Psalm 92 — The Sabbath Song of the King
Episode 2.60
Psalm 92 stands alone in the Psalter — “A Song for the Sabbath.”
It’s a perfectly balanced, chiastic psalm that blends praise, wisdom, and victory, with a single line shining at its center:
“The LORD is on high forever.”
In this episode, Zach and Michael unpack the psalm’s structure and theology, showing how the King’s deliverance foreshadows Christ’s triumph and how worship reorients our lives around God’s eternal rule.
Listeners will explore:
– The seven-fold symmetry that reveals divine perfection in the psalm’s design
– How the “flourishing of the wicked” is temporary, while the righteous thrive in God’s presence
– Why verse 8 (“You on high forever, LORD”) is the hinge that holds the entire psalm together
– How Sabbath worship reorders perspective and renews hope
– The connection between Psalm 92 and true thanksgiving — gratitude expressed in liturgical life
Takeaway:
Psalm 92 teaches that flourishing begins where worship takes root.
The wicked may bloom briefly, but only those planted in the Lord’s courts bear fruit forever.

00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,960
I saw the saddest thing in the
world a couple weeks ago,
2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,440
Michael.
Maybe a week ago.
3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,280
I experienced the saddest thing
in the world a couple weeks ago.
4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,680
And my son, two of my son's
birthdays, we always race on
5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,520
their birthday.
Opened it up to the home groups.
6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,560
Had a wonderful race with
Jonathan White.
7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,960
Emerson E did EI Don't remember
Eli participate or not.
8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,240
I think he did.
He wasn't going to.
9
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:23,280
Maybe he did.
You wouldn't know.
10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,680
I don't.
I don't know if he participated.
11
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,560
Well, who I know for sure did
not participate.
12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,160
As we were walking in, Michael
Mott was like walking out, like
13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,200
ready to race.
Got my, got my sock, my shoe.
14
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,080
Like he like I just changed.
And we were like, oh, we just
15
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,000
finished.
We had family photos, so we were
16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,080
like just, we actually got
there.
17
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,320
I thought, oh, we're going to be
in time for everything.
18
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,880
And I, I brought clothes to
change out of and I was like, I
19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,840
parked, walked in, changed.
I saw some texts coming in from
20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,080
my wife like, hey, where are
you?
21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,120
But I was like if I answer them
I will be slower.
22
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,520
You had to go.
So I had to.
23
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:06,080
Go cause 'cause your cause, your
family witnessed the race, you,
24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,000
I, I and honestly, I didn't
think.
25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,120
Probably saved me from blowing
out my hammy though.
26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,400
Honestly, maybe that was God's
Providence.
27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,400
I was gonna say I did not think
anything of it.
28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,480
I was like, oh, Michael missed
it.
29
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,080
And then I saw like, Lydia being
like, it's OK, Dad.
30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,480
I was like, oh, no, I, I feel
like really bad.
31
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,240
Oh, yeah.
So.
32
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Yeah, she knows.
She knows I like like to run.
33
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,840
So.
Man, so all that's.
34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,320
People look at me and they go,
man, he likes to run.
35
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,680
He like.
Must run.
36
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,560
All I say.
We should have a spring session.
37
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,920
I mean, we should keep it going,
you know?
38
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,200
Yeah, I think that would be
good.
39
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,920
And that that might give me
'cause there was these things
40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,040
always hit me like you roller
coaster, 'cause there was a
41
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:54,120
time, maybe January, February
time frame where I would do like
42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,840
10 sprints on what we call Snake
Alley a a night.
43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,920
So I would just like haul as
much as I could and then like
44
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,720
that wears you out.
But then I would, I would
45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,800
rundown and then I'd walk back.
Yeah, rundown.
46
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,480
And I'd walk back kind of get
cutting my brush, but haven't
47
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,280
been doing that lately.
So that that'd be good to get
48
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:14,960
back into.
Yeah.
49
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,240
I I.
Was just telling Michael this
50
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,800
might be for a future podcast,
but I'm looking ahead to New
51
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,640
Year's resolutions and I'm like,
I want to see how fast I can run
52
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:25,400
a 40 yard dash and 100m race
just to see, you know, just to
53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,080
train like a sprinter for a
little bit, see what's like
54
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,080
never ran.
Did you do track and deal with
55
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,600
tracks like I did?
So I I did sports up to 9th
56
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,600
grade.
Okay, yeah.
57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:40,240
And then in 9th grade I made a
decision to cut out all
58
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,240
athletics and just focus 100% on
music and Cuba.
59
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Looking back, maybe I would.
It's hard to say.
60
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,480
You do things different.
That's right, yeah, things turn
61
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,160
up okay.
Yeah, but I look back and go,
62
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,080
oh, what?
What did I miss?
63
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,480
What could have, what could have
been My my siblings did.
64
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,280
My school did not have track and
field.
65
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,360
My my moved to Florida when I
was in college.
66
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,920
My siblings finished up at a
school that did track and field
67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,440
and they really enjoyed it.
And I'll tell you what, those
68
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,760
events can go all day.
Oh, they do go all day because
69
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,000
you have heats and then you have
different things like I did shop
70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,280
put and discus and then I always
thought, you know, I'd be a good
71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,480
long jumper cause of you know,
but not so and you know, you,
72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,760
you'd think, you know, you
always think that you have like
73
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,560
long legs 'cause you're.
Tall.
74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Yeah.
Yeah.
75
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280
Yeah, but as I've gotten an
adult, like I've realized that
76
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,480
my tallness is mainly, mainly my
trunk, 'cause I, you know,
77
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,080
there's some people that have
really long legs, some people
78
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,600
that have really long trunk.
So my tallness is not that I
79
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:47,440
have short legs, but you know.
But then there was a time that I
80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,480
got called in to run a relay
and.
81
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,480
Like without like, like you just
were like, hey, you got to fill
82
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,560
when the guy's sick or
something, or like you practiced
83
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,120
for it and stuff.
Oh yeah, practiced for it and
84
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,280
stuff.
I thought, I thought, like, they
85
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,640
like, hey, Jim's out, Michael,
you're in.
86
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:01,880
Like, that'd be amazing.
Yeah.
87
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Yeah, so I remember in 7th
grade, we went to a track meet
88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,120
and they they're like, you know,
all big boys.
89
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,120
You're going to run the 800.
Just.
90
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,880
Oh yeah, just.
Just just to give you something
91
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120
to do because you know, y'all
are sitting around or something.
92
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,080
And I had a little bit of chip
on my shoulder because that's
93
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,560
right.
And I probably came in 'cause it
94
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,000
was like they put all the fast
people up front and then just a
95
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,000
mass of us.
So like I am like trying to
96
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,720
trying trying to get up to the
front like to show them like and
97
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,280
and they're like I got noticed.
Yeah.
98
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,920
So yeah, yeah, I wished my
school at track that had been
99
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,240
like so fun to like at least
just try out the different
100
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,320
things and try to learn
technique on like some of this
101
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:49,560
stuff.
That had been pretty cool.
102
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,840
But so so now I've got to live
my past like I cares like at
103
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:55,120
home groups.
I'll have like a whole like
104
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,280
Olympic.
Day we'll get a 12 LB ball of
105
00:04:58,280 --> 00:05:01,760
metal and we'll we'll we'll do
that too we'll help make my.
106
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,080
My sister threw discus and she
did pretty good.
107
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,040
Discus, I never.
Discus is like all technique.
108
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,440
You cannot just muscle it out
there.
109
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,640
And I could not get the thing to
spin well, man.
110
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,000
And there was this other guy who
was like, let it come out the
111
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
back of his hand and it would
get a lot of spin.
112
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,400
I'm like, that's not right.
Jason.
113
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,000
I don't say your last name, but
the Jason who got drafted to the
114
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,280
Timberwolves.
That Jason.
115
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,360
Wow.
He, he let it come out the back
116
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,600
of his hand.
And I was like, that's, that's,
117
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,200
that's not the right technique,
but you know, you're supposed to
118
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,520
like leading edge and throw it.
But yeah, man, shot put.
119
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,840
I, I was I, I won, honestly.
We should do just like a a.
120
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,040
Game of Field.
That would be like so.
121
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Fun that would be.
Honestly, that's get.
122
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760
That long pole and like you know
the one where they do in
123
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,040
Scotland where you're like
trying to.
124
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Oh, like get into that.
That's like, that's like great
125
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,960
honestly idea.
Next time they do the Olympics,
126
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,720
I will plan church wide, like
summer, like we'll do our own
127
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,840
Summer Olympics and like you're
on teams with people like it'd
128
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,920
be pretty fun.
Do we get to draft our teams?
129
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,360
We'll draft our teams.
Well, we're, I'm just, yeah,
130
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,440
yeah.
That would be like super fun.
131
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,360
And it's like you got a good mix
of people and it's like just
132
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,520
just have fun out there, you
know, see what's going on.
133
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,400
And maybe it would be great if
like Lori Summers was just like
134
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,720
a triple jump phenom.
Like just like someone like
135
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,600
totally surprises you.
It's like, wow.
136
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,840
That would be a surprise.
Like, oh, how where you where
137
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,600
did that come from?
That'd be great.
138
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,000
Also, we should we this will be
on it.
139
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,920
Have you seen like competitive,
like walking?
140
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,920
Have you seen this before the?
The speed walk.
141
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,840
Speed walking, Yeah, man, I
don't know what to think about
142
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:43,200
that.
There are referees out there and
143
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,720
like you can get penalties if
you do certain things, like if
144
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,120
you're think of both of your
feet are off the ground at one
145
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,520
time.
Yeah, Yeah, you're not.
146
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,760
Walking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
147
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,160
But man, it's like I.
Don't know why in in school we
148
00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:58,200
like in high school like we did
at one time.
149
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Like I don't know why my PE
teacher and didn't I'd not get
150
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,440
along because we were always
like we're doing like stupid,
151
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,760
but he was like exposure to all
these sports and dude speed
152
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,000
walking.
It works muscles in a different
153
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,480
way to know where it's like
you're like, Oh my anterior tip
154
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,920
or these like muscles you're
like just.
155
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,160
What you're saying as as a 10th
grader, my anterior's not saying
156
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,560
that.
But I was like, I was like
157
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,640
having like shins.
I was like, this is like hurt.
158
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,040
I play soccer, but I this
walking stuff.
159
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,040
Yeah, yeah.
But you're right.
160
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,960
You are acting it out like the
way they walk.
161
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,120
And stuff they do.
They get the speed, so we
162
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,440
should.
We'll do a mix of events.
163
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,320
So it's like, you know, you
might not know who's going to
164
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,400
win, but that will.
Be super fun.
165
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,920
Clearly Olympic event, right?
Actually, it might.
166
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Be it might be now they switched
a lot of this around where now
167
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,160
it's like, you know, there's
flag football and all these
168
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,920
things.
I I will say I'm I am a little
169
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,320
sad that break dancing only had
one year.
170
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,880
I think if we didn't have
whatever her name was, it just
171
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,720
gave it just bad optics.
Yeah, yeah.
172
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,400
You hate to see that.
You hate to see.
173
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,480
Yeah, I I watch reels of people
who break dancing.
174
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,480
Like that's.
Be an Olympic sport.
175
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,160
But those people, I guess didn't
try out, didn't hear about it.
176
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,920
I I don't know.
Yes, whatever happened that's
177
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,960
that's amazing.
Well, Speaking of.
178
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Praise.
Dancing.
179
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Yeah, there's dancing a lot.
We see that in Psalms.
180
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,600
So we're looking at Psalm 92.
This will this will air on
181
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,000
Thanksgiving.
On Thanksgiving.
182
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,640
So I'm sure, you know, people
are right now.
183
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,960
You're probably, you know,
getting your Turkey ready to go
184
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,840
into the oven.
Maybe you're, you know, getting
185
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,960
your pecan pie ready and you're
listening to the smooth voices.
186
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,600
Oh.
Man.
187
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,760
Of take toothy.
No better way to start your
188
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,799
Thanksgiving Day?
Yeah, or maybe you're just like,
189
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:44,840
it's the morning sun's coming
up, you're enjoying a cup of
190
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,360
coffee.
You, you thought about a Tuesday
191
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:52,200
episode and you're like, how can
I give thanks?
192
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,000
Not just think.
Thanks.
193
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,440
Boom, I love it.
That's a great segue, Psalm 92.
194
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Let's take it to the next level.
Let's fire up that twanga music.
195
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,400
From the hearts of the Low
Country in South Carolina.
196
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,760
It's the Take Two podcast where
we take theology to the next
197
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,640
level.
Psalm 92.
198
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,520
Fun fact, if you were, if you
were in trivia and someone says
199
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,120
you know what Psalm has?
The superscript, the label?
200
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,320
A song for the Sabbath, There's
only one.
201
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,160
You wanna guess which one it is?
I'm I'm gonna well, because
202
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,720
we're doing it on Psalm 92 and I
can see the notes.
203
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,960
I would say Psalm 92, but I
would not have known that
204
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:36,440
otherwise.
I would.
205
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Not have known that either.
The superscripts.
206
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,880
The superscripts like they they
like.
207
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,760
They're so fascinating.
To me.
208
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,120
I'm looking at these but it's.
Those are the ones that were
209
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,760
inspired, right?
Oh yeah, totally.
210
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,800
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think, 'cause there
211
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,040
are, there are things that are
inspired and there are things
212
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:52,960
that aren't.
Right.
213
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,520
So like the prick of beheading
is not like the translation, but
214
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,040
these are like actually in, in
like the manuscripts.
215
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:58,800
That's rich.
And yeah, yeah, yeah.
216
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,920
Yeah, yeah.
So like in mine, it says Psalm
217
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,600
92, praise for the Lord's
goodness, and then underneath
218
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,680
that it says a Psalm, a song for
the Sabbath day.
219
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,840
And it might be in like.
So I I think this a Psalm, a
220
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,960
song for the Sabbath day, is
part of the original, right?
221
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,520
I I think there's a lot of
debate on this, whether it was.
222
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,440
It's not something we've added
in the last. 100 years it's not
223
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:19,720
what?
Yes.
224
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,560
For sure.
That for sure that.
225
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,080
Maybe Ezra came along and added
them later.
226
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,360
That's right.
You don't know, like, yeah,
227
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,720
you're exactly right.
It's so interesting that this is
228
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,160
the only large it's.
Not not a trustworthy guy, you
229
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,560
know.
Come on, Ezra.
230
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:35,520
Rearranging stuff and like
putting stuff in order to make
231
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,800
it make sense.
What are you doing?
232
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,120
For us, like what are you doing
well?
233
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,440
Whoever did this superscript,
only one, that's a song for the
234
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,520
Sabbath.
That's like fascinating.
235
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,200
That's like this one's like
specially selected.
236
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,000
So we need to do this one every
Sunday.
237
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,600
Maybe this is like the go to
Saturday boom.
238
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,040
I like it.
That's right.
239
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,720
That's right.
And you alluded to this maybe at
240
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,200
the end of last podcast episode.
Some would say it's a chiastic
241
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,680
masterpiece.
So if so, if it is just to like
242
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:09,840
get to it, if there are 15
verses, yeah, chiasm, we should
243
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,880
look to the center, the center
verse.
244
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,160
Verse 8.
Verse 8 What's what's that?
245
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,640
Can you read that for us?
But you, oh Lord, are on high
246
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,240
forever.
Yeah, kind of gets to the the
247
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,600
crux of it right in the middle.
So let's let's talk about the
248
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,320
structure and then we can kind
of dive into it.
249
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,760
We talked about the
superscripts.
250
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,400
If you would peek ahead and look
at verses 9 and 10, we'll we'll
251
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,600
read it eventually.
You'll see that it's written
252
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,000
from the perspective of a king.
A king is writing this and we
253
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,800
mentioned this chiastic outline.
If you don't know what a chiasm
254
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,440
is, it's kind of like an X, this
letter chi.
255
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,960
Yes.
With the center is the main
256
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,600
point.
Or maybe if you're thinking like
257
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,880
you wrote an outline and like
you're indenting, indenting,
258
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,880
indenting, and then you out
dent, out, dent, out dent, and
259
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,640
the things that line up
basically have the same meaning,
260
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,800
but maybe expressed slightly
differently.
261
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,880
Yeah, very symmetrical, yes.
And as you get in inside, those
262
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,160
are also going to line up.
But then that's where the heart
263
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,040
of the message is, is in the
center.
264
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,360
It's like a Tootsie.
Pop.
265
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,120
And you can see this, Yeah.
How many licks does it take to
266
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:17,840
get?
Do you remember those
267
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,960
commercials like the owl or
whatever the animals were?
268
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,800
You see exactly what Michael
said, the symmetry kind of
269
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,120
leading into the middle,
different than our Western minds
270
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,440
often work.
And this Psalm is so unique
271
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,400
because it's like 7 verses on
each side.
272
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,800
We've got this number, you know,
for perfection and early as you
273
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,400
read it.
And if you can see it in the
274
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,640
chiasm particularly well, you
see the eternal God, the center
275
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,480
line you are on, you are on high
forever Lord.
276
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,880
What surrounds that immediately
talks about the wicked.
277
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,800
It's like this contract between
the wicked and our righteous
278
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,880
God.
And we see that in this Psalm
279
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,600
and this king is delivered.
We we kind of see that point
280
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,840
point to to Christ as well.
So that that's kind of big
281
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,800
picture just walking into it.
Song for the Sabbath.
282
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,440
We got this chiasm, you are on
high forever Lord.
283
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,880
Let's go through it.
Yeah, that's that's real good.
284
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Can we read it?
Let's let's all of it.
285
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,840
Let's at least read maybe verses
one through 4.
286
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,760
All right, sounds good.
It is good to give thanks to the
287
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,560
Lord, and to sing praises to
your name, O Most High, to
288
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,480
declare your loving kindness in
the morning and your
289
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,640
faithfulness by night, with the
10 stringed lute and with the
290
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,440
harp, and with resounding music
upon the lyre.
291
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,880
For you, O Lord, have made me
glad by what you have done.
292
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,200
I will sing for joy at the works
of your hands.
293
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,800
Man, out of the gate, it's good
to give thanks.
294
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,880
The Psalm of Thanksgiving talks
about, you know, praising God
295
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,680
morning and night.
It's code for all the time.
296
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,600
We got musical instruments like
in there.
297
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,680
I love a good lute.
I mean, I mean who doesn't love
298
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:58,520
a good loot?
And if once you get the loot
299
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,680
going, I'm like, where's that
liar?
300
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,440
You know, you're just like,
you're just kind of like.
301
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,080
Oh yeah, yeah, and the harp.
Alludes to God's works, his
302
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,840
saving acts and history and and
the praise is grounded in God's
303
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,280
character.
So that's how it starts off.
304
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,080
I'm almost curious, what if you
read 12 verse 12 through 6 in
305
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,200
the end?
Is this other?
306
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,800
Symmetrical part, the the part
that kind of reflects the same
307
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,440
idea.
Yeah, yeah.
308
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,160
So it says the righteous man
will flourish like the palm
309
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,200
tree.
He will grow like a probably
310
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,520
actually 1314.
Yeah, probably.
311
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,200
So.
That's good.
312
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,320
Oh no, 12 it is 12.
Yeah, he will grow like a cedar
313
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,960
in Lebanon, planted in the House
of the Lord.
314
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,720
They will flourish in the courts
of our God.
315
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,920
They will still yield fruit in
old age.
316
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,480
They shall be full of SAP and
very green.
317
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,520
To declare that the Lord is
upright.
318
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,520
He is my rock and there is no
unrighteousness in Him.
319
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,120
So if if this Psalm started off
saying it's good to give thanks
320
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,320
to the Lord, at the end, it's
like this is the person that
321
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,160
does give thanks to the Lord
kind of completing the thought.
322
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,200
And this person does praise God
morning and night, you know,
323
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,960
because the Lord has made him
glad by work, gives him joy and
324
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,360
he And so he again roots it in
God's character and then uses
325
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,960
some imagery.
Maybe you're not like used to
326
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,440
being like, hey, you're like a
cedar or you know, that kind of
327
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,200
thing.
But you know, it's good stuff,
328
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,880
good stuff.
You know, a healthy, healthy
329
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:24,880
tree is good.
A lot of.
330
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,720
Fruit.
And we're talking about, you
331
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,680
know, if they're like reading
the the song of Psalms to each
332
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,920
other, 'cause, you know, it's
just that imagery that, that
333
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,160
really spices, spices things up,
you know, like your neck is like
334
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,680
gazelle's neck, You know,
that's, that's what they love to
335
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,920
hear is what I.
Hear so, so good, so good, so,
336
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,920
so that.
That's the bookends.
337
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,120
If we come in a little bit, I'll
read verses 5 and six.
338
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,800
Really overview.
It's a praise of God's profound
339
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,000
thoughts.
How great are your works?
340
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,720
O Lord Yahweh?
Your thoughts are very deep.
341
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,080
The stupid man cannot know, the
fool cannot understand this.
342
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,920
And so we start seeing this
contrast like kind of slipping
343
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,680
and working its way towards the
wicked, talking about the fool
344
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,560
and how God's thoughts are so
different than this brutish man,
345
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,280
this stupid man, depending on
your translation, someone who's
346
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,240
morally blind and that the
wicked, the fool, they, they
347
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,120
misread God's point.
They don't know what God is
348
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,480
thinking.
God is infinitely higher than
349
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,080
they are.
His thoughts are very deep.
350
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,240
And if we were to compare that
to its counterpart versus 10
351
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,560
through 11, it reads, But you
have exalted my horn like that
352
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,480
of the wild ox.
But going back to some maybe
353
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,960
imagery we're not super familiar
with, all the time you have
354
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,680
poured over me fresh oil.
My eyes have seen the downfall
355
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,040
of my enemies.
My ears have heard the doom of
356
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040
my evil assailant.
So we see like the fool and
357
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,160
these evil people.
We kind of see this like
358
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,240
matching up here as well.
That's good oil.
359
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,680
When did that go out of favor?
When did people stop like just
360
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,720
pouring oil on them?
I mean, you're like.
361
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,240
You're like, I haven't stopped.
This is like that's how I start
362
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,920
my morning.
I, I, I don't, I'd have to look
363
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,359
it up.
I, I don't think it's clearly
364
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,240
not Psalm 22.
But there's the one that talks
365
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,079
about, you know, the, there's
yeah, yeah, the the dew coming
366
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:18,720
down from Mount Hermon and the,
the oil flowing down the beard,
367
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,760
even the beard, even Aaron.
And and it's like doesn't hit
368
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,119
the modern sensibilities.
It's like, do I get to take a
369
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,160
shower after all of the oil just
pulled on me?
370
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,080
That's exactly right.
It's like, man, it's good to,
371
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,680
you know, that cultural context.
And so we're kind of like
372
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,200
stepping in, and this is where
we kind of see the big contrast
373
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,000
to that center line if you want
to hit verse 7.
374
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,960
Then when then that, when the
wicked sprouted up like grass,
375
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,240
and all who did iniquity
flourished, it was only that
376
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,960
they might be destroyed forever
more.
377
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,880
Wow.
And it's like you see this grass
378
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,680
pop up.
We see this imagery other places
379
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,360
in Scripture that it kind of
comes and goes.
380
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,560
It might appear quickly like oh,
this might be something, but
381
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,880
it's temporary destruction is
coming and then the flip side or
382
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,360
the the counterpart verse 9.
For behold your enemies, O Lord,
383
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:13,000
For behold your enemies will
perish.
384
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,400
All who do iniquity will be
scattered.
385
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,960
You can make this pretty easily.
God, God make this, you know,
386
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,520
connection that God's enemies
fall, everything collapses.
387
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,800
You know, they, they don't live
on in perpetuity.
388
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:30,800
And that kind of leads us to
that center line that we've read
389
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,360
you on, you on high forever.
Lord is kind of that summit,
390
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:38,640
that apex of the Psalm that God
is exalted above all these
391
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,640
wicked people, all these foolish
people, all these enemies, and
392
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,320
his plan will govern.
The chaos stands alone.
393
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,320
There's nothing, nothing quite
like a good chiasm, you know.
394
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:55,720
I mean, I think it's really good
because it helps you like like
395
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,960
we were talking about last
episode, you know, like I'm not
396
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:03,400
necessarily very expressive, you
know, in my prayers, not not
397
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,800
necessarily.
But you see here like, hey,
398
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,680
we're going to let's, let's like
we're, you know, the imagery
399
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,280
that I just use is like a chow,
a cow chewing.
400
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,640
A CUD.
You know, but you know, you
401
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,480
chews it, swallows it, brings it
back up, chews it and thinks
402
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,960
about it a different way.
And in the same way, we have
403
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,760
these ideas about, you know,
what does it mean to be someone
404
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:28,960
who expresses thank,
thankfulness, gives thanks.
405
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,200
And then we saw, well, they're
like Cedars.
406
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,280
They're the people who are
always seeding and flourishing.
407
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,680
And then the people who are not
like that, the fools, the
408
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,960
enemies, the senseless, those
are the people like the grass.
409
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,520
Parachute, yeah, yeah.
Cedar versus grass, that's a
410
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,640
good, like a little blade of
grass, this huge cedar.
411
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,120
What a good image, right?
And think about that, even
412
00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:52,040
though it's right there, it's
good.
413
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,080
Yeah, it's good to think about
these.
414
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:56,000
Man, yeah.
And so I, I really like it
415
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,160
because it makes you think it.
And it's funny to me that, you
416
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,960
know, probably 40 years old, 42
years old when I first heard the
417
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,320
word Kyle.
Yeah.
418
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,560
It's just crazy.
It's.
419
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,560
Like you see it so much and when
I first.
420
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:14,680
Heard it.
I was like, that's probably,
421
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,160
that's probably.
People are probably making this
422
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,960
up dude.
I too, when I, when I honestly,
423
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,160
when I heard it, I was like, and
I think people do this.
424
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,240
I'm like, everything's not a
hammer or everything's not a if,
425
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,040
if everything if, you know, if
you have a hammer, everything's
426
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,000
like you're just like workings
in there and you are.
427
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,400
But sometimes it is pretty
evident that there's some
428
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,200
structure and it's like we read
Romans and we're very good about
429
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,160
outlining Romans.
Like why can't we do the same
430
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,000
thing, you know, with with some
of this Hebrew poetry.
431
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,160
So you mentioned, you know, this
contrast wickedness flourish for
432
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,040
a moment got us forever.
We see God's sovereignty at the
433
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,080
center of the Psalm.
We see this type of Christ
434
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,720
through here a little bit.
And the song of Sabbath worship
435
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,280
is kind of this root of this
flourishing.
436
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,240
It's important to just think
about that, that this growth is
437
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,840
so tightly connected to worship
of God.
438
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,160
God's sovereign all the time
beyond his throne, and we see
439
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,400
Christ as this king.
He was ambushed but delivered
440
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,360
and exalted also.
Just, somebody knows, prefigures
441
00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,280
Christ's victory over death and
evil like this.
442
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,040
Those people around him, you
know, behold your enemies, the
443
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,960
Lord, behold, they're going to
perish.
444
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,360
You're exalted like the horn of
the wild ox.
445
00:21:31,360 --> 00:21:34,600
So I wonder if that's that
instrument that Joel always had
446
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,840
us listen to, You know, the what
was it called?
447
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,040
Not the didgeridoo.
What was that called?
448
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,960
I don't.
I cannot remember.
449
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Yeah, that's good.
There's a church that has one
450
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,400
and they blow it literally to.
Start.
451
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,600
Let's bring it back, yeah?
To start, that's going to bother
452
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,680
me.
What what that is?
453
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,760
I love it.
That's great that center line,
454
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,200
but you award are on high
forever.
455
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,400
Great example of this Psalm that
begins and ends with
456
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,560
Thanksgiving, this outward
expression of inward gratitude.
457
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:10,480
And it kind of, you know, shows
you that this was probably part
458
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,280
of this, this weekly rhythm of a
Sabbath centered life for the
459
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,840
Jewish people.
So.
460
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,320
Far.
Oh yeah, so far we had.
461
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,040
We got it before the episode
ended.
462
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,560
That's great.
A lot of different Psalms of
463
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,400
Thanksgiving.
Anything else you want to point
464
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,480
out about this last?
So last year we did Psalm 100,
465
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,040
Psalm 192.
The good news is there's a lot
466
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,800
of Psalms of Thanksgiving.
We can kind of work our way
467
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:37,200
each.
Year.
468
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,360
We'll probably run out of years
of life before we run out of
469
00:22:40,360 --> 00:22:46,040
Psalms to do Thanksgiving
because man, there's like 150 of
470
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,200
them, right?
There's a lot of psalms, that is
471
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,160
for sure, but it's good.
It's a good reminder of of
472
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,600
chiasm's good reminder of, you
know, read these psalms, take
473
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,960
your time, be thankful, have
this gratitude, use it to
474
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:06,080
outwardly express, and you'll be
in good shape.
475
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,960
Yeah, maybe just a challenge to
the parents, the dads, the dads
476
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,200
in particular, but moms.
And maybe you can put a stone in
477
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,360
your husband's shoe or, you
know, it, your particular
478
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:19,600
arrangement is your husband's
not spiritual and not leading.
479
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,480
And maybe you can do this, but,
you know, turn to a Psalm like
480
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,120
this and maybe talk to it, talk
to it with your your family
481
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,360
around Thanksgiving.
And it can be devotional.
482
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:31,240
So maybe it's a, a good thing to
do.
483
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,880
Yeah.
That that is good.
484
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,760
B Don't just have gratitude,
have Thanksgiving.
485
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,400
And I mean, God's Word does it
for you.
486
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,200
I mean, in a way like, you know,
you can just read this and you
487
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,640
know, it's not hard to make the
connection blade of grass,
488
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:46,480
cedar, like did some things.
Maybe you're not going to pick
489
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,800
up every theological detail, but
you know, a lot of stuff I think
490
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,480
we can hit up.
So this is kind of like a little
491
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,480
bit different little thing, a
little Thanksgiving,
492
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,480
Thanksgiving.
Pause.
493
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's right.
494
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,680
Thanksgiving pause.
We'll get back to our regular
495
00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:01,920
programming down the line at
some point.
496
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,880
So great.
This is the part where you're
497
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,200
going to say how thankful you
are for me.
498
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,320
I am thankful.
So it's been been, I mean we're
499
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,120
like a year and 3/4 into this
journey, man.
500
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,520
Yeah, crazy.
Yeah, it is.
501
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,040
It is insane.
I'm, I'm I, I really want to
502
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,560
like plug.
I want to get AI to the point
503
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,480
where we can plug in all of our
but somebody like do an episode
504
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,280
for us.
Hey, is this the first time
505
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,840
we've had like a phone alarm?
I am thankful.
506
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,680
For that, there we go.
I think you've had one, but
507
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,120
that's a problem.
Yeah, that's my first one.
508
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:38,040
So reminded me of chess club in
the morning, which we're
509
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,760
actually not having since we had
a whole bunch of tournaments.
510
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,200
This.
Do you guys have any more chess
511
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,040
stuff?
Is it like there's rhythms to it
512
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:44,720
or how does it?
Work.
513
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,080
Yes.
Oh, in the fall.
514
00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:48,120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What's?
515
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,520
The and then in spring again, so
is.
516
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,200
This like the big tournament or
is there one?
517
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,400
Well, there's there's one of
equal stature in March.
518
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,720
OK.
And they're both the, it's kind
519
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,600
of like fall and spring.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
520
00:24:58,120 --> 00:25:00,760
And, you know, you think about
all like, if you're in another
521
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,960
sport, you do it multiple times.
That's right.
522
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,400
But there's only really two days
of the year that you're
523
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,040
competing in chess.
They all come.
524
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,120
It's like high stakes, like, I
hope you're feeling good.
525
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,120
They can clear.
Instead of everyone going to
526
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:14,880
state, we should have some
regional ones where it's not
527
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,600
maybe as big.
But yeah, like N like, couldn't
528
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,720
you have like pine?
We could have like the local,
529
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,480
yeah.
That's a good idea.
530
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,240
We've talked about doing that
and maybe doing it as a
531
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,960
fundraiser or something, but it
takes a lot of organizations,
532
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,920
someone to lead it, someone to
find the time and then yeah.
533
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,440
And then, then the algorithm,
the program doesn't work right.
534
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,240
And people you know, well,
that's great.
535
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,800
Well, we're thankful people.
Have a great Thanksgiving and
536
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,680
we'll see you next week.
Yeah, see you next week.
537
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,920
