0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:12.5	Today we read more of the songs David wrote in response to what he's been going through
0:16.2	since Samuel privately anointed him as king.
0:19.2	You'd think it would be a much easier path for those who
0:21.3	were chosen to be royalty, but David's life has only gotten tougher. We started today with Psalm 17.
0:27.8	I don't know about you, but I had a hard time with verse one where he claims his lips are free from
0:32.1	deceit. I can't help but think of his pattern of lying to Akish, even though that may have been
0:37.4	considered acceptable by wartime standards. Either way, it's probably... I can't help but think of his pattern of lying to Akish, even though that may have been considered
0:37.8	acceptable by wartime standards. Either way, it's probably important to note that in this Psalm,
0:44.0	David isn't saying he's morally perfect, but that he's innocent of the things he's been accused of
0:48.7	by Saul and perhaps others. In this instance, Saul is the liar. David trusts that God will come to his rescue and even

1:08.6	with Nabal and twice with Saul. Verse 10 in particular
1:12.3	reminded me of David's encounter with Nabil. It says, they close their hearts to pity,
1:17.8	with their mouths they speak arrogantly. In verse 14, David affirms that worldly men often see
1:24.5	benefits on this earth, and both Saul and Nabal certainly did. But it's all
1:29.2	they'll get. They have no eternal treasure. David knows that being in the presence of the Lord is the
1:34.9	only place where true fulfillment exists. In Psalm 35, David's prayers take a military turn. He uses
1:41.8	battle imagery. Some of it literal and some of it spiritual and some of it
1:45.5	may even be both. For instance, he asks the father to send the angel of the Lord to his rescue.
1:51.4	As we've talked about before, the angel of the Lord is often a reference to God the Son before he
