1. 0:00Hey Bible nerds, this is Dr. Manny
2. 0:02Orango. Welcome to the Bible department
3. 0:04podcast powered by Arma. We are walking
4. 0:08through the entire Bible in a year. You

8. 0:24family. Welcome to day 299 here at the
9. 0:28Bible department. Today we get to wave
10. 0:30bye-bye to our beloved King David, which
11. 0:33is honestly pretty sad. I've kind of
12. 0:35fallen in love with David as we have
13. 0:38studied the Psalms together. But we get
14. 0:40to wave by because these four Psalms,
15. 0:43Psalm 142, 143, 144, and 145 are the
16. 0:49final four Psalms of David that we've
17. 0:52got, bringing our total number of Psalms
18. 0:54that David contributed to the book of
19. 0:56Psalms to 73. 73 Psalms. And I don't
20. 1:00know about you, but sometimes when I
21. 1:02read through 1 and 2 Samuel and I hear
22. 1:06about all of the, might I say,
23. 1:10questionable things that David did, you
24. 1:13kind of can when you just look at a
25. 1:15historical account of David's life,
26. 1:17maybe come away from the scriptures
27. 1:20going, I don't know about that guy. But
28. 1:22then you read the Psalms and you're
29. 1:24like, I quite love that guy. That guy's
30. 1:28passionate. He's amazing. He loves the
31. 1:31Lord. And I think that honestly probably
32. 1:34is what the scriptures are designed to
33. 1:35do. They're they're designed to help us
34. 1:37to fill in the gray, right? My son is
35. 1:39four years old, and for my son, there
36. 1:41are only good guys and bad guys. But
37. 1:44what the Bible is actually doing is
38. 1:46helping us to understand that there's a
39. 1:48lot of bad in good people and there's a
40. 1:52good amount of good in bad people. that
41. 1:55people don't neatly or nicely fit into
42. 1:58categories of good people and bad
43. 2:00people. But there's way more than 50
44. 2:03shades of gray in the middle. And I know
45. 2:05that may make you feel uncomfortable.
46. 2:07That makes me feel uncomfortable. But my
47. 2:09honest just I don't know my honest
48. 2:13conclusion after reading Psalms about
49. 2:15David at least is love that guy. What a
50. 2:19good guy. Anyway, today unfortunately we
51. 2:22get to say goodbye to David. If you have
52. 2:24not done the reading, this is a good
53. 2:26time for you to stop this video, pause
54. 2:28the audio, and go get the reading done.
55. 2:31We got four psalms that we are diving
56. 2:33into today. Honestly, I think these
57. 2:35psalms are incredible. Let me give you
58. 2:38some context clues for the four psalms
59. 2:40that were assigned to us on our Bible
60. 2:42reading plans today. For Psalm 142, 143,
61. 2:46144, and 145, these are all written by
62. 2:49David. Okay? Both Psalm 142 and Psalm
63. 2:54143 are going to be individual laments.
64. 2:58Okay? So, you already you've you've been
65. 3:00rocking. We've been rocking together for
66. 3:02a long time. You know exactly how an
67. 3:03individual lament works. It's one person
68. 3:07who has a plea, a complaint, an issue
69. 3:12that's happening in their life. Okay.
70. 3:13The context around Psalm 142 is actually
71. 3:16debated. Okay. You're going to get we're
72. 3:18gonna we're both we're all going to get
73. 3:20this little heading at the top of 142
74. 3:23that says a mascul of David when he was
75. 3:26in the cave of prayer. Now there are two
76. 3:29moments that could serve as context for
77. 3:31Psalm 142. Two moments where David was
78. 3:34in a cave. Okay, I'll give you both
79. 3:36options. It's either 1st Samuel chapter
80. 3:3822 or 1st Samuel chapter 24. Okay, 1st
81. 3:42Samuel chapter 22 or 1st Samuel chapter
82. 3:4524. It is either just after David
83. 3:48escaped from the Philistines by
84. 3:50pretending to be insane or pretending to
85. 3:52be mad and he hid in the cave of
86. 3:54Adullum. That's 1st Samuel chapter 22.
87. 3:57Or in 1st Samuel chapter 24 when after
88. 4:00Saul had broken off his pursuit of David
89. 4:03to deal with the Philistines that he
90. 4:05returned to chasing David and then just
91. 4:08so happened to go to relieve himself in
92. 4:10the very cave David was hiding in. So
93. 4:14either way, the context of this psalm is
94. 4:17once again David for no fault of his own
95. 4:20being haunted like an animal by his
96. 4:23envious king and that would be none
97. 4:25other than King Saul. Okay, so uh that's
98. 4:28Psalm 142. Psalm 143 is another
99. 4:31individual met. Okay, and then Psalm 144
100. 4:35is essentially going to be a new song.
101. 4:37We're going to see that verbiage, a new
102. 4:38song with lots of old material. Okay.
103. 4:41So, Psalm 144 is actually going to
104. 4:45contain tons of material from older
105. 4:48Psalms. Okay. So, we're going to kind of
106. 4:51get a remixed Psalm. Okay. David is
107. 4:54going to take elements from other areas
108. 4:56or other psalms that he had written.
109. 4:58They're going to get reworked into Psalm
110. 5:00144. Okay. And then last, Psalm 145 is
111. 5:04our final Psalm of David. Okay. In the
112. 5:09entire book of Psalms. This is the 73rd
113. 5:12Psalm attributed to King David and the
114. 5:15very very very very last one that we
115. 5:18will study together. All right, so
116. 5:21that's as much context as I have for
117. 5:22you. The Psalms are always a little
118. 5:25light on the context and heavy on the
119. 5:28nerdy nuggets and the timeless truths.
120. 5:30So with no further ado, let's get into
121. 5:32some nerdy nuggets. I hope you got your
122. 5:34Bibles. We're going to go to Psalm 142.
123. 5:38Family, the wait is over. My brand new
124. 5:41book, Crushing Chaos, is out now and
125. 5:44available everywhere books are sold
126. 5:47literally today. I walked into a Barnes
127. 5:50& Noble and I signed a bunch of copies
128. 5:53at a physical location. So, you can grab
129. 5:55this book at a physical Barnes & Noble
130. 5:58or you can go to a Books a Million or
131. 6:00Amazon or anywhere books are sold and
132. 6:03grab a copy. If you enjoy reading the
133. 6:06Bible from an ancient perspective, if
134. 6:09you understand that the beauty of
135. 6:11scripture is actually knowing it in
136. 6:13context, then you'll love this book. And
137. 6:16if there's any chaos in your personal
138. 6:18life, I think that reading the Bible
139. 6:21from an ancient perspective can actually
140. 6:23help to crush the chaos in your life. I
141. 6:26think this book is going to be a New
142. 6:27York Times bestseller. I really do. I
143. 6:29think we wrote a good one. I think you
144. 6:31should get a copy today. All right, back
145. 6:34to the episode. Psalm 142 says this.
146. 6:37This is an individual lament, so these
147. 6:38words are not going to shock you. I cry
148. 6:40aloud to the Lord. That's right. Of
149. 6:43course, you're crying. It's a lament.
150. 6:44Okay? I cry aloud to the Lord. I lifted
151. 6:47up my voice to the Lord for mercy. I
152. 6:50pour out before my complaint. Before him
153. 6:54I tell my trouble. Okay, just verses one
154. 6:58and two should tell you this is a
155. 6:59lament, right? We've got crying. We've
156. 7:02got pouring out. We've got complaints.
157. 7:04We've got trouble. Okay, this is a
158. 7:07classic individual lament. Then I want
159. 7:10you to drop to the end of verse four. It
160. 7:12says this, "I have no refuge. No one
161. 7:15cares for my life." I want you to study
162. 7:18those words. I have no refuge. I have no
163. 7:22refuge. No one cares for my life. And
164. 7:25then verse five, I cry to you, Lord. I
165. 7:28say you are my refuge, my portion in the
166. 7:33land of the living. I wonder if you can
167. 7:35see that justosition from the end of
168. 7:37verse four to verse 5. Verse four, here
169. 7:41are the words, I have no refuge. Then we
170. 7:44get into THE VERY NEXT VERSE and the
171. 7:47words are Lord Yahweh you are my refuge.
172. 7:52Man, just that juxosition. I wonder
173. 7:55what's going on in David's mind, right?
174. 7:57He realizes he's complaining. He's
175. 7:59lamenting. You know, he's got trouble.
176. 8:02This is wrong. This is wrong. This is
177. 8:04wrong. And he gets all the way down to
178. 8:05the end of verse four and he says, "I
179. 8:07have no refuge." It's like, "I have no
180. 8:09defense. I have no safe place to go. I
181. 8:12have no refuge." And then it's almost
182. 8:14like a light bulb goes off. In verse 5,
183. 8:17he goes, "Lord, you are my refuge." And
184. 8:22I think that could be a model for you
185. 8:23and I. I don't want to get into a
186. 8:25timeless truth necessarily, but whatever
187. 8:27you feel like you have none of at the
188. 8:29moment. I have no patience. I have no
189. 8:31money. I have no friends. I have no
190. 8:34words. Whatever that is, I I want to
191. 8:37challenge you to then transition into
192. 8:39verse five. Okay? So, maybe you're
193. 8:42saying right now, I have no peace. I
194. 8:44want you to transition and go, the Lord
195. 8:46is my peace. Lord, you are my peace. I
196. 8:50have no words. Lord, you are my words. I
197. 8:53have no money. Lord, you are my
198. 8:56provision. Whatever you have none of, at
199. 8:58some point you have to realize the Lord
200. 9:01is that thing. The Lord a lot of times
201. 9:05becomes the thing that you have none of
202. 9:07in your own power and in your own
203. 9:09strength. That's exactly what we see as
204. 9:12we transition from verse 4 to verse 5
205. 9:14here in Psalm 142. But there's a nerdy
206. 9:17nugget that I could pull out of this.
207. 9:19Guess it's pretty devotional in nature.
208. 9:22It's whatever you feel like you have
209. 9:23none of. I have no resources, you know.
210. 9:26I have no self-control. I have no blank.
211. 9:30Whatever that fill in the blank is, I
212. 9:31want you to actually begin to confess.
213. 9:34Not the opposite that you do have it,
214. 9:37but confess, well, no, the Lord is going
215. 9:40to supply that. And he already is that.
216. 9:43He's the I am that I am. And the same
217. 9:45God that can be peace for one person and
218. 9:47provision for another can be
219. 9:49self-control for me. Lord, I may not
220. 9:52have blank. I may not have refuge, but I
221. 9:55have you. And if I have you, then I do
222. 9:58have refuge. And training your mind to
223. 10:01think that way. We live in a society
224. 10:03that will always agree that you have no
225. 10:07power or you have no influence or you
226. 10:10have no resources or you have no joy,
227. 10:14whatever, you know, whatever that fill
228. 10:16in the blank is for you. I have no
229. 10:19blank. But actually a biblical worldview
230. 10:21then challenges you and says, "Do you
231. 10:23have the Lord? Do you have Yahweh? Do
232. 10:25you have God? Because if you have the
233. 10:27Lord, then the Lord is your joy and the
234. 10:31Lord is your power and the Lord is your
235. 10:34whatever that thing is that you think
236. 10:36you don't have." It's my nerdy nugget
237. 10:38for Psalm 142. Okay. Uh let's keep
238. 10:40going. Let's read Psalm 143 in verse 4
239. 10:45says this. This is another individual
240. 10:47lament. Okay. So, you know, bad news,
241. 10:49sad news, you know, it's it's it's
242. 10:51venting, it's complaining, you know,
243. 10:53it's teeters on the negative side, but
244. 10:57even in the negativity, like David
245. 10:59always shows us how to navigate our
246. 11:02negative emotions to get to a place of
247. 11:04faith. So, here's what it says. Psalm
248. 11:06143, we're going to read verse four. So,
249. 11:09my spirit grows faint within me. I
250. 11:12circled that word faint when I was
251. 11:14reading. Grows faint within me. My heart
252. 11:18within me is dismayed. So my emotional
253. 11:21state is faint and dismayed, broken,
254. 11:25downhearted, you know, whatever. It's
255. 11:26all under the banner of faint. Like I'm
256. 11:29fainting. Like, can you imagine being so
257. 11:31overwhelmed that you're at the point of
258. 11:33fainting? Like I'm fainting with
259. 11:35exhaustion. I'm fainting with just
260. 11:37feelings of overwhelmedness.
261. 11:41And then we actually get a sense clue as
262. 11:44to why there's fainting. And I I want to
263. 11:47ask the same question to you cuz I think
264. 11:49this is where we get to. This is what
265. 11:50David wants us to get to. It says this.
266. 11:53Uh so my spirit grows faint within me.
267. 11:55My heart within me is dismayed. Verse 5,
268. 11:58I remember the days of long ago. I
269. 12:01meditate on all your works and consider
270. 12:04what your hands have done. I remember. I
271. 12:06meditate. I consider. By the way, this
272. 12:08is how Hebrew poetry works. It's not
273. 12:11that the words rhyme. It's that the
274. 12:12concepts rhyme. The ideas rhyme. Okay?
275. 12:15So remember, meditate, and consider are
276. 12:18all the same idea. And I just want you
277. 12:21to get this one idea into your head,
278. 12:23this one concept into your head. Maybe
279. 12:25you're fainting because you're
280. 12:27forgetting. Maybe you're fainting
281. 12:29because you're forgetting. Cuz
282. 12:30immediately David realizes, ah, my
283. 12:33spirit grows faint within me. And then
284. 12:35he then verse five, realize the issue.
285. 12:38Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me remember. I
286. 12:41need to remember the days of long ago. I
287. 12:43need to meditate on Yahweh's works. I
288. 12:46need to consider what his hands have
289. 12:48done. I could consider and meditate my
290. 12:52problem. Or I could consider and
291. 12:55meditate all the things that God's done.
292. 12:58But that's going to require me going
293. 12:59back into my memory bank and remembering
294. 13:03how faithful God's been. And if I do a
295. 13:06good job of remembering, guess what? I
296. 13:08won't fall into fainting because of
297. 13:12forgetting. I'm fainting. I'm weak. I'm
298. 13:15weary. I'm overwhelmed. Because really,
299. 13:17I keep on forgetting. And all of us have
300. 13:21spiritual amnesia from time to time. WE
301. 13:24JUST FORGET. WE FORGET HOW FAITHFUL
302. 13:25GOD'S BEEN. WE FORGET HOW AWESOME he's
303. 13:28been. We forget that this isn't the your
304. 13:31first rodeo. Like, this isn't your first
305. 13:33time facing a giant. It's not your first
306. 13:35time marching around a wall. This is not
307. 13:36your first time, you know, believing God
308. 13:39for big things. It's not your first
309. 13:40time. I'm a preacher myself and I'm in
310. 13:42the middle of planting a church right
311. 13:43now and I got to remember, wait, wait.
312. 13:45If if the same God who got me and my
313. 13:48wife miraculously pregnant with our son
314. 13:50is the same God that called us to plant
315. 13:52a church, man, what am I stressed out
316. 13:55about? Why am I stressed? I'm preaching
317. 13:57to the choir. All right, I'm on it. The
318. 13:59same God who called me to start Arma
319. 14:02Studios with multiple employees now in
320. 14:05my garage in the middle of a pandemic.
321. 14:08has called me to plant A CHURCH, MAN.
322. 14:11THE SAME GOD who led me through that is
323. 14:14going to lead me through this. And there
324. 14:16are times in the church planting process
325. 14:19where I have felt overwhelmed. I have
326. 14:21felt myself fainting. When I look at A
327. 14:24NUMBER JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO, you know,
328. 14:27I realized, oh, we need HALF A MILLION.
329. 14:31WOO! ALL RIGHT. I've never needed half a
330. 14:33million dollars before, man. Well, guess
331. 14:35what? The same God that provided $50,000
332. 14:38when we needed cameras for the studio is
333. 14:40going to provide $500,000.
334. 14:43And when I remember what God has done,
335. 14:46it gives me strength to not fate faint
336. 14:50now that I'm at a different obstacle or
337. 14:52a different wall. That is my nerdy
338. 14:54nugget for Psalm 143. Let's look at
339. 14:58Psalm 144. Okay, a lot of the material
340. 15:01from Psalm 144 is taken from elsewhere.
341. 15:04This is taken from earlier material.
342. 15:06Psalm 144 really highlights the thing
343. 15:09that makes David David. All right. Says
344. 15:12this, "Praise be to the Lord, my rock,
345. 15:14who trains my hands for war, my fingers
346. 15:17for battle." David makes it clear. Hey,
347. 15:20it's not my own training that makes me a
348. 15:22good warrior. No, no, no. The Lord
349. 15:25trains my hands for war. He trains my
350. 15:28fingers for battle. All right. Then I
351. 15:30want us to skip all the way down to
352. 15:32verse 9. It says this. I will sing a new
353. 15:35song to you, my God. On the 10 stringed
354. 15:38glider, I will make music to you. To the
355. 15:41one who gives victory to kings, who
356. 15:44delivers his servant David from the
357. 15:47deadly sword. Deliver me. Rescue me from
358. 15:50the hands of foreigners, whose mouths
359. 15:53are full of lies, whose right hands are
360. 15:57deceitful. What does Saul just have an
361. 16:00issue doing? Saul actually robs Yahweh
362. 16:04of glory and praise. Whereas David,
363. 16:06David wants to shower Yahweh with glory
364. 16:11and praise. And you actually can begin
365. 16:13to see the juxosition of a king who
366. 16:16takes glory for himself versus David who
367. 16:19gives glory to Yahweh. So Psalm 144 is a
368. 16:25royal psalm, a messianic psalm. So, this
369. 16:28royal psalm is designed to celebrate the
370. 16:31victories of the king. And what does
371. 16:33David the king say? As we're supposed to
372. 16:36be celebrating his victories, he makes
373. 16:39it less about himself and more about
374. 16:42Yahweh, more about God. Okay? He sings,
375. 16:45"NO, NO, WHOA. HEY, I'LL SING A NEW song
376. 16:48to you. To Yahweh on the 10 string liar.
377. 16:52I will make music to you cuz this
378. 16:56victory is not simply mine because I was
379. 16:59a brilliant military commander. No, no,
380. 17:01no, no. You are the one that's brought
381. 17:04us victory. Okay? You are the one who
382. 17:07has protected your people. Psalm 145 is
383. 17:13our last psalm of David. Can you believe
384. 17:14it? This is the 73rd Psalm that David
385. 17:18attributes is is attributed to him that
386. 17:20we have in the collection of the Psalms.
387. 17:23By the time we pick up tomorrow, we will
388. 17:26be looking at Psalm 146, which is uh
389. 17:31actually written by our good friend
390. 17:33Ezra. All right, so today's it. Okay, we
391. 17:36get to wave. We not get to. I mean, we
392. 17:39have to. It's kind of like we I I at
393. 17:41least am begrudgingly waving goodbye to
394. 17:45David. And so we get to Psalm 145. This
395. 17:48is the final hymn. Uh this is a full
396. 17:50acrostic. Okay. Uh that means that every
397. 17:53stanza is taken from a letter of the
398. 17:56Hebrew alphabet. We have a full acrostic
399. 17:59here, but we're missing one letter. So
400. 18:02that's the nerdy nugget. And I would say
401. 18:04that Psalm 145 is a summary. It's a
402. 18:10wonderful summary of David's life of
403. 18:11worship. Okay? For all his faults, David
404. 18:14had one strength that was greater than
405. 18:16any other character in the Old
406. 18:18Testament. He was perhaps the greatest
407. 18:21worshipper that ever existed. All right.
408. 18:24So Psalm 145, I would say, is just a
409. 18:28good legacy psalm for David. It says
410. 18:31this starting in verse one, I will exalt
411. 18:34you, my God the King. Oh, don't you love
412. 18:37that? My God the King. King David is
413. 18:41calling Yahweh the King. My God the
414. 18:43King. I will praise your name forever
415. 18:45and ever. Every day I will praise you
416. 18:48and extol your name forever and ever.
417. 18:52Every day. This is not something I just
418. 18:54do when I'm in a good mood. This isn't
419. 18:56every seven days like on Sunday at
420. 18:59church. No, no, no. every single day.
421. 19:01Okay. Great is the Lord most worthy of
422. 19:03praise. His greatness no one can fathom.
423. 19:06One generation commends your works to
424. 19:08another. They tell of your mighty acts.
425. 19:13So I just want to end our time together
426. 19:17with a timeless truth that for David he
427. 19:21wants one generation to commend the work
428. 19:26or the name or the glory of the Lord to
429. 19:29the next generation. It says this uh one
430. 19:32generation commends your works to
431. 19:34another. They tell of your mighty acts.
432. 19:37Number one, that communicates to us that
433. 19:40it's praise isn't just talking to God or
434. 19:43singing about God, but it's telling
435. 19:45other people about how great God is.
436. 19:48Okay, that's also praise. It's bragging
437. 19:50about God. It's telling other people the
438. 19:53good things that God has done. But if
439. 19:56there's a legacy that David leaves
440. 19:58behind, it's that he wants the baton of
441. 20:02worship to get passed from his
442. 20:03generation to the next. It's funny. I
443. 20:06was at a church recently that was really
444. 20:07multigenerational, which by the way,
445. 20:09multigenerational ministry is like the
446. 20:11bomb. And uh I was asking the pastor,
447. 20:14"How'd you get, you know, all the
448. 20:16grandpas and grandmas to like stay in
449. 20:17church?" You know, sometimes people can
450. 20:19be so attached to like the color of the
451. 20:22carpet or to singing hymns or to pews or
452. 20:27to stained glass or whatever. And he
453. 20:29said, "Well, I just challenged all the
454. 20:31grandparents in our church." And I asked
455. 20:33them, "Do you want your grandpa do you
456. 20:35want your grandchildren to come to this
457. 20:36church?" If you want your grandchildren
458. 20:38to come to this church, then we're going
459. 20:40to have to make some changes. And they'd
460. 20:42rather their grandchildren have a legacy
461. 20:46of worship versus a legacy of a style.
462. 20:51And that's timelessly true. David says
463. 20:53that the real goal of worship is that
464. 20:56verse 4 of Psalm 145 is that one
465. 20:59generation would commend the works of
466. 21:01Yahweh to another. One generation would
467. 21:04commend the works of Yahweh to another.
468. 21:06So multi-generational ministry is
469. 21:09actually like the point. Like that's the
470. 21:11goal. What good is it if we win an
471. 21:14entire generation for Christ and then
472. 21:16that generation doesn't
473. 21:18carry or pass the baton of worship or
474. 21:22faith to the next generation. And so I
475. 21:25love this because David's legacy isn't
476. 21:27style. David's legacy isn't and that's
477. 21:31why I love the fact that we don't know
478. 21:33how any of these psalms were actually
479. 21:34sung. We don't know the melodies. I'm
480. 21:37glad that we don't because if we did, we
481. 21:38would try to resurrect a style instead
482. 21:41of resurrecting what we should
483. 21:43resurrect, which is I think what David's
484. 21:45trying to pass along, which is his
485. 21:48passion in his heart and his emphasis on
486. 21:51the importance of the presence of God,
487. 21:53the manifest presence of God. If there's
488. 21:55something that I want my son to say
489. 21:57about me, it's not that I loved a
490. 22:00certain style of worship. It's that I
491. 22:03loved God. It's not that I liked a
492. 22:05certain kind of music or I like choirs
493. 22:07or I liked gospel or I liked hill song.
494. 22:10No, no. It's that I knew what the
495. 22:12presence of God felt like and I talked
496. 22:16to him about how awesome God was and I
497. 22:19got him connected not with a style of
498. 22:22worship but with the object of our
499. 22:25worship which is none other than the
500. 22:28Lord. And I think that's a timeless
501. 22:30truth. I I don't think that's just true
502. 22:31for David. I think that's true for all
503. 22:34of us as we try to lead
504. 22:35multigenerational churches, as we try to
505. 22:39lead intergenerational churches, as we
506. 22:41realize that the likelihood of somebody
507. 22:43being a believer is in direct proportion
508. 22:46to the amount of people that they
509. 22:48worship with who come from other
510. 22:50generations. I think it's easy to create
511. 22:53churches with one generation present.
512. 22:56But what we need is we need 70 and 80
513. 22:59year olds to be commending the works of
514. 23:00Yahweh to the next generation. And we
515. 23:03need boomers to be commending the works
516. 23:05of Yahweh to millennials and gen Gen X.
517. 23:08And we need Gen X and millennials to
518. 23:10commend the works of Yahweh to Gen Z.
519. 23:13That's healthy. It's good. And that's
520. 23:15not just true for David in Psalm 145.
521. 23:17And the reason that we're sitting here
522. 23:19today still talking about David is
523. 23:22because guess what? His goal happened.
524. 23:25We're going to go to Psalm 146 tomorrow
525. 23:28and Ezra is going to eventually write
526. 23:32the last five psalms. Why? Because the
527. 23:36legacy of what David instituted got
528. 23:39passed from one generation to the next
529. 23:41to the next and the next to the next and
530. 23:43the next to the next to the next finally
531. 23:45to Ezra. And songs haven't gotten passed
532. 23:50down, but a heart for worship has gotten
533. 23:52passed down. And my question to you is,
534. 23:55are you going to keep the baton going?
535. 23:58Are you going to commend Yahweh's works
536. 24:00to the next generation? I know I am. At
537. 24:02least I'm going to try my best. All
538. 24:04right, that is Psalms 142 to 145. I hope
539. 24:09that you ENJOY DAY 299. TOMORROW WE'VE
540. 24:11GOT DAY 300. We're going to be looking
541. 24:13at Psalms 146 to 148. It's going to be
542. 24:17awesome. Same time, same place. I'm
