generations you have been our home before 00:00:24.034 --> 00:00:25.264 the mountains were born. 00:00:26.014 --> 00:00:32.644 Before you gave birth to the earth and the world from beginning to end, you are God. 00:00:33.664 --> 00:00:37.954 You turn people back to dust saying return to dust. 00:00:37.959 --> 00:00:38.914 You mortals. 00:00:39.844 --> 00:00:46.684 For you a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours. 00:00:47.524 --> 00:00:50.464 You sweep people away like dreams that disappear. 00:00:51.334 --> 00:00:54.574 They're like grass that springs up in the morning. 00:00:55.579 --> 00:01:01.069 In the morning, it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered. 00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:03.979 We wither beneath your anger. 00:01:04.609 --> 00:01:06.829 We are overwhelmed by your fury. 00:01:07.969 --> 00:01:13.849 You spread out our sins before you, our secret sins, and you see them all. 00:01:14.839 --> 00:01:16.879 We live our lives beneath your wrath. 00:01:17.869 --> 00:01:18.349 Ending. 00:01:18.349 --> 00:01:23.599 Our years with a groan, 70 years are given to us. 00:01:24.229 --> 00:01:29.719 Somem even live to 80, but even the best years are filled with pain and trouble. 00:01:30.649 --> 00:01:33.739 Soon they disappear and we fly away. 00:01:35.059 --> 00:01:38.029 Who can comprehend the power of your anger? 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.929 Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve. 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:48.289 Teach us to realize the brevity of life so that we may grow in wisdom. 00:01:49.774 --> 00:01:51.904 Oh Lord, come back to us. 00:01:52.024 --> 00:01:53.674 How long will you delay? 00:01:54.154 --> 00:01:55.984 Take pity on your servants. 00:01:57.004 --> 00:02:00.364 Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love. 00:02:01.084 --> 00:02:04.444 So we may sing for joy to the end of our lives. 00:02:05.674 --> 00:02:08.914 Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery. 00:02:09.754 --> 00:02:11.884 Replace the evil years with good. 00:02:12.634 --> 00:02:15.814 Let us your servants see you work again. 00:02:16.519 --> 00:02:18.559 Let our children see your glory. 00:02:19.459 --> 00:02:24.919 And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful. 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:29.029 Yes, make our efforts successful. 00:02:31.609 --> 00:02:37.849 Psalm 91, those who live in the shelter of the most high will find 00:02:37.849 --> 00:02:39.799 rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 00:02:40.669 --> 00:02:42.589 This I declare about the Lord. 00:02:43.279 --> 00:02:44.929 He alone is my refuge. 00:02:45.859 --> 00:02:51.679 My place of safety, he is my God and I trust him for He will 00:02:51.679 --> 00:02:56.029 rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. 00:02:56.989 --> 00:02:58.999 He will cover you with his feathers. 00:02:59.269 --> 00:03:01.399 He will shelter you with his wings. 00:03:02.179 --> 00:03:05.449 His faithful promises are your armor and protection. 00:03:05.799 --> 00:03:09.529 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the 00:03:09.529 --> 00:03:11.299 arrow that flies in the day. 00:03:12.049 --> 00:03:17.479 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes 00:03:17.484 --> 00:03:24.259 at midday though a thousand fall at your side, though 10,000 are dying around you. 00:03:24.799 --> 00:03:26.629 These evils will not touch you. 00:03:27.529 --> 00:03:31.639 Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished. 00:03:32.749 --> 00:03:36.529 If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the most high, your 00:03:36.529 --> 00:03:39.589 shelter no evil will conquer you. 00:03:40.294 --> 00:03:43.324 No plague will come near your home for. 00:03:43.324 --> 00:03:46.624 He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go. 00:03:47.704 --> 00:03:52.384 They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone, 00:03:53.794 --> 00:03:56.974 you will trample upon lions and cobras. 00:03:57.574 --> 00:04:00.754 You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet. 00:04:01.954 --> 00:04:05.494 The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me. 00:04:05.974 --> 00:04:08.464 I will protect those who trust in my name. 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.689 When they call on me, I will answer. 00:04:12.679 --> 00:04:14.389 I will be with them in trouble. 00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:17.059 I will rescue and honor them. 00:04:18.109 --> 00:04:22.879 I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation. 00:04:25.429 --> 00:04:31.069 Psalm 92, a Psalm, a song to be sung on the Sabbath day. 00:04:32.629 --> 00:04:36.979 It is good to give thanks to the Lord to sing praises to the most high. 00:04:38.239 --> 00:04:41.509 It is good to proclaim your unveiling love in the morning. 00:04:42.109 --> 00:04:47.089 Your faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by a 10 stringed instrument, 00:04:47.689 --> 00:04:50.059 a harp, and the melody of a liar. 00:04:50.989 --> 00:04:54.469 You thrill me Lord, with all you have done for me. 00:04:55.249 --> 00:04:57.859 I sing for joy because of what you have done. 00:04:58.669 --> 00:05:03.739 Oh, Lord, what great works you do and how deep are your thoughts? 00:05:04.729 --> 00:05:06.529 Only a simpleton would not know. 00:05:07.309 --> 00:05:09.799 And only a fool would not understand this. 00:05:10.729 --> 00:05:14.539 Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evil doers flourish, 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.939 they will be destroyed forever. 00:05:18.139 --> 00:05:21.349 But you oh Lord, will be exalted forever. 00:05:22.189 --> 00:05:24.649 Your enemies Lord will surely perish. 00:05:25.339 --> 00:05:27.439 All evil doers will be scattered. 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.639 But you have made me as strong as a wild ox. 00:05:32.539 --> 00:05:34.879 You have anointed me with the finest oil. 00:05:35.824 --> 00:05:38.734 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies. 00:05:39.394 --> 00:05:42.514 My ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents. 00:05:43.654 --> 00:05:48.094 But the Godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong 00:05:48.244 --> 00:05:50.044 like the cedars of Lebanon. 00:05:51.364 --> 00:05:54.124 For they are transplanted to the Lord's own house. 00:05:54.904 --> 00:05:59.284 They flourish and the courts of our God, even in old age, 00:05:59.284 --> 00:06:00.724 they will still produce fruit. 00:06:01.384 --> 00:06:03.724 They will remain vital and green. 00:06:04.609 --> 00:06:09.679 They will declare the Lord is just, he is my rock. 00:06:10.189 --> 00:06:12.199 There is no evil in him. 00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:18.829 Psalm 93, the Lord is king. 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:21.319 He is robed in majesty. 00:06:22.039 --> 00:06:26.449 Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. 00:06:27.469 --> 00:06:30.859 The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. 00:06:31.849 --> 00:06:36.049 Your throne, oh Lord, has stood from time immemorial. 00:06:36.979 --> 00:06:40.009 You yourself are from the everlasting past. 00:06:40.819 --> 00:06:42.139 The floods have risen up. 00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:42.769 Oh Lord. 00:06:43.099 --> 00:06:45.259 The floods have roared like thunder. 00:06:46.039 --> 00:06:50.839 The floods have lifted their pounding waves, but mightier than 00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.729 the violent raging of the seas. 00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:55.369 Mightier than the breakers on the shore. 00:06:55.939 --> 00:06:58.579 The Lord above is mightier than these. 00:06:59.569 --> 00:07:01.759 Your royal laws cannot be changed. 00:07:02.239 --> 00:07:06.469 Your reign, oh Lord, is holy forever and ever. 00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:14.059 Psalm 94, oh Lord, the God of vengeance. 00:07:14.629 --> 00:07:16.189 Oh God of vengeance. 00:07:16.729 --> 00:07:19.459 Let your glorious justice shine forth. 00:07:20.509 --> 00:07:24.949 Arise o judge of the earth, give the proud what they deserve. 00:07:25.804 --> 00:07:27.304 How long, oh Lord. 00:07:27.814 --> 00:07:30.424 How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat? 00:07:31.354 --> 00:07:33.544 How long will they speak with arrogance? 00:07:34.174 --> 00:07:39.184 How long will these evil people boast they crush your people, Lord, 00:07:39.514 --> 00:07:41.554 hurting those you claim as your own. 00:07:41.874 --> 00:07:46.684 They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans. 00:07:47.494 --> 00:07:48.694 The Lord isn't looking. 00:07:48.694 --> 00:07:53.074 They say, and besides the God of Israel doesn't care. 00:07:54.184 --> 00:07:55.954 Think again, you fools. 00:07:56.644 --> 00:07:58.264 When will you finally catch on? 00:07:58.984 --> 00:07:59.854 Is he deaf? 00:08:00.184 --> 00:08:01.594 The one who made your ears? 00:08:02.254 --> 00:08:03.184 Is he blind? 00:08:03.454 --> 00:08:05.254 The one who formed your eyes? 00:08:05.884 --> 00:08:07.594 He punishes the nations. 00:08:07.924 --> 00:08:09.664 Won't he also punish you? 00:08:10.044 --> 00:08:11.854 He knows everything. 00:08:12.934 --> 00:08:15.214 Doesn't he also know what you are doing? 00:08:16.144 --> 00:08:18.004 The Lord knows people's thoughts. 00:08:18.334 --> 00:08:20.074 He knows they are worthless. 00:08:21.064 --> 00:08:26.074 Joyful are those you discipline, Lord, those you teach with your instructions. 00:08:26.584 --> 00:08:32.374 You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked. 00:08:33.574 --> 00:08:35.614 The Lord will not reject his people. 00:08:36.004 --> 00:08:38.524 He will not abandon his special possession. 00:08:39.544 --> 00:08:43.384 Judgment will again be founded on justice and those with 00:08:43.384 --> 00:08:45.124 virtuous hearts will pursue it. 00:08:46.114 --> 00:08:47.884 Who will protect me from the wicked? 00:08:48.619 --> 00:08:51.769 Who will stand up for me against evil doers? 00:08:52.969 --> 00:08:56.599 Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled 00:08:56.599 --> 00:08:58.459 in the silence of the grave. 00:08:59.449 --> 00:09:00.169 I cried out. 00:09:00.829 --> 00:09:01.729 I am slipping. 00:09:02.749 --> 00:09:05.989 But your unfailing love, oh Lord, supported me. 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:11.689 When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer. 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.129 Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side? 00:09:16.654 --> 00:09:22.084 Leaders whose decrees permit injustice, they gang up against the righteous 00:09:22.384 --> 00:09:24.124 and condemn the innocent to death. 00:09:25.324 --> 00:09:27.184 But the Lord is my fortress. 00:09:27.784 --> 00:09:33.184 My God is the mighty rock where I hide God will turn the sins 00:09:33.184 --> 00:09:34.924 of evil people back on them. 00:09:35.614 --> 00:09:37.774 He will destroy them for their sins. 00:09:38.584 --> 00:09:41.764 The Lord our God will destroy them. 00:09:44.524 --> 00:09:45.544 Psalm 95. 00:09:47.029 --> 00:09:49.279 Come let us sing to the Lord. 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:52.939 Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. 00:09:53.869 --> 00:09:55.729 Let us come to him with thanksgiving. 00:09:56.359 --> 00:09:58.549 Let us sing Psalms of praise to him. 00:09:59.119 --> 00:10:05.359 For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all Gods, he holds 00:10:05.359 --> 00:10:09.079 in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. 00:10:09.829 --> 00:10:12.679 The sea belongs to him for he made it. 00:10:13.444 --> 00:10:17.884 His hands formed the dry land to come. 00:10:18.574 --> 00:10:20.734 Let us worship and bow down. 00:10:21.484 --> 00:10:25.834 Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for he is our God. 00:10:26.794 --> 00:10:30.904 We are the people he watches over the flock under his care. 00:10:31.234 --> 00:10:34.294 If only you would listen to his voice today. 00:10:35.014 --> 00:10:39.454 The Lord says, don't harden your hearts as Israel did at Marba. 00:10:40.699 --> 00:10:46.009 As they did at MAA in the wilderness for there, your ancestors tested and 00:10:46.009 --> 00:10:51.829 tried my patience, even though they saw everything I did for 40 years. 00:10:51.829 --> 00:10:57.349 I was angry with them and I said, they are a people whose hearts turn away from me. 00:10:57.709 --> 00:10:59.479 They refuse to do what I tell them. 00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:02.119 So in my anger, I took an oath. 00:11:02.959 --> 00:11:05.929 They will never enter my place of rest. 00:11:08.509 --> 00:11:09.529 Psalm 96. 00:11:11.494 --> 00:11:13.684 Sing a new song to the Lord. 00:11:14.374 --> 00:11:16.714 Let the whole earth sing to the Lord. 00:11:17.404 --> 00:11:18.694 Sing to the Lord. 00:11:18.814 --> 00:11:20.074 Praise his name. 00:11:20.674 --> 00:11:23.974 Each day, proclaim the good news that he saves. 00:11:24.934 --> 00:11:27.694 Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. 00:11:28.024 --> 00:11:31.024 Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. 00:11:31.744 --> 00:11:32.974 Great is the Lord. 00:11:33.334 --> 00:11:35.224 He is most worthy of praise. 00:11:35.764 --> 00:11:38.074 He is to be feared Above all Gods. 00:11:38.869 --> 00:11:41.269 The gods of other nations are mere idols. 00:11:41.599 --> 00:11:47.329 But the Lord made the heavens honor and majesty surround him, strength 00:11:47.329 --> 00:11:49.309 and beauty fill his sanctuary. 00:11:49.969 --> 00:11:51.679 Oh nations of the world. 00:11:51.769 --> 00:11:53.329 Recognize the Lord. 00:11:53.929 --> 00:11:57.169 Recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong. 00:11:57.769 --> 00:12:00.229 Give to the Lord the glory he deserves. 00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.499 Bring your offering and come into his courts. 00:12:04.129 --> 00:12:06.409 Worship the Lord and all his holy splendor. 00:12:07.129 --> 00:12:09.409 Let all the earth tremble before him. 00:12:10.009 --> 00:12:13.099 Tell all the nations the Lord reigns. 00:12:13.849 --> 00:12:17.209 The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. 00:12:17.689 --> 00:12:19.759 He will judge all peoples fairly. 00:12:20.689 --> 00:12:23.479 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice. 00:12:23.929 --> 00:12:25.459 Let the sea and everything in it. 00:12:25.464 --> 00:12:26.749 Shout his praise. 00:12:27.439 --> 00:12:30.469 Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy. 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.179 Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord. 00:12:35.719 --> 00:12:36.919 For he is coming. 00:12:37.699 --> 00:12:39.529 He is coming to judge the earth. 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.199 He will judge the world with justice and the nations with his truth. 00:12:47.749 --> 00:12:51.949 Psalm 97, the Lord is king. 00:12:52.369 --> 00:12:53.689 Let the earth rejoice. 00:12:53.989 --> 00:12:58.969 Let the farthest coastlands be glad dark clouds surround him. 00:12:59.629 --> 00:13:02.719 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 00:13:03.469 --> 00:13:07.399 Fire spreads ahead of him and burns up all his foes. 00:13:08.269 --> 00:13:12.679 His lightning flashes out across the world, the earth sees and 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.919 trembles the mountains melt like wax. 00:13:15.924 --> 00:13:16.909 Before the Lord. 00:13:17.479 -->
