00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.060
 as you are tuning in

00:00:07.060 --> 00:00:11.040
 let me open us up with a word of prayer

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:13.240
 would you bow with me

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.540
 God we come and just pray that

00:00:15.540 --> 00:00:17.059
 you would just help us

00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:19.420
 quieten ourselves before you this evening

00:00:19.420 --> 00:00:21.679
 God that we would just calm

00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:23.039
 calm our thoughts

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.580
 God that we would

00:00:25.580 --> 00:00:27.679
 just put the concerns

00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:29.019
 that we brought in this evening and just

00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:31.759
 God hold those

00:00:31.759 --> 00:00:33.560
 at bay for us so that

00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:35.780
 we can be open to you

00:00:35.780 --> 00:00:37.340
 and open to your spirit and

00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:39.759
 open to your teaching God so

00:00:39.759 --> 00:00:41.820
 that we can pray

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:43.219
 with conviction

00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:45.159
 so God that we can

00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.620
 pray with great

00:00:47.620 --> 00:00:50.019
 insight and pray in ways

00:00:50.019 --> 00:00:51.879
 that glorify you

00:00:51.879 --> 00:00:53.739
 God in ways that

00:00:53.739 --> 00:00:55.439
 expose us for who we are

00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.439
 we ask all this in your name amen

00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:00.839
 so if you look at

00:01:00.839 --> 00:01:01.979
 Psalm 18

00:01:01.979 --> 00:01:04.659
 we'll preface this with a few things

00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:06.159
 one of those is that

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:08.640
 the message this evening is

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.579
 is a message to

00:01:10.579 --> 00:01:12.679
 followers of Jesus

00:01:12.679 --> 00:01:13.900
 and

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:14.719
 so

00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:16.280
 that is the

00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:17.459
 the approach that I'm taking

00:01:17.459 --> 00:01:18.579
 so if

00:01:18.579 --> 00:01:20.359
 you are a follower of Jesus

00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:21.560
 this message is for you

00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:23.400
 if that's not a decision

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.140
 that has been made

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:26.560
 then

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:28.760
 the message for you this evening

00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:29.280
 would be

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.340
 follow Jesus

00:01:30.340 --> 00:01:31.540
 and

00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:33.719
 the also

00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:34.740
 just want to

00:01:34.740 --> 00:01:38.359
 provide some of the terminology

00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:38.900
 that I'll use

00:01:38.900 --> 00:01:39.659
 and

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:40.620
 so the

00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:42.159
 the word for God

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:42.800
 that I'll be using

00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:43.520
 is the Lord

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:44.700
 as much as I can

00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:45.980
 and the reason I'll be using that

00:01:45.980 --> 00:01:46.800
 is because that's the

00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:48.620
 that's the phrasing here

00:01:48.620 --> 00:01:49.300
 in the psalm

00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:49.579
 and so

00:01:49.579 --> 00:01:50.980
 when I refer to the Lord

00:01:50.980 --> 00:01:52.180
 that refers to God

00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:52.540
 but I

00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:53.740
 might say God

00:01:53.740 --> 00:01:54.800
 and mean Lord

00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:55.960
 and say Lord

00:01:55.960 --> 00:01:56.460
 and mean God

00:01:56.460 --> 00:01:56.719
 so

00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:57.600
 the same

00:01:57.600 --> 00:01:58.700
 and

00:01:58.700 --> 00:01:59.900
 and then

00:01:59.900 --> 00:02:01.200
 finally

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.219
 Psalm 18

00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:02.939
 is

00:02:02.939 --> 00:02:04.020
 is a long read

00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:04.900
 and

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:05.620
 so

00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:06.680
 just in

00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.240
 in thought

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:09.219
 of our time

00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:09.659
 that we have

00:02:09.659 --> 00:02:11.560
 I'll be using

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.080
 a format

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.500
 to help us get through

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:16.020
 the entire psalm

00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:16.900
 but

00:02:16.900 --> 00:02:18.080
 to do that

00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.400
 we'll actually

00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:20.760
 read it in sections

00:02:20.760 --> 00:02:22.020
 and so

00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:23.680
 the

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.160
 I've divided the psalm

00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:25.920
 up into sections

00:02:25.920 --> 00:02:27.020
 and so I'll be reading those

00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:27.800
 and

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.219
 then parts of what would be

00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:30.140
 a little bit different too

00:02:30.140 --> 00:02:30.700
 is that

00:02:30.700 --> 00:02:31.800
 often

00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:32.460
 in a sermon

00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:33.500
 we read the

00:02:33.500 --> 00:02:34.280
 the passage

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:34.760
 and then

00:02:34.760 --> 00:02:36.040
 it's explained to us

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:37.200
 in this case

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:38.300
 I'm actually going to explain

00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:39.260
 before we read

00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:40.200
 and the

00:02:40.200 --> 00:02:41.360
 purpose for doing that

00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:42.439
 is that

00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:43.939
 I want the

00:02:43.939 --> 00:02:44.600
 the psalm

00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:45.300
 to be able to speak

00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:45.879
 for itself

00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:46.960
 and so

00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:47.879
 hopefully I'm going to try to

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:48.759
 set you up

00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.460
 so that you're ready to hear the psalm

00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:51.060
 and allow it

00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:52.240
 to speak for itself

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.439
 and then

00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:54.139
 finally also

00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:54.759
 just in

00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.000
 recognition of just the length

00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.299
 of this psalm

00:02:58.299 --> 00:02:58.719
 is that

00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:00.099
 I will try to be succinct

00:03:00.099 --> 00:03:00.900
 in what I say

00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:01.859
 so I

00:03:01.859 --> 00:03:03.280
 the words will be few

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:03.759
 hopefully

00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:04.719
 and

00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:05.719
 and then we will be

00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:06.539
 into the passage

00:03:06.539 --> 00:03:08.819
 so to

00:03:08.819 --> 00:03:10.919
 to set us up

00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:12.259
 the

00:03:12.259 --> 00:03:13.319
 the question I have for you

00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:13.539
 is

00:03:13.539 --> 00:03:16.039
 when you find yourself

00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:16.819
 in weakness

00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:17.719
 from

00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.039
 where do you

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:19.840
 seek strength

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.199
 do you

00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:21.500
 seek

00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:22.459
 strength

00:03:22.459 --> 00:03:23.199
 from family

00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.239
 from well

00:03:25.239 --> 00:03:27.259
 perhaps you

00:03:27.259 --> 00:03:27.899
 seek strength

00:03:27.899 --> 00:03:29.000
 from your charisma

00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.879
 or your intelligence

00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.519
 perhaps you're

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:33.319
 well connected

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.019
 a person of power

00:03:35.019 --> 00:03:35.780
 and influence

00:03:35.780 --> 00:03:37.060
 perhaps you have

00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:38.000
 good friends

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:38.620
 and you know

00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:39.379
 just who to call

00:03:39.379 --> 00:03:41.080
 perhaps you have

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:41.599
 that little thing

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:42.479
 we call grit

00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:43.520
 that strength

00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:43.939
 of will

00:03:43.939 --> 00:03:45.259
 so in that moment

00:03:45.259 --> 00:03:45.699
 of weakness

00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:46.879
 you rely upon it

00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.259
 well I can tell you this

00:03:49.259 --> 00:03:50.599
 that whatever

00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.039
 earthly qualities

00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.039
 that you possess

00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.120
 whatever

00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:55.599
 things that God

00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:56.740
 has blessed you with

00:03:56.740 --> 00:03:58.780
 that God

00:03:58.780 --> 00:03:59.460
 blessed David

00:03:59.460 --> 00:03:59.800
 more

00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:01.400
 David who is

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:02.039
 the psalmist

00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.960
 is someone who has

00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:04.840
 all that the world

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.360
 could offer

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.440
 and this is the psalm

00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:08.340
 that David says

00:04:08.340 --> 00:04:10.220
 so

00:04:10.220 --> 00:04:11.180
 I would say

00:04:11.180 --> 00:04:12.560
 as we look at this

00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.060
 we're going to see

00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:13.680
 that David

00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.000
 in the time of weakness

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.439
 he seeks strength

00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:17.080
 and protection

00:04:17.080 --> 00:04:17.720
 from the Lord

00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:18.900
 not earthly things

00:04:18.900 --> 00:04:19.759
 and if David

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.580
 is willing to make

00:04:20.580 --> 00:04:21.100
 that choice

00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:22.280
 then so should we

00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:23.939
 let us look here

00:04:23.939 --> 00:04:25.379
 at the first portion

00:04:25.379 --> 00:04:26.300
 of Psalm 18

00:04:26.300 --> 00:04:27.639
 with the idea

00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:28.780
 of the Lord

00:04:28.780 --> 00:04:29.759
 protects

00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.319
 beginning in verse 1

00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:34.099
 I love you

00:04:34.099 --> 00:04:34.839
 O Lord

00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:35.579
 my strength

00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:36.439
 the Lord

00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:37.379
 is my rock

00:04:37.379 --> 00:04:38.300
 and my fortress

00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:39.519
 and my deliverer

00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:40.459
 my God

00:04:40.459 --> 00:04:41.319
 my rock

00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:42.459
 in whom I take refuge

00:04:42.459 --> 00:04:43.420
 my shield

00:04:43.420 --> 00:04:44.139
 and the horn

00:04:44.139 --> 00:04:45.000
 of my salvation

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.339
 my stronghold

00:04:46.339 --> 00:04:48.519
 I call upon the Lord

00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:49.800
 who is worthy

00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:50.879
 to be praised

00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.240
 and I am saved

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.300
 from my enemies

00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:58.699
 we see that the Lord

00:04:58.699 --> 00:04:59.300
 protects

00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:01.740
 but to what purpose

00:05:01.740 --> 00:05:02.840
 does the Lord protect

00:05:02.840 --> 00:05:05.020
 it is certainly

00:05:05.020 --> 00:05:06.480
 not to a life

00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:07.199
 of ease

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.620
 despite the protection

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:11.620
 of the Lord

00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:13.040
 the psalmist

00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:14.340
 still faces

00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:15.680
 great difficulty

00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.620
 and we will see

00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:20.680
 that as the psalmist

00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:21.939
 calls upon the Lord

00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:23.120
 the Lord

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.040
 hears

00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:24.879
 his cries

00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.920
 now I want you to see

00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:27.660
 that the Lord

00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:28.240
 hears

00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.540
 beginning in verse 4

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:31.920
 the cords of death

00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:32.699
 encompassed me

00:05:32.699 --> 00:05:33.819
 the torrents

00:05:33.819 --> 00:05:34.500
 of destruction

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:35.160
 assailed me

00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.879
 the cords of Sheol

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:37.699
 entangled me

00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:39.579
 the snares of death

00:05:39.579 --> 00:05:40.540
 confronted me

00:05:40.540 --> 00:05:41.980
 in my distress

00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:43.900
 I called upon the Lord

00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:44.939
 to my God

00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:46.240
 I cried for help

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.460
 from his temple

00:05:47.460 --> 00:05:48.660
 he heard my voice

00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:50.439
 and my cry

00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:51.000
 to him

00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:51.759
 reached

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:53.220
 his ears

00:05:53.220 --> 00:05:57.000
 so we see

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.699
 that the Lord

00:05:57.699 --> 00:05:58.139
 here

00:05:58.139 --> 00:05:59.399
 not only does he

00:05:59.399 --> 00:05:59.819
 hear

00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:01.379
 but he also

00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:02.360
 responds

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.079
 to the very

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:04.899
 foundations

00:06:04.899 --> 00:06:06.180
 of the earth

00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:07.899
 he responds

00:06:07.899 --> 00:06:10.899
 and the Lord

00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:12.240
 he is formidable

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:13.620
 he is fearsome

00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:15.360
 he is terrifying

00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:18.159
 are you comfortable

00:06:18.159 --> 00:06:19.259
 of thinking of the Lord

00:06:19.259 --> 00:06:20.039
 in this fashion

00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:22.500
 if not

00:06:22.500 --> 00:06:23.060
 then why

00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:25.220
 and if so

00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:26.759
 does your

00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.019
 personal prayer life

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:28.860
 reflect this

00:06:28.860 --> 00:06:29.280
 comfort

00:06:29.280 --> 00:06:30.360
 with understanding

00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:30.980
 the Lord

00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:31.819
 as formidable

00:06:31.819 --> 00:06:33.019
 as fearsome

00:06:33.019 --> 00:06:33.959
 and as terrifying

00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:37.060
 now I want you to hear

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:38.079
 how the Lord

00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:39.259
 thunders

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:40.779
 beginning in verse 7

00:06:40.779 --> 00:06:42.919
 then the earth

00:06:42.919 --> 00:06:43.559
 reeled

00:06:43.559 --> 00:06:44.239
 and rocked

00:06:44.239 --> 00:06:45.119
 and the foundations

00:06:45.119 --> 00:06:46.479
 also of the mountains

00:06:46.479 --> 00:06:46.899
 trembled

00:06:46.899 --> 00:06:47.559
 and quaked

00:06:47.559 --> 00:06:49.199
 because he was angry

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.859
 smoke went up

00:06:50.859 --> 00:06:51.859
 from his nostrils

00:06:51.859 --> 00:06:53.039
 and devouring

00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:53.659
 fire

00:06:53.659 --> 00:06:54.679
 from his mouth

00:06:54.679 --> 00:06:56.539
 glowing coals

00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:57.459
 flamed forth

00:06:57.459 --> 00:06:57.959
 from him

00:06:57.959 --> 00:06:59.459
 he bowed

00:06:59.459 --> 00:07:00.219
 the heavens

00:07:00.219 --> 00:07:01.159
 and came down

00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:02.579
 thick darkness

00:07:02.579 --> 00:07:04.139
 was under his feet

00:07:04.139 --> 00:07:05.939
 he rode on a cherub

00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:06.539
 and flew

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:08.060
 he came swiftly

00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:09.060
 on the wings

00:07:09.060 --> 00:07:09.680
 of the wind

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.319
 he made darkness

00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:11.920
 his covering

00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.800
 his canopy

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:13.379
 around him

00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:14.680
 thick clouds

00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:15.780
 dark with water

00:07:15.780 --> 00:07:17.340
 out of the brightness

00:07:17.340 --> 00:07:18.120
 before him

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:18.960
 hell stones

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:19.700
 and coals

00:07:19.700 --> 00:07:20.300
 of fires

00:07:20.300 --> 00:07:21.160
 broke through

00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:21.879
 his clouds

00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.259
 the Lord

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:24.600
 also thundered

00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:25.360
 in the heavens

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:26.520
 and the most high

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:27.800
 uttered his voice

00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:28.920
 hell stones

00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:29.759
 and coals

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:30.400
 of fire

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:31.800
 and he sent out

00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:32.420
 his arrows

00:07:32.420 --> 00:07:33.460
 and scattered them

00:07:33.460 --> 00:07:34.740
 he flashed forth

00:07:34.740 --> 00:07:35.580
 lightnings

00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:36.879
 and routed them

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:37.959
 then the channels

00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:38.599
 of the sea

00:07:38.599 --> 00:07:39.139
 were seen

00:07:39.139 --> 00:07:40.339
 and the foundations

00:07:40.339 --> 00:07:41.039
 of the world

00:07:41.039 --> 00:07:41.899
 would lay bare

00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:42.939
 at your rebuke

00:07:42.939 --> 00:07:43.680
 oh Lord

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.399
 and the blast

00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:45.800
 of it

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:46.800
 the breath

00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:48.240
 of your nostrils

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.740
 we have seen

00:07:53.740 --> 00:07:54.439
 that people

00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:55.419
 matter to the Lord

00:07:55.419 --> 00:07:57.339
 he protects them

00:07:57.339 --> 00:07:58.419
 and hears them

00:07:58.419 --> 00:08:00.659
 we have seen

00:08:00.659 --> 00:08:01.819
 the fearsomeness

00:08:01.819 --> 00:08:02.659
 of the Lord

00:08:02.659 --> 00:08:04.639
 he thunders

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:07.399
 we find that

00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:07.860
 the Lord

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:08.839
 holds all

00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:09.779
 things together

00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:11.979
 and makes plans

00:08:11.979 --> 00:08:12.959
 for the individual

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.000
 the Lord

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:15.839
 makes plans

00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:16.860
 for the individual

00:08:16.860 --> 00:08:20.180
 personally

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:22.300
 I can't make plans

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:23.519
 to get three families

00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:24.599
 at my house

00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:25.800
 at the same time

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:27.800
 but yet

00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:28.579
 the Lord

00:08:28.579 --> 00:08:30.639
 in his plans

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.800
 is able

00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:32.939
 to focus

00:08:32.939 --> 00:08:34.100
 on the individuals

00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:37.620
 why does the Lord

00:08:37.620 --> 00:08:38.100
 do this

00:08:38.100 --> 00:08:39.220
 why does the Lord

00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:40.639
 show such great concern

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.399
 for individuals

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.740
 we see that

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:44.720
 the Lord

00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:45.779
 delights

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.000
 in some people

00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:48.680
 now I want you

00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:49.519
 to hear how

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:50.600
 the Lord

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:51.500
 rescues

00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:52.600
 beginning in verse

00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:53.240
 16

00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:56.580
 he sent from

00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:57.019
 on high

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:57.740
 he took me

00:08:57.740 --> 00:08:58.639
 he drew me

00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.560
 out of the waters

00:08:59.560 --> 00:09:01.480
 he rescued me

00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:02.899
 from my strong

00:09:02.899 --> 00:09:03.259
 enemy

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:04.019
 from my strong

00:09:04.019 --> 00:09:04.980
 enemy

00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:06.379
 for they were

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:07.259
 too mighty

00:09:07.259 --> 00:09:07.800
 for me

00:09:07.800 --> 00:09:09.740
 they confronted me

00:09:09.740 --> 00:09:10.379
 in the day

00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:11.220
 of my calamity

00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:12.360
 but the Lord

00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:13.220
 was my support

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:14.460
 he brought me

00:09:14.460 --> 00:09:15.320
 out into

00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:16.580
 a broad place

00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:18.800
 he rescued me

00:09:18.800 --> 00:09:19.639
 because

00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.560
 he delighted

00:09:21.560 --> 00:09:22.440
 in

00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:23.340
 me

00:09:23.340 --> 00:09:27.960
 so why does

00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:28.539
 the Lord

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:29.639
 delight in some

00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:29.960
 people

00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.480
 because they

00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:33.159
 are righteous

00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.080
 no they are

00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:35.340
 not

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:35.960
 they are not

00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:36.340
 perfect

00:09:36.340 --> 00:09:37.059
 and yes

00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:37.580
 they are still

00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:37.939
 sinners

00:09:37.939 --> 00:09:39.960
 but they are

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:40.720
 true to their

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:41.100
 Lord

00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:42.500
 in their actions

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:42.919
 and their

00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:43.319
 thoughts

00:09:43.319 --> 00:09:46.360
 does the Lord

00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:47.080
 ever seem far

00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:47.559
 from you

00:09:47.559 --> 00:09:50.120
 does this

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:50.720
 relationship

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:51.779
 that's described

00:09:51.779 --> 00:09:52.519
 here in this

00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:52.939
 psalm

00:09:52.939 --> 00:09:54.120
 seem alien

00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:54.679
 to you

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.839
 the question

00:09:56.839 --> 00:09:57.479
 I would have

00:09:57.479 --> 00:09:58.739
 is are you

00:09:58.739 --> 00:09:59.279
 righteous

00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.500
 I think the

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:02.199
 pitfall of

00:10:02.199 --> 00:10:02.439
 many

00:10:02.439 --> 00:10:04.139
 would be what

00:10:04.139 --> 00:10:04.839
 I would call

00:10:04.839 --> 00:10:05.639
 conditional

00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:06.299
 righteousness

00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:08.739
 have the

00:10:08.739 --> 00:10:09.500
 audacity

00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:10.779
 to say to

00:10:10.779 --> 00:10:11.179
 the Lord

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:12.559
 I will

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:13.620
 follow you

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:14.699
 completely

00:10:14.699 --> 00:10:16.000
 once I

00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.679
 experience

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:17.620
 the blessing

00:10:17.620 --> 00:10:20.519
 to the Lord

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.839
 we do not

00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:22.559
 get to say

00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.219
 if you do

00:10:24.219 --> 00:10:24.639
 this

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:25.319
 then

00:10:25.319 --> 00:10:26.000
 I will

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:26.559
 do that

00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:28.839
 I want

00:10:28.839 --> 00:10:29.279
 you to hear

00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:29.659
 now

00:10:29.659 --> 00:10:30.419
 why

00:10:30.419 --> 00:10:31.319
 the Lord

00:10:31.319 --> 00:10:32.339
 rewards

00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:34.719
 so we will

00:10:34.719 --> 00:10:35.239
 see that the

00:10:35.239 --> 00:10:36.059
 Lord rewards

00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:37.079
 beginning in

00:10:37.079 --> 00:10:37.679
 verse 20

00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.359
 the Lord

00:10:40.359 --> 00:10:40.979
 dealt with me

00:10:40.979 --> 00:10:41.739
 according to

00:10:41.739 --> 00:10:42.439
 my righteousness

00:10:42.439 --> 00:10:43.739
 according to

00:10:43.739 --> 00:10:44.559
 the cleanness

00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:45.419
 of my hands

00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:46.019
 he rewarded

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:46.279
 me

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.239
 for I have

00:10:47.239 --> 00:10:47.839
 kept the

00:10:47.839 --> 00:10:48.399
 ways of the

00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:48.599
 Lord

00:10:48.599 --> 00:10:49.319
 and have

00:10:49.319 --> 00:10:50.459
 not wickedly

00:10:50.459 --> 00:10:51.039
 departed

00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.779
 from my

00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:52.139
 God

00:10:52.139 --> 00:10:53.339
 for all

00:10:53.339 --> 00:10:54.159
 his rules

00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:54.899
 were before

00:10:54.899 --> 00:10:55.159
 me

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:55.739
 and his

00:10:55.739 --> 00:10:56.419
 statutes

00:10:56.419 --> 00:10:57.399
 I did not

00:10:57.399 --> 00:10:57.899
 put away

00:10:57.899 --> 00:10:58.359
 from me

00:10:58.359 --> 00:10:59.719
 I was

00:10:59.719 --> 00:11:00.579
 blameless

00:11:00.579 --> 00:11:01.279
 before him

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:02.019
 and I

00:11:02.019 --> 00:11:02.979
 kept myself

00:11:02.979 --> 00:11:04.319
 from guilt

00:11:04.319 --> 00:11:05.939
 so the

00:11:05.939 --> 00:11:06.639
 Lord has

00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:08.240
 rewarded me

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.460
 according to

00:11:09.460 --> 00:11:10.199
 my righteousness

00:11:10.199 --> 00:11:11.399
 according to

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.299
 the cleanness

00:11:12.299 --> 00:11:13.059
 of my hands

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:13.580
 in his sight

00:11:13.580 --> 00:11:14.699
 with the

00:11:14.699 --> 00:11:15.179
 merciful

00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:15.919
 you show

00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:16.379
 yourself

00:11:16.379 --> 00:11:16.879
 merciful

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:17.740
 with the

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:18.279
 blameless

00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:18.559
 man

00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:19.240
 you show

00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:19.759
 yourself

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.199
 blameless

00:11:20.199 --> 00:11:20.899
 with the

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:21.419
 purified

00:11:21.419 --> 00:11:22.179
 you show

00:11:22.179 --> 00:11:22.679
 yourself

00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.080
 pure

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:23.899
 with the

00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:24.299
 crooked

00:11:24.299 --> 00:11:25.240
 you make

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:25.720
 yourself

00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:26.159
 seem

00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:26.899
 torturous

00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:28.559
 for you

00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.379
 save a

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:29.759
 humble

00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:30.259
 person

00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:31.000
 but the

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.480
 haughty

00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:31.980
 eyes

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:32.700
 you

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:33.519
 bring

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.299
 down

00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:39.719
 I have

00:11:39.719 --> 00:11:40.120
 a question

00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:40.620
 for you

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:43.459
 supposing

00:11:43.459 --> 00:11:43.799
 that you

00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:44.199
 had some

00:11:44.199 --> 00:11:44.639
 money you

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:45.079
 wanted to

00:11:45.079 --> 00:11:45.539
 invest

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:47.459
 would you

00:11:47.459 --> 00:11:48.279
 invest it

00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:49.159
 with an

00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:49.559
 accountant

00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.120
 who is

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.719
 currently

00:11:51.719 --> 00:11:52.939
 in prison

00:11:52.939 --> 00:11:54.659
 because that

00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:55.039
 accountant

00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:56.620
 was overseeing

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:57.199
 a Ponzi

00:11:57.199 --> 00:11:57.599
 scheme

00:11:57.599 --> 00:11:58.099
 and has

00:11:58.099 --> 00:11:58.719
 defrauded

00:11:58.719 --> 00:12:00.099
 millions of

00:12:00.099 --> 00:12:00.719
 dollars from

00:12:00.719 --> 00:12:01.039
 people

00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:03.159
 would you

00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:03.639
 invest

00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:04.039
 with such

00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:04.480
 a person

00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.519
 of course

00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:06.919
 not

00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:08.639
 the

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:09.240
 Lord

00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:10.120
 is similar

00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:10.759
 with his

00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:11.179
 blessings

00:12:11.179 --> 00:12:13.000
 the

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:13.459
 Lord

00:12:13.459 --> 00:12:14.139
 gives to

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:14.319
 the

00:12:14.319 --> 00:12:14.659
 righteous

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:15.519
 because

00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:15.919
 such

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:16.519
 blessings

00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:17.500
 will not

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:17.919
 be

00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.039
 misused

00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:20.519
 now

00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:20.779
 I want

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:21.000
 you to

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:21.319
 see

00:12:21.319 --> 00:12:21.819
 that the

00:12:21.819 --> 00:12:22.259
 Lord

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:23.059
 gives

00:12:23.059 --> 00:12:24.059
 beginning

00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:24.519
 in verse

00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.000
 28

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.820
 for it

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:28.360
 is you

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:28.639
 who

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:28.960
 light

00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:29.159
 my

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:29.539
 lamp

00:12:29.539 --> 00:12:30.100
 for

00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:30.340
 the

00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:31.139
 Lord

00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:31.440
 my

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:31.879
 God

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.480
 lightens

00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:32.740
 my

00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:33.200
 darkness

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:34.179
 for

00:12:34.179 --> 00:12:34.440
 by

00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:34.860
 you

00:12:34.860 --> 00:12:35.220
 I

00:12:35.220 --> 00:12:35.600
 cannot

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:36.059
 run

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:36.379
 against

00:12:36.379 --> 00:12:36.559
 a

00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:36.779
 troop

00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:37.340
 and

00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:37.620
 by

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:37.919
 my

00:12:37.919 --> 00:12:38.220
 God

00:12:38.220 --> 00:12:38.539
 I

00:12:38.539 --> 00:12:38.759
 can

00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:39.200
 leap

00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:39.679
 over

00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:39.960
 a

00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:40.399
 wall

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.120
 this

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.539
 God

00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:42.039
 his

00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:42.480
 way

00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:42.899
 is

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:43.360
 perfect

00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:43.899
 the

00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:44.379
 word

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:44.539
 of

00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:44.740
 the

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:45.059
 Lord

00:12:45.059 --> 00:12:45.480
 proves

00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:45.840
 true

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:46.480
 he

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:46.759
 is

00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:46.960
 a

00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:47.399
 shield

00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:47.639
 for

00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:47.980
 all

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:48.220
 those

00:12:48.220 --> 00:12:48.360
 who

00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:48.580
 take

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:49.039
 refuge

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:49.259
 in

00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:49.500
 him

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:50.419
 for

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:50.840
 who

00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:51.139
 is

00:12:51.139 --> 00:12:51.620
 God

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:51.899
 but

 Lord

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:53.100
 and

00:12:53.100 --> 00:12:53.440
 who

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:53.700
 is

00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:53.879
 a

00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:54.279
 rock

00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:54.939
 except

00:12:54.939 --> 00:12:55.339
 our

00:12:55.339 --> 00:12:55.779
 God

00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:57.100
 the

00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:57.459
 God

00:12:57.459 --> 00:12:57.620
 who

00:12:57.620 --> 00:12:57.959
 equipped

00:12:57.959 --> 00:12:58.120
 me

00:12:58.120 --> 00:12:58.339
 with

00:12:58.339 --> 00:12:58.799
 strength

00:12:58.799 --> 00:12:59.480
 and

00:12:59.480 --> 00:12:59.939
 made

00:12:59.939 --> 00:13:00.279
 my

00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:00.579
 way

00:13:00.579 --> 00:13:01.100
 blameless

00:13:01.100 --> 00:13:01.860
 he

00:13:01.860 --> 00:13:02.240
 made

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:02.459
 my

00:13:02.459 --> 00:13:02.980
 feet

00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:03.500
 like

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:03.699
