nine. 00:00:04.721 --> 00:00:08.771 Psalm 35, a Psalm of David. 00:00:09.821 --> 00:00:10.601 Oh Lord. 00:00:11.381 --> 00:00:13.511 Oppose those who oppose me. 00:00:14.291 --> 00:00:16.811 Fight those who fight against me. 00:00:17.651 --> 00:00:20.621 Put on your armor and take up your shield. 00:00:21.041 --> 00:00:23.711 Prepare for battle, and come to my aid. 00:00:24.446 --> 00:00:28.436 Lift up your spear and javelin against those who pursue me. 00:00:28.886 --> 00:00:32.216 Let me hear you say, I will give you victory. 00:00:32.996 --> 00:00:36.296 Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me. 00:00:36.626 --> 00:00:39.926 Turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me. 00:00:40.826 --> 00:00:43.256 Blow them away like chaff in the wind. 00:00:43.946 --> 00:00:46.316 A wind sent by the angel of the Lord. 00:00:47.186 --> 00:00:52.316 Make their path dark and slippery with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. 00:00:53.081 --> 00:00:56.081 I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me. 00:00:56.951 --> 00:01:00.311 I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me. 00:01:01.061 --> 00:01:06.071 So let sudden ruin come upon them, let them be caught in the trap they 00:01:06.071 --> 00:01:10.451 set for me, let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me. 00:01:11.621 --> 00:01:13.721 Then I will rejoice in the Lord. 00:01:14.021 --> 00:01:19.391 I will be glad because he rescues me with every bone in my body. 00:01:19.391 --> 00:01:21.821 I will praise him, Lord. 00:01:22.376 --> 00:01:24.266 Who can compare with you? 00:01:24.536 --> 00:01:27.416 Who else rescues the helpless from the strong? 00:01:27.686 --> 00:01:31.226 Who else protects the helpless and poor from those who rob them? 00:01:32.456 --> 00:01:35.036 Malicious witnesses testify against me. 00:01:35.696 --> 00:01:38.366 They accuse me of crimes I know nothing about. 00:01:39.176 --> 00:01:41.036 They repay me evil for good. 00:01:41.996 --> 00:01:43.616 I am sick with despair. 00:01:44.396 --> 00:01:47.306 Yet when they were ill, I grieved for them. 00:01:48.491 --> 00:01:53.711 I denied myself by fasting for them, but my prayers returned unanswered. 00:01:54.461 --> 00:01:59.441 I was sad as though they were my friends or family as if I were 00:01:59.441 --> 00:02:04.721 grieving for my own mother, but they are glad now that I am in trouble. 00:02:05.111 --> 00:02:07.481 They gleefully joined together against me. 00:02:08.261 --> 00:02:10.811 I am attacked by people I don't even know. 00:02:11.111 --> 00:02:12.881 They slander me constantly. 00:02:13.481 --> 00:02:15.461 They mock me and call me names. 00:02:15.671 --> 00:02:17.021 They snarl at me. 00:02:18.251 --> 00:02:22.781 How long, oh Lord, will you look on and do nothing? 00:02:23.681 --> 00:02:26.081 Rescue me from their fierce attacks. 00:02:26.351 --> 00:02:30.881 Protect my life from these lions, then I will thank you 00:02:30.881 --> 00:02:32.381 in front of the Great assembly. 00:02:32.981 --> 00:02:35.081 I will praise you before all the people. 00:02:35.951 --> 00:02:39.311 Don't let my treacherous enemies rejoice over my defeat. 00:02:40.061 --> 00:02:44.351 Don't let those who hate me without cause gloat over my sorrow. 00:02:45.101 --> 00:02:46.511 They don't talk of peace. 00:02:47.006 --> 00:02:50.366 They plot against innocent people who mind their own business. 00:02:50.606 --> 00:02:54.026 They shout, aha, aha, with our own eyes. 00:02:54.026 --> 00:02:55.226 We saw him do it. 00:02:56.456 --> 00:02:58.616 Oh Lord, you know all about this. 00:02:59.606 --> 00:03:01.016 Do not stay silent. 00:03:01.556 --> 00:03:03.086 Do not abandon me now. 00:03:03.091 --> 00:03:03.716 Oh Lord. 00:03:04.316 --> 00:03:05.066 Wake up. 00:03:05.516 --> 00:03:07.136 Rise to my defense. 00:03:07.436 --> 00:03:10.316 Take up my case, my God and my Lord. 00:03:11.066 --> 00:03:12.866 Declare me not guilty. 00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:15.986 Oh Lord, my God, for you give justice. 00:03:16.811 --> 00:03:20.021 Don't let my enemies laugh about me in my troubles. 00:03:20.261 --> 00:03:23.861 Don't let them say, look, we got what we wanted. 00:03:24.101 --> 00:03:25.841 Now we will eat him alive. 00:03:27.041 --> 00:03:31.511 May those who rejoice at my troubles, be humiliated and disgraced. 00:03:32.291 --> 00:03:38.501 May those who triumph over me be covered with shame and dishonor, but give great 00:03:38.531 --> 00:03:40.991 joy to those who came to my defense. 00:03:41.756 --> 00:03:46.256 Let them continually say, great is the Lord who delights in 00:03:46.256 --> 00:03:48.356 blessing his servant with peace. 00:03:49.256 --> 00:03:54.866 Then I will proclaim your justice and I will praise you all day long. 00:03:57.416 --> 00:04:04.916 Psalm 36 for the choir director, a Psalm of David, the servant of the Lord. 00:04:06.026 --> 00:04:09.836 Sin whispers to the wicked deep within their hearts. 00:04:10.646 --> 00:04:13.046 They have no fear of God at all. 00:04:13.886 --> 00:04:17.966 In their blind conceit, they cannot see how wicked they really are. 00:04:18.806 --> 00:04:22.106 Everything they say is crooked and deceitful. 00:04:22.766 --> 00:04:25.376 They refuse to act wisely or do good. 00:04:25.656 --> 00:04:29.636 They lie awake at night, hatching sinful plots. 00:04:30.206 --> 00:04:31.886 Their actions are never good. 00:04:32.486 --> 00:04:34.736 They make no attempt to turn from evil. 00:04:35.876 --> 00:04:40.436 Your unfailing love, oh Lord, is as vast as the heavens. 00:04:41.216 --> 00:04:44.126 Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds. 00:04:44.906 --> 00:04:47.876 Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains. 00:04:48.116 --> 00:04:54.356 Your justice, like the ocean depths, you care for people and animals alike. 00:04:54.506 --> 00:04:58.406 Oh Lord, how precious is your unfailing love? 00:04:58.436 --> 00:04:59.126 Oh God. 00:04:59.996 --> 00:05:04.016 All humanity finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. 00:05:05.096 --> 00:05:10.106 You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your 00:05:10.106 --> 00:05:16.976 river of delights for you are the fountain of life, the light by which we see. 00:05:18.116 --> 00:05:21.566 Pour out your unfailing love on those who love you. 00:05:22.346 --> 00:05:24.896 Give justice to those with honest hearts. 00:05:25.646 --> 00:05:29.486 Don't let the proud trample me or the wicked push me around. 00:05:30.116 --> 00:05:33.326 Look, those who do evil have fallen. 00:05:33.971 --> 00:05:37.301 They are thrown down never to rise again. 00:05:39.851 --> 00:05:43.991 Psalm 37, A Psalm of David. 00:05:45.161 --> 00:05:48.131 Don't worry about the wicked or envy. 00:05:48.131 --> 00:05:51.731 Those who do wrong for like grass. 00:05:51.821 --> 00:05:55.571 They soon fade away like spring flowers. 00:05:55.931 --> 00:05:57.161 They soon wither. 00:05:58.181 --> 00:06:00.131 Trust in the Lord and do good. 00:06:00.986 --> 00:06:04.046 Then you will live safely in the land and prosper. 00:06:04.766 --> 00:06:09.446 Take delight in the Lord and he will give you your heart's desires. 00:06:10.406 --> 00:06:12.656 Commit everything you do to the Lord. 00:06:13.016 --> 00:06:15.746 Trust him and he will help you. 00:06:16.076 --> 00:06:21.386 He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn and the justice of your 00:06:21.391 --> 00:06:23.936 cause will shine like the noonday sun. 00:06:25.136 --> 00:06:27.626 Be still in the presence of the Lord. 00:06:28.556 --> 00:06:31.046 Wait patiently for him to act. 00:06:31.406 --> 00:06:36.056 Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes. 00:06:37.256 --> 00:06:38.816 Stop being angry. 00:06:39.416 --> 00:06:40.976 Turn from your rage. 00:06:41.576 --> 00:06:43.046 Do not lose your temper. 00:06:43.196 --> 00:06:44.576 It only leads to harm. 00:06:45.086 --> 00:06:49.256 For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the 00:06:49.256 --> 00:06:51.206 Lord will possess the land. 00:06:52.286 --> 00:06:54.476 Soon the wicked will disappear. 00:06:55.241 --> 00:06:58.001 Though you look for them, they will be gone. 00:06:58.841 --> 00:07:03.461 The lowly will possess the land and will live in peace and prosperity. 00:07:04.601 --> 00:07:09.071 The wicked plot against the Godly, they snarl at them in 00:07:09.071 --> 00:07:11.771 defiance, but the Lord just laughs. 00:07:12.101 --> 00:07:14.561 For he sees their day of judgment coming. 00:07:15.761 --> 00:07:20.321 The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the 00:07:20.321 --> 00:07:22.961 oppressed to slaughter those who do right. 00:07:24.311 --> 00:07:29.801 Their swords will stab their own hearts and their bows will be broken. 00:07:30.941 --> 00:07:35.441 It is better to be godly and have little than to be evil and rich. 00:07:36.251 --> 00:07:38.741 For the strength of the wicked will be shattered. 00:07:39.101 --> 00:07:43.781 But the Lord takes care of the godly day by day. 00:07:43.841 --> 00:07:47.471 The Lord takes care of the innocent and they will receive an 00:07:47.476 --> 00:07:49.751 inheritance that lasts forever. 00:07:50.471 --> 00:07:54.521 They will not be disgraced in hard times, even in famine. 00:07:54.521 --> 00:07:58.481 They will have more than enough, but the wicked will die. 00:07:59.111 --> 00:08:01.541 The Lord's enemies are like flowers in a field. 00:08:02.021 --> 00:08:07.511 They will disappear like smoke, the wicked borrow and never repay. 00:08:07.871 --> 00:08:09.911 But the Godly are generous givers. 00:08:10.691 --> 00:08:15.671 Those the Lord blesses will possess the land, but those he curses will die. 00:08:16.841 --> 00:08:19.331 The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. 00:08:20.021 --> 00:08:22.511 He delights in every detail of their lives. 00:08:23.261 --> 00:08:26.021 Though they stumble, they will never fall. 00:08:26.351 --> 00:08:28.661 For the Lord holds them by the hand. 00:08:29.891 --> 00:08:36.551 Once I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the godly, abandoned, 00:08:36.611 --> 00:08:38.681 or their children begging for bread. 00:08:39.491 --> 00:08:44.561 The Godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing. 00:08:45.701 --> 00:08:47.321 Turn from evil and do good. 00:08:48.311 --> 00:08:50.591 And you will live in the land forever. 00:08:51.311 --> 00:08:55.661 For the Lord loves justice and he will never abandon the Godly. 00:08:56.651 --> 00:09:01.511 He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die. 00:09:02.261 --> 00:09:05.801 The Godly will possess the land and will live there forever. 00:09:06.821 --> 00:09:08.711 The Godly offer good counsel. 00:09:09.251 --> 00:09:10.811 They teach right from wrong. 00:09:11.111 --> 00:09:15.311 They have made God's law their own, so they will never slip from his path. 00:09:16.436 --> 00:09:21.836 The wicked wait in ambush for the Godly looking for an excuse to kill them. 00:09:22.556 --> 00:09:26.126 But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed or let the Godly be 00:09:26.126 --> 00:09:28.046 condemned when they are put on trial. 00:09:29.096 --> 00:09:30.716 Put your hope in the Lord. 00:09:31.076 --> 00:09:33.056 Travel steadily along his path. 00:09:33.806 --> 00:09:38.876 He will honor you by giving you the land you will see the wicked destroyed. 00:09:40.511 --> 00:09:44.561 I have seen wicked and ruthless people flourishing like a 00:09:44.561 --> 00:09:46.301 tree in its native soil. 00:09:47.111 --> 00:09:49.811 But when I looked again, they were gone. 00:09:50.621 --> 00:09:53.801 Though I searched for them, I could not find them. 00:09:54.881 --> 00:09:58.751 Look at those who are honest and good for a wonderful future. 00:09:58.751 --> 00:10:03.161 Awaits those who love peace, but the rebellious will be destroyed. 00:10:03.671 --> 00:10:04.991 They have no future. 00:10:06.161 --> 00:10:07.991 The Lord rescues the Godly. 00:10:08.531 --> 00:10:09.671 He is their fortress. 00:10:09.671 --> 00:10:14.831 In times of trouble, the Lord helps them rescuing them from the wicked. 00:10:15.671 --> 00:10:19.841 He saves them and they find shelter in him. 00:10:22.361 --> 00:10:28.631 Psalm 38, a Psalm of David asking God to remember him. 00:10:29.651 --> 00:10:35.681 Oh Lord, don't rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your rage. 00:10:36.431 --> 00:10:40.271 Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing 00:10:40.271 --> 00:10:42.581 me because of your anger. 00:10:42.851 --> 00:10:44.741 My whole body is sick. 00:10:45.401 --> 00:10:50.381 My health is broken because of my sins, my guilt overwhelms me. 00:10:50.981 --> 00:10:53.171 It is a burden to heavy to bear. 00:10:54.011 --> 00:10:58.241 My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins. 00:10:59.111 --> 00:11:03.161 I am bent over and racked with pain all day long. 00:11:03.161 --> 00:11:05.021 I walk around filled with grief. 00:11:05.981 --> 00:11:10.361 A raging fever burns within me and my health is broken. 00:11:11.201 --> 00:11:13.841 I am exhausted and completely crushed. 00:11:14.441 --> 00:11:16.781 My groans come from an anguished heart. 00:11:17.981 --> 00:11:19.961 You know what I long for Lord. 00:11:20.261 --> 00:11:21.881 You hear my every sigh. 00:11:22.751 --> 00:11:28.031 My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind. 00:11:29.021 --> 00:11:30.611 My loved ones and friends. 00:11:30.611 --> 00:11:32.771 Stay away fearing my disease. 00:11:33.101 --> 00:11:35.501 Even my own family stands at a distance. 00:11:36.401 --> 00:11:39.731 Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me. 00:11:40.571 --> 00:11:45.401 Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me all day long. 00:11:45.406 --> 00:11:50.411 They plan their treachery, but I am deaf to all their threats. 00:11:50.621 --> 00:11:53.861 I am silent before them as one who cannot speak. 00:11:54.461 --> 00:12:00.941 I choose to hear nothing and I make no reply for I am waiting for you. 00:12:00.971 --> 00:12:01.631 Oh Lord. 00:12:02.036 --> 00:12:03.866 You must answer for me. 00:12:04.136 --> 00:12:05.276 Oh Lord, my God. 00:12:06.116 --> 00:12:06.866 I prayed. 00:12:07.376 --> 00:12:11.276 Don't let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall. 00:12:12.356 --> 00:12:18.356 I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain, but I confess my sins. 00:12:19.106 --> 00:12:21.536 I am deeply sorry for what I have done. 00:12:22.376 --> 00:12:24.596 I have many aggressive enemies. 00:12:24.926 --> 00:12:26.546 They hate me without reason. 00:12:27.176 --> 00:12:31.826 They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good. 00:12:32.816 --> 00:12:34.106 Do not abandon me. 00:12:34.106 --> 00:12:34.826 Oh Lord. 00:12:35.696 --> 00:12:37.736 Do not stand at a distance. 00:12:37.796 --> 00:12:38.546 My God. 00:12:39.506 --> 00:12:43.466 Come quickly to help me, oh Lord, my savior. 00:12:45.986 --> 00:12:53.546 Psalm 39 for Judean, the choir director, a Psalm of David. 00:12:54.596 --> 00:12:59.711 I said to myself, I will watch what I do and not sin in what I say. 00:13:00.341 --> 00:13:05.471 I will hold my tongue when the ungodly are around me, but as I stood there 00:13:05.471 --> 00:13:11.651 in silence, not even speaking of good things, the turmoil within me grew worse. 00:13:11.951 --> 00:13:17.801 The more I thought about it, the hotter I got, igniting a fire of words. 00:13:18.671 --> 00:13:22.031 Lord, remind me how brief my time on Earth will be. 00:13:22.751 --> 00:13:26.741 Remind me that my days are numbered, how fleeting my life is. 00:13:27.581 --> 00:13:31.331 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. 00:13:31.691 --> 00:13:35.861 My entire lifetime is just a moment to you at best. 00:13:36.041 --> 00:13:37.001 Each of us is. 00:13:37.001 --> 00:13:43.571 But a breath in interlude, we are merely moving shadows and all 00:13:43.571 --> 00:13:46.241 our busy rushing ends in nothing. 00:13:46.961 --> 00:13:50.141 We heap up wealth not knowing who will spend it. 00:13:50.876 --> 00:13:54.206 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? 00:13:55.046 --> 00:13:57.116 My only hope is in you. 00:13:58.196 --> 00:14:00.296 Rescue me from my rebellion. 00:14:00.536 --> 00:14:02.306 Do not let fools mock me. 00:14:03.056 --> 00:14:04.796 I am silent before you. 00:14:04.976 --> 00:14:11.386 I won't say a word for my punishment is from you, but please stop striking me. 00:14:12.326 --> 00:14:15.206 I am exhausted by the blows from your hand. 00:14:15.806 --> 00:14:20.246 When you discipline us for our sins, you consume like a moth. 00:14:20.246 --> 00:14:21.626 What is precious to us? 00:14:22.286 --> 00:14:25.856 Each of us is but a breath interlude. 00:14:26.906 --> 00:14:28.376 Hear my prayer. 00:14:28.436 --> 00:14:29.216 Oh Lord. 00:14:30.176 --> 00:14:32.246 Listen to my cries for help. 00:14:32.876 --> 00:14:34.436 Don't ignore my tears. 00:14:34.676 --> 00:14:40.196 For I am your guest, a traveler passing through as my ancestors were before me. 00:14:41.306 --> 00:14:46.346 Leave me alone so I can smile again before I am gone and exist. 00:14:46.376 --> 00:14:47.186 No more. 00:14:49.736 --> 00:14:55.226 Psalm 40 for the choir director, a Psalm of David. 00:14:56.246 --> 00:15:00.026 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, a, and he 00:15:00.026 --> 00:15:02.306 turned to me and heard my cry. 00:15:02.966 --> 00:15:08.246 He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the Meyer. 00:15:09.026 --> 00:15:13.856 He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. 00:15:14.546 --> 00:15:20.096 He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. 00:15:20.786 --> 00:15:23.666 Many will see what he has done and be amazed. 00:15:23.966 --> 00:15:25.796 They will put their trust in the Lord. 00:15:26.846 --> 00:15:31.556 Oh, the joys of those who trust the Lord, who have no confidence in the 00:15:31.556 --> 00:15:33.986 proud or in those who worship idols. 00:15:34.736 --> 00:15:38.786 Oh Lord, my God, you have performed many wonders for us. 00:15:39.626 --> 00:15:42.896 Your plans for us are too numerous to list. 00:15:43.526 --> 00:15:44.906 You have no equal. 00:15:45.626 --> 00:15:48.836 If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would 00:15:48.836 --> 00:15:50.426 never come to the end of them. 00:15:50.806 --> 00:15:55.046 You take no delight in sacrifices or offerings. 00:15:55.886 --> 00:16:00.896 Now that you have made me listen, I finally understand you don't require 00:16:00.896 --> 00:16:03.146 burnt offerings or sin offerings. 00:16:03.821 --> 00:16:08.651 Then I said, look, I have come as it is written about me in the scriptures. 00:16:08.651 --> 00:16:10.391 I take joy in doing your will. 00:16:10.391 --> 00:16:14.111 My God, for your instructions are written on my heart. 00:16:15.251 --> 00:16:17.981 I have told all your people about your justice. 00:16:18.761 --> 00:16:21.761 I have not been afraid to speak out as you. 00:16:21.761 --> 00:16:23.381 Oh Lord, well known. 00:16:24.371 --> 00:16:28.361 I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden in my heart. 00:16:28.841 --> 00:16:31.931 I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power. 00:16:32.711 --> 00:16:37.001 I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love 00:16:37.001 --> 00:16:43.091 and faithfulness, Lord, don't hold back your tender mercies from me. 00:16:43.901 --> 00:16:49.241 Let your unfailing love and faithfulness always protect me for troubles 00:16:49.246 --> 00:16:51.881 surround me too many to count. 00:16:52.631 --> 00:16:56.531 My sins pile up so high, I can't see my way out. 00:16:56.921 --> 00:16:58.991 They outnumber the hairs on my head. 00:16:59.801 --> 00:17:01.661 I have lost all courage. 00:17:02.666 --> 00:17:04.706 Please Lord, rescue me. 00:17:05.156 --> 00:17:07.286 Come quickly, Lord, and help me. 00:17:07.706 --> 00:17:11.726 May those who try to destroy me be humiliated and put to shame. 00:17:12.416 --> 00:17:16.676 May those who take delight in my trouble, be turned back in disgrace. 00:17:17.486 --> 00:17:19.826 Let them be horrified by their shame. 00:17:20.276 --> 00:17:23.336 For they said, aha, we've got him now. 00:17:24.416 --> 00:17:29.426 But may all who search for you be filled with joy and gladness in you. 00:17:30.131 --> 00:17:32.921 May those who love your salvation repeatedly. 00:17:32.921 --> 00:17:39.971 Shout the Lord is great as for me, since I am poor and needy, let 00:17:39.971 --> 00:17:41.771 the Lord keep me in his thoughts. 00:17:42.491 --> 00:17:44.771 You are my helper and my savior. 00:17:45.461 --> 00:17:46.511 Oh my God. 00:17:47.201 --> 00:17:48.431 Do not delay. 00:17:51.101 --> 00:17:57.251 Psalm 41 for the choir director, a Psalm of David. 00:17:58.331 -->

keeps them alive. 00:18:08.951 --> 00:18:13.571 He gives them prosperity in the land and rescues them from their enemies. 00:18:14.291 --> 00:18:18.341 The Lord nurses them when they are sick and restores them to health. 00:18:19.511 --> 00:18:21.101 Oh Lord, I prayed. 00:18:21.401 --> 00:18:22.751 Have mercy on me. 00:18:23.411 --> 00:18:25.991 Heal me for I have sinned against you. 00:18:27.011 --> 00:18:29.831 But my enemies say nothing but evil about me. 00:18:30.701 --> 00:18:33.551 How soon will he die and be forgotten? 00:18:33.731 --> 00:18:34.481 They ask. 00:18:35.381
