with my holy oil have I anointed him: 00:09:03.045 --> 00:09:08.245 With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 00:09:09.245 --> 00:09:13.885 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 00:09:14.685 --> 00:09:20.035 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 00:09:21.355 --> 00:09:26.065 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my 00:09:26.065 --> 00:09:28.185 name shall his horn be exalted. 00:09:29.455 --> 00:09:34.315 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 00:09:35.065 --> 00:09:41.115 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 00:09:42.755 --> 00:09:47.075 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 00:09:48.045 --> 00:09:53.955 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 00:09:55.025 --> 00:09:59.015 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his 00:09:59.025 --> 00:10:00.965 throne as the days of heaven. 00:10:02.895 --> 00:10:10.395 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; If they break my 00:10:10.395 --> 00:10:17.225 statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with 00:10:17.225 --> 00:10:19.625 the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 00:10:20.435 --> 00:10:25.995 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor 00:10:25.995 --> 00:10:27.755 suffer my faithfulness to fail. 00:10:28.755 --> 00:10:33.545 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 00:10:34.275 --> 00:10:37.855 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 00:10:39.345 --> 00:10:45.075 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 00:10:46.495 --> 00:10:51.725 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. 00:10:52.205 --> 00:10:52.745 Selah. 00:10:54.875 --> 00:11:00.485 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 00:11:01.185 --> 00:11:06.655 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his 00:11:06.655 --> 00:11:08.825 crown by casting it to the ground. 00:11:09.765 --> 00:11:15.375 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 00:11:16.505 --> 00:11:22.215 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 00:11:23.565 --> 00:11:27.325 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast 00:11:27.355 --> 00:11:29.495 made all his enemies to rejoice. 00:11:30.465 --> 00:11:35.055 Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made 00:11:35.055 --> 00:11:36.265 him to stand in the battle. 00:11:37.295 --> 00:11:41.795 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 00:11:42.635 --> 00:11:48.265 The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. 00:11:49.045 --> 00:11:49.615 Selah. 00:11:51.185 --> 00:11:52.315 How long, Lord? 00:11:52.445 --> 00:11:54.115 wilt thou hide thyself for ever? 00:11:54.945 --> 00:11:56.745 shall thy wrath burn like fire? 00:11:57.625 --> 00:12:02.995 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 00:12:03.765 --> 00:12:06.485 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? 00:12:07.275 --> 00:12:10.075 shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? 00:12:10.395 --> 00:12:10.935 Selah. 00:12:12.935 --> 00:12:16.765 Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou 00:12:16.765 --> 00:12:18.765 swarest unto David in thy truth? 00:12:19.735 --> 00:12:25.205 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom 00:12:25.215 --> 00:12:27.305 the reproach of all the mighty people; 00:12:28.225 --> 00:12:32.055 Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O Lord; wherewith they have reproached 00:12:32.595 --> 00:12:34.255 the footsteps of thine anointed. 00:12:35.665 --> 00:12:37.985 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. 00:12:37.985 --> 00:12:39.465 Amen, and Amen. 00:12:49.805 --> 00:12:55.465 Psalm 90 - A Prayer of Moses the man of God. 00:12:57.885 --> 00:13:01.585 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 00:13:02.685 --> 00:13:06.605 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed 00:13:06.605 --> 00:13:12.505 the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 00:13:14.665 --> 00:13:20.945 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 00:13:21.565 --> 00:13:25.945 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is 00:13:25.945 --> 00:13:28.755 past, and as a watch in the night. 00:13:29.135 --> 00:13:36.025 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning 00:13:36.035 --> 00:13:37.945 they are like grass which groweth up. 00:13:38.745 --> 00:13:42.915 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening 00:13:43.235 --> 00:13:45.255 it is cut down, and withereth. 00:13:47.115 --> 00:13:52.895 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 00:13:54.175 --> 00:13:59.755 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in 00:13:59.755 --> 00:14:01.405 the light of thy countenance. 00:14:02.935 --> 00:14:07.275 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our 00:14:07.275 --> 00:14:09.285 years as a tale that is told. 00:14:10.575 --> 00:14:15.115 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of 00:14:15.115 --> 00:14:20.285 strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; 00:14:21.175 --> 00:14:23.645 for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 00:14:25.025 --> 00:14:26.785 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? 00:14:27.255 --> 00:14:30.125 even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 00:14:31.285 --> 00:14:36.795 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 00:14:38.225 --> 00:14:40.465 Return, O Lord, how long? 00:14:41.265 --> 00:14:43.925 and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 00:14:45.905 --> 00:14:50.655 early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 00:14:52.195 --> 00:14:57.275 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and 00:14:57.275 --> 00:14:59.195 the years wherein we have seen evil. 00:15:00.455 --> 00:15:05.785 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 00:15:06.935 --> 00:15:11.575 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the 00:15:11.575 --> 00:15:17.845 work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
