00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.800
 Psalm 145. If you have the church Bible, it's 631, page 631.

00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.440
 So this is the psalm that Bryce is going to be preaching to us in just a second.

00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:27.580
 So I'll read the psalm for us, and then I'll pray for you, Bryce, and you can take over.

00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:31.119
 Psalm 145.

00:00:36.899 --> 00:00:39.460
 It's a psalm of praise of David.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.399
 I will exalt you, my God the King. I will praise your name forever and ever.

00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:49.820
 Every day I will praise you and extol your name forever and ever.

00:00:50.780 --> 00:00:55.579
 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise. His greatness no one can fathom.

00:00:55.579 --> 00:01:01.119
 One generation commends your works to another. They tell of your mighty acts.

00:01:01.539 --> 00:01:07.459
 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:13.319
 They tell of the power of your awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds.

00:01:14.019 --> 00:01:18.680
 They celebrate your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:25.380
 The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and rich in love.

00:01:26.380 --> 00:01:30.440
 The Lord is good to all. He has compassion on all he has made.

00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:34.820
 All your works praise you, Lord. Your faithful people extol you.

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:38.460
 They tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might,

00:01:38.459 --> 00:01:44.239
 so that all people may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.

00:01:44.919 --> 00:01:50.000
 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.

00:01:50.859 --> 00:01:55.599
 The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises and faithful in all he does.

00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:00.319
 The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.

00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.839
 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.

00:02:05.419 --> 00:02:09.759
 You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.900
 The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:19.759
 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:22.919
 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him.

00:02:23.340 --> 00:02:25.639
 He hears their cry and saves them.

00:02:26.399 --> 00:02:30.780
 The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.

00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:34.319
 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.

00:02:34.899 --> 00:02:39.259
 Let every creature praise his holy name forever and ever.

00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:43.060
 Father God, we thank you for your servant Bryce.

00:02:43.659 --> 00:02:47.379
 We pray for him, that you would fill him with your Holy Spirit,

00:02:47.379 --> 00:02:53.299
 and that the words that come out of his mouth are words ordained by you to teach us.

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:56.359
 We pray for the rest of us sitting under his preaching,

00:02:56.519 --> 00:02:59.719
 that we would listen well, and that we would take on board

00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:01.299
 what you're trying to say to us this morning.

00:03:01.859 --> 00:03:03.000
 Thank you for your word.

00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:05.379
 Please speak to us in Jesus' name.

00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:06.120
 Amen.

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:07.759
 Thanks, Bryce.

00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:07.819
 Thanks, Bryce.

00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:19.419
 Thank you, Connor.

00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.240
 And thank you for having me here this morning.

00:03:22.519 --> 00:03:24.759
 What a privilege to come and worship with you.

00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.159
 And thank you for the choices of those songs and for the musicians.

00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.639
 Those fit precisely with what we're going to talk about in Psalm 145.

00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.079
 So you might keep your Bibles open there.

00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.680
 Psalm 145 is the text we'll be looking at this morning.

00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.019
 Just to say that it's so good to be with you.

00:03:41.020 --> 00:03:44.780
 Karigaline, we know, is our older sister.

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:46.520
 That's really the reality.

00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:48.820
 I bring love and greetings from Douglas Baptist,

00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.340
 and we're so thankful for the way that you have faithfully pressed on.

00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.960
 You have a reputation, a good one.

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:59.439
 I think of the church in Thessalonica, where Paul says,

00:04:00.200 --> 00:04:04.000
 we know about your work of faith.

00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:09.520
 We know about your labor that's driven by your love.

00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:17.019
 We have heard about your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:20.079
 And we can say these words about Karigaline Baptist.

00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:21.800
 We're very thankful for you.

00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:23.220
 Keep pressing on.

00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:27.819
 So let me pray and ask God for help as we look at Psalm 145.

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.360
 Father, we thank you as well that you say to the Thessalonians

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.480
 that the gospel came not only with words,

00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:45.480
 but also in power and in the Holy Spirit

00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:49.259
 and with deep conviction.

00:04:50.520 --> 00:04:52.420
 That's what we're asking for today.

00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:55.000
 Let your words come as words,

00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.139
 but in power,

00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:58.819
 in the Spirit,

00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:01.439
 with real conviction.

00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:02.959
 To me,

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:03.980
 to all of us,

00:05:04.339 --> 00:05:05.920
 we plead with you.

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:07.040
 Amen.

00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:11.680
 This summer,

00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:13.819
 I was traveling in North America,

00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.259
 doing an awful lot of driving.

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.339
 And my son Jonathan came for a major leg of the driving bit

00:05:19.339 --> 00:05:20.480
 that left behind the girls.

00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.840
 And Jonathan and I went on this kind of tour

00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:29.060
 of northeastern Canada and the United States.

00:05:29.939 --> 00:05:32.740
 And we were driving from Washington, D.C. area

00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:33.819
 up to the Toronto airport.

00:05:34.220 --> 00:05:34.980
 And as we were coming up,

00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:35.740
 Jonathan says,

00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:38.160
 Dad, can we stop at Niagara Falls?

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.939
 Like, I know you took me there when I was a smallie,

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:42.640
 but now Jonathan's nearly 16.

00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:43.819
 And he was like,

00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.000
 I'd like to see it kind of where I could appreciate it.

00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:49.360
 So we were driving right through Niagara,

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:50.080
 right past.

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:51.100
 And so I said,

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:51.319
 sure,

00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:52.259
 we'll stop.

00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:53.580
 So we stopped.

00:05:54.080 --> 00:05:56.340
 And while we were there,

00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:57.879
 it's just this incredible scene

00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.000
 of so much water

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.860
 rushing over the falls.

00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:05.819
 While we were there,

00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:06.319
 we saw,

00:06:06.520 --> 00:06:06.939
 Jonathan said,

00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:08.280
 what's all those people down there?

00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.420
 And they were all wearing these rain ponchos

00:06:10.420 --> 00:06:11.819
 and they were going up these stairs

00:06:11.819 --> 00:06:13.819
 next to the Horseshoe Falls.

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.980
 And I found out afterwards

00:06:15.980 --> 00:06:16.580
 that what it is,

00:06:16.780 --> 00:06:18.139
 it's a tour called

00:06:18.139 --> 00:06:19.620
 Journey Behind the Falls.

00:06:19.699 --> 00:06:21.740
 And you can actually go right behind the waterfall

00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:23.479
 and you can actually look out

00:06:23.479 --> 00:06:25.180
 some kind of holes in the caves

00:06:25.180 --> 00:06:26.879
 and see the water gushing down

00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:27.719
 and there's these rails.

00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.879
 Can you imagine if you were on that tour?

00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:33.620
 And if you were,

00:06:34.180 --> 00:06:35.240
 while you were on the tour,

00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.459
 you start to lean over the rail

00:06:37.459 --> 00:06:38.419
 and do this.

00:06:38.420 --> 00:06:43.360
 And the tour guide says,

00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:43.960
 you hold it,

00:06:44.020 --> 00:06:44.620
 what are you doing?

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:45.420
 That's very dangerous.

00:06:45.580 --> 00:06:47.040
 You can't be leaning over rails.

00:06:48.140 --> 00:06:49.420
 What are you trying to do?

00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:51.700
 And you're like,

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:51.939
 well,

00:06:52.080 --> 00:06:54.160
 I'm trying to measure

00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:55.240
 how much water

00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.500
 is coming over the Niagara Falls.

00:06:59.580 --> 00:07:00.259
 And of course,

00:07:00.700 --> 00:07:01.379
 your guide would say,

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:02.300
 that's ridiculous.

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.759
 A 300 mil cup

00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:05.360
 and you're trying to measure

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:06.740
 the amount of water

00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:07.720
 over the falls.

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:08.840
 Well,

00:07:08.900 --> 00:07:10.020
 that is what

00:07:10.020 --> 00:07:11.439
 Psalm 145

00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:12.000
 is like

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.000
 for David.

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:14.560
 He's completely

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.860
 overwhelmed.

00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:17.060
 By the way,

00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:19.319
 if the flow is quite heavy

00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:19.840
 over the,

00:07:19.900 --> 00:07:20.460
 depends on

00:07:20.460 --> 00:07:21.420
 the conditions,

00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:22.420
 but Niagara Falls

00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:23.699
 in one second,

00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:25.120
 apparently,

00:07:25.780 --> 00:07:27.020
 three million

00:07:27.020 --> 00:07:27.600
 liters

00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:28.520
 of water

00:07:28.520 --> 00:07:29.500
 in one second.

00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:30.100
 Can you imagine

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:30.620
 trying to fit

00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:31.379
 three million

00:07:31.379 --> 00:07:32.780
 apple juice boxes

00:07:32.779 --> 00:07:33.579
 in your cupboard

00:07:33.579 --> 00:07:34.959
 or inside

00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:35.539
 in your fridge?

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:36.919
 Can you picture that?

00:07:37.659 --> 00:07:38.819
 That comes to

00:07:38.819 --> 00:07:39.199
 roughly

00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:40.899
 168 million

00:07:40.899 --> 00:07:41.319
 liters

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:42.039
 per minute,

00:07:42.819 --> 00:07:44.099
 240 trillion

00:07:44.099 --> 00:07:44.739
 liters

00:07:44.739 --> 00:07:45.579
 per day.

00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:46.699
 You cannot

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:47.419
 measure that

00:07:47.419 --> 00:07:49.279
 with 300 mil cups.

00:07:51.179 --> 00:07:51.739
 And David

00:07:51.739 --> 00:07:52.859
 is trying to measure

00:07:52.859 --> 00:07:53.359
 the greatness

00:07:53.359 --> 00:07:54.059
 of God

00:07:54.059 --> 00:07:55.239
 and he's got

00:07:55.239 --> 00:07:56.199
 the same quandary.

00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.019
 That's what's going on

00:07:58.019 --> 00:07:59.500
 in Psalm 145.

00:07:59.579 --> 00:08:00.639
 He's overwhelmed.

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:01.859
 Think of that

00:08:01.859 --> 00:08:02.319
 kind of water

00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:02.899
 coming down

00:08:02.899 --> 00:08:03.620
 inside in your shower.

00:08:03.719 --> 00:08:04.139
 Your drain

00:08:04.139 --> 00:08:04.519
 would be

00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:05.099
 immediately

00:08:05.099 --> 00:08:06.519
 overwhelmed.

00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:07.819
 David

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:08.939
 is

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:09.980
 wowed

00:08:09.980 --> 00:08:10.920
 by

00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:11.819
 God.

00:08:12.139 --> 00:08:12.540
 And that's

00:08:12.540 --> 00:08:12.920
 what's coming

00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:13.420
 out in this

00:08:13.420 --> 00:08:13.680
 Psalm.

00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:15.360
 Verse

00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.839
 21 in this

00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:17.060
 Psalm

00:08:17.060 --> 00:08:17.920
 is absolutely

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:18.480
 key.

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:19.719
 It's the last

00:08:19.719 --> 00:08:20.259
 verse of the

00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:20.699
 Psalm and it

00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:21.279
 says these

00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:21.740
 words.

00:08:22.620 --> 00:08:23.659
 My mouth

00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:25.120
 will

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:26.360
 speak

00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.459
 in praise

00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:29.100
 of the Lord.

00:08:29.719 --> 00:08:30.600
 Let every

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:31.139
 creature

00:08:31.139 --> 00:08:32.019
 praise his

00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:32.840
 holy name

00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:33.860
 forever

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:35.279
 and ever.

00:08:35.779 --> 00:08:36.500
 Why that's

00:08:36.500 --> 00:08:37.240
 special is that

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.579
 Psalm 145

00:08:38.579 --> 00:08:39.519
 is the last

00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:40.360
 Psalm in

00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.460
 book 5 of

00:08:41.460 --> 00:08:42.240
 the five books

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:42.879
 of the Psalms.

00:08:43.139 --> 00:08:44.000
 And if we were

00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:44.620
 reading it in

00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:45.240
 Hebrew we would

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:45.980
 see that this

00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:46.799
 is a special

00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:47.559
 kind of separate

00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.460
 benediction

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:49.480
 that comes at

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:50.159
 the end of the

00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:50.699
 five books

00:08:50.699 --> 00:08:51.500
 of the Psalms.

00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:52.519
 And David

00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:53.860
 says my

00:08:53.860 --> 00:08:54.779
 mouth

00:08:54.779 --> 00:08:55.679
 will

00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:56.840
 speak.

00:08:57.919 --> 00:08:58.419
 Some of you

00:08:58.419 --> 00:08:58.960
 may have heard

00:08:58.960 --> 00:08:59.539
 there's a quote

00:08:59.539 --> 00:09:00.039
 that flies

00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:00.559
 around out

00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:01.379
 there that

00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:01.939
 it says

00:09:01.939 --> 00:09:02.799
 preach the

00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:03.319
 gospel at

00:09:03.319 --> 00:09:04.059
 all times

00:09:04.059 --> 00:09:05.539
 use words

00:09:05.539 --> 00:09:06.959
 if necessary.

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:08.179
 And it kind

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:08.779
 of sounds

00:09:08.779 --> 00:09:09.579
 quite noble

00:09:09.579 --> 00:09:10.059
 that you

00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:10.639
 would preach

00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:11.059
 the gospel

00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:11.459
 with your

00:09:11.459 --> 00:09:11.939
 life without

00:09:11.939 --> 00:09:12.759
 using words.

00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:13.500
 And most

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:13.959
 certainly our

00:09:13.959 --> 00:09:14.500
 lives should

00:09:14.500 --> 00:09:15.000
 preach the

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:15.319
 gospel.

00:09:15.699 --> 00:09:16.299
 But can we

00:09:16.299 --> 00:09:17.620
 say biblically

00:09:17.620 --> 00:09:18.579
 that's faulty.

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:20.219
 We should say

00:09:20.219 --> 00:09:20.939
 preach the

00:09:20.939 --> 00:09:21.399
 gospel at

00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:22.159
 all times

00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:23.360
 words will be

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:23.899
 absolutely

00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:25.319
 necessary if

00:09:25.319 --> 00:09:25.559
 you're to

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:25.980
 preach the

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:26.340
 gospel.

00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:27.500
 And David

00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:28.720
 wants to

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.100
 use words.

00:09:30.740 --> 00:09:32.180
 My mouth

00:09:32.180 --> 00:09:33.639
 will

00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:34.700
 speak.

00:09:35.300 --> 00:09:35.639
 Throughout

00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:36.120
 the Psalms

00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:36.680
 we have

00:09:36.680 --> 00:09:38.159
 those many

00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.659
 many different

00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:39.300
 examples of

00:09:39.300 --> 00:09:39.639
 how the

00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:40.139
 mouth must

00:09:40.139 --> 00:09:40.860
 be used.

00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:42.120
 With singing

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:42.740
 lips my

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:43.200
 mouth will

00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:43.639
 praise you.

00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:44.320
 Psalm 62.

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:44.779
 We could go

00:09:44.779 --> 00:09:45.440
 on and on

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:45.800
 through the

00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:46.100
 Psalms.

00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:47.060
 My mouth

00:09:47.060 --> 00:09:47.659
 must be

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:48.279
 involved

00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:49.700
 in praise.

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:51.100
 David

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:52.340
 must open

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:52.960
 his mouth

00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.120
 and literally

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.620
 speak.

00:09:55.980 --> 00:09:56.720
 of the

00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:57.680
 magnificence

00:09:57.680 --> 00:09:59.100
 of God.

00:10:02.779 --> 00:10:03.680
 So what

00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:04.220
 about us?

00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:06.820
 Are we

00:10:06.820 --> 00:10:08.340
 wowed and

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:08.899
 overwhelmed

00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:09.480
 enough by

00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:10.120
 God that

00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:10.879
 we've got

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:11.700
 to open

00:10:11.700 --> 00:10:12.379
 our mouths

00:10:12.379 --> 00:10:13.920
 and speak?

00:10:14.420 --> 00:10:15.100
 When something

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:15.800
 has captured

00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:16.500
 your attention

00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:17.139
 and fascinated

00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:18.000
 you, you

00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:18.659
 must speak

00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:19.019
 about it,

00:10:19.019 --> 00:10:19.200
 right?

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:21.300
 This is

00:10:21.300 --> 00:10:22.639
 David in

00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:23.879
 Psalm 145.

00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:25.700
 Now the

00:10:25.700 --> 00:10:26.600
 Psalms are

00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.320
 the songbook

00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:28.759
 that Jesus

00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:29.460
 sang from.

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:30.240
 There's this

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.740
 important

00:10:30.740 --> 00:10:31.799
 perspective that

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:32.120
 emerges.

00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:32.519
 In the

00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:32.980
 Psalms,

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:33.919
 the central

00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:34.379
 figure in

00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:34.960
 the Psalms

00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:35.919
 on first

00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:36.500
 reading seems

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:36.860
 to be

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:37.299
 David.

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:38.179
 God has

00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:38.500
 made a

00:10:38.500 --> 00:10:38.799
 covenant

00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:39.480
 with David

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:40.419
 and God

00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:40.960
 has promised

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:41.379
 that there

00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:41.939
 will be

00:10:41.939 --> 00:10:42.960
 a son of

00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:43.720
 David who

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:44.299
 will rule

00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:44.899
 on his

00:10:44.899 --> 00:10:45.279
 throne

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:45.820
 forever and

00:10:45.820 --> 00:10:45.939
 ever.

00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:46.480
 But as

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:47.139
 you start

00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:47.500
 to work

00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:47.799
 your way

00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:48.179
 through the

00:10:48.179 --> 00:10:48.580
 books of

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:49.080
 the Psalms,

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:49.860
 you start

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:50.279
 to realize

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.000
 David's not

00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:51.500
 the central

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:51.860
 figure.

00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.340
 The central

00:10:53.340 --> 00:10:54.039
 figure is

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:54.600
 the promised

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.500
 son of

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:56.899
 David,

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.840
 the king

00:10:58.840 --> 00:10:59.480
 who will

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:00.240
 reign forever

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.159
 and ever,

00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:02.179
 king of

00:11:02.179 --> 00:11:03.000
 all kings,

00:11:03.700 --> 00:11:04.320
 our Lord

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.179
 Jesus Christ.

00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:06.139
 Jesus says

00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:07.000
 in Luke 24,

00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:08.299
 the Psalms

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:09.419
 must be

00:11:09.419 --> 00:11:10.019
 fulfilled that

00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:10.440
 were written

00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:11.559
 about me.

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:12.779
 When we

00:11:12.779 --> 00:11:13.080
 read the

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:13.480
 Psalms,

00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:14.159
 we need

00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:14.440
 to see

00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:14.779
 Jesus.

00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:16.259
 Now,

00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:17.379
 I haven't

00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:17.720
 gone and

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:18.200
 counted them

00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:18.759
 up myself,

00:11:19.179 --> 00:11:19.980
 but roughly

00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:21.019
 only around

00:11:21.019 --> 00:11:21.639
 10-ish

00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:22.460
 percent of

00:11:22.460 --> 00:11:23.120
 the Psalms

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:24.399
 are completely

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:25.120
 celebration

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:25.720
 from one

00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:25.980
 end of

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:26.420
 the Psalm

00:11:26.420 --> 00:11:27.039
 to the

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:27.279
 other.

00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:29.100
 Psalm 145

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:29.560
 is one

00:11:29.560 --> 00:11:29.820
 of those

00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:30.180
 Psalms.

00:11:30.340 --> 00:11:30.879
 That tells

00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:31.340
 us something

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:31.820
 about our

00:11:31.820 --> 00:11:32.259
 songs,

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:32.560
 right?

00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:33.539
 Many of

00:11:33.539 --> 00:11:34.120
 the Psalms,

00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:35.159
 how it is,

00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:35.560
 is that they

00:11:35.560 --> 00:11:36.000
 work their

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:36.399
 way to

00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:37.620
 praise through

00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:39.019
 the realities,

00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:40.360
 the difficulties,

00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:41.680
 the pains,

00:11:42.060 --> 00:11:42.720
 the blessings

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:43.680
 of life.

00:11:43.899 --> 00:11:44.560
 I'm working

00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:45.700
 my way to

00:11:45.700 --> 00:11:46.940
 praise through

00:11:46.940 --> 00:11:47.700
 the real

00:11:47.700 --> 00:11:49.000
 life things.

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:50.080
 but then

00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:50.860
 we have

00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:51.179
 some of

00:11:51.179 --> 00:11:51.360
 these

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:51.580
 Psalms,

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:52.019
 like Psalm

00:11:52.019 --> 00:11:52.659
 145,

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:52.960
 that are

00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.820
 complete

00:11:53.820 --> 00:11:55.320
 praise all

00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:55.759
 the way

00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:56.399
 through.

00:11:57.539 --> 00:11:57.980
 David,

00:11:58.360 --> 00:11:58.779
 it's almost

00:11:58.779 --> 00:11:59.360
 like when he

00:11:59.360 --> 00:11:59.899
 gets to this

00:11:59.899 --> 00:12:00.220
 Psalm,

00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:00.899
 he's like,

00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:01.340
 I'm so

00:12:01.340 --> 00:12:01.919
 overwhelmed by

00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:02.340
 my God,

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:02.620
 I'm going

00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:03.100
 to actually

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:03.659
 do a search

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:04.759
 on thesaurus.com

00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:05.200
 and find as

00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:05.779
 many words

00:12:05.779 --> 00:12:06.399
 as I can

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:07.460
 to describe

00:12:07.460 --> 00:12:08.340
 the greatness

00:12:08.340 --> 00:12:08.940
 of God.

00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.039
 And so,

00:12:10.500 --> 00:12:11.019
 he says,

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:11.320
 I will

00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:11.700
 exalt,

00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:12.120
 I will

00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:12.559
 praise,

00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:12.840
 I will

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:13.320
 extol,

00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:13.659
 I will

00:12:13.659 --> 00:12:14.059
 commend,

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:14.500
 I will

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:14.879
 tell,

00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:15.299
 I will

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:16.000
 speak,

00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:16.419
 I will

00:12:16.419 --> 00:12:16.860
 proclaim,

00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:17.740
 I will

00:12:17.740 --> 00:12:18.320
 meditate,

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:18.960
 I will

00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:19.500
 celebrate,

00:12:19.640 --> 00:12:20.220
 I will

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:20.840
 sing.

00:12:22.180 --> 00:12:22.460
 He's

00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:22.840
 wowed.

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:25.480
 There's

00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:25.980
 just enough,

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:26.900
 there's not

00:12:26.900 --> 00:12:27.620
 enough words,

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:28.720
 but what words

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.180
 I can come

00:12:29.180 --> 00:12:29.500
 up with,

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:30.180
 I am going

00:12:30.180 --> 00:12:30.860
 to let

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:31.340
 my mouth

00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:32.100
 speak them

00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:33.420
 about the

00:12:33.420 --> 00:12:33.700
 greatness

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:34.360
 of God.

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:36.080
 Many

00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.440
 things he

00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:36.860
 has to

00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:37.340
 say about

00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:38.000
 God in

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.500
 this Psalm.

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:39.520
 My God

00:12:39.520 --> 00:12:40.060
 is king,

00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:40.440
 he is

00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:40.840
 great,

00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:41.240
 he is

00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:41.680
 mighty,

00:12:41.860 --> 00:12:42.280
 he is

00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:43.040
 majestic,

00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:43.880
 he is

00:12:43.880 --> 00:12:44.500
 splendorous,

00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:44.940
 he does

00:12:44.940 --> 00:12:45.700
 great works

00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:46.340
 and marvelous

00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:46.879
 deeds,

00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:47.560
 he is

00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:48.160
 abundant

00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:49.240
 in goodness,

00:12:49.820 --> 00:12:50.060
 he is

00:12:50.060 --> 00:12:50.460
 righteous,

00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:51.120
 gracious,

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:51.980
 compassionate,

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:52.840
 forgiving,

00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:53.720
 slow to

00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:54.080
 anger,

00:12:54.280 --> 00:12:54.820
 abounding in

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:55.060
 love,

00:12:55.160 --> 00:12:55.720
 he rules

00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:56.240
 as king,

00:12:56.560 --> 00:12:56.860
 he is

00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:57.540
 everlasting,

00:12:58.060 --> 00:12:58.960
 always faithful,

00:12:59.640 --> 00:13:00.420
 always trustworthy,

00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:02.020
 caring for the

00:13:02.020 --> 00:13:02.420
 lowly,

00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:03.700
 providing all that

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:04.040
 I have,

00:13:04.160 --> 00:13:05.020
 providing for all

00:13:05.020 --> 00:13:05.940
 of his creation,

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:07.259
 he's near,

00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:08.920
 he hears,

00:13:09.420 --> 00:13:10.300
 he satisfies,

00:13:11.020 --> 00:13:11.980
 he rescues,

00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:12.980
 he saves

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:13.360
 sinners,

00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:14.480
 he protects

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:14.940
 us,

00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.220
 and he

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:16.840
 justly

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:17.560
 destroys

00:13:17.560 --> 00:13:18.399
 the wicked.

00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.019
 And my

00:13:21.019 --> 00:13:21.519
 mouth

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.240
 must speak

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:25.180
 in praise

00:13:25.180 --> 00:13:25.480
 of the

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:25.800
 Lord,

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:27.580
 praise his

00:13:27.580 --> 00:13:28.200
 holy name

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:29.159
 forever

00:13:29.159 --> 00:13:30.779
 and ever.

00:13:32.259 --> 00:13:32.840
 In a

00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:33.139
 sense,

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:33.940
 you know

00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:34.120
 what a

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:34.680
 cornucopia

00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:35.080
 is?

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:36.039
 You know

00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:36.399
 those little

00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:37.120
 horns that

00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:37.440
 they put

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.000
 produce in

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:39.259
 and they

00:13:39.259 --> 00:13:39.740
 overflow

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:40.480
 the horn,

00:13:40.659 --> 00:13:40.940
 the little

00:13:40.940 --> 00:13:41.680
 basket horns

00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:42.100
 that they put

00:13:42.100 --> 00:13:42.340
 on your

00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:42.680
 table?

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:43.379
 And they

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:43.959
 take little

00:13:43.959 --> 00:13:44.419
 pictures of

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:44.500
 them?

00:13:44.739 --> 00:13:45.099
 Is this

00:13:45.099 --> 00:13:45.559
 idea of

00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:46.419
 an overflowing

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:47.359
 abundance

00:13:47.359 --> 00:13:48.459
 that comes.

00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:49.379
 Often they're

00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:49.799
 used at

00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:50.500
 times when

00:13:50.500 --> 00:13:50.759
 we would

00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.399
 celebrate

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.439
 a season

00:13:52.439 --> 00:13:53.039
 of harvest

00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:53.500
 Thanksgiving.

00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:54.439
 You'd find

00:13:54.439 --> 00:13:55.219
 a cornucopia.

00:13:55.599 --> 00:13:55.959
 This

00:13:55.959 --> 00:13:56.579
 psalm is

00:13:56.579 --> 00:13:57.579
 a cornucopia

00:13:57.579 --> 00:13:57.579


00:13:57.579 --> 00:13:59.319
 of praise,

00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:01.139
 overflowing

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:02.959
 with God's

00:14:02.959 --> 00:14:03.899
 majesty.

00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:06.419
 Now

00:14:06.419 --> 00:14:06.879
 there's a few

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.819
 little features

00:14:07.819 --> 00:14:08.339
 about this

00:14:08.339 --> 00:14:08.699
 psalm that

00:14:08.699 --> 00:14:09.019
 we should

00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:09.339
 note.

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:10.219
 First of

00:14:10.219 --> 00:14:10.439
 all,

00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:11.299
 as I've

00:14:11.299 --> 00:14:11.519
 mentioned,

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:11.960
 it's the

00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:12.620
 last psalm

00:14:12.620 --> 00:14:12.960
 of book

00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:14.259
 five in

00:14:14.259 --> 00:14:14.819
 the psalms.

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:15.220
 So there's

00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:15.759
 five books

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:16.360
 in the psalms

00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:17.419
 and book

00:14:17.419 --> 00:14:18.179
 five is

00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:18.679
 really the

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.340
 response of

00:14:20.340 --> 00:14:21.379
 restored sinners,

00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:22.579
 those who've

00:14:22.579 --> 00:14:23.039
 been brought

00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:23.819
 back from

00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:25.860
 exile and

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:26.199
 have been

00:14:26.199 --> 00:14:27.220
 forgiven and

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:27.899
 redeemed by

00:14:27.899 --> 00:14:28.340
 love.

00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:29.659
 And during

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:30.340
 the exile

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:30.840
 psalms,

00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:31.259
 which come

00:14:31.259 --> 00:14:31.579
 in book

00:14:31.579 --> 00:14:32.100
 four,

00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:32.639
 David's

00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:33.079
 voice goes

00:14:33.079 --> 00:14:34.059
 mostly silent.

00:14:34.779 --> 00:14:35.159
 But then

00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:35.720
 David's voice

00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:36.159
 starts to

00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:36.659
 come back

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:36.980
 in,

00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:37.819
 in book

00:14:37.819 --> 00:14:38.279
 five,

00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:38.860
 in a

00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:39.360
 big way.

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:40.679
 And finishes

00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:41.600
 off this

00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:42.339
 special psalm

00:14:42.339 --> 00:14:43.220
 with this

00:14:43.220 --> 00:14:43.720
 special

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:44.620
 benediction.

00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:46.079
 So this

00:14:46.079 --> 00:14:46.360
 is the

00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:47.259
 final psalm

00:14:47.259 --> 00:14:47.939
 that David

00:14:47.939 --> 00:14:49.819
 is noted

00:14:49.819 --> 00:14:50.500
 as writing

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:51.139
 in the

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:51.500
 psalm book.

00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:51.839
 So that

00:14:51.839 --> 00:14:52.480
 becomes very

00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:53.720
 special psalm

00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:54.000
 to the

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:54.620
 Hebrew people.

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:55.220
 They often

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:55.799
 would practice

00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:56.339
 quoting this

00:14:56.339 --> 00:14:57.220
 every day,

00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:58.019
 this one

00:14:58.019 --> 00:14:58.459
 song,

00:14:58.819 --> 00:14:59.379
 because it's

00:14:59.379 --> 00:14:59.980
 very special

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:00.519
 to them.

00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:02.159
 Also,

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:02.699
 just to note,

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:03.439
 it was almost

00:15:03.439 --> 00:15:04.500
 certainly this

00:15:04.500 --> 00:15:05.000
 psalm was

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:05.519
 written by

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.319
 David towards

00:15:06.319 --> 00:15:07.179
 the end

00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:08.019
 of his

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:08.460
 life.

00:15:09.779 --> 00:15:10.279
 It appears

00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:10.539
 that he

00:15:10.539 --> 00:15:10.939
 was an

00:15:10.939 --> 00:15:12.419
 aging or

00:15:12.419 --> 00:15:13.460
 aged man

00:15:13.460 --> 00:15:14.539
 as he

00:15:14.539 --> 00:15:15.059
 writes the

00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:15.500
 words of

00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:16.039
 this psalm.

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:17.659
 Then,

00:15:18.220 --> 00:15:18.679
 very

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:19.179
 interestingly,

00:15:19.419 --> 00:15:19.579
 which,

00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:20.360
 unfortunately,

00:15:20.579 --> 00:15:20.980
 English,

00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:21.799
 we miss

00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:22.879
 completely about

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.500
 this psalm,

00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:24.259
 but if we

00:15:24.259 --> 00:15:25.639
 were Hebrews

00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:26.179
 who could

00:15:26.179 --> 00:15:26.679
 read the

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:27.539
 Hebrew language,

00:15:27.819 --> 00:15:28.220
 we would

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:28.759
 see something

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:29.340
 going on

00:15:29.340 --> 00:15:29.620
 here.

00:15:30.319 --> 00:15:30.899
 The whole

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:31.480
 psalm,

00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:32.919
 down to

00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:33.500
 verse 20,

00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:34.220
 before you

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:34.519
 get this

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.360
 final benediction,

00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:36.319
 is an

00:15:36.319 --> 00:15:37.240
 alphabetical

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.120
 acrostic,

00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:38.539
 and it

00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:39.139
 goes right

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:40.360
 through the

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:40.699
 Hebrew

00:15:40.699 --> 00:15:41.399
 alphabet,

00:15:41.779 --> 00:15:43.159
 22 letters

00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:43.899
 of the

00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:44.159
 Hebrew

00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:44.500
 alphabet.

00:15:45.019 --> 00:15:45.259
 So it's

00:15:45.259 --> 00:15:45.799
 a bit like

00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:46.259
 when we

00:15:46.259 --> 00:15:46.899
 sometimes do,

00:15:47.319 --> 00:15:47.539
 have you

00:15:47.539 --> 00:15:47.840
 ever done

00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:48.360
 an acrostic

00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:48.980
 Mother's Day

00:15:48.980 --> 00:15:49.360
 card?

00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:50.100
 Any of you

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:50.579
 mothers ever

00:15:50.579 --> 00:15:51.439
 got one of

00:15:51.439 --> 00:15:51.779
 those kind

00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:53.079
 of acrostic

00:15:53.079 --> 00:15:53.939
 cards where

00:15:53.939 --> 00:15:54.460
 you say,

00:15:54.939 --> 00:15:55.240
 mother,

00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.779
 M-O-T-H-E-R.

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.059
 And so we

00:15:59.059 --> 00:15:59.379
 would write

00:15:59.379 --> 00:15:59.980
 something like,

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.500
 M,

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:01.679
 marvelously,

00:16:02.460 --> 00:16:02.819
 O,

00:16:03.419 --> 00:16:04.279
 overflowing

00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.139
 with love,

00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:06.559
 and T,

00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:08.039
 touching the

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:09.179
 H,

00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:10.720
 heart of,

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:11.480
 E,

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:12.960
 everyone she

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:13.860
 R,

00:16:14.319 --> 00:16:14.639
 reaches.

00:16:15.620 --> 00:16:15.840
 You ever

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.159
 done one of

00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:16.679
 those cards?

00:16:16.899 --> 00:16:17.500
 Something like

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:17.779
 that?

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:18.419
 Received one

00:16:18.419 --> 00:16:19.059
 of those cards?

00:16:19.199 --> 00:16:19.600
 Maybe one of

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:20.159
 your friends

00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:21.039
 made fun of

00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:21.439
 you with

00:16:21.439 --> 00:16:22.059
 those acrostic

00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:22.579
 cards?

00:16:24.460 --> 00:16:25.539
 That's sort

00:16:25.539 --> 00:16:25.860
 of what's

00:16:25.860 --> 00:16:26.340
 going on

00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:26.699
 here.

00:16:27.079 --> 00:16:27.679
 This is the

00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.860
 complete picture

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.860
 of the greatness

00:16:30.860 --> 00:16:31.779
 of God from

00:16:31.779 --> 00:16:32.980
 A to Z,

00:16:32.980 --> 00:16:34.159
 the full

00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:34.920
 alphabet.

00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:36.039
 More

00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:36.700
 precisely,

00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:37.879
 from Aleph

00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:38.740
 to Tav.

00:16:39.420 --> 00:16:39.800
 Or,

00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:40.620
 as we'd say

00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:40.940
 in Greek,

00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.639
 from Alpha

00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:42.639
 to Omega.

00:16:42.800 --> 00:16:43.159
 By the way,

00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:43.879
 who's the Alpha

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:44.360
 and Omega?

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.060
 Our Lord Jesus

00:16:46.060 --> 00:16:46.620
 Christ.

00:16:46.899 --> 00:16:47.420
 He's the

00:16:47.420 --> 00:16:48.200
 completeness

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:49.240
 of this

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.100
 Psalm and

00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:50.399
 this

00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.180
 praise.

00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:53.220
 So what's

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:53.740
 actually in

00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:54.120
 the Psalm?

00:16:54.620 --> 00:16:54.779
 Well,

00:16:54.779 --> 00:16:55.240
 when you look

00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:55.519
 through the

00:16:55.519 --> 00:16:55.700
 Psalm,

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.060
 if you've

00:16:56.060 --> 00:16:56.460
 read through

00:16:56.460 --> 00:16:57.120
 the Psalms,

00:16:57.460 --> 00:16:57.980
 you'll see

00:16:57.980 --> 00:16:59.019
 actually in

00:16:59.019 --> 00:17:00.080
 Psalm 145,

00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.240
 as far as

00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:01.660
 I can see,

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:01.920
 there's

00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:03.080
 absolutely no

00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.059
 new content.

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:05.259
 It's all

00:17:05.259 --> 00:17:05.700
 things that

00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:05.940
 have been

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.860
 said before

00:17:06.860 --> 00:17:07.900
 throughout the

00:17:07.900 --> 00:17:08.319
 Psalm book,

00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:08.900
 but kind of

00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:10.000
 bunched together.

00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:11.400
 What's new

00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:11.980
 about it is

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:12.220
 it is

00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:13.259
 completely

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:13.960
 start to

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:14.400
 finish

00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:15.559
 praise

00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:16.240
 at the

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:16.840
 end of

00:17:16.840 --> 00:17:17.539
 Book 5.

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:19.819
 David,

00:17:20.100 --> 00:17:20.640
 it's almost

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:21.180
 like he's

00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:21.680
 reflecting

00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.360
 towards the

00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:22.940
 end of his

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:23.360
 life,

00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:24.660
 and he's

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:24.819
 saying,

00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:25.079
 listen,

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:25.620
 I've written

00:17:25.620 --> 00:17:26.220
 all these

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:27.140
 Psalms before.

00:17:28.100 --> 00:17:28.420
 These

00:17:28.420 --> 00:17:29.380
 Psalms have

00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:29.800
 been about

00:17:29.800 --> 00:17:30.560
 through my

00:17:30.560 --> 00:17:31.080
 troubles,

00:17:32.520 --> 00:17:32.980
 this is

00:17:32.980 --> 00:17:33.300
 who my

00:17:33.300 --> 00:17:33.920
 God is.

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.680
 Through my

00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:36.720
 pains and

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.300
 losses,

00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:39.500
 this is

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.120
 who my

00:17:40.120 --> 00:17:40.920
 God is.

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:42.820
 Through my

00:17:42.820 --> 00:17:44.480
 doubts and

00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:44.940
 darkness,

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.780
 this is

00:17:46.780 --> 00:17:47.200
 who my

00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:47.920
 God is.

00:17:48.860 --> 00:17:49.560
 Through the

00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:50.540
 betrayals,

00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.860
 through the

00:17:52.860 --> 00:17:53.480
 blessings and

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:54.980
 comforts,

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:56.920
 through the

00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:57.440
 history of

00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:58.120
 my people,

00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.119
 through my

00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:01.619
 sin and

00:18:01.619 --> 00:18:02.000
 his

00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:02.439
 forgiveness

00:18:02.439 --> 00:18:03.000
 of my

00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:03.299
 sin,

00:18:03.659 --> 00:18:04.719
 this is

00:18:04.719 --> 00:18:05.639
 who my

00:18:05.639 --> 00:18:06.079
 God is.

00:18:06.139 --> 00:18:06.339
 And now

00:18:06.339 --> 00:18:06.779
 he's come

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:07.059
 to the

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:07.359
 end and

00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:07.579
 said,

00:18:07.859 --> 00:18:08.859
 I'm just

00:18:08.859 --> 00:18:09.419
 overwhelmed.

00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:10.299
 I've got to

00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:11.319
 come out

00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:12.359
 with complete

00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:13.979
 A to Z

00:18:13.979 --> 00:18:15.919
 praise in

00:18:15.919 --> 00:18:17.099
 Psalm 145.

00:18:18.699 --> 00:18:19.319
 There are

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:19.819
 many themes

00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:20.299
 of praise

00:18:20.299 --> 00:18:20.859
 in this

00:18:20.859 --> 00:18:21.179
 Psalm,

00:18:21.439 --> 00:18:22.000
 far too

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:22.419
 many for

00:18:22.419 --> 00:18:22.739
 me to

00:18:22.739 --> 00:18:23.159
 really go

00:18:23.159 --> 00:18:23.359
 over,

00:18:23.419 --> 00:18:23.659
 but I'd

00:18:23.659 --> 00:18:23.919
 like to

00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:24.379
 just draw

00:18:24.379 --> 00:18:25.059
 out four

00:18:25.059 --> 00:18:25.399
 which I

00:18:25.399 --> 00:18:25.719
 think are

00:18:25.719 --> 00:18:26.219
 prominent

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:26.920
 and what

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.160
 we could

00:18:27.160 --> 00:18:27.900
 benefit from

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:28.380
 today.

00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:30.200
 Four themes

00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:30.700
 of praise

00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:31.100
 I see

00:18:31.100 --> 00:18:31.420
 here.

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.120
 First,

00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:32.819
 David is

00:18:32.819 --> 00:18:33.079
 saying,

00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:33.759
 I must

00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:34.259
 speak of

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:35.039
 my God's

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.759
 greatness

00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:37.180
 in the

00:18:37.180 --> 00:18:37.759
 early verses.

00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:39.200
 Then David

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:39.620
 says,

00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:40.220
 I must

00:18:40.220 --> 00:18:40.680
 speak of

00:18:40.680 --> 00:18:41.519
 my God's

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:42.539
 grace.

00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:44.920
 Then David

00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:45.259
 says,

00:18:45.380 --> 00:18:45.799
 I must

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:46.240
 speak of

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.920
 my God's

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.660
 rule,

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:49.059
 his kingdom.

00:18:50.120 --> 00:18:51.000
 And finally,

00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:51.700
 I must

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:52.140
 speak of

00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:53.000
 my God's

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.180
 righteousness.

00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:54.259
 righteousness.

00:18:55.580 --> 00:18:56.580
 Four themes

00:18:56.580 --> 00:18:56.820
 that are

00:18:56.820 --> 00:18:57.460
 quite prominent

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:57.799
 in this.

00:18:57.860 --> 00:18:58.039
 First,

00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:58.460
 I must

00:18:58.460 --> 00:18:58.980
 speak of

00:18:58.980 --> 00:18:59.759
 God's

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.299
 greatness.

00:19:00.820 --> 00:19:01.299
 If you

00:19:01.299 --> 00:19:01.640
 look with

00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:01.940
 me at

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:03.060
 verses 3

00:19:03.060 --> 00:19:03.600
 to 6

00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:03.920
 here,

00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:06.940
 Psalm 145

00:19:06.940 --> 00:19:07.640
 verse 3,

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:08.740
 great is

00:19:08.740 --> 00:19:09.299
 the Lord

00:19:09.299 --> 00:19:10.160
 and most

00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:10.799
 worthy of

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.120
 praise.

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:11.400
 His

00:19:11.400 --> 00:19:12.140
 greatness

00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:13.360
 no one

00:19:13.360 --> 00:19:14.060
 can fathom.

00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:15.019
 One

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:15.620
 generation

00:19:15.620 --> 00:19:16.160
 commends

00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:16.539
 your works

00:19:16.539 --> 00:19:17.000
 to another.

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:17.519
 They tell

00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:17.799
 of your

00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:18.480
 mighty acts.

00:19:18.580 --> 00:19:19.019
 They speak

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:19.279
 of the

00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:19.660
 glorious

00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:20.320
 splendor

00:19:20.320 --> 00:19:20.700
 of your

00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:21.220
 majesty.

00:19:21.860 --> 00:19:22.400
 And I

00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:22.900
 will

00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:23.420
 meditate

00:19:23.420 --> 00:19:23.840
 on your

00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:24.259
 wonderful

00:19:24.259 --> 00:19:24.779
 works.

00:19:25.300 --> 00:19:26.220
 They tell

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:27.120
 of the

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:27.580
 power of

00:19:27.580 --> 00:19:27.700
 your

00:19:27.700 --> 00:19:28.060
 awesome

00:19:28.060 --> 00:19:28.480
 works.

00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:29.539
 I

00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:29.900
 will

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:30.460
 proclaim

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:31.340
 your

00:19:31.340 --> 00:19:31.640
 great

00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:32.080
 deeds.

00:19:32.779 --> 00:19:33.039
 His

00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:33.660
 greatness

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:36.039
 no one

00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:37.039
 can

00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:37.519
 fathom.

00:19:37.580 --> 00:19:37.880
 That's a

00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:38.200
 beautiful

00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:38.680
 picture.

00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:39.259
 You know

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:39.500
 what a

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:39.820
 fathom

00:19:39.820 --> 00:19:40.100
 is?

00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:41.600
 We

00:19:41.600 --> 00:19:41.860
 don't

00:19:41.860 --> 00:19:43.000
 use

00:19:43.000 --> 00:19:43.779
 too

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:44.140
 often

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:44.960
 anymore

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:46.120
 the

00:19:46.120 --> 00:19:46.460
 idea

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:46.860
 of a

00:19:46.860 --> 00:19:47.220
 sounding

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:47.680
 line.

00:19:48.500 --> 00:19:48.620
 But

00:19:48.620 --> 00:19:48.940
 during

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:49.600
 days

00:19:49.600 --> 00:19:50.240
 past,

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:50.720
 when

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:51.019
 ships

00:19:51.019 --> 00:19:51.259
 used

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:51.460
 to

00:19:51.460 --> 00:19:51.800
 sail,

00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:52.259
 they

00:19:52.259 --> 00:19:52.480
 needed

00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:52.759
 to know

00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:53.240
 how much

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:53.579
 water

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:53.940
 was under

00:19:53.940 --> 00:19:54.119
 the

00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:54.299
 ship

00:19:54.299 --> 00:19:54.619
 so they

00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:54.839
 didn't

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:55.059
 run

00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:55.440
 aground.

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:56.400
 So they

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:56.779
 had these

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:57.099
 sounding

00:19:57.099 --> 00:19:57.480
 lines,

00:19:57.579 --> 00:19:57.720
 and they

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:57.980
 would either

00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:58.779
 tie knots

00:19:58.779 --> 00:20:00.319
 every two

00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:00.879
 yards or

00:20:00.879 --> 00:20:01.500
 six feet,

00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:02.619
 and that

00:20:02.619 --> 00:20:02.920
 was a

00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:03.299
 fathom.

00:20:03.980 --> 00:20:04.440
 And they

00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:04.759
 put a

00:20:04.759 --> 00:20:05.119
 weight on

00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:05.559
 the end

00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:05.859
 of the

00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:06.160
 sounding

00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:06.440
 line,

00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:06.700
 they'd

00:20:06.700 --> 00:20:07.099
 throw it

00:20:07.099 --> 00:20:07.279
 in,

00:20:07.420 --> 00:20:07.740
 and they'd

00:20:07.740 --> 00:20:08.200
 measure it

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:08.319
 up,

00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:08.599
 and they'd

00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:09.160
 call out

00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:09.579
 the

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.079
 fathoms,

00:20:10.259 --> 00:20:10.819
 how much

00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:11.879
 water was

00:20:11.879 --> 00:20:12.220
 under the

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:12.539
 ship so

00:20:12.539 --> 00:20:12.720
 that it

00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:12.940
 wouldn't

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:13.200
 run

00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:13.579
 aground.

00:20:14.660 --> 00:20:15.140
 But the

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:15.920
 realities are,

00:20:16.619 --> 00:20:16.960
 if you

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:17.460
 try throwing

00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:17.720
 out a

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.059
 fathom

00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:18.640
 line over

00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:18.840
 the

00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:19.240
 Mariana

00:20:19.240 --> 00:20:19.759
 Trench,

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:21.380
 there's no

00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:22.060
 fathom line

00:20:22.060 --> 00:20:22.420
 that is

00:20:22.420 --> 00:20:22.880
 going to

00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:24.160
 measure the

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.640
 depths of

00:20:25.640 --> 00:20:26.120
 the sea

00:20:26.120 --> 00:20:26.980
 there.

00:20:27.820 --> 00:20:28.420
 And David

00:20:28.420 --> 00:20:28.980
 is saying,

00:20:29.340 --> 00:20:30.020
 that's what the

00:20:30.020 --> 00:20:30.720
 greatness of

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.620
 my God is

00:20:31.620 --> 00:20:32.020
 like.

00:20:33.020 --> 00:20:33.980
 It is

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:34.820
 unmeasurable.

00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:36.380
 You cannot

00:20:36.380 --> 00:20:37.040
 measure how

00:20:37.040 --> 00:20:37.680
 great he is.

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:37.940
 It is

00:20:37.940 --> 00:20:38.700
 unsearchable.

00:20:39.060 --> 00:20:39.740
 No one can

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.940
 fathom his

00:20:40.940 --> 00:20:41.340
 greatness.

00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:43.280
 I must speak

00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:44.120
 of my God's

00:20:44.120 --> 00:20:44.780
 greatness.

00:20:45.600 --> 00:20:46.300
 David also

00:20:46.300 --> 00:20:46.580
 says,

00:20:46.579 --> 00:20:47.119
 I must

00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:47.579
 speak of

00:20:47.579 --> 00:20:48.359
 my God's

00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:49.159
 grace.

00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:50.039
 Look with

00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:50.199
 me,

00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:50.500
 please,

00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:50.859
 at verses

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:51.419
 7 to

00:20:51.419 --> 00:20:51.779
 10.

00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:52.639
 He says,

00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:53.859
 they celebrate

00:20:53.859 --> 00:20:54.659
 your abundant

00:20:54.659 --> 00:20:55.460
 goodness and

00:20:55.460 --> 00:20:56.319
 joyfully sing

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:56.619
 of your

00:20:56.619 --> 00:20:57.079
 righteousness.

00:20:57.539 --> 00:20:58.199
 The Lord

00:20:58.199 --> 00:21:00.460
 is gracious

00:21:00.460 --> 00:21:02.599
 and compassionate,

00:21:04.199 --> 00:21:05.000
 slow to

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:05.419
 anger,

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:06.659
 and rich in

00:21:06.659 --> 00:21:07.039
 love.

00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:07.939
 The Lord

00:21:07.939 --> 00:21:08.519
 is good to

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:08.919
 all.

00:21:09.339 --> 00:21:09.659
 He has

00:21:09.659 --> 00:21:10.399
 compassion on

00:21:10.399 --> 00:21:11.199
 all he has

00:21:11.199 --> 00:21:11.579
 made.

00:21:11.939 --> 00:21:12.619
 All your

00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:13.619
 works praise

00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:13.839
 you,

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:14.220
 Lord,

00:21:14.539 --> 00:21:15.139
 your faithful

00:21:15.139 --> 00:21:15.619
 people.

00:21:15.619 --> 00:21:17.139
 extol you.

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:18.419
 I must

00:21:18.419 --> 00:21:18.879
 speak of

00:21:18.879 --> 00:21:19.759
 my God's

00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.699
 grace.

00:21:22.779 --> 00:21:23.419
 Grace

00:21:23.419 --> 00:21:24.519
 is what

00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:25.919
 is unearned.

00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:28.759
 Grace

00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.119
 is what

00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:31.699
 is undeserved.

00:21:33.239 --> 00:21:33.879
 Free.

00:21:35.239 --> 00:21:35.899
 A gift.

00:21:36.399 --> 00:21:36.859
 If you've

00:21:36.859 --> 00:21:37.419
 earned it,

00:21:37.959 --> 00:21:38.419
 it's not

00:21:38.419 --> 00:21:38.799
 grace.

00:21:39.239 --> 00:21:39.619
 If you

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:40.259
 deserve it,

00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:41.319
 it's not

00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:41.739
 grace.

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:42.419
 If you

00:21:42.419 --> 00:21:42.939
 worked for

00:21:42.939 --> 00:21:43.179
 it,

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.179
 it's not

00:21:44.179 --> 00:21:44.599
 grace.

00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:45.779
 freely

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:46.119
 given.

00:21:46.919 --> 00:21:47.419
 The Lord

00:21:47.419 --> 00:21:48.319
 is gracious.

00:21:49.500 --> 00:21:49.939
 He's

00:21:49.939 --> 00:21:50.480
 compassionate.

00:21:50.639 --> 00:21:50.859
 He's

00:21:50.859 --> 00:21:51.480
 merciful.

00:21:52.659 --> 00:21:53.199
 This is

00:21:53.199 --> 00:21:53.659
 how God

00:21:53.659 --> 00:21:54.339
 saves us.

00:21:55.339 --> 00:21:55.579
 God

00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:56.219
 gives us

00:21:56.219 --> 00:21:57.000
 everything we

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.459
 could never

00:21:57.459 --> 00:21:57.899
 get for

00:21:57.899 --> 00:21:58.379
 ourselves.

00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:00.319
 He puts

00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:00.679
 us right

00:22:00.679 --> 00:22:01.179
 with him.

00:22:01.939 --> 00:22:02.359
 When we

00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:02.899
 have nothing

00:22:02.899 --> 00:22:03.359
 to give,

00:22:03.399 --> 00:22:03.740
 when we

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:04.619
 only deserve

00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:05.459
 judgment,

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:07.299
 he gives

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:07.779
 grace.

00:22:08.699 --> 00:22:09.179
 This is

00:22:09.179 --> 00:22:09.519
 how he

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:10.099
 saves us.

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:11.059
 And so

00:22:11.059 --> 00:22:11.740
 mercy is

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.319
 quite simply

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.439
 not getting

00:22:13.439 --> 00:22:13.799
 what you

00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:14.139
 deserve.

00:22:14.819 --> 00:22:15.159
 And that's

00:22:15.159 --> 00:22:15.599
 a wonderful

00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:15.980
 thing to

00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:16.460
 get mercy,

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:16.899
 isn't it?

00:22:17.679 --> 00:22:18.500
 But grace

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:19.000
 is God

00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:19.519
 giving us

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:20.119
 everything we

00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:20.740
 could never

00:22:20.740 --> 00:22:21.359
 have on our

00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:22.259
 own merits.

00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:23.919
 He gives

00:22:23.919 --> 00:22:24.439
 them to us

00:22:24.439 --> 00:22:24.759
 freely.

00:22:25.159 --> 00:22:25.439
 So for

00:22:25.439 --> 00:22:25.740
 instance,

00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:26.179
 if we were

00:22:26.179 --> 00:22:26.519
 to say

00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:26.740
 that,

00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:27.379
 what if

00:22:27.379 --> 00:22:27.619
 there was

00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:28.039
 a troubled

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.720
 young man

00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:30.240
 in the

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:30.559
 area?

00:22:30.819 --> 00:22:31.119
 What if

00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:31.359
 he was

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:31.879
 an orphan

00:22:31.879 --> 00:22:32.859
 and he

00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:33.259
 happened to

00:22:33.259 --> 00:22:33.700
 be someone

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:35.220
 who was

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:35.859
 burning with

00:22:35.859 --> 00:22:36.240
 a lot of

00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:37.480
 hatred and

00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:37.859
 he was an

00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:38.419
 arsonist?

00:22:38.420 --> 00:22:39.580
 And he

00:22:39.580 --> 00:22:39.960
 found a

00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:40.519
 particular

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:41.480
 wealthy man

00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:41.800
 who had

00:22:41.800 --> 00:22:42.240
 lots of

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:42.860
 properties in

00:22:42.860 --> 00:22:43.320
 the area

00:22:43.320 --> 00:22:44.480
 and what

00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:44.960
 he did is

00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:45.400
 he set out

00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:46.000
 systematically

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:46.519
 to find out

00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:47.140
 which properties

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:47.720
 he owned

00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:48.720
 and burn

00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:48.960
 them.

00:22:50.860 --> 00:22:51.340
 And the

00:22:51.340 --> 00:22:51.860
 day comes

00:22:51.860 --> 00:22:52.080
 where the

00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:52.420
 young man

00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:52.860
 is caught

00:22:52.860 --> 00:22:53.400
 red-handed

00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:53.740
 in the

00:22:53.740 --> 00:22:54.680
 act and

00:22:54.680 --> 00:22:55.160
 he's brought

00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:55.700
 before the

00:22:55.700 --> 00:22:56.380
 wealthy man

00:22:56.380 --> 00:22:57.700
 and the

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:58.240
 wealthy man

00:22:58.240 --> 00:22:58.759
 says,

00:22:59.480 --> 00:22:59.680
 I will

00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:01.420
 not press

00:23:01.420 --> 00:23:01.920
 charges.

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.220
 Let him

00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:03.500
 go.

00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:04.720
 Let him

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:05.200
 go free.

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:06.580
 That would

00:23:06.580 --> 00:23:07.259
 be mercy,

00:23:07.380 --> 00:23:07.800
 wouldn't it?

00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:08.599
 And that

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:08.839
 would be

00:23:08.839 --> 00:23:09.500
 incredible

00:23:09.500 --> 00:23:10.720
 mercy on

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:11.200
 behalf of

00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:11.659
 that wealthy

00:23:11.659 --> 00:23:12.039
 man.

00:23:12.859 --> 00:23:13.299
 But can

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:13.779
 you imagine

00:23:13.779 --> 00:23:14.119
 if the

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:14.659
 wealthy man

00:23:14.659 --> 00:23:14.980
 were to

00:23:14.980 --> 00:23:15.200
 say,

00:23:15.299 --> 00:23:15.519
 but you

00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:15.899
 know what?

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:16.980
 I will

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:17.319
 do more

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:17.659
 than show

00:23:17.659 --> 00:23:18.079
 mercy.

00:23:19.139 --> 00:23:19.819
 I will

00:23:19.819 --> 00:23:21.119
 offer to

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:21.940
 take this

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.480
 young orphan

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:23.700
 as my

00:23:23.700 --> 00:23:24.220
 own son.

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:26.000
 And I

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:26.359
 will make

00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:27.019
 him heir

00:23:27.019 --> 00:23:28.339
 to all

00:23:28.339 --> 00:23:28.680
 that is

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:29.039
 mine.

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:30.440
 This would

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:31.039
 be grace.

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:32.200
 That young

00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:33.440
 man deserves

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.200
 judgment.

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:35.700
 But he's

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:36.579
 receiving mercy

00:23:36.579 --> 00:23:37.859
 and then

00:23:37.859 --> 00:23:38.379
 grace.

00:23:39.819 --> 00:23:40.460
 God

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:41.319
 is a

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:41.740
 God

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.460
 who is

00:23:42.460 --> 00:23:42.919
 gracious

00:23:42.919 --> 00:23:43.919
 and

00:23:43.919 --> 00:23:44.480
 compassionate

00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:45.679
 to us.

00:23:46.679 --> 00:23:47.019
 And David

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:47.980
 is wowed

00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:50.980
 by how

00:23:50.980 --> 00:23:51.439
 God is

00:23:51.439 --> 00:23:51.879
 slow to

00:23:51.879 --> 00:23:52.240
 anger,

00:23:53.379 --> 00:23:53.960
 rich

00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.579
 in love.

00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:57.579
 This is

00:23:57.579 --> 00:23:57.939
 who my

00:23:57.939 --> 00:23:58.399
 God is.

00:23:58.539 --> 00:23:59.079
 My lips

00:23:59.079 --> 00:23:59.960
 will speak

00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:00.359
 of him,

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:01.699
 of his

00:24:01.699 --> 00:24:02.199
 praise.

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:03.180
 I must

00:24:03.180 --> 00:24:04.059
 speak of

00:24:04.059 --> 00:24:04.319
 my

00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:04.960
 God's

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.980
 rule or

00:24:05.980 --> 00:24:06.200
 his

00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:06.779
 kingdom in

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:07.539
 verses 11

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:08.420
 to 13.

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:08.840
 If you look

00:24:08.840 --> 00:24:09.140
 with me

00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:09.580
 there at

00:24:09.580 --> 00:24:10.220
 verse 11,

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.000
 they tell

00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:12.500
 of the

00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:13.319
 glory of

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:13.580
 your

00:24:13.580 --> 00:24:14.180
 kingdom

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:15.440
 and speak

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:15.740
 of your

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:16.120
 might so

00:24:16.120 --> 00:24:16.480
 that all

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.059
 people may

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.559
 know your

00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:18.220
 mighty acts

00:24:18.220 --> 00:24:18.660
 and the

00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:19.259
 glorious

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:19.920
 splendor

00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.680
 of your

00:24:20.680 --> 00:24:21.080
 kingdom.

00:24:21.080 --> 00:24:21.759
 Your

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.360
 kingdom is

00:24:22.360 --> 00:24:22.880
 an everlasting

00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:24.220
 kingdom and

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:25.620
 your dominion

00:24:25.620 --> 00:24:26.279
 endures

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:26.779
 throughout all

00:24:26.779 --> 00:24:27.380
 generations.

00:24:28.059 --> 00:24:28.279
 Now,

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:29.400
 think of

00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:29.560
 this,

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:29.780
 who's

00:24:29.780 --> 00:24:30.140
 writing?

00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:31.300
 David.

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:32.900
 Of all

00:24:32.900 --> 00:24:33.600
 the kings

00:24:33.600 --> 00:24:34.160
 of Judah,

00:24:34.320 --> 00:24:34.880
 all the kings

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:35.400
 of Israel,

00:24:35.560 --> 00:24:35.780
 where does

00:24:35.780 --> 00:24:36.360
 David write?

00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:38.620
 The greatest.

00:24:40.100 --> 00:24:40.540
 David,

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.280
 it would

00:24:41.280 --> 00:24:41.680
 seem to

00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:42.080
 us,

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:43.540
 could easily

00:24:43.540 --> 00:24:44.019
 write about

00:24:44.019 --> 00:24:44.440
 the greatness

00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:44.940
 of his

00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:45.259
 kingdom.

00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:47.160
 He has

00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:47.600
 nothing to

00:24:47.600 --> 00:24:47.960
 say about

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:48.320
 it here.

00:24:49.380 --> 00:24:50.200
 He speaks

00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:50.460
 of the

00:24:50.460 --> 00:24:51.380
 greatness of

00:24:51.380 --> 00:24:52.380
 God's

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:52.700
 kingdom,

00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:53.600
 which is

00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:53.940
 ultimately

00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:54.540
 the greatness

00:24:54.540 --> 00:24:55.280
 of the

00:24:55.280 --> 00:24:55.680
 promised

00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:56.400
 son of

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:56.759
 David,

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:57.740
 Jesus

00:24:57.740 --> 00:24:58.320
 Christ,

00:24:59.019 --> 00:24:59.380
 king of

00:24:59.380 --> 00:25:00.080
 all kings.

00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:00.980
 And he

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.560
 sees here,

00:25:01.620 --> 00:25:02.020
 he's holding

00:25:02.020 --> 00:25:02.360
 on to

00:25:02.360 --> 00:25:02.980
 these promises

00:25:02.980 --> 00:25:03.560
 of a

00:25:03.560 --> 00:25:04.120
 kingdom that

00:25:04.120 --> 00:25:05.120
 is forever

00:25:05.120 --> 00:25:06.780
 and ever.

00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:07.920
 It's

00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:08.400
 lasting.

00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:09.320
 I must

00:25:09.320 --> 00:25:09.760
 speak of

00:25:09.760 --> 00:25:10.200
 God's

00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:10.740
 rule.

00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:12.120
 But can

00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:12.540
 I ask

00:25:12.540 --> 00:25:12.720
 you,

00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:13.460
 in all

00:25:13.460 --> 00:25:13.960
 seriousness,

00:25:14.340 --> 00:25:14.660
 the psalm

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:15.400
 starts with,

00:25:16.780 --> 00:25:17.180
 in verse

00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:17.480
 one,

00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.140
 I will

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:18.500
 exalt

00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:18.800
 you,

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:19.880
 my

00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:20.340
 God,

00:25:21.540 --> 00:25:23.080
 the

00:25:23.080 --> 00:25:23.480
 king.

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.480
 God's

00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:23.579
 love.

00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:29.079
 I think

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:29.279
 it would

00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.539
 be good

00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:30.059
 for each

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:30.319
 of us

00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:30.640
 to give

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:30.799
 an

00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:31.259
 assessment,

00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:33.319
 is

00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:33.680
 Jesus

00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:34.180
 really

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:35.599
 my

00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:36.000
 God?

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.480
 Genuinely,

00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:41.180
 is he

00:25:41.180 --> 00:25:42.039
 the king

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:44.019
 in my

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.420
 life?

00:25:45.460 --> 00:25:46.160
 Is this

00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:46.559
 Jesus?

00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:47.740
 Is he

00:25:47.740 --> 00:25:48.240
 your king?

00:25:48.360 --> 00:25:48.640
 Does he

00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.299
 have authority

00:25:49.299 --> 00:25:49.960
 over you

00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:51.220
 right now?

00:25:51.880 --> 00:25:52.440
 I must

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:53.039
 speak of

00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:53.640
 my God's

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:54.100
 rule.

00:25:54.740 --> 00:25:55.220
 I must

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.860
 also speak

00:25:55.860 --> 00:25:56.360
 of my

00:25:56.360 --> 00:25:56.960
 God's

00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:57.819
 righteousness

00:25:57.819 --> 00:25:58.640
 in verses

00:25:58.640 --> 00:25:59.279
 14 to

00:25:59.279 --> 00:25:59.600
 20.

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:00.019
 Just look

00:26:00.019 --> 00:26:00.279
 with me

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:00.799
 particularly

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:02.079
 verse 17

00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:02.480
 please.

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:04.539
 The Lord

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.480
 is righteous

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.180
 in all

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:06.819
 his ways

00:26:06.819 --> 00:26:07.519
 and faithful

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:07.940
 in all

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.519
 he does.

00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:09.920
 The Lord

00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:10.400
 is near

00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:10.880
 to all

00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:11.400
 who call

00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:11.840
 on him

00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:14.039
 in truth.

00:26:14.360 --> 00:26:15.220
 He fulfills

00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:15.920
 the desires

00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:16.420
 of those

00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:16.920
 who fear

00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:17.180
 him.

00:26:17.600 --> 00:26:18.079
 He hears

00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:18.579
 their cry

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:19.059
 and saves

00:26:19.059 --> 00:26:19.299
 them.

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:20.220
 The Lord

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:20.619
 watches

00:26:20.619 --> 00:26:21.480
 over all

00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:21.960
 who love

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.960
 him but

00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:23.299
 all the

00:26:23.299 --> 00:26:24.799
 wicked he

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:26.579
 will destroy.

00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:29.079
 The term

00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:29.940
 righteous means

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:30.879
 to put

00:26:30.879 --> 00:26:31.919
 things right.

00:26:32.859 --> 00:26:34.059
 To put

00:26:34.059 --> 00:26:34.879
 things

00:26:34.879 --> 00:26:35.859
 right.

00:26:36.639 --> 00:26:37.299
 Now when we

00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:38.119
 understand what

00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:39.059
 that means

00:26:39.059 --> 00:26:40.899
 that's a really

00:26:40.899 --> 00:26:41.899
 reassuring truth

00:26:41.899 --> 00:26:42.399
 about God

00:26:42.399 --> 00:26:42.799
 isn't it?

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:44.399
 We see a

00:26:44.399 --> 00:26:44.899
 world where

00:26:44.899 --> 00:26:45.659
 things are not

00:26:45.659 --> 00:26:46.180
 put right

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:46.500
 yet.

00:26:47.579 --> 00:26:48.480
 It's very

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:49.019
 reassuring

00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:49.599
 that God

00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:50.180
 will put

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:50.619
 things

00:26:50.619 --> 00:26:51.019
 right.

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:52.160
 He's

00:26:52.160 --> 00:26:52.579
 righteous.

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.039
 However,

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:56.980
 once we

00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:57.299
 see that

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:57.559
 that's

00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:58.059
 reassuring

00:26:58.059 --> 00:26:58.379
 we have

00:26:58.379 --> 00:26:58.980
 to realize

00:26:58.980 --> 00:26:59.819
 God being

00:26:59.819 --> 00:27:00.119
 righteous

00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:01.420
 is terrifying

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:05.539
 because if

00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:05.839
 he's a

00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:06.200
 God who

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:06.639
 puts all

00:27:06.639 --> 00:27:07.299
 things right,

00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:07.759
 if all

00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:08.259
 wrongs must

00:27:08.259 --> 00:27:08.579
 be put

00:27:08.579 --> 00:27:08.940
 right,

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:10.240
 then my

00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:10.940
 wrongs

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:12.759
 must be

00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:13.319
 put right

00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:15.000
 by a

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:15.259
 righteous

00:27:15.259 --> 00:27:15.759
 God.

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.899
 It says,

00:27:18.220 --> 00:27:19.019
 last statement,

00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:20.379
 the wicked

00:27:20.379 --> 00:27:21.879
 he will

00:27:21.879 --> 00:27:22.419
 destroy

00:27:22.419 --> 00:27:23.759
 and the

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:24.099
 next thing

00:27:24.099 --> 00:27:24.439
 he does

00:27:24.439 --> 00:27:24.740
 is go

00:27:24.740 --> 00:27:24.879
 into

00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:25.399
 benediction.

00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:25.779
 My

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:26.259
 mouth will

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:26.799
 praise him.

00:27:28.899 --> 00:27:29.460
 Praise his

00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:29.939
 holy name

00:27:29.939 --> 00:27:30.480
 forever and

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:30.679
 ever.

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:33.439
 Here's what

00:27:33.439 --> 00:27:33.819
 happens,

00:27:33.899 --> 00:27:34.359
 is in

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:35.039
 salvation,

00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:36.919
 God saves

00:27:36.919 --> 00:27:38.819
 people through

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.519
 putting their

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.220
 sins right.

00:27:40.220 --> 00:27:41.420
 God saves

00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:41.960
 me by

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:42.860
 putting my

00:27:42.860 --> 00:27:43.620
 sin right.

00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:45.319
 He

00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:46.079
 reconciles

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:46.680
 us through

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:47.420
 the cross

00:27:47.420 --> 00:27:48.360
 where my

00:27:48.360 --> 00:27:49.360
 sin is

00:27:49.360 --> 00:27:50.019
 completely

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:51.299
 and thoroughly

00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:53.180
 judged with

00:27:53.180 --> 00:27:53.860
 right judgment.

00:27:54.380 --> 00:27:54.960
 Jesus took

00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:55.440
 the judgment

00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:56.240
 I should

00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:56.740
 have got

00:27:56.740 --> 00:27:59.039
 righteousness.

00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:01.240
 Our

00:28:01.240 --> 00:28:01.799
 salvation,

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:02.740
 if you're a

00:28:02.740 --> 00:28:03.140
 brother or

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:03.660
 sister who's

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:04.240
 trusting in

00:28:04.240 --> 00:28:04.519
 Jesus,

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:05.339
 who knows

00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:05.860
 his salvation,

00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:06.240
 we need to

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:06.759
 be clear on

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:06.940
 this,

00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.819
 our salvation

00:28:07.819 --> 00:28:08.460
 only comes

00:28:08.460 --> 00:28:08.880
 to us

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:09.579
 through

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:10.759
 judgment.

00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:12.359
 Jesus

00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:13.539
 took that

00:28:13.539 --> 00:28:14.439
 judgment so

00:28:14.439 --> 00:28:14.759
 we could

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:15.720
 receive mercy,

00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:16.879
 forgiveness,

00:28:17.399 --> 00:28:18.359
 and grace.

00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:19.500
 Salvation

00:28:19.500 --> 00:28:20.199
 through judgment,

00:28:20.399 --> 00:28:20.919
 God puts

00:28:20.919 --> 00:28:21.819
 all things

00:28:21.819 --> 00:28:22.639
 right.

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:23.639
 And this

00:28:23.639 --> 00:28:24.019
 gracious

00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:25.139
 salvation only

00:28:25.139 --> 00:28:25.859
 comes to

00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:26.439
 those who

00:28:26.439 --> 00:28:27.639
 repent and

00:28:27.639 --> 00:28:28.079
 put their

00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:28.919
 trust in

00:28:28.919 --> 00:28:29.439
 God's

00:28:29.439 --> 00:28:29.779
 King,

00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:30.939
 the one who

00:28:30.939 --> 00:28:31.559
 laid down

00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:32.240
 his life for

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:33.099
 them at

00:28:33.099 --> 00:28:33.659
 the cross.

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:34.439
 And he

00:28:34.439 --> 00:28:35.119
 calls on

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.879
 everyone in

00:28:35.879 --> 00:28:36.359
 the world,

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:38.119
 turn to

00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:38.439
 me,

00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:38.500
 me,

00:28:39.140 --> 00:28:39.820
 and be

00:28:39.820 --> 00:28:40.580
 saved,

00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:42.100
 all you

00:28:42.100 --> 00:28:42.680
 ends of

00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:43.259
 the earth,

00:28:43.740 --> 00:28:44.340
 for I

00:28:44.340 --> 00:28:45.120
 am God,

00:28:45.900 --> 00:28:46.420
 there is

00:28:46.420 --> 00:28:47.120
 no other.

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:51.799
 Have you

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:52.220
 turned to

00:28:52.220 --> 00:28:52.400
 him?

00:28:54.600 --> 00:28:55.240
 If you

00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:55.559
 haven't,

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.320
 will you

00:28:56.320 --> 00:28:56.720
 turn to

00:28:56.720 --> 00:28:57.840
 him and

00:28:57.840 --> 00:28:58.420
 be saved?

00:28:58.980 --> 00:28:59.900
 Because he

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:02.080
 delights to

00:29:02.080 --> 00:29:02.340
 save.

00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:02.880
 This is what

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:03.799
 he loves to

00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:03.920
 do.

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.440
 This is what

00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:05.200
 Jesus came

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:05.600
 into the

00:29:05.600 --> 00:29:05.900
 world.

00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:07.700
 He came

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:08.160
 to be our

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:08.540
 king,

00:29:09.100 --> 00:29:09.660
 but he

00:29:09.660 --> 00:29:10.000
 came to

00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:10.340
 be our

00:29:10.340 --> 00:29:10.880
 saving

00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.240
 king.

00:29:12.740 --> 00:29:13.720
 I will

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:14.220
 open my

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:15.040
 mouth and

00:29:15.040 --> 00:29:16.480
 speak of

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:16.680
 your

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:17.200
 righteousness.

00:29:19.100 --> 00:29:19.519
 Then we

00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.040
 have this

00:29:20.040 --> 00:29:20.500
 again,

00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:20.980
 final

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:21.600
 benediction.

00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:22.500
 My mouth

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.100
 will speak,

00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:23.860
 verse 21.

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.100
 My mouth

00:29:25.100 --> 00:29:25.740
 will speak

00:29:25.740 --> 00:29:26.420
 in praise of

00:29:26.420 --> 00:29:26.680
 the Lord.

00:29:26.780 --> 00:29:27.580
 Let every

00:29:27.580 --> 00:29:28.560
 creature praise

00:29:28.560 --> 00:29:28.940
 his holy

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:30.220
 name forever

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:31.660
 and ever.

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:34.940
 David is

00:29:34.940 --> 00:29:36.540
 wowed by

00:29:36.540 --> 00:29:36.960
 the greatness

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.600
 of God.

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:39.240
 David is

00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:40.279
 overwhelmed.

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.000
 So he's

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.540
 put it into

00:29:42.540 --> 00:29:43.120
 words.

00:29:43.500 --> 00:29:44.220
 He's put it

00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:44.980
 into song.

00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:46.060
 He must

00:29:46.060 --> 00:29:46.560
 speak.

00:29:46.860 --> 00:29:47.640
 He has to

00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:47.960
 sing.

00:29:51.460 --> 00:29:52.080
 But can

00:29:52.080 --> 00:29:52.580
 you imagine

00:29:52.580 --> 00:29:54.060
 if this is

00:29:54.060 --> 00:29:54.580
 how wowed

00:29:54.580 --> 00:29:55.420
 David was

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:57.440
 3,000 years

00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:58.940
 ago, how

00:29:58.940 --> 00:29:59.580
 wowed David

00:29:59.580 --> 00:30:00.220
 would be to

00:30:00.220 --> 00:30:00.880
 know what we

00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:01.500
 now know?

00:30:01.660 --> 00:30:04.360
 that a

00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:04.840
 child would

00:30:04.840 --> 00:30:05.360
 be born?

00:30:07.320 --> 00:30:08.040
 That that

00:30:08.040 --> 00:30:08.480
 child would

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.640
 be 100%

00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:10.580
 human and

00:30:10.580 --> 00:30:11.740
 100%

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:12.600
 God?

00:30:12.860 --> 00:30:13.480
 That that

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:14.100
 child would

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.540
 live a

00:30:14.540 --> 00:30:15.900
 perfect life

00:30:15.900 --> 00:30:16.779
 as a

00:30:16.779 --> 00:30:17.480
 substitute in

00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:18.000
 the place of

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.340
 those who

00:30:18.340 --> 00:30:18.779
 couldn't do

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:18.980
 it?

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.380
 That that

00:30:20.380 --> 00:30:21.640
 child would

00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:22.580
 take the

00:30:22.580 --> 00:30:23.220
 judgment of

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:23.820
 God on

00:30:23.820 --> 00:30:24.620
 himself at

00:30:24.620 --> 00:30:25.300
 the cross

00:30:25.300 --> 00:30:27.279
 in love,

00:30:27.400 --> 00:30:27.880
 bearing the

00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:28.240
 sins of

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:28.779
 others when

00:30:28.779 --> 00:30:29.340
 he deserved

00:30:29.340 --> 00:30:30.040
 no judgment?

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.240
 so that

00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:33.480
 he could

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:33.879
 put them

00:30:33.879 --> 00:30:34.279
 right with

00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:34.659
 God?

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.559
 That that

00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:36.079
 child would

00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:36.940
 rise again?

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.740
 That that

00:30:37.740 --> 00:30:38.339
 child would

00:30:38.339 --> 00:30:39.659
 be ascended

00:30:39.659 --> 00:30:40.379
 to heaven and

00:30:40.379 --> 00:30:41.279
 seated at the

00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:42.079
 right hand of

00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:43.019
 God in

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:43.480
 glory?

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:46.420
 That that

00:30:46.420 --> 00:30:47.879
 child will

00:30:47.879 --> 00:30:48.539
 come again

00:30:48.539 --> 00:30:50.019
 and he will

00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:50.500
 put all

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:51.119
 things right?

00:30:51.700 --> 00:30:52.480
 He will

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:53.000
 judge all

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:54.599
 things and

00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:55.399
 he will put

00:30:55.399 --> 00:30:56.019
 things right

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:57.220
 in a new

00:30:57.220 --> 00:30:58.440
 heaven and

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:58.799
 a new

00:30:58.799 --> 00:30:59.119
 earth,

00:30:59.379 --> 00:30:59.960
 the home

00:30:59.960 --> 00:31:00.559
 of

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:01.039
 righteousness

00:31:01.039 --> 00:31:02.180
 where he

00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:02.559
 rules.

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:03.460
 What if

00:31:03.460 --> 00:31:04.680
 David could

00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:04.980
 have seen

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:05.859
 that 3,000

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:06.200
 years ago?

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:06.559
 I wonder

00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:06.920
 what would

00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:07.139
 have been

00:31:07.139 --> 00:31:07.440
 in our

00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:07.740
 Sam.

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:11.359
 David sees

00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:11.879
 it now.

00:31:12.879 --> 00:31:13.720
 He sees

00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:14.119
 it all.

00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:16.019
 Do we

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.420
 see it?

00:31:19.099 --> 00:31:19.859
 David is

00:31:19.859 --> 00:31:20.299
 wowed.

00:31:21.619 --> 00:31:22.039
 Jesus,

00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:23.420
 the

00:31:23.420 --> 00:31:24.059
 completeness

00:31:24.059 --> 00:31:24.700
 of God's

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:25.119
 glory,

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:26.519
 the Alpha

00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:27.159
 and the

00:31:27.159 --> 00:31:27.480
 Omega,

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.500
 the full

00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:28.899
 alphabet,

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:30.200
 the story

00:31:30.200 --> 00:31:30.740
 of redemption.

00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:31.579
 He delights

00:31:31.579 --> 00:31:32.079
 to save.

00:31:32.179 --> 00:31:32.599
 Will you

00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:33.200
 turn to

00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:33.539
 him for

00:31:33.539 --> 00:31:34.019
 salvation

00:31:34.019 --> 00:31:34.500
 today?

00:31:35.379 --> 00:31:35.919
 But how

00:31:35.919 --> 00:31:36.259
 will we

00:31:36.259 --> 00:31:36.819
 respond?

00:31:38.339 --> 00:31:38.940
 Can I

00:31:38.940 --> 00:31:39.440
 just say,

00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:42.460
 I read

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:42.799
 a Sam

00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:43.319
 like this

00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:43.599
 and I'm

00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:43.819
 like,

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:45.539
 I really

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:45.859
 need to

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:46.460
 be wowed

00:31:46.460 --> 00:31:46.839
 more than

00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:47.220
 I am.

00:31:49.179 --> 00:31:49.659
 God,

00:31:49.839 --> 00:31:50.359
 shake the

00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:50.879
 dullness

00:31:50.879 --> 00:31:51.399
 in me

00:31:51.399 --> 00:31:52.700
 so that

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:53.419
 my lips

00:31:53.420 --> 00:31:53.800
 have to

00:31:53.800 --> 00:31:54.880
 open and

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:55.360
 I need

00:31:55.360 --> 00:31:55.820
 to speak

00:31:55.820 --> 00:31:56.480
 like David.

00:31:58.019 --> 00:31:58.759
 We need

00:31:58.759 --> 00:31:58.980
 to be

00:31:58.980 --> 00:31:59.440
 wowed.

00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:01.039
 But also,

00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:01.560
 can I say

00:32:01.560 --> 00:32:01.860
 this?

00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:02.220
 I think

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:03.340
 a response

00:32:03.340 --> 00:32:03.740
 to this

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:04.160
 is,

00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:06.300
 we should

00:32:06.300 --> 00:32:06.860
 open our

00:32:06.860 --> 00:32:07.279
 mouths

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:09.340
 and speak

00:32:09.340 --> 00:32:10.380
 of the

00:32:10.380 --> 00:32:11.680
 praise of

00:32:11.680 --> 00:32:12.460
 this great

00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:12.980
 God,

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:14.060
 if he is

00:32:14.060 --> 00:32:14.600
 our God.

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:16.380
 We need

00:32:16.380 --> 00:32:17.620
 to literally

00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:18.519
 speak,

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:19.360
 not just

00:32:19.360 --> 00:32:20.200
 think about

00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:20.480
 it,

00:32:20.700 --> 00:32:21.779
 but actually

00:32:21.779 --> 00:32:22.840
 speak.

00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:24.059
 think of

00:32:24.059 --> 00:32:24.240
 this,

00:32:24.299 --> 00:32:25.039
 David says

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.579
 in the

00:32:25.579 --> 00:32:25.919
 psalm,

00:32:26.059 --> 00:32:26.399
 look at

00:32:26.399 --> 00:32:26.959
 verse 4,

00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:28.480
 he says,

00:32:29.980 --> 00:32:30.879
 one generation

00:32:30.879 --> 00:32:32.159
 commends

00:32:32.159 --> 00:32:32.939
 your works

00:32:32.939 --> 00:32:33.459
 to another,

00:32:33.819 --> 00:32:34.500
 they tell

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:34.799
 of your

00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:35.459
 mighty acts,

00:32:35.539 --> 00:32:35.959
 they speak

00:32:35.959 --> 00:32:36.220
 of the

00:32:36.220 --> 00:32:36.679
 glorious

00:32:36.679 --> 00:32:37.359
 splendor

00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:38.139
 of your

00:32:38.139 --> 00:32:38.559
 majesty,

00:32:38.679 --> 00:32:38.919
 I will

00:32:38.919 --> 00:32:39.299
 meditate

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:39.699
 on your

00:32:39.699 --> 00:32:40.079
 wonderful

00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:40.539
 works.

00:32:40.699 --> 00:32:40.859
 And he

00:32:40.859 --> 00:32:41.339
 goes on,

00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:43.220
 one generation

00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:44.319
 to another.

00:32:44.879 --> 00:32:45.220
 This is

00:32:45.220 --> 00:32:45.579
 David's

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:45.859
 concern,

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:46.519
 I must

00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:47.480
 speak so

00:32:47.480 --> 00:32:47.799
 that the

00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:48.659
 next generation

00:32:48.659 --> 00:32:49.220
 will also

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:49.939
 speak and

00:32:49.939 --> 00:32:50.459
 the generation

00:32:50.459 --> 00:32:50.959
 after them

00:32:50.959 --> 00:32:51.399
 will also

00:32:51.399 --> 00:32:51.679
 speak.

00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:52.060
 And you

00:32:52.060 --> 00:32:52.279
 know what,

00:32:52.340 --> 00:32:53.039
 David succeeded.

00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:54.120
 Here we

00:32:54.120 --> 00:32:55.019
 are 3,000

00:32:55.019 --> 00:32:55.860
 years later

00:32:55.860 --> 00:32:57.080
 and his

00:32:57.080 --> 00:32:57.640
 words have

00:32:57.640 --> 00:32:58.060
 been passed

00:32:58.060 --> 00:32:58.840
 on generation

00:32:58.840 --> 00:32:59.640
 to generation

00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:00.960
 to us.

00:33:01.900 --> 00:33:02.779
 That's cool.

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:04.200
 That means

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:04.940
 speaking up

00:33:04.940 --> 00:33:05.539
 can make a

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:06.100
 difference

00:33:06.100 --> 00:33:07.220
 generation

00:33:07.220 --> 00:33:08.560
 to generation

00:33:08.560 --> 00:33:10.380
 through time.

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:11.279
 So some

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:11.920
 very practical

00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:12.560
 things I think

00:33:12.560 --> 00:33:13.320
 we should do

00:33:13.320 --> 00:33:13.820
 in relation

00:33:13.820 --> 00:33:14.660
 to a proper

00:33:14.660 --> 00:33:15.480
 response to

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:16.019
 this Sam.

00:33:16.019 --> 00:33:16.080
 Sam.

00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:19.159
 here it

00:33:19.159 --> 00:33:19.460
 is.

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.199
 Open your

00:33:21.199 --> 00:33:22.599
 mouth and

00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:23.099
 speak the

00:33:23.099 --> 00:33:23.500
 praise of

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.859
 the Lord.

00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.720
 But here's

00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:25.299
 some practical

00:33:25.299 --> 00:33:25.919
 realities.

00:33:26.679 --> 00:33:27.240
 We've already

00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:27.720
 done it this

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.019
 morning,

00:33:28.699 --> 00:33:29.939
 but I think

00:33:29.939 --> 00:33:30.299
 we can do

00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:30.599
 it in a

00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:31.019
 more wild

00:33:31.019 --> 00:33:31.379
 way.

00:33:32.439 --> 00:33:32.899
 Sing.

00:33:34.619 --> 00:33:35.359
 Because David

00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:35.699
 wrote a

00:33:35.699 --> 00:33:35.960
 song.

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:37.939
 Sing,

00:33:38.619 --> 00:33:39.579
 be here,

00:33:40.199 --> 00:33:40.799
 and be

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:42.279
 heard when

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:42.639
 it's time

00:33:42.639 --> 00:33:43.119
 to sing.

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:44.179
 Every Sunday

00:33:44.179 --> 00:33:44.879
 we gather

00:33:44.879 --> 00:33:45.399
 is an

00:33:45.399 --> 00:33:45.979
 opportunity

00:33:45.979 --> 00:33:47.219
 to speak

00:33:47.219 --> 00:33:48.000
 of the

00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:48.379
 greatness

00:33:48.379 --> 00:33:49.299
 of our

00:33:49.299 --> 00:33:49.859
 God to

00:33:49.859 --> 00:33:50.239
 those who

00:33:50.239 --> 00:33:50.979
 believe already

00:33:50.979 --> 00:33:51.699
 and those

00:33:51.699 --> 00:33:52.019
 who have

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.359
 yet to

00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:52.759
 believe.

00:33:53.419 --> 00:33:53.819
 So sing.

00:33:54.419 --> 00:33:55.019
 Practical

00:33:55.019 --> 00:33:55.479
 reality.

00:33:55.919 --> 00:33:56.459
 Sing out.

00:33:56.759 --> 00:33:57.199
 Be heard.

00:33:57.579 --> 00:33:58.199
 No auditions.

00:33:59.000 --> 00:33:59.419
 We're all

00:33:59.419 --> 00:34:00.579
 called to

00:34:00.579 --> 00:34:01.619
 speak of

00:34:01.619 --> 00:34:02.139
 his greatness

00:34:02.139 --> 00:34:02.839
 through song.

00:34:04.239 --> 00:34:04.679
 Speak

00:34:04.679 --> 00:34:05.019
 then.

00:34:05.679 --> 00:34:06.000
 Others

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:06.799
 must hear

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:07.459
 of God's

00:34:07.459 --> 00:34:07.859
 greatness.

00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:09.519
 Can I

00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:09.960
 just say

00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:10.400
 a very

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:10.900
 practical

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:11.480
 application

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:11.920
 is in

00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:12.380
 verse 4

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:12.599
 here.

00:34:12.599 --> 00:34:13.380
 The next

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:14.059
 generation

00:34:14.059 --> 00:34:14.900
 needs to

00:34:14.900 --> 00:34:15.099
 hear.

00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:15.460
 Can you

00:34:15.460 --> 00:34:15.920
 imagine a

00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:16.460
 tech company

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:17.360
 that would

00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:17.799
 have decided

00:34:17.799 --> 00:34:18.059
 you know

00:34:18.059 --> 00:34:18.279
 what?

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:19.059
 First

00:34:19.059 --> 00:34:19.599
 generation

00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:19.960
 was

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:20.420
 adequate.

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:21.940
 What if

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:22.659
 Apple

00:34:22.659 --> 00:34:23.119
 decided

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:23.659
 the first

00:34:23.659 --> 00:34:24.139
 iPhone

00:34:24.139 --> 00:34:26.259
 that's

00:34:26.259 --> 00:34:26.539
 all we

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:26.860
 needed.

00:34:27.779 --> 00:34:28.159
 They'd

00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:28.299
 have been

00:34:28.299 --> 00:34:28.559
 left

00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:29.039
 behind.

00:34:29.739 --> 00:34:29.819
 Right?

00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:31.839
 We need

00:34:31.839 --> 00:34:32.480
 to realize

00:34:32.480 --> 00:34:33.679
 that this

00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:34.860
 glorious

00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:35.579
 message needs

00:34:35.579 --> 00:34:36.000
 to pass

00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:36.380
 from our

00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:36.759
 lips to

00:34:36.759 --> 00:34:37.119
 the next

00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:37.679
 generation

00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:38.219
 so that

00:34:38.219 --> 00:34:38.659
 they will

00:34:38.659 --> 00:34:39.019
 tell the

00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:39.279
 next

00:34:39.279 --> 00:34:39.860
 generation

00:34:39.860 --> 00:34:40.400
 so they

00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:40.819
 will tell

00:34:40.819 --> 00:34:41.380
 the next

00:34:41.380 --> 00:34:42.000
 generation.

00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:44.099
 Speak

00:34:44.099 --> 00:34:45.219
 so that

00:34:45.219 --> 00:34:45.719
 generations

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:46.259
 to come

00:34:46.259 --> 00:34:46.759
 will hear.

00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:47.400
 Can I

00:34:47.400 --> 00:34:47.719
 just say

00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:47.960
 a little

00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:48.360
 word to

00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:48.799
 parents?

00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:51.719
 We do

00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.039
 need to

00:34:52.039 --> 00:34:52.539
 focus on

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:52.860
 the next

00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:53.319
 generation

00:34:53.319 --> 00:34:53.699
 hearing.

00:34:54.380 --> 00:34:54.759
 They need

00:34:54.759 --> 00:34:55.099
 to hear

00:34:55.099 --> 00:34:55.440
 it from

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:55.920
 our lips.

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:56.380
 When we

00:34:56.380 --> 00:34:56.739
 come here

00:34:56.739 --> 00:34:57.159
 and sing

00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:57.519
 they need

00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:57.759
 to hear

00:34:57.759 --> 00:34:58.159
 us sing.

00:34:58.539 --> 00:34:59.000
 When we're

00:34:59.000 --> 00:34:59.400
 at home

00:34:59.400 --> 00:34:59.739
 we need

00:34:59.739 --> 00:35:00.199
 to speak

00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:00.420
 of the

00:35:00.420 --> 00:35:00.679
 greatness

00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:01.199
 of God

00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:01.579
 and take

00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:02.159
 opportunities

00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:02.619
 to point

00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:03.039
 our children

00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:03.380
 to the

00:35:03.380 --> 00:35:03.639
 greatness

00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:04.279
 of God.

00:35:05.219 --> 00:35:05.679
 And what I

00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:06.039
 just say

00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:06.759
 don't miss

00:35:06.759 --> 00:35:07.420
 opportunities

00:35:07.420 --> 00:35:08.000
 to bring

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:08.559
 your children

00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:09.039
 to places

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:09.440
 where they

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:10.000
 will hear

00:35:10.000 --> 00:35:10.679
 of the

00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:10.940
 greatness

00:35:10.940 --> 00:35:11.500
 of God.

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:12.699
 That probably

00:35:12.699 --> 00:35:13.320
 means a lot

00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:13.860
 more trips

00:35:13.860 --> 00:35:14.199
 to the

00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:14.840
 petrol station

00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.260
 to fill

00:35:15.260 --> 00:35:16.179
 up and

00:35:16.179 --> 00:35:16.440
 pay.

00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:18.860
 That means

00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:19.360
 a lot more

00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:20.039
 time driving

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:20.539
 around in

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:21.059
 your car

00:35:21.059 --> 00:35:22.480
 and prioritizing

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:22.920
 where you're

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:23.300
 going to bring

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:23.719
 your children

00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:24.280
 because my

00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:25.219
 children must

00:35:25.219 --> 00:35:27.320
 hear of the

00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:27.699
 greatness

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:29.000
 of this

00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:29.400
 God.

00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:31.159
 Practical

00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:31.699
 application.

00:35:32.099 --> 00:35:32.219
 For

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:32.579
 Carigline

00:35:32.579 --> 00:35:32.940
 Baptist

00:35:32.940 --> 00:35:33.260
 can I

00:35:33.260 --> 00:35:33.639
 just say

00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:35.320
 to encourage

00:35:35.320 --> 00:35:35.599
 you,

00:35:36.179 --> 00:35:36.659
 you are

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:37.380
 known for

00:35:37.380 --> 00:35:38.000
 your concern

00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:38.420
 for next

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:39.039
 generations.

00:35:39.260 --> 00:35:39.579
 It's already

00:35:39.579 --> 00:35:40.059
 been announced

00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:40.599
 this morning

00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:41.400
 that amazing

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:41.840
 things going

00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:42.099
 on with

00:35:42.099 --> 00:35:42.539
 youth and

00:35:42.539 --> 00:35:42.860
 children.

00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:44.500
 And can I

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:44.780
 say,

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:45.800
 they must

00:35:45.800 --> 00:35:46.159
 know our

00:35:46.159 --> 00:35:46.579
 God.

00:35:47.500 --> 00:35:48.000
 And I

00:35:48.000 --> 00:35:48.420
 know this

00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:49.000
 concerns you

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:49.360
 and I

00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:49.780
 know it's

00:35:49.780 --> 00:35:50.519
 very costly

00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:51.199
 to invest

00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:51.480
 in the

00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:51.679
 next

00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:52.239
 generation.

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:53.420
 Could I

00:35:53.420 --> 00:35:53.739
 just say

00:35:53.739 --> 00:35:54.059
 keep

00:35:54.059 --> 00:35:54.559
 enduring

00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:55.039
 in that?

00:35:55.780 --> 00:35:56.099
 Keep

00:35:56.099 --> 00:35:56.820
 speaking to

00:35:56.820 --> 00:35:57.119
 them of

00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:57.480
 the greatness

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:58.119
 of God.

00:35:58.719 --> 00:35:59.360
 We trust

00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:00.059
 that generations

00:36:00.059 --> 00:36:00.579
 to come

00:36:00.579 --> 00:36:01.059
 will hear

00:36:01.059 --> 00:36:01.639
 from them

00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.099
 about how

00:36:03.099 --> 00:36:03.679
 great and

00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:04.340
 how wowed

00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:04.619
 they've

00:36:04.619 --> 00:36:05.840
 become by

00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:06.300
 our great

00:36:06.300 --> 00:36:06.699
 God.

00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:08.739
 Also speak

00:36:08.739 --> 00:36:09.019
 of your

00:36:09.019 --> 00:36:09.739
 future hope.

00:36:10.420 --> 00:36:10.900
 The psalm,

00:36:11.460 --> 00:36:11.880
 to an

00:36:11.880 --> 00:36:12.280
 extent,

00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:13.300
 the psalm

00:36:13.300 --> 00:36:14.159
 feels like,

00:36:14.579 --> 00:36:14.760
 well,

00:36:15.400 --> 00:36:15.960
 where's the

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:17.179
 realism of

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:17.860
 the previous

00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:18.320
 psalms?

00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:18.739
 Because in

00:36:18.739 --> 00:36:19.139
 the previous

00:36:19.139 --> 00:36:19.360
 psalms,

00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:19.780
 there's lots

00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:20.199
 of real

00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:20.739
 life stuff

00:36:20.739 --> 00:36:21.000
 in there.

00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:21.760
 This seems

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:22.480
 almost too

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:22.840
 good.

00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:24.280
 It's kind

00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:24.679
 of too

00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:25.280
 utopian.

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:27.739
 But I

00:36:27.739 --> 00:36:28.079
 think what

00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:28.380
 it is,

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:28.699
 is that

00:36:28.699 --> 00:36:29.059
 David,

00:36:29.260 --> 00:36:29.820
 as he

00:36:29.820 --> 00:36:30.219
 ages,

00:36:30.480 --> 00:36:30.860
 realizes,

00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:31.900
 you know

00:36:31.900 --> 00:36:32.079
 what,

00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:32.360
 what I'm

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:32.980
 talking about

00:36:32.980 --> 00:36:33.300
 in this

00:36:33.300 --> 00:36:33.820
 psalm is

00:36:33.820 --> 00:36:34.300
 real life.

00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:35.019
 It's the

00:36:35.019 --> 00:36:36.159
 life to

00:36:36.159 --> 00:36:36.639
 come.

00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:37.380
 And I'm

00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:38.099
 full of

00:36:38.099 --> 00:36:38.579
 anticipation.

00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:39.300
 Notice how

00:36:39.300 --> 00:36:39.760
 many times

00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:40.260
 David talks

00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:40.820
 about forever

00:36:40.820 --> 00:36:41.400
 and ever.

00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:42.800
 He's

00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:43.720
 anticipating the

00:36:43.720 --> 00:36:44.619
 life to

00:36:44.619 --> 00:36:44.940
 come.

00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:46.059
 And so

00:36:46.059 --> 00:36:46.340
 there's a

00:36:46.340 --> 00:36:46.800
 little word

00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:47.200
 here for

00:36:47.200 --> 00:36:47.559
 those of

00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:48.019
 us who

00:36:48.019 --> 00:36:49.780
 hesitate,

00:36:51.240 --> 00:36:51.860
 are aging.

00:36:52.019 --> 00:36:52.480
 How's that?

00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:54.220
 I don't want to

00:36:54.220 --> 00:36:54.599
 call anybody

00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:55.200
 aged yet.

00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:58.480
 But this

00:36:58.480 --> 00:36:59.579
 utopian

00:36:59.579 --> 00:37:00.339
 outlook is

00:37:00.339 --> 00:37:01.159
 truly life.

00:37:01.579 --> 00:37:01.899
 There's a

00:37:01.899 --> 00:37:02.219
 member of

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:02.879
 our congregation

00:37:02.879 --> 00:37:03.319
 now in

00:37:03.319 --> 00:37:04.059
 his 90s

00:37:04.059 --> 00:37:04.460
 and his

00:37:04.460 --> 00:37:05.099
 health is

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:05.859
 really

00:37:05.859 --> 00:37:06.259
 slipping.

00:37:07.259 --> 00:37:07.799
 And his

00:37:07.799 --> 00:37:08.219
 mind is

00:37:08.219 --> 00:37:08.639
 slipping a

00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:08.799
 bit.

00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:09.559
 He says

00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:09.939
 to me,

00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:10.939
 when I go

00:37:10.939 --> 00:37:11.419
 visit him

00:37:11.419 --> 00:37:12.919
 several times

00:37:12.919 --> 00:37:13.139
 in the

00:37:13.139 --> 00:37:13.539
 conversation,

00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:13.960
 maybe three,

00:37:14.059 --> 00:37:14.460
 four times,

00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:14.939
 he'll say,

00:37:15.399 --> 00:37:15.719
 oh, what

00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:16.039
 part of

00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:16.639
 America are

00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:17.000
 you from?

00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:18.039
 And I

00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:18.379
 say, well,

00:37:18.399 --> 00:37:18.759
 I'm actually

00:37:18.759 --> 00:37:19.399
 Canadian.

00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:21.139
 And he's

00:37:21.139 --> 00:37:21.439
 always, what

00:37:21.439 --> 00:37:21.759
 part of

00:37:21.759 --> 00:37:22.039
 Canada?

00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:22.599
 Oh, I'm

00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:22.919
 from the

00:37:22.919 --> 00:37:23.899
 west, in

00:37:23.900 --> 00:37:24.240
 the mountains.

00:37:24.420 --> 00:37:24.880
 Oh, right,

00:37:24.920 --> 00:37:25.240
 you're from

00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:25.460
 the west.

00:37:25.500 --> 00:37:25.720
 What's it

00:37:25.720 --> 00:37:26.099
 like there?

00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:26.260
 Do you

00:37:26.260 --> 00:37:26.559
 like it

00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:26.740
 there?

00:37:27.440 --> 00:37:28.079
 And then

00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:29.240
 maybe seven

00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:29.780
 minutes later,

00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:30.220
 we have the

00:37:30.220 --> 00:37:30.940
 same conversation

00:37:30.940 --> 00:37:31.579
 again and

00:37:31.579 --> 00:37:31.880
 again.

00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:32.559
 He keeps

00:37:32.559 --> 00:37:33.180
 springing up.

00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:33.559
 But you

00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:34.400
 know, this

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:35.079
 man, before

00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:35.539
 he started

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:35.960
 to slip

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:36.940
 mentally, and

00:37:36.940 --> 00:37:37.300
 now that

00:37:37.300 --> 00:37:37.720
 he's slipped

00:37:37.720 --> 00:37:38.740
 mentally, there

00:37:38.740 --> 00:37:39.539
 is one line

00:37:39.539 --> 00:37:40.539
 he repeats

00:37:40.539 --> 00:37:41.660
 five to ten

00:37:41.660 --> 00:37:42.340
 times every

00:37:42.340 --> 00:37:42.900
 time I visit

00:37:42.900 --> 00:37:43.400
 him, and

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:44.000
 it's this,

00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:45.340
 Bryce.

00:37:46.539 --> 00:37:46.900
 And he

00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:47.860
 says it with

00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:48.579
 emotion in

00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:49.260
 his voice and

00:37:49.260 --> 00:37:50.019
 often tears

00:37:50.019 --> 00:37:50.579
 in his eyes.

00:37:51.240 --> 00:37:52.900
 Bryce, the

00:37:52.900 --> 00:37:53.340
 Lord.

00:37:53.900 --> 00:37:55.119
 has been so

00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.039
 good to

00:37:57.039 --> 00:37:57.360
 me.

00:37:58.240 --> 00:37:58.960
 He can't

00:37:58.960 --> 00:37:59.619
 stop saying

00:37:59.619 --> 00:38:00.440
 it, whether

00:38:00.440 --> 00:38:01.619
 fully in his

00:38:01.619 --> 00:38:02.220
 right mind or

00:38:02.220 --> 00:38:02.680
 slipping.

00:38:03.300 --> 00:38:04.380
 He has to

00:38:04.380 --> 00:38:04.940
 speak these

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:05.900
 words again

00:38:05.900 --> 00:38:07.220
 and again

00:38:07.220 --> 00:38:08.320
 and again.

00:38:08.740 --> 00:38:09.260
 If we're

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:10.360
 aging, we've

00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:11.099
 still got words

00:38:11.099 --> 00:38:11.740
 to speak, just

00:38:11.740 --> 00:38:12.260
 like David

00:38:12.260 --> 00:38:13.639
 does in

00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:14.240
 this psalm.

00:38:15.059 --> 00:38:15.740
 David cannot

00:38:15.740 --> 00:38:16.760
 contain God's

00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:17.059
 greatness.

00:38:17.240 --> 00:38:17.740
 He says,

00:38:18.160 --> 00:38:19.119
 verse 21,

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:19.960
 my mouth

00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:22.619
 will speak

00:38:22.619 --> 00:38:23.659
 in praise

00:38:23.659 --> 00:38:23.960
 of the

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:24.179
 Lord.

00:38:24.259 --> 00:38:24.739
 Let every

00:38:24.739 --> 00:38:25.099
 creature

00:38:25.099 --> 00:38:25.759
 praise his

00:38:25.759 --> 00:38:26.519
 holy name

00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:27.699
 forever and

00:38:27.699 --> 00:38:27.920
 ever.

00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:28.799
 Can I say

00:38:28.799 --> 00:38:29.460
 just to you,

00:38:29.839 --> 00:38:30.279
 brothers and

00:38:30.279 --> 00:38:31.539
 sisters, let

00:38:31.539 --> 00:38:32.239
 it be said

00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:33.599
 of Keragoline

00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.099
 Baptist

00:38:34.099 --> 00:38:36.420
 Church, these

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:38.199
 people actually

00:38:38.199 --> 00:38:39.099
 believe in this

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:40.940
 great God, and

00:38:40.940 --> 00:38:42.039
 they can't help

00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:43.179
 opening their

00:38:43.179 --> 00:38:44.920
 mouths to

00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:46.420
 speak and to

00:38:46.420 --> 00:38:47.699
 sing of the

00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:49.399
 greatness of

00:38:49.399 --> 00:38:49.859
 their Lord.

00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:51.219
 Let's pray.

00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:53.139
 Father, we

00:38:53.139 --> 00:38:53.619
 thank you for

00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:54.259
 these words of

00:38:54.259 --> 00:38:54.539
 David.

00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:56.239
 We confess

00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:58.399
 that we're

00:38:58.399 --> 00:38:59.039
 often not

00:38:59.039 --> 00:38:59.500
 wowed as

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:00.199
 David was,

00:39:01.439 --> 00:39:02.259
 but we know

00:39:02.259 --> 00:39:02.879
 that him led

00:39:02.879 --> 00:39:03.500
 by the Spirit

00:39:03.500 --> 00:39:04.059
 has brought us

00:39:04.059 --> 00:39:04.639
 these words.

00:39:04.799 --> 00:39:05.259
 Would you lead

00:39:05.259 --> 00:39:05.739
 us by your

00:39:05.739 --> 00:39:06.359
 Spirit to be

00:39:06.359 --> 00:39:07.119
 wowed by your

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:08.659
 greatness and

00:39:08.659 --> 00:39:09.259
 then to open

00:39:09.259 --> 00:39:11.259
 our mouths and

00:39:11.259 --> 00:39:13.960
 speak of your

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:14.419
 majesty?

00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:16.119
 Amen.

00:39:17.699 --> 00:39:32.279
 Thanks very

00:39:32.279 --> 00:39:32.939
 much, Bryce.

00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:37.719
