Untitled Sermon (6)
Notes
Transcript
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”
who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be as sheep that have no shepherd.”
Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.
And he said to them, “I am 120 years old today. I am no longer able to go out and come in. The Lord has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’
“He will guard the feet of his faithful ones,
but the wicked shall be cut off in darkness,
for not by might shall a man prevail.
Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the Lord lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign. For I have found nothing wrong in you from the day of your coming to me to this day. Nevertheless, the lords do not approve of you.
And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of David my father, although I am but a little child. I do not know how to go out or come in.
And he said to his father, “Oh, my head, my head!” The father said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
May he send you help from the sanctuary
and give you support from Zion!
the Lord protects him and keeps him alive;
he is called blessed in the land;
you do not give him up to the will of his enemies.
Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God!
His holy mountain,
who has kept our soul among the living
and has not let our feet slip.
The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil;
they sank into sleep;
all the men of war
were unable to use their hands.
On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
He will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
You will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
O you who love the Lord, hate evil!
He preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
He set the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore!
May you be blessed by the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!
But we will bless the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the Lord!
A Song of Ascents.
To you I lift up my eyes,
O you who are enthroned in the heavens!
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
Unless the Lord builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
Stretch out your hand from on high;
rescue me and deliver me from the many waters,
from the hand of foreigners,
The Lord preserves all who love him,
but all the wicked he will destroy.
guarding the paths of justice
and watching over the way of his saints.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Then you will walk on your way securely,
and your foot will not stumble.
for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.
If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man according to his work?
None is weary, none stumbles,
none slumbers or sleeps,
not a waistband is loose,
not a sandal strap broken;
For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
I, the Lord, am its keeper;
every moment I water it.
Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;
Lift up your eyes on high and see:
who created these?
He who brings out their host by number,
calling them all by name;
by the greatness of his might
and because he is strong in power,
not one is missing.
they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
Truly the hills are a delusion,
the orgies on the mountains.
Truly in the Lord our God
is the salvation of Israel.
When the sun rose, God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on the head of Jonah so that he was faint. And he asked that he might die and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
the sun shall not strike them,
nor any scorching heat.
