00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.799 Consume them with your burning anger. 00:12:39.369 --> 00:12:42.789 Let their homes become desolate and their tens be deserted 00:12:43.719 --> 00:12:45.189 to the one you have punished. 00:12:45.369 --> 00:12:46.989 They add insult to injury. 00:12:47.529 --> 00:12:49.839 They add to the pain of those you have hurt. 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.919 Pile their sins up high and don't let them go free. 00:12:54.819 --> 00:12:56.889 Erase their names from the book of life. 00:12:57.369 --> 00:12:59.289 Don't let them be counted among the righteous. 00:13:00.129 --> 00:13:02.289 I am suffering and in pain. 00:13:03.069 --> 00:13:04.659 Rescue me, oh God. 00:13:04.719 --> 00:13:09.879 By your saving power, then I will praise God's name with singing and 00:13:09.884 --> 00:13:11.559 I will honor him with thanksgiving. 00:13:12.189 --> 00:13:15.219 For this will please the Lord more than sacrificing cattle. 00:13:15.429 --> 00:13:18.369 More than presenting a bull with its horns and hooves. 00:13:18.939 --> 00:13:22.149 The humble will see their God at work and be glad. 00:13:22.689 --> 00:13:25.299 Let all who seek God's help be encouraged.

and earth the sea is, and all that move in 00:13:36.009 --> 00:13:40.719 them for God will save Jerusalem and rebuild the towns of Judah. 00:13:41.319 --> 00:13:44.469 His people will live there and settle in their own land. 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:49.719 The descendants of those who obey him will inherit the land, and those who 00:13:49.719 --> 00:13:52.749 love him will live there in safety. 00:13:55.269 --> 00:14:02.679 Psalm 70 for the choir director, a Psalm of David asking God to remember him. 00:14:03.789 --> 00:14:05.619 Please God, rescue me. 00:14:06.129 --> 00:14:10.239 Come quickly, Lord, and help me may those who try to kill me 00:14:10.329 --> 00:14:12.579 be humiliated and put to shame. 00:14:13.104 --> 00:14:16.734 May those who take delight in my trouble be turned back in disgrace. 00:14:17.424 --> 00:14:19.314 Let them be horrified by their shame. 00:14:19.524 --> 00:14:22.434 For they said, aha, we've got him now. 00:14:23.304 --> 00:14:27.744 But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. 00:14:28.404 --> 00:14:31.044 May those who love your salvation repeatedly. 00:14:31.044 --> 00:14:37.584 Shout God is great, but as for me, I am
