0:00.0	Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.
0:07.0	Today we read seven Psalms that all fall into a category known as the Psalms of
0:17.0	Assent. There are 15 Psalms in this category and they span Psalm 120 through 134.
0:22.1	But before we dig into today's individual

1:16.0	It points out all the ways Yawe is superior to the pagan gods of the day.
1:20.4	David praises God for being his stability in all times, day and night.
1:25.0	He's a God who is never tired or distracted, unlike the pagan gods of the day who require sleep and are reported to return to the underworld at night.
1:33.0	This tireless, undistracted God would be comforting to people who are sleeping along the
1:37.6	highways as they travel to Jerusalem.
