0:00.0 | Hey Bible Readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Our first chapter for today, Psalm 65, was probably written as praise for a feast or harvest time. |
0:20.0 | David starts out by saying praise is due to God in Zion, which as you may recall is another way of referring to Jerusalem. |
0:26.5 | Since Mount Zion is the highest peak in Jerusalem, the two names are often used interchangeably. |
0:31.7 | And they're also both used to refer to the nation and the people of Israel as a whole. |
0:37.0 | I love this Psalm. Every line is so rich and dense. |
0:42.0 | I think there's something really beautiful about the way |

1:21.0 | In Psalm 66, David praises God for the ways he triumphs |
1:25.9 | over his enemies and for protecting his people. David has a God-honoring view of |
1:30.7 | the trials he has been through, and he's able to praise God even for the hardships. |
1:35.2 | We see it in verses 10 through 12 especially. |
1:37.8 | He says, For you, oh God, have tested us. |
1:41.4 | You have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net. You laid a |
