalmist

00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:43.380
 in verses

00:32:43.380 --> 00:32:44.060
 7

00:32:44.060 --> 00:32:45.500
 and 8

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:46.839
 oh

00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:46.839


00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:47.400
 Israel

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.680
 put your

00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:49.180
 hope

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:49.799
 in the

00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:50.119
 lord

00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:50.920
 for with

00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:51.460
 the lord

00:32:51.460 --> 00:32:52.480
 is unfailing

00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:52.859
 love

00:32:52.859 --> 00:32:53.700
 and with

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:54.039
 him

00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:54.819
 is full

00:32:54.819 --> 00:32:55.559
 redemption

00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:57.160
 he himself

00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:58.079
 will redeem

00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:58.660
 Israel

00:32:58.660 --> 00:32:59.940
 from all

00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:01.039
 their sins

00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.659
 first

00:33:03.659 --> 00:33:04.079
 first of all

00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:04.619
 in this

00:33:04.619 --> 00:33:06.019
 exhortation

00:33:06.019 --> 00:33:06.500
 it's a

00:33:06.500 --> 00:33:07.159
 call to

00:33:07.159 --> 00:33:07.839
 Israel

00:33:07.839 --> 00:33:09.279
 and you

00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:09.879
 notice how

00:33:09.879 --> 00:33:10.579
 the emphasis

00:33:10.579 --> 00:33:11.899
 changes here

00:33:11.899 --> 00:33:13.500
 he's been

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:14.200
 saying through

00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:14.920
 the psalm

00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:17.060
 I cry

00:33:17.060 --> 00:33:18.600
 my voice

00:33:18.600 --> 00:33:20.120
 I wait

00:33:20.120 --> 00:33:21.880
 my soul

00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:23.240
 he's

00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:23.940
 concentrating

00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:24.759
 on himself

00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:25.180
 and his

00:33:25.180 --> 00:33:26.180
 personal needs

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:27.039
 and desires

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:28.860
 and it's

00:33:28.860 --> 00:33:29.720
 understandable

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:30.580
 because he

00:33:30.580 --> 00:33:31.039
 has been

00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:31.620
 in the

00:33:31.620 --> 00:33:32.259
 depths

00:33:32.259 --> 00:33:34.200
 as he's

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:34.779
 poured out

00:33:34.779 --> 00:33:35.380
 his soul

00:33:35.380 --> 00:33:36.140
 he's conscious

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:36.580
 of the

00:33:36.580 --> 00:33:37.279
 lord's help

00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:38.880
 and now

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:39.440
 he wants

00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:40.200
 others to

00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:40.720
 know that

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:41.279
 the lord

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:42.240
 is good

00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:43.840
 that he

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:44.560
 has put

00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.000
 his hope

00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:46.399
 in the

00:33:46.399 --> 00:33:46.659
 lord

00:33:46.659 --> 00:33:47.500
 and he's

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:47.819
 not

00:33:47.819 --> 00:33:48.679
 disappointed

00:33:48.679 --> 00:33:50.480
 and he

00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:51.179
 calls upon

00:33:51.179 --> 00:33:51.779
 them to

00:33:51.779 --> 00:33:52.279
 do the

00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:52.740
 same

00:33:52.740 --> 00:33:53.419
 oh

00:33:53.419 --> 00:33:54.039
 Israel

00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:54.559
 he says

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:55.319
 put

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:55.759
 your

00:33:55.759 --> 00:33:56.339
 hope

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:56.960
 in

00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:57.399
 the

00:33:57.399 --> 00:33:57.779
 lord

00:33:57.779 --> 00:34:01.259
 and as

00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:01.679
 I bring

00:34:01.679 --> 00:34:02.319
 this message

00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:02.740
 to a

00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:03.240
 close

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:04.659
 I say

00:34:04.659 --> 00:34:05.059
 to the

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:05.419
 folks

00:34:05.419 --> 00:34:05.700
 of

00:34:05.700 --> 00:34:06.500
 Cargillide

00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:07.240
 put

00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:07.659
 your

00:34:07.659 --> 00:34:08.179
 hope

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:09.320
 in

00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:09.779
 the

00:34:09.779 --> 00:34:10.299
 lord

00:34:10.299 --> 00:34:13.779
 and I

00:34:13.780 --> 00:34:14.260
 can do

00:34:14.260 --> 00:34:14.780
 that

00:34:14.780 --> 00:34:16.820
 as

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:17.660
 for the

00:34:17.660 --> 00:34:17.920
 same

00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:18.360
 reason

00:34:18.360 --> 00:34:18.820
 that the

00:34:18.820 --> 00:34:19.240
 psalmist

00:34:19.240 --> 00:34:19.760
 did it

00:34:19.760 --> 00:34:21.000
 you notice

00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:21.440
 that his

00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:22.519
 exhortation

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:24.280
 is based

00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:25.060
 on the

00:34:25.060 --> 00:34:25.280
 very

00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:26.000
 character

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:27.160
 of god

00:34:27.160 --> 00:34:29.720
 why

00:34:29.720 --> 00:34:30.519
 can they

00:34:30.519 --> 00:34:31.280
 put their

00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:31.800
 trust

00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:32.580
 in the

00:34:32.580 --> 00:34:32.900
 lord

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:33.760
 why can

00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:34.240
 they put

00:34:34.240 --> 00:34:34.519
 their

00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:34.980
 hope

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:35.700
 in the

00:34:35.700 --> 00:34:36.100
 lord

00:34:36.100 --> 00:34:38.280
 well

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:38.920
 because

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:39.800
 of his

00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:40.639
 unfailing

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:41.500
 love

00:34:41.500 --> 00:34:44.840
 they knew

00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:45.079
 their

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:45.619
 history

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:45.960
 did

00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:46.500
 Israel

00:34:46.500 --> 00:34:48.139
 they knew

00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:48.800
 the story

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:49.480
 of Abraham

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:50.360
 being brought

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:50.820
 out of

00:34:50.820 --> 00:34:51.639
 Ur of the

00:34:51.639 --> 00:34:52.340
 Chaldees

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:53.400
 they know

00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:53.920
 how god

00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:54.420
 had watched

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:54.920
 over

00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.659
 Abraham

00:34:55.659 --> 00:34:57.480
 they know

00:34:57.480 --> 00:34:58.039
 how god

00:34:58.039 --> 00:34:58.559
 had watched

00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:59.220
 over them

00:34:59.220 --> 00:34:59.619
 as they

00:34:59.619 --> 00:35:00.039
 found

00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:00.539
 themselves

00:35:00.539 --> 00:35:00.980
 in

00:35:00.980 --> 00:35:01.619
 Egypt

00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:03.139
 how he

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.639
 had watched

00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:04.260
 over them

00:35:04.260 --> 00:35:04.980
 and sent

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:05.960
 Joseph ahead

00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:06.519
 that they

00:35:06.519 --> 00:35:06.980
 might have

00:35:06.980 --> 00:35:07.420
 something

00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:08.000
 to eat

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:08.900
 god

00:35:08.900 --> 00:35:09.380
 had been

00:35:09.380 --> 00:35:09.880
 with them

00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:10.380
 god

00:35:10.380 --> 00:35:10.980
 had loved

00:35:10.980 --> 00:35:11.280
 them

00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:12.440
 and even

00:35:12.440 --> 00:35:12.980
 though they

00:35:12.980 --> 00:35:13.519
 had failed

00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:14.180
 him again

00:35:14.180 --> 00:35:14.700
 and again

00:35:14.700 --> 00:35:15.579
 he had

00:35:15.579 --> 00:35:16.420
 not failed

00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:16.900
 them

00:35:16.900 --> 00:35:18.720
 read through

00:35:18.720 --> 00:35:19.180
 the book

00:35:19.180 --> 00:35:19.840
 of judges

00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:20.900
 they sinned

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:21.220
 and they

00:35:21.220 --> 00:35:21.539
 failed

00:35:21.539 --> 00:35:22.539
 but god

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:23.139
 had shown

00:35:23.139 --> 00:35:24.280
 his unfailing

00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:24.619
 love

00:35:24.619 --> 00:35:25.880
 by raising

00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:26.740
 up a

00:35:26.740 --> 00:35:27.240

00:35:27.240 --> 00:35:29.539
 god

00:35:29.539 --> 00:35:30.280
 had been

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:31.019
 faithful

00:35:31.019 --> 00:35:32.440
 even when

00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:32.880
 they had

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.440
 failed to

00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:34.079
 be faithful

00:35:34.079 --> 00:35:34.740
 themselves

00:35:34.740 --> 00:35:36.159
 his love

00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:36.659
 had been

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:37.619
 constant

00:35:37.619 --> 00:35:38.719
 put your

00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:39.179

00:35:39.179 --> 00:35:39.679
 in the

00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:43.879
 love

00:35:43.879 --> 00:35:47.239
 but it

00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:47.559
 wasn't

00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:48.119
 just an

00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:48.679
 unfailing

00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:49.079
 love

00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:49.599
 was it

00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:51.259
 it was

00:35:56.500 --> 00:35:57.079
 about the

00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:57.739
 passover

00:35:57.739 --> 00:35:58.440
 where god

00:35:58.440 --> 00:35:59.059
 had delivered

00:35:59.059 --> 00:35:59.379
 them

00:35:59.379 --> 00:36:00.500
 under blood

00:36:00.500 --> 00:36:01.940
 from

00:36:01.940 --> 00:36:02.559
 captivity

00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:03.259
 in

00:36:03.259 --> 00:36:03.960
 Egypt

00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:05.980
 and all

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:06.380
 of this

00:36:06.380 --> 00:36:07.099
 sacrificial

00:36:07.099 --> 00:36:07.679
 system

00:36:07.679 --> 00:36:08.199
 pointed

00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:08.960
 to

00:36:08.960 --> 00:36:09.679
 god

00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.559
 as being

00:36:10.559 --> 00:36:11.000

00:36:22.420 --> 00:36:23.019
 was born

00:36:23.019 --> 00:36:23.480
 of a

00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:23.840

00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:48.880
 their

00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:49.539
 sins

00:36:49.539 --> 00:36:50.380
 it

00:36:50.380 --> 00:36:51.079
 will

00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:51.820
 happen

00:36:51.820 --> 00:36:54.360
 he's

00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:54.780
 looked at

 his own

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:56.120
 sins

00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:58.059

00:36:58.059 --> 00:36:58.440
 knows

00:36:58.440 --> 00:36:59.079
 that god

00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:05.099
 him

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:07.579
 and perhaps

00:37:07.579 --> 00:37:08.279
 he's looking

00:37:08.279 --> 00:37:09.219
 forward as

00:37:09.219 --> 00:37:09.579
 well

00:37:09.579 --> 00:37:11.019
 to the

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:11.719
 coming of

00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:12.119
 one

00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:13.619

 give his

00:37:14.239 --> 00:37:15.119
 life a

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:15.599
 ransom

00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:16.519
 for many

00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:18.139
 the one

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:18.579
 of whom

00:37:18.579 --> 00:37:19.219
 the apostle

00:37:19.219 --> 00:37:19.900
 paul

00:37:19.900 --> 00:37:20.739
 wrote

00:37:22.500 --> 00:37:23.599
 chapter 5

00:37:23.599 --> 00:37:24.500
 who

00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:25.219
 loved

00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:26.519
 the church

00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:28.199
 and gave

00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:28.779
 himself

00:37:28.779 --> 00:37:30.019
 for her

00:37:30.019 --> 00:37:32.179
 the lord

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:33.259
 will

00:37:33.259 --> 00:37:34.339
 redeem

00:37:34.339 --> 00:37:35.059
 his

 and you

00:37:37.739 --> 00:37:38.339
 and i

00:37:38.339 --> 00:37:39.699
 who so

00:37:39.699 --> 00:37:40.539
 often sin

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:41.219
 and fail

00:37:41.219 --> 00:37:41.959
 against him

00:37:41.959 --> 00:37:43.579
 the day

00:37:43.579 --> 00:37:44.480

00:37:46.299 --> 00:37:47.119
 every confidence

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:48.099
 in saying it

00:37:48.099 --> 00:37:49.000
 because the word

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:49.619
 says it

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:50.799
 when we

00:37:50.799 --> 00:37:51.299
 will be

00:37:51.299 --> 00:37:51.919
 presented

00:37:51.919 --> 00:37:53.299
 thoughtless

 without

00:37:54.600 --> 00:37:55.420
 spot

00:37:55.420 --> 00:37:56.000
 without

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.900
 blemish

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:58.039
 absolutely

00:37:58.039 --> 00:37:59.420
 perfect

00:37:59.420 --> 00:38:00.580
 it will

00:38:00.580 --> 00:38:01.400
 happen

00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:02.980
 he himself

 will redeem

 are we

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:12.420

 spiritual

00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:15.340
 barometer

00:38:15.340 --> 00:38:17.260
 perhaps

00:38:17.260 --> 00:38:17.840
 we're in

00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:18.500
 the depths

00:38:18.500 --> 00:38:20.460
 will cry

00:38:20.460 --> 00:38:20.860
 out to

00:38:29.800 --> 00:38:30.280
 grace
