0:00.0	We all would like to think that we know where we are going and how to get there.
0:13.0	But at every stage in life, we need divine direction. God has promised to guide us if we simply follow.
0:20.0	The fifth and final section of Psalms are referred to as Deuteronomy Psalms because they remind
0:25.6	us to keep returning to the truth of God's Word.
0:29.6	Join us as we study them with Scott Pauli today. God has always designed it so that what brings him the greatest glory also brings us the greatest good.
0:52.0	From the very beginning, the Lord desired to be lifted up and magnified
0:56.5	and at the same time to bless us. Psalm 112 reveals that truth about God's relationship with man.
1:04.2	Listen to the beginning of it. Verse one, praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. Do you hear it?
1:15.2	Praise goes to the Lord, blessing goes to the man. Look, the credit for any good thing in our lives

1:59.9	verses long but what you may not know
2:01.7	is that in the language of the Psalmist Day, the Hebrew language, these were what has been referred to as
2:07.1	alphabetic Psalms. I mean by that, that each clause in each of these Psalms began with a different
2:14.4	letter of the Hebrew alphabet, like an acrostick. When we come to Psalm 119 shortly, we'll see that in an even more elaborate form.
2:24.0	But here in Psalm 11 and Psalm 112, it is as if the psalmist is just going from A to Z
2:29.8	or from beginning to end thinking about how great God is and how good the life is that is given to God.
2:38.5	Psalm 112, the Psalm for today, really is a Psalm that brings our attention to the life of the man who has God in his rightful place.
2:48.2	It is a blessed life. Did you hear it? Blessed is the man. Remember, that's
