00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.700
Hello, this is Father Paul, and I'm glad we're

00:00:03.700 --> 00:00:05.740
taking this journey together to read the Bible

00:00:05.740 --> 00:00:10.320
in a year. Today's reading is Psalm 33 and 66.

00:00:11.500 --> 00:00:14.980
Psalm 33 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,

00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.140
for praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:20.820
the Lord with the harp. Make melody to Him with

00:00:20.820 --> 00:00:23.579
an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new

00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:26.960
song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy. For

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.410
the word of the Lord is right. and all his work

00:00:29.410 --> 00:00:31.969
is done in truth. He loves righteousness and

00:00:31.969 --> 00:00:34.549
justice. The earth is full of the goodness of

00:00:34.549 --> 00:00:36.950
the Lord. By the word of the Lord the heavens

00:00:36.950 --> 00:00:39.829
were made, and all the host of them by the breath

00:00:39.829 --> 00:00:42.829
of his mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea

00:00:42.829 --> 00:00:46.109
together as a heap. He lays up the deep in storehouses.

00:00:46.450 --> 00:00:49.090
Let all the earth fear the Lord. Let all the

00:00:49.090 --> 00:00:51.630
inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.

00:00:51.829 --> 00:00:54.710
For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded and

00:00:54.710 --> 00:00:57.189
it stood fast. The Lord brings the counsel of

00:00:57.189 --> 00:00:59.670
the nations to nothing. He makes the plans of

00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:02.090
the peoples of no effect. The counsel of the

00:01:02.090 --> 00:01:05.030
Lord stands forever. The plans of his heart to

00:01:05.030 --> 00:01:07.750
all generations. Blessed is the nation whose

00:01:07.750 --> 00:01:10.689
God is the Lord. The people he has chosen as

00:01:10.689 --> 00:01:13.250
his own inheritance. The Lord looks from heaven.

00:01:13.390 --> 00:01:16.170
He sees all the sons of men. From the place of

00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:18.250
his dwelling he looks. On all the inhabitants

00:01:18.250 --> 00:01:20.890
of the earth he fashions their hearts individually.

00:01:21.209 --> 00:01:24.819
He considers all their works. No king is saved

00:01:24.819 --> 00:01:27.400
by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is

00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.140
not delivered by great strength. A horse is a

00:01:30.140 --> 00:01:32.939
vain hope for safety. Neither shall it deliver

00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:36.480
any by its great strength. Behold, the eye of

00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.079
the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.560
hope in his mercy, to deliver their soul from

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.819
death and to keep them alive in famine. Our soul

00:01:44.819 --> 00:01:47.659
waits for the Lord. He is our help and our shield.

00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:50.819
For our heart shall rejoice in him. because we

00:01:50.819 --> 00:01:53.379
have trusted in his holy name let your mercy

00:01:53.379 --> 00:01:58.480
o lord be upon us just as we hope in you psalm

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.079
66 inscription to the chief musician a song a

00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:06.120

00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:12.300
glorious say to god how awesome are your works

00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:14.900
through the greatness of your power your enemies

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:17.599
shall submit themselves to you All the earth

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.240
shall worship you and sing praises to you. They

00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:23.659
shall sing praises to your name, Salah. Come

00:02:23.659 --> 00:02:26.400
and see the works of God. He is awesome in his

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.199
doing toward the sons of men. He turned the sea

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.659
into dry land. They went through the river on

00:02:31.659 --> 00:02:35.000
foot. There we will rejoice in him. He rules

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.419
by his power forever. His eyes observe the nations.

00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:41.879
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves, Salah.

00:02:42.379 --> 00:02:45.400
O bless our God, you peoples, and make the voice

00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.479
of his praise to be heard, who keeps our soul

00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.819
among the living and does not allow our feet

00:02:50.819 --> 00:02:53.860
to be moved. For you, O God, have tested us.

00:02:53.939 --> 00:02:57.259
You have refined us as silver is refined. You

00:02:57.259 --> 00:02:59.580
brought us into the net. You laid affliction

00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:02.659
on our backs. You have caused men to ride over

00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:05.419
our heads. We went through fire and through water,

00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.520
but you brought us out to rich fulfillment. I

00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.219
will go into your house with burnt offerings.

00:03:10.419 --> 00:03:13.560
I will pay you my vows, which my lips have uttered,

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.060
and my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble.

00:03:16.219 --> 00:03:18.919
I will offer you burnt sacrifices of fat animals,

00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:22.360
with the sweet aroma of rams. I will offer bulls

00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:25.460
with goats, Salah. Come and hear all you who

00:03:25.460 --> 00:03:27.979
fear God, and I will declare what he has done

00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:30.719
for my soul. I cried to him with my mouth, and

00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.139
he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity

00:03:34.139 --> 00:03:36.960
in my heart, the Lord will not hear. But certainly

00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.960
God has heard me. He has attended to the voice

00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.120
of my prayer. Blessed be God who has not turned

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:51.879
away my prayer nor his mercy from me. I hope

00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.719
you enjoyed today's reading as much as I did.

00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.840
And I look forward to seeing you again tomorrow

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.319
to continue on our journey. God bless you and

00:03:58.319 --> 00:03:59.000
have a great day.
