The Book of Psalms

1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,880
All right, Michael, I'm gonna,
I'm gonna throw this at ya.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,600
Do.
I do I need to catch it?

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,400
Yeah, get, get ready 'cause I
don't know this, this game, I'm,

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,440
I'm stealing this from another
podcast, but I like, I like this

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,400
concept.
I'm gonna put my own twist on it

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,920
every weekend.
Well, this past weekend I, I

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,280
just cooked a nice steak and
potato.

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,960
Love steak, love, love with a
baked potato.

9
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,240
But sometimes in the past, why
I've done this, I've just not

10
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:27,720
planned out things very well.
And it's like I take out the

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,520
potato, it's not quite done, but
the steak's done.

12
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,840
I just got to eat it.
It's fine.

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,520
It's OK, but it's only half
baked.

14
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,960
It's not what you want.
So I've got some half baked

15
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,680
ideas for you.
They're not, they're not totally

16
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:41,600
baked.
They're not great ideas.

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,840
I know they're not.
There's holes in them and

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,440
they're specifically involving
church.

19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,480
I'm taking like.
Have lobsters take one claw off,

20
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:55,320
sell it, and then like feed them
for a long time while they grow

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,000
their other lobster claw back
and then pull that off again.

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,320
Kind of like that.
Exactly.

23
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,760
And I'm I'm gearing these
towards church, so I know

24
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,800
they're bad, but maybe there's a
sliver there.

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,600
Maybe there's something that you
like.

26
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,760
Maybe you don't talk through
some of these at you.

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,440
One we're trying to raise.
We're not.

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,400
I mean, maybe we're trying to
raise money for new facilities

29
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,120
down the road or?
Podcasting studio in charge.

30
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:21,840
Or podcasting studio, you know,
certain seats in the sanctuary,

31
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,000
valuable tickets.
I was thinking ticket sales at

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,640
first, but I thought what's
better than ticket sales is

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,960
maybe for your family.
So the Comptons, us, you, we sit

34
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,160
in the general vicinity and the
Hawks sit a little bit upfront.

35
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Most of the time it's OK, but
sometimes I think it's very rare

36
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,800
that all four of us can sit
where we want.

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Like some family gets bumped
when a visitor comes or

38
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,840
whatever.
So instead of normal ticket

39
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,480
sales, what what about season
tickets?

40
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Season tickets?
I get season tickets to my rope.

41
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:50,600
They're my rope.
Yeah, yeah.

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,880
They're like roped off.
I've got them, I paid.

43
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,680
For them, main plates reserved.
I can.

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,320
I'm going to be out on Sunday.
Hey, you want my season tickets?

45
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,880
I'm going to be out.
You want to go to the like you,

46
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,840
you got my tickets or you raise
money for the church and I know

47
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,560
I'm going to sit there instead
of like, oh, did I beat the

48
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,040
confidence today?
Yeah, Yeah.

49
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:09,160
No, I, I think that's great.
I mean, it probably looks a

50
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,040
little bit bad to visitors, but
you know, it's a good fundraiser

51
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,960
potentially.
So, so ID #1 idea #2A lot of

52
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,160
these are sports related.
I was thinking, right, right.

53
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,680
Sometimes we watch basketball
well.

54
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Oh yeah, yeah.
Going back to season tickets, I

55
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,880
was thinking, I think it's
Lambeau Field where it's like

56
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,680
there's a 40 year waiting list
or something like that for

57
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,920
season tickets, dude.
Yeah, let's get, let's make the

58
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:32,520
waiting list happen at at CBC.
Get the hype up.

59
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,800
People are going to want to,
Yeah, want to join ID #2 you'll

60
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,280
see this in NBA games, baseball
games, whatever.

61
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,160
But sometimes the players will
be miked up.

62
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,600
Why don't we mic up a random
congregate and be like, oh, Alex

63
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,720
Alspal's miked up and then like
we hear all his comments or

64
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Zach's miked up always talking
to Jayden.

65
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,200
Or you can kind of like hear.
The behind the scenes, that'd be

66
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960
good.
You know, we do have house mics,

67
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,320
so we could just turn those
puppies up and then everyone's

68
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,960
miked up.
But no, we had a gentleman

69
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,160
visiting today.
I don't know, I guess I could

70
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,640
say his name 'cause no one's
going to know him.

71
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:11,680
His name is Dwayne, but could be
the follow on to Jack.

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,600
And you know, you know, Jack's,
you know, vocalizing, you know,

73
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,520
his thoughts to Joel and stuff.
This guy, he's like, yeah, he's

74
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,400
he's in training for that
position.

75
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,200
So that'll be good.
I like the residency, yeah, for

76
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,480
the, for the shout for the Jack,
the Jack in training, right.

77
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,240
That actually be amazing.
We're going to need, we're

78
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,560
always going to need that a
couple more.

79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,160
I'm not going to run through all
these in case we do.

80
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,680
I might just keep a list going
that I bring up periodically,

81
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,760
just like in a game, there's a
kiss Cam or something.

82
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,680
What what about a nap Cam?
Don't be napkin or you get you

83
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,120
get put up on the screen and
it's like passers like making a

84
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,000
main point and then Michael
story.

85
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,840
'S up there.
Like he was napping.

86
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,360
Everyone's like getting a.
It's like a people.

87
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,440
Involved.
That's good.

88
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,240
So don't be on the nap.
Cam, we'll have to have a camera

89
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,400
from the other opposite side.
Last one, I like this.

90
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680
This one's probably the least
feasible good object lesson.

91
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,680
I'm going to call it Jumble
Sunday.

92
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,880
Jumble Sunday.
And it's like something we all

93
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,000
get excited for, like, oh, it's,
it's, it's November 17th.

94
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,560
Next Sunday is Jumble Sunday.
It's going to be awesome.

95
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,720
And basically everyone who has a
responsibility gets their name

96
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,240
thrown in a jar.
And it's like, Zach's doing

97
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,600
announcements.
Not today.

98
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,400
It's like Zach is on the piano.
It's like, oh, this would be

99
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,640
crazy.
And we're all just like, excited

100
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,960
for jumbo study.
Oh, yeah, Grammy's preaching.

101
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,440
That's probably not going to
happen.

102
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,400
But it's like, like, make it,
make it fun.

103
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,880
And we're it's like an event.
And then we realize everyone's

104
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,720
got giftings.
Right.

105
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,040
Like it's a that would
definitely show you.

106
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,600
Everyone has certain giftings
and maybe a jumbo Sunday

107
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,640
evening.
Jumbo, that's right where it's

108
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,760
like, oh.
Low.

109
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,480
Pressure Marshall.
Compton's on the Sound like

110
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:47,520
we're gonna see what's gonna
happen.

111
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,280
Like so just a few half baked
ideas.

112
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:52,040
I thought I threw up.
There.

113
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,280
No, those are good.
Those are good, yeah.

114
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,600
So.
I've got a few more.

115
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,080
I'm gonna, I'm gonna save them,
keep them in the oven and maybe,

116
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,440
maybe see them bake a little bit
more.

117
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,160
Yeah.
And I'm just gonna keep, keep

118
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,880
some ideas cuz, you know, maybe
we bring them out one Sunday.

119
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,200
Yeah, Speaking of baking and
ovens, man, are you a Turkey guy

120
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000
or no?
Oh, so I don't like, love, love

121
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,480
Turkey, Yeah.
But I, I, I like Turkey, yeah.

122
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,280
I just watched this skit this
guy does on Man, he's so funny.

123
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:21,200
I don't know his name, but he
does these skits where he

124
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,320
voices, like, different
characters, and they're talking

125
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,880
about Thanksgiving.
And then one of the characters

126
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,240
like, guys, I don't like Turkey.
It's dry.

127
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,040
It's never very good.
Why can't we just do steaks?

128
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,960
And like the other one's like,
yeah, there's always one person

129
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600
in the group that has to let
everyone know they don't like

130
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,120
Turkey.
That's true.

131
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,800
So are you that guy?
I I'm not that.

132
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,520
So I used to be that guy.
I'm going to say I changed.

133
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,800
We started maybe like five years
ago, probably a little bit

134
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,880
longer, like doing the old deep
fry of the Turkey.

135
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,520
Game changer.
It is a game changer.

136
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,360
The other one a lot of work, but
it still gives you that what you

137
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,360
I think what we'll probably
think about as that

138
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,960
quintessential oven roasted
Turkey is brining it the Alton

139
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Brown way.
You know, brine it over and then

140
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,960
don't cook it with.
Don't cook that Turkey stuffed

141
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:17,040
that does nothing but raise your
cooking times and dries out the

142
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,480
meat.
Isn't it a shame when someone's

143
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080
like, I've been cooking this
Turkey for 18 hours and you're

144
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,080
like, it's dry?
That's not going to be good.

145
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:24,640
That's going to be good.
Yeah.

146
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,160
So Alton Brown's, you know, like
you roast it, you broil it at

147
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,280
500 for, I don't know, 15
minutes and it kind of Browns

148
00:06:32,280 --> 00:06:34,640
the skin because you don't want
that slimy skin on there.

149
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,680
Then you cover it up and it
cooks and it's it's faster.

150
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Yeah, I'm always amazed with the
deep fry Turkey.

151
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,680
It like takes longer to like
heat up the oil and like hurt

152
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,160
the.
So it's like, you know, cook it,

153
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,480
cook for 40 minutes or an hour
or whatever it is.

154
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,360
But love it.
So great.

155
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,240
We covered all our bases.
I think so.

156
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,600
So hope you know what are Let us
know what you're eating for

157
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,480
Thanksgiving.
That's true.

158
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,200
This is Thanksgiving Day.
That's what I that's what I

159
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,640
Yeah, that's great.
Well, I'm glad we kept it Baking

160
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,640
related, right?
Turkey related.

161
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,480
Yeah, you don't want your Turkey
half baked.

162
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,920
Well, hopefully we'll be, we'll
keep thankfulness on the mind.

163
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,720
We'll be looking at the Psalms a
little bit today.

164
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:21,800
Let's take it to the next level
from the hearts of the Low

165
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,200
Country in South Carolina.
It's the Take Two podcast, but

166
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,320
we take theology to the next
level.

167
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,280
All right, Zach, you, you're the
viewers may not know.

168
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:38,640
I mean, you're going through a
master's in of for theology,

169
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,360
something like that.
Correct trying trying to, you

170
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,960
know, catch up to all these
other people at A at a

171
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,760
Charleston Bible.
And you're learning about the

172
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,600
pasams working.
On the Pasams we should note

173
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,080
that you know the Psalm.
The book of Psalms is.

174
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,200
Plural.
It's a collection of the Psalms.

175
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,440
So there's there's a Psalm and
then there's another Psalm and

176
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,800
then another Psalm. 150 of them
in our Bible, but different

177
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,600
number for the Hebrew Bible.
But you put all those there,

178
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,440
then you get Psalms.
So if you wanted to go to the

179
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,240
23rd of those, what you would go
to the 23rd Psalm?

180
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,680
Psalm, yeah.
That's great.

181
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840
So someone says Psalms 23, you
should immediately correct.

182
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,560
It's not plural.
It's just one of them out of

183
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,080
there.
Yeah.

184
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,880
Just like there's only one
revelation that was given to

185
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,800
John.
They weren't weren't multiple.

186
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,039
So what what we thought we would
do today is just give a brief

187
00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:36,760
overview, talk about Psalms
'cause I, I don't know about you

188
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Michael, with me, everyone loves
the Psalms.

189
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,160
I was one of those people that
Psalms is not like my go to

190
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,200
because I would rather read
Ephesians or Romans.

191
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,000
You're speaking my language.
Here propositions connected by

192
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,200
Yeah.
That's where I've been and I I

193
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,600
have struggled to make Psalms be
a part of a meaningful way.

194
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,880
And, and especially because I do
this reading program and so I

195
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,120
get huge chunks of Psalms right
in a row.

196
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,560
And then it's like I'm on to
Lamentations and Isaiah, which

197
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,600
can also be difficult to
understand.

198
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,640
But yeah, I would love to camp
in Romans, Ephesians,

199
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,680
Colossians, Philippians, maybe
even John, maybe Timothy, you

200
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:24,560
know, those books or Genesis or
Exodus or first and 2nd Kings,

201
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:28,640
1st and set meal.
But Psalms for me so have been

202
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,800
have been a struggle for me to
really feel like I'm getting a

203
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,840
lot out.
I'm, I'm in the same boat and

204
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,680
I'm not a poetry kind of guy
anyway.

205
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,760
Like I'm not like I'll read a
poem about a dog and I'm like,

206
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,640
oh, it was really cool.
And someone's like, that's a

207
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,560
postmodern critique on feminism.
Like what?

208
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:47,440
So like I don't get the I'm like
nothing means anything because

209
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,800
it's can be taken whatever.
We need Jonathan White back for

210
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,720
that.
Yeah, he probably would not, not

211
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,760
like that comic could steer me,
steer me right.

212
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,040
But what I have found is it
doesn't change everything.

213
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,320
But you know, the Psalms weren't
put together haphazardly.

214
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,840
There is structure.
There are types of Psalms just

215
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:05,800
like there's types of
literature.

216
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,160
I still don't love all the
poetry stuff, but understanding

217
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,160
these things.
Or epic fantasy stuff.

218
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,400
Don't.
Get me?

219
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,840
Yeah, I, I will probably never
come around, but knowing a

220
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,880
little bit of that helps me
think about them, enjoy them a

221
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,040
little more.
I'm still not not there and I'm

222
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,000
learning to enjoy them more, but
learning some of these things

223
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,440
can just make instead of them
just be all over the place.

224
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,240
They say a bunch of things.
David's writing.

225
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,880
It helps me kind of understand
them a little better.

226
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,760
Yeah.
And I started out because of

227
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,040
this deficiency on my part and I
need, I needed to just pick up

228
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,920
the work and complete it.
But I was connecting every Psalm

229
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,960
to a passage so that when you
so, and I was going to write my

230
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,080
own one year reading plan and I
got, you know, that's, it's kind

231
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,760
of typical of me.
Like I'm all in.

232
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,760
I'll do like, I'm going to do
it.

233
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,560
And then something happens and
I, the work pauses and then I

234
00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:57,400
don't go back and pick it up,
But I, I should go back.

235
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,760
I think I'm like around Psalm 80
or something.

236
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,720
That's not bad.
I've, I've done quite a few of

237
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,880
them.
I have to go back 'cause I have

238
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,560
it in a particular Bible at
home.

239
00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:07,320
So I should just, I should just
do that.

240
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,840
I should make that a, you know,
knock that out between now and

241
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,600
Thanksgiving and then and then
publish it, you know.

242
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,800
No, no problem.
Get it done.

243
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,200
That's really, really cool.
So what, we'll kind of zoom out,

244
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,840
big picture, the word Psalm.
It's a really broad term.

245
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,480
There are a lot of different
kinds of songs.

246
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,000
I think when most of us or a lot
of people hear Psalm, they just

247
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,080
think praise and there are a lot
of praises.

248
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,520
There are, yeah.
But it's more broad than than

249
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,800
just just praises really speaks
to type of song to be sung in

250
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,120
public worship, oftentimes
accompanied by instruments.

251
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,920
Something that I think is
helpful.

252
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,760
I think people have questions.
I know I've had a lot of

253
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,360
questions on this in the past.
Those superscripts, are they

254
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,760
inspired?
Are they part of the original

255
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,520
text?
And what's confusing is they'll

256
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,080
be like right under the
translations pericope, which we

257
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,480
know is not part of the text.
So it's good to know they're

258
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,640
different, right?
Right.

259
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,120
And hopefully your Bible makes a
distinction, like it may say

260
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:05,120
like a Psalm of praise or
something like that and like one

261
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,000
type of font, but then you might
see something like a Psalm of

262
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,280
David for the choir director or
something.

263
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,400
Then that's what we're talking
about, not the things that the

264
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,640
translators have added to help
you kind of understand what the

265
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,440
Psalm is for.
And it's good, it's good to know

266
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:24,000
that because one is added in,
you know, 1980 by Crossway or

267
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,200
whatever Lachman and one was
added, you know, some 100 years.

268
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,040
BC Yeah, by David.
So it's good, good to know.

269
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,200
And, and the superscripts give
you a lot of information.

270
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760
They'll say things like it's a
math skill, whatever that is.

271
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,880
But you know, you'll have a
little footnote saying probably

272
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,600
a song of praise or, you know,
whatever.

273
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,200
It'll have all these, you know,
different Hebrew words.

274
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Sometimes we translate what
they'll say meant to be, you

275
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,360
know, accompanied by
instruments.

276
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,640
You'll see these phrases to the
chief musician or choir master.

277
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,760
And it, like you said, Michael,
it'll speak to the author and

278
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,640
maybe we can go over.
David didn't write all the

279
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Psalms.
I know, we know that he didn't.

280
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,360
He didn't really.
I mean, wrote almost half of

281
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,560
them.
And Moses wrote one of them.

282
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,200
That's not even.
It's not found in the book of

283
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,480
Psalm, is it?
Oh, Psalm 90 is Psalm 90 is

284
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,000
Moses.
Yeah.

285
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,560
Yeah.
And then so going back to super.

286
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:14,680
He wrote a song and to
Deuteronomy there's another and

287
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:16,800
that's.
Another that's a argument of,

288
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,640
oh, the superscripts are the
original text because if you go

289
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,320
to Deuteronomy, it'll say a song
of Moses.

290
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,120
It might be like a verse, but
it's like you sing, you know,

291
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,640
there's a song of Miriam or
whatever.

292
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,600
It's very differentiated.
So why would it be different for

293
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,560
the songs?
We got Moses about half 73 for

294
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:37,240
sure, and then we've got Asus.
No, no, David.

295
00:13:37,560 --> 00:13:38,840
Sorry, David.
David, what is it?

296
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,800
Who?
Did I say Moses?

297
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,800
Really derailing the podcast out
of the gate.

298
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Dave Moses we have one Psalm
David 73 ASAP twelve sons of

299
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,320
Korra 11.
We got one from Solomon, Ethan,

300
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,640
the Ezrai is it, I don't know.
Is it Heben?

301
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,880
Herman?
Is it is it human Heben The I

302
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,360
don't know if the Ezraite
Judithin.

303
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:04,240
There's some people that are
like maybe that's an instrument.

304
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:05,400
Maybe that's a person.
I don't know.

305
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,600
Some of this stuff is tough to
see, but it's more broad.

306
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,080
I know David's to go to and if
you're in a bind, you probably

307
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,640
should.
Yes, David, but it's more broad

308
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,120
than that.
Yeah, and we were talking a

309
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,560
little bit before, like Psalm
119.

310
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,320
I've heard people say this is
David.

311
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,840
But with that, there's no,
there's no script that says

312
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,200
that.
There's just the letters of it,

313
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:30,360
and I think I got this from Jack
White that he believes, or maybe

314
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,600
he read someone that thought it
was Daniel.

315
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,160
And I was like, that makes so
much more sense to me 'cause it

316
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,160
seems to fit Daniel's very, you
know, meticulous approach to

317
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,320
stuff.
If he's over there in Babylon

318
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,000
and he wants to teach the Hebrew
letters, you know, here's an

319
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,280
acrostic about God's law and how
we should be faithful to God's

320
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,000
law and love God's law.
It seems to fit.

321
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,600
Yeah, no, that's, that's really
good.

322
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,800
And it unlike it's like it
doesn't say it's by David.

323
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,960
And so many of the Psalms
explicitly say David now that

324
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,520
that's a hard and fast rule, but
that it is very out of character

325
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,880
for David when he compare it to
to the other Psalms.

326
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,920
And then we know this, the
Psalms are Hebrew poetry.

327
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,280
So we should read it that way.
If you've listened to this

328
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,680
podcast, we've talked about
chiasms in the past, Hebrew

329
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,120
poetry known for chiasm, known
for parallelism, where these two

330
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560
or three couplets maybe go
together and really reinforce

331
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,160
some point, maybe using a little
bit different wordage, but very

332
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:22,320
similar.
Right.

333
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,520
And you can kind of get in the
mind of the author there because

334
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,920
they may say something and they
may say something similar, and

335
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,960
really they're saying these are
the same things.

336
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,800
That's good.
And so they let you know, all

337
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,520
right, I'm equating these two
things as being the same.

338
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,720
I I I like that.
So it is very different than

339
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,080
narrative, very different than
epistle.

340
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,440
So that might lend itself to
well, your your favorite thing

341
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,320
or not your favorite thing, but
some of these things, I think,

342
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,080
think help to further give some
structure.

343
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,040
When you think of the Psalms
overviewed, you might know this,

344
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,720
you might not this the Psalm,
the Psalter is made-up of five

345
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,160
different books.
And and we see, you know, book

346
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,120
one, book 2.
If you look at the end of each

347
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,560
book, there's a doxology that'll
say like, blessed be the Lord

348
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,000
now and forever, Amen and Amen
almost at each of these

349
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,240
sections.
So there's there's a definite

350
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,960
structure and pattern that's
that's thrown in there, which is

351
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,840
is pretty interesting.
You know, that's good.

352
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,160
And then I mentioned our
numbering is off.

353
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,880
I know like the Hebrew Scripture
has Psalm one and two as

354
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,920
basically 1 Psalm and they treat
it as an intro that's right

355
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,240
maybe to the whole book of
Psalms.

356
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,840
And then some people say no,
it's just an intro to book 1 of

357
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,960
Psalms.
But I think it really is an

358
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720
intro to the whole book.
But, you know, read Psalm 1,

359
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280
read Psalm 2.
You'll see how those kind of

360
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,560
stand apart from a lot of the
other Psalms.

361
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,760
They are kind of broader in
scope.

362
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,840
No, I, I like that a lot.
You see, most of David's Psalms

363
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,680
basically are in book 1 and book
2, then kind of kind of phases

364
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,400
out.
This isn't end all be all, but

365
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,520
if you go to look in the air,
Robert Godfrey's one of one of

366
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,280
their teachers there.
And some Psalms really point to

367
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,080
to a king, right?
He kind of has all these books

368
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,720
pointing to a king, with book
one being the King's confidence

369
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,680
and God's care, Book 2 being the
King's commitment to God's

370
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,640
Kingdom, book three being the
King's crisis over God's

371
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,440
promises, and book 3 we see some
darker Psalms a little bit here

372
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:18,960
and there.
They're kind of anticipation of

373
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,000
this exile coming up Book 4, the
King's comfort in God's

374
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,400
faithfulness.
It's almost like they're in

375
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,800
exile.
And we see some comforting

376
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,160
Psalms in Book 5.
If you don't know a lot about

377
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,720
Psalms, if you were in a worship
service this morning, we kind of

378
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,160
hung out at the end for at least
one part.

379
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,200
You can see like all, if you've
read like the last four or five

380
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,920
Psalms, they look very, very
similar.

381
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,400
A lot of them are short and it's
all just Hallelujah and praise

382
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,960
and it just ends in celebration.
It kind of culminates where you

383
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,080
kind of see there's this intro
and there's this pattern.

384
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,920
There's, you know, up and down
points, but it's not just

385
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,320
haphazardly thrown together.
No, that's great.

386
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,040
I like Psalm 150, which is what
we read this morning for

387
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,040
worship.
And it just has all these

388
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,960
different things like coming
together from different

389
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,640
instruments coming together
different, you know, motivations

390
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,320
for coming together to all
praise God for who he is.

391
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,320
It's I think it's a great
motivator to me at least I hope.

392
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,720
I hope other people do.
I didn't, I didn't know I was

393
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,040
going to get a little emotional
reading it, but I did so

394
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,120
hopefully spoke to other people.
It's.

395
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,560
A great just way to, to finish,
finish that book.

396
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,600
And before we get into a couple
psalms, we'll talk about the

397
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,760
different types of psalms 'cause
it's, it's a wide, wide array.

398
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,160
And like I said, we think of
psalms.

399
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,000
We just think of maybe when you
hear the word happy praises, the

400
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,040
most common type of Psalm is a
lament or complaints makes up

401
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:39,160
about 1/3 of the book.
About 50 psalms are complaints

402
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,960
or laments, which some people
might say, Oh yeah, I read the

403
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:42,880
psalms everyday.
I know this.

404
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,640
Some might be like, oh, I read,
I know Psalm 1 and 23 and 119

405
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,480
and you know what I mean?
Yeah, so Psalm 22, kind of the

406
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,080
famous one of Jesus on the cross
while God, you know, my God, my

407
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,960
God, why have you forsaken me?
That would be one of the

408
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,040
laments, but also Messianic.
Yeah, that that's good that

409
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,360
that's these classifications are
tough because some like bleed

410
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:04,960
over.
There's different ways prophecy,

411
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,080
messianic.
A lot of them are kingly really.

412
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,440
Some of the the big ones are
laments complaint.

413
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,040
Another one is a hymn that's
that's basically a, a more

414
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,800
simple Psalm that's a song of
praise.

415
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,320
And these usually do have that
chiastic structure.

416
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,680
This, this big X is what it
looks like.

417
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:26,280
The English letter X is chi
where it starts off with praise.

418
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,280
Then in the middle, the heart of
the Psalm is the reason why we

419
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,720
should praise God.
And then it ends with another

420
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,800
call to praise.
You can find at the center.

421
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,200
It's not like what we write
where we kind of write the main

422
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,320
point at the end.
It's like they kind of push

423
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,520
towards it in the very middle of
the Psalm.

424
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,160
We see a lot of those, and those
are hymns.

425
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
All right, so you got hymns We
got, We talked about laments and

426
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
complaints, songs of
Thanksgiving.

427
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,280
Aren't those just hymns?
Aren't those the same thing?

428
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,720
You look at it and you're like,
yeah, they, they seem really

429
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,000
similar, but they're not.
And, and, and the major way is

430
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,560
instead of a hymn where the goal
is to simply praise God, a song

431
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,360
of Thanksgiving is, is giving
things.

432
00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,680
It's almost like testimony might
be a better word where you're

433
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,360
recounting the wondrous steeds
of the Lord.

434
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,720
You're saying praise God.
And here's why.

435
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,920
And I'm going to kind of develop
that verses just saying praise

436
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,240
God because he's God.
Praise God because he redeemed

437
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,520
me from the pit.
Or you know these different.

438
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:22,760
Things yeah, I think 136 might
be one of those where it has,

439
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,280
you know, it lists all the it's
like very repetitive.

440
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,920
Good thanks to the Lord for he
is good for his loving kindness

441
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,280
is everlasting.
Good thanks to the Lord the God

442
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,160
of gods for his loving kindness.
For you know that that was one

443
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,720
that I like, that was a favorite
of ours to memorize because half

444
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,400
of it is that repeated verse,
you know, so you just got to

445
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,560
remember.
You know those points because

446
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,200
you got like a, you got like a
point or like a dot.

447
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,360
Or yeah, they counted.
They counted the number of

448
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:48,440
verses, so yeah.
Another big category you might

449
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,200
run into is a royal Psalm that
focus on God and the king.

450
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,640
Psalm 2, you know, kiss the ring
or the nation's rage.

451
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,360
You know, we see God is God over
the nations.

452
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,840
And then Psalm 110, this Psalm
we see quoted a lot in the New

453
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,560
Testament.
My Lord said to my Lord, the

454
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,200
Lord said to my Lord, this, you
know, also, you know, prophecy,

455
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,440
prophecy, Psalm messianic, but
it's a song.

456
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:11,960
A royal Psalm talks a lot about
the king.

457
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,040
We see a lot of those, and then
additionally people say

458
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,920
different things.
There's wisdom psalms, psalms of

459
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,320
confidence, Torah psalms like
Psalm 19119.

460
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,400
It's a weird Psalm.
It's not like any of the other.

461
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,840
Psalms, yeah, yeah, it does
stick out.

462
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,600
So it may not fit in nicely into
one of the categories that we

463
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,080
have there.
So that that's an overview and

464
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,560
even knowing like having a, a
guide, looking up what kind of

465
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,280
Psalm is this to just kind of
help these structures aren't

466
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,600
totally uniform, but it kind of
gives you an idea of what you're

467
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,880
going to be reading.
So that's a big overview.

468
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,040
And with Thanksgiving around the
corner, maybe we would.

469
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,840
Maybe we can look at a Psalm
that's a hymn and a Psalm

470
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,400
that's.
When people hear this is it is

471
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,520
Thanksgiving as we come back
with since today is

472
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,120
Thanksgiving.
Since today is Thanksgiving,

473
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:56,200
we'll look at a hymn and a Psalm
of Thanksgiving so we can kind

474
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,520
of, you can see how they're
different, how the same.

475
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,040
And I think at least Psalm 100's
probably familiar with most of

476
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,640
us.
This is the one about tennis,

477
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,600
right?
Tennis.

478
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,040
Yeah, enter his courts with
praise.

479
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,520
There it is.
I knew, saw those guys.

480
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,400
That's.
Good, that's good.

481
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,000
So you want me to?
Read Psalm 100.

482
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,640
Right, and this is probably ESV,
right?

483
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,680
These are your notes.
No, that's good, That's good.

484
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,720
That's right.
Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise to

485
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,440
the Lord, and that is Yahweh,
all the earth.

486
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,240
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come into His presence with

487
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,600
singing.
Know that the Lord, He is God.

488
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,760
It is He who made us, and we are
His.

489
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:42,920
We are His people, and the sheep
of His pasture.

490
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,440
Enter his gates with
Thanksgiving, and His courts

491
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,640
with praise.
Give thanks to Him.

492
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:55,720
Bless His name, for the Lord is
good, His steadfast love endures

493
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,040
forever and His faithfulness to
all generations.

494
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,120
Thank you, Michael, and I would
encourage you take out your

495
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:05,200
phone like your Bible app.
Look at it because this is a

496
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,720
great example of a chiasm.
You see verse one it says make a

497
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,800
joyful noise to the Lord, then
it says all the earth and verse

498
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,320
5 it says the Lord is good and
kind of ends with his

499
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,760
faithfulness to all generations.
So you have geography, every

500
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,760
part of geography.
Then you have all of time kind

501
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,240
of bookending this Psalm as you
work your way inward.

502
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,880
You have served the Lord with
gladness.

503
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,640
That's kind of paired with give
thanks to him.

504
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,000
That's not maybe as clear, but
when you go in one more, you see

505
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,840
enter his gates and come into
his presence.

506
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,320
Those clearly parallel each
other.

507
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,680
We kind of come to the middle.
The point of it is know that the

508
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,400
Lord he is God, he's creator, he
made us, we're his people, the

509
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,040
sheep, he's the shepherd, we're
sheep of his pasture.

510
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,600
It all kind of culminates.
That's the that's the main

511
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,120
point.
And if that weren't, you know,

512
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:53,680
clear enough, we see like you
mentioned, Yahweh, this Lord in

513
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,280
in all caps here is mentioned
four times and then pronouns

514
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,720
another like 12 * 16 times out
of the 42 words.

515
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,080
That's a lot.
It's it's referring to God.

516
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,920
And that whole focus is that the
Lord he has gotten.

517
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,480
Yeah.
That's great and man, this is a

518
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,640
a common Psalm to memorize and
so pick pick your favorite

519
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,800
translation, memorize it.
Maybe read this around the

520
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,120
dinner table for Thanksgiving,
maybe go over some things that

521
00:24:23,120 --> 00:24:25,920
you have thankful for.
But the the key thing, like you

522
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,360
said, verse 3, this nugget
that's in the middle.

523
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,680
He's God.
We are his people and we're of

524
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,760
his pasture.
I like that a lot.

525
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,960
So that that's a hymn.
Psalm 116.

526
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,000
This is a Psalm of Thanksgiving.
And you'll notice off the bat,

527
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,360
most of the time psalms, psalms
of Thanksgiving are just going

528
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:45,920
to be longer because they are
recounting more.

529
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,400
So maybe we can take it section
by section.

530
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,360
I'll go ahead and read this
first section the way I've got

531
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,560
it.
I don't know if it's clear in in

532
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,160
the notes, Michael, but early
Section 1 little intro is verses

533
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,080
one through 2 and then we look
at verses 3 through 11.

534
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,560
It's kind of the next section.
So I'll read the first one, talk

535
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,680
about the week, and then maybe
I'll take a.

536
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,840
Two, I'll do three through 11.
That's that's something.

537
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,280
See what I did there?
It's Psalm 116 starts and

538
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,520
verses.
One and two I'm reading through

539
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:21,600
11 or 17.
You'll do three through 11.

540
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,920
That's like a next section.
I didn't really delineate very

541
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,840
good.
And then I'll do 12 through

542
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,760
wherever but Psalm 116 one and
two kind of serves as the

543
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:34,880
introduction.
It says I love the Lord, I love

544
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,360
Yahweh.
I am because he has heard my

545
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:40,960
voice and my pleas for mercy
because he inclined his ear to

546
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,360
me.
Therefore I will call on him as

547
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:45,080
long as I live.
So you kind of already struck to

548
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,400
see there is a reason he's
testifying as to why so he's

549
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,080
appealing to Yahweh.
They almost every Psalm thinks

550
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,960
he's going to do this and it
starts by calling on the Lord

551
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,120
and then going over, you know
what, what are we recounting

552
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:02,200
these kind of things three
through 11.

553
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,360
Verse three starts with the
snares of death encompass me.

554
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,640
The pangs of sheo laid hold on
me.

555
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,720
I suffered distress and anguish.
Then I called on the name of the

556
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,640
Lord.
O Lord, I pray deliver my soul.

557
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,320
Gracious is the Lord, and
righteous Our God is merciful.

558
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:28,040
The Lord preserves the simple.
When I was brought low, He saved

559
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,240
me.
Return, O my soul, to your rest,

560
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,600
for the Lord has dealt
bountifully with you.

561
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,880
For you have delivered my soul
from death, my ears from tears,

562
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,560
my feet from stumbling.
I will walk before the Lord in

563
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:49,080
the land of the living.
I believed even when I spoke.

564
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,920
I am greatly afflicted, I said
in my alarm.

565
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,280
All mankind are liars.
So when what you read, we saw

566
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:01,880
that really bad situation and in
God's goodness kind of saved the

567
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,920
psalmist from all these bad
things, this suffering, this

568
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,080
distress, this anguish, and he's
just kind of recounting that

569
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,080
over and over and over.
Do scholars think this little

570
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,240
section is a chiasm?
Because this guy starts with his

571
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,280
afflictions, ends with his
afflictions.

572
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,920
In the middle there's a saving
of, you know, kind of the

573
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,760
saving.
Of that up, but I think I think

574
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,720
you're probably right.
And this is like stanza one

575
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,680
that's like within the stanza
there's a chiasm or something

576
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,440
like that.
Then we kind of shift.

577
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,760
I'm going to read 12 through 18.
The psalmist continues on.

578
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,760
What shall I render to the Lord?
For all his benefits to me?

579
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:39,160
I will lift up the cup of
salvation and call on the name

580
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,640
of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord

581
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,360
in the presence of all his
people.

582
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Precious in the sight of the
Lord is the death of the Saints.

583
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,200
O Lord, I am your servants.
I am your servant, the son of

584
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,440
your maidservant.
You have loosed my bonds.

585
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,280
I will offer to you the
sacrifice of Thanksgiving and

586
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,760
call on the name of the Lord.
I will pay my vows to the Lord

587
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,640
in the presence of all his
people.

588
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,160
And so I think some here would
call this like the second,

589
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:11,120
second stanza here where there's
an expression of worship, love,

590
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,560
and you notice it's like
Yahweh's every single time, very

591
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,280
personal to Yahweh for for what
he's done.

592
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,680
And then the concluding verse
will be verse 19.

593
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,160
I'll kick it to you, Michael.
Says In the courts of the House

594
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:29,480
of the Lord in your midst, O
Jerusalem, praise the Lord, or

595
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,200
praise Yahweh.
That, that, that's great kind of

596
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,640
ending with this praise.
And so you can see how they

597
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,360
hymns and Thanksgiving very
similar.

598
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:40,160
But there is a distinction where
kind of goes on where when I

599
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,080
think of Thanksgiving, sometimes
I can think of it as just giving

600
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,000
thanks in English.
But I think in Hebrew, when we

601
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,120
see this kind of word, it's like
people are like you said, like

602
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,000
it'd be like standing up at the
dinner table and saying This is

603
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,760
why.
Let me give you reason after,

604
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:52,880
reason after.
Reason.

605
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,480
No, I think that's good.
There's this book that I read

606
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,680
and I'm just seeing some overlay
between them.

607
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,840
There's language.
It's a great book about, you

608
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,160
know, leadership in the office
place and in the workplace.

609
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,320
But I mean, it could be like in
in a church.

610
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,680
But he was recommending not just
telling people, oh, you did a

611
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,280
good job.
Because when I like if I tell

612
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,360
you you did a good job, it kind
of almost puts me in a place

613
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,000
where I get to say I'm the judge
of your work.

614
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,160
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

615
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,720
But that.
A better way to make people feel

616
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:24,640
more like you really understand
what they're doing is to say,

617
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,120
you know, I'll, you know, I'll
just role play with you.

618
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,240
Like Zach, man, I see you
interacting with the college and

619
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,600
career folks and teaching that,
and I see them, you know, really

620
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,480
responding to what you do.
But yet, you know, you're you're

621
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,120
coaching soccer and they're
successful.

622
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,440
They're so like you really kind
of kind of narrate what they're

623
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,200
doing.
And they're like, man, when you

624
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,400
do that for someone, it makes
them feel much more appreciated

625
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,000
than just, oh, you did a good
job.

626
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,680
Yeah, that's good.
Specifics so lesser to the

627
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,680
greater.
Here it's like this is what

628
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,320
these psalms of Thanksgiving are
doing, like they are narrating

629
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,640
the things that God has done on
behalf of us or them or or all

630
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,680
people.
No, that that's good and you

631
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,120
think of.
Our own lives, there's probably

632
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,040
plenty of times where it's
totally maybe not sufficient,

633
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,880
but God, you are so good.
Thank you for this.

634
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,440
And then other times you just
need to sit down and say you're

635
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,440
good because, and I'm going to,
I got the time.

636
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,640
I'm, you know, going to recount
these things.

637
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,040
And both of those are good.
But yeah, I like that the

638
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,880
specifics, specifics means
something and that's that's

639
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,800
something to hold onto.
Like God is good.

640
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,000
Like what's that mean?
We can really latch onto some

641
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,080
some situations.
So that that's great.

642
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,480
That's a brief overview.
I was thinking probably not in

643
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,640
the too terrible future, but
maybe soon we'll we'll bring it

644
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,920
down the hammer with the
imprecatory Psalms something,

645
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:42,480
you know.
Yeah.

646
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,320
So we were saying, like, if you
know, you can like, chat us, you

647
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,640
know, I think you can do a paid
for comment on YouTube.

648
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,320
So send us a paid for comment of
who you need us to pray in a

649
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,120
preparatory Psalm for.
That's all in jest.

650
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,040
That's all in jest this season.
But no, Yeah, it's all good.

651
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,960
Love it.
Be thankful this Thanksgiving.

652
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,080
A lot of things to be thankful
for.

653
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,120
Get get into Psalms.
I hope, hope you're.

654
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,720
I hope we didn't catch you late.
Hopefully you did brine your

655
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,200
Turkey.
Yeah.

656
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,920
Hopefully you did brine your
Turkey and you know, it's never

657
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:17,080
too late to be, to be thankful.
So if you watch this or or hear

658
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,960

really do that on Thanksgiving.
