Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:09.070 I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far off wilderness. 00:05:10.225 --> 00:05:12.205 I lie awake, lonely. 00:05:12.205 --> 00:05:17.095 As a solitary bird on the roof, my enemies taunt me day after 00:05:17.095 --> 00:05:19.825 day, they mock and curse me. 00:05:20.545 --> 00:05:22.075 I eat ashes for food. 00:05:22.645 --> 00:05:25.225 My tears run down into my drink. 00:05:25.765 --> 00:05:31.255 Because of your anger and wrath for you have picked me up and thrown me out. 00:05:31.975 --> 00:05:35.035 My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. 00:05:35.815 --> 00:05:38.005 I am withering away like grass. 00:05:39.265 --> 00:05:42.685 But you oh Lord, will sit on your throne forever. 00:05:43.375 --> 00:05:46.075 Your fame will endure to every generation. 00:05:46.855 --> 00:05:51.115 You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem, and now 00:05:51.115 --> 00:05:52.585 is the time to pity her. 00:05:53.425 --> 00:05:57.565 Now is the time you promised to help for your people. 00:05:57.565 --> 00:06:02.515 Love every stone in her walls and cherish even the dust in her streets. 00:06:03.355 --> 00:06:05.875 Then the nations will tremble before the Lord. 00:06:06.745 --> 00:06:10.045 The kings of the Earth will tremble before his glory. 00:06:10.585 --> 00:06:13.135 For the Lord will rebuild Jerusalem. 00:06:13.975 --> 00:06:15.925 He will appear in his glory. 00:06:16.375 --> 00:06:18.775 He will listen to the prayers of the destitute. 00:06:19.405 --> 00:06:21.295 He will not reject their pleas. 00:06:22.345 --> 00:06:26.515 Let this be recorded for future generations so that a people not 00:06:26.515 --> 00:06:28.405 yet born will praise the Lord. 00:06:29.365 --> 00:06:32.575 Tell them the Lord looked down from his heavenly sanctuary. 00:06:33.265 --> 00:06:37.975 He looked down to earth from heaven to hear the groans of the prisoners 00:06:38.545 --> 00:06:40.915 to release those condemned to die. 00:06:41.785 --> 00:06:47.665 And so the Lord's fame will be celebrated in Zion, his praises in Jerusalem 00:06:48.385 --> 00:06:53.305 when multitudes gather together and kingdoms come to worship the Lord. 00:06:54.325 --> 00:06:58.675 He broke my strength in midlife cutting short my days. 00:06:59.395 --> 00:07:04.015 But I cried to him, oh my God, who lives forever. 00:07:04.375 --> 00:07:07.135 Don't take my life while I am so young. 00:07:08.335 --> 00:07:11.845 Long ago, you laid the foundation of the earth and made the 00:07:11.845 --> 00:07:13.465 heavens with your hands. 00:07:14.185 --> 00:07:17.005 They will perish, but you remain forever. 00:07:17.845 --> 00:07:19.855 They will wear out like old clothing. 00:07:20.425 --> 00:07:23.725 You will change them like a garment and discard them. 00:07:24.415 --> 00:07:26.455 But you are always the same. 00:07:26.785 --> 00:07:27.955 You will live forever. 00:07:28.645 --> 00:07:31.555 The children of your people will live in security. 00:07:32.125 --> 00:07:35.695 Their children's children will thrive in your presence. 00:07:38.245 --> 00:07:42.445 Psalm 103, A Psalm of David. 00:07:43.405 --> 00:07:44.575 Let all that I am. 00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:47.485 Praise the Lord with my whole heart. 00:07:47.785 --> 00:07:49.525 I will praise his holy name. 00:07:50.365 --> 00:07:51.295 Let all that I am. 00:07:51.295 --> 00:07:52.435 Praise the Lord. 00:07:52.825 --> 00:07:55.795 May I never forget the good things he does for me. 00:07:56.575 --> 00:08:00.415 He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. 00:08:01.105 --> 00:08:06.025 He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. 00:08:06.925 --> 00:08:09.325 He fills my life with good things. 00:08:09.955 --> 00:08:12.325 My youth is renewed like the eagles. 00:08:13.135 --> 00:08:18.175 The Lord gives righteousness and justice to all who are treated unfairly. 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:23.680 He revealed his character to Moses and his deeds to the people of Israel. 00:08:24.550 --> 00:08:29.080 The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry 00:08:29.410 --> 00:08:31.570 and filled with unfailing love. 00:08:32.860 --> 00:08:36.730 He will not constantly accuse us, nor remain forever. 00:08:37.540 --> 00:08:39.850 He does not punish us for all our sins. 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:45.070 He does not deal harshly with us as we deserve for his unfailing 00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:46.570 love toward those who fear him. 00:08:46.915 --> 00:08:49.855 Is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. 00:08:51.115 --> 00:08:55.345 He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. 00:08:56.425 --> 00:09:01.285 The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate. 00:09:01.290 --> 00:09:02.335 To those who fear him. 00:09:03.235 --> 00:09:04.975 For he knows how weak we are. 00:09:05.245 --> 00:09:07.435 He remembers we are only dust. 00:09:08.275 --> 00:09:12.295 Our days on Earth are like grass, like wildflowers. 00:09:12.295 --> 00:09:14.185 We bloom and die. 00:09:14.875 --> 00:09:19.465 The wind blows and we are gone as though we had never been here. 00:09:20.845 --> 00:09:24.625 But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. 00:09:25.405 --> 00:09:29.125 His salvation extends to the children's children of those who 00:09:29.125 --> 00:09:33.685 are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandments. 00:09:34.825 --> 00:09:37.375 The Lord has made the heavens his throne. 00:09:37.945 --> 00:09:40.315 From there, he rules over everything. 00:09:41.155 --> 00:09:43.225 Praise the Lord, you angels. 00:09:43.870 --> 00:09:49.030 You mighty ones who carry out his plans listening for each of his commands. 00:09:49.930 --> 00:09:50.440 Yes. 00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:55.420 Praise the Lord you armies of angels who serve him and do his will. 00:09:56.020 --> 00:09:57.100 Praise the Lord. 00:09:57.100 --> 00:10:00.760 Everything he has created everything and all his kingdom. 00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:03.220 Let all that I am. 00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:04.900 Praise the Lord. 00:10:07.450 --> 00:10:09.130 Psalm 104. 00:10:10.660 --> 00:10:11.740 Let all that I am. 00:10:11.745 --> 00:10:12.940 Praise the Lord. 00:10:13.885 --> 00:10:16.255 Oh Lord, my God, how great you are. 00:10:17.005 --> 00:10:19.645 You are robed with honor and majesty. 00:10:20.395 --> 00:10:22.225 You are dressed in a robe of light. 00:10:22.825 --> 00:10:25.375 You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens. 00:10:26.035 --> 00:10:27.865 You lay out the rafters of your home. 00:10:27.865 --> 00:10:32.365 In the rain clouds, you make the clouds, your chariot, you 00:10:32.365 --> 00:10:34.315 ride upon the wings of the wind. 00:10:35.065 --> 00:10:37.135 The winds are your messengers. 00:10:37.555 --> 00:10:39.685 Flames of fire are your servants. 00:10:40.585 --> 00:10:44.605 You place the world on its foundation so it would never be moved. 00:10:45.205 --> 00:10:49.345 You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even 00:10:49.350 --> 00:10:51.595 the mountains at your command. 00:10:52.045 --> 00:10:56.575 The water fled at the sound of your thunder and hurried away 00:10:57.325 --> 00:11:01.555 mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed. 00:11:02.485 --> 00:11:07.135 Then you set a firm boundary for the seas so they would never again cover the earth. 00:11:07.975 --> 00:11:11.065 You make springs pour water into the ravines. 00:11:11.485 --> 00:11:17.185 So streams gush down from the mountains, they provide water for all the animals, 00:11:17.605 --> 00:11:20.005 and the wild donkeys quench their thirst. 00:11:20.695 --> 00:11:25.495 The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees. 00:11:26.365 --> 00:11:30.715 You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the 00:11:30.715 --> 00:11:32.425 earth with the fruit of your labor. 00:11:33.520 --> 00:11:38.680 You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use you. 00:11:38.680 --> 00:11:40.930 Allow them to produce food from the earth. 00:11:41.260 --> 00:11:43.060 Wine to make them glad. 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.040 Olive oil to soothe their skin and bread to give them strength. 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:51.460 The trees of the Lord are well cared for. 00:11:51.910 --> 00:11:57.010 The cedars of Lebanon that he planted there, the birds make their nests and the 00:11:57.010 --> 00:11:59.200 storks make their homes in the cypresses. 00:12:00.175 --> 00:12:04.255 High and the mountains live the wild goats and the rocks form 00:12:04.255 --> 00:12:05.485 a refuge for the high Rees. 00:12:06.985 --> 00:12:11.935 You made the moon to mark the seasons and the sun knows when to set. 00:12:12.565 --> 00:12:16.105 You send the darkness and it becomes night when all the 00:12:16.110 --> 00:12:18.025 forest animals prow all about. 00:12:18.775 --> 00:12:24.085 Then the young lions roar for their prey, stalking the food provided by God. 00:12:24.985 --> 00:12:28.255 At dawn, they slink back into their dens to rest. 00:12:29.170 --> 00:12:32.710 Then people go off to their work where they labor until evening. 00:12:33.730 --> 00:12:38.200 Oh, lord, what a variety of things you have made in wisdom. 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:39.580 You have made them all. 00:12:40.150 --> 00:12:42.280 The earth is full of your creatures. 00:12:43.180 --> 00:12:44.260 Here is the ocean. 00:12:44.380 --> 00:12:50.260 Vast and wide teeming with life of every kind, both large and small. 00:12:51.190 --> 00:12:56.770 See the ships sailing along and Leviathan, which you made to play in the sea. 00:12:57.640 --> 00:13:01.180 They all depend on you to give them food as they need it. 00:13:02.170 --> 00:13:03.940 When you supply it, they gather it. 00:13:04.450 --> 00:13:08.170 You open your hand to feed them, and they are richly satisfied. 00:13:09.160 --> 00:13:11.290 But if you turn away from them, they panic. 00:13:12.010 --> 00:13:16.480 When you take away their breath, they die and turn again to dust. 00:13:16.740 --> 00:13:20.950 When you give them your breath, life is created and you 00:13:20.950 --> 00:13:22.720 renew the face of the earth. 00:13:23.650 --> 00:13:26.350 May the glory of the Lord continue forever. 00:13:27.430 --> 00:13:29.230 The Lord takes pleasure in all. 00:13:29.230 --> 00:13:32.590 He has made the earth trembles at his glance. 00:13:33.010 --> 00:13:35.020 The mountains smoke at his touch. 00:13:35.770 --> 00:13:37.180 I will sing to the Lord. 00:13:37.180 --> 00:13:39.520 As long as I live, I will. 00:13:39.520 --> 00:13:42.700 Praise my God to my last breath. 00:13:43.750 --> 00:13:45.850 May all my thoughts be pleasing to him. 00:13:46.090 --> 00:13:47.950 For I rejoice in the Lord. 00:13:48.610 --> 00:13:51.190 Let all sinners vanish from the face of the earth. 00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:53.680 Let the wicked disappear forever. 00:13:54.805 --> 00:13:56.035 Let all that I am. 00:13:56.035 --> 00:13:57.505 Praise the Lord. 00:13:58.405 --> 00:13:59.845 Praise the Lord. 00:14:01.705 --> 00:14:04.555 This concludes
