| 0:00.0 | He will deliver the afflicted who have no one to help. |
| 0:05.4 | Psalm 72.12. |
| 0:08.4 | Welcome to today's encouragement from our daily bread. |
| 0:12.6 | Joining God to help was written and read by Wyn Collier. |
| 0:24.8 | Psalm 72, verses 12 to 14. |
| 0:32.0 | For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. |

| 1:56.1 | who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help. And remarkably, one way God's help arrives is through |
| 2:04.6 | us. Psalm 72 refers to both King Solomon's work and God's work. And it's not always easy to |
| 2:14.9 | disentangle which is which. |
