| 0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
| 0:11.2 | Today we approach the end of David's life, so we're beginning to take a look back at all the many |
| 0:15.9 | ways God has worked in his life through all the ups and downs. David's doing this too in song form. His song in |
| 0:22.5 | chapter 22 bears a lot of similarity to Psalm 18, which we read on day 109. So here's a reminder of |
| 0:28.6 | what we talked about on that day. This song is a testament to the goodness of God through all of David's |
| 0:33.9 | trials. He makes a lot of claims about his righteousness here, but if we look |
| 0:37.7 | closely, we see that he describes his righteousness as being a gift from God. It is God who |
| 0:43.8 | makes his way blameless. He continues to point to God as the source of all these good things. |
| 0:49.1 | God is the one who equips him, delivers him, and protects him. David recognizes that this all |
| 0:53.7 | starts with God. He is the source of all the good things we have and, and protects him. David recognizes that this all starts with God. He is the |
| 0:55.5 | source of all the good things we have and offer back to him. The heading of Chapter 23 in my Bible |
| 1:01.7 | says, The Last Words of David. But don't worry, there's still more of David yet to come in this |
| 1:06.6 | book as well as in a couple other books. He's not dead yet. David begins by identifying himself |
| 1:12.4 | humbly as the son of Jesse. And then he identifies the ways that God has exalted the lowly |
| 1:18.3 | by raising him up and anointing him. Not only that, but God speaks to him and through him, and he serves as a |
| 1:25.1 | prophet to Israel, not just a king. God is like sunlight and rain |
| 1:30.2 | bringing life and light to David as he rules by the fear of God, in stark contrast to Saul, |
| 1:37.0 | who ruled by the fear of man. God made a covenant with David, and he continues to deal with David |
| 1:42.4 | according to that covenant. It hasn't changed, |
| 1:45.7 | and everything that has transpired in David's life has been a fixed part of God's precise, |
| 1:50.8 | unshakable plan. In verse 6, he refers to worthless men, which can be translated, |
| 1:57.3 | Men of Belial or Sons of the Devil. He says they're like thorns that will be burned up. |
