Alright, Psalm 9 and verse 1
says, I will praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart. I will show
forth all Thy marvelous works. You know, the sinner who's been
saved by the grace of God, God has filled our hearts with joy. He's given us a heart filled
with gladness. Our gospel is a gospel of good
news. It's a gospel of rejoicing. It's
a gospel of glad tidings, this gospel that we believe. He's
put a song in our hearts. He's put a new tune on our tongues
and we sing with delight in our hearts for Him. Now the one we
praise, it says here in verse 1, I will praise Thee, O Lord. Every mention of praise in the
Scriptures, every mention throughout the Psalms of praise is to the
Lord, to Him only. I will praise the Lord. I will
praise Thee, O Lord. Let me read Psalm 145 verse 3
to you. Great is the Lord. and greatly to be praised, and
His greatness is unsearchable." Great is the Lord, and greatly
to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. We praise, this
one we're praising is God, the true and living God of heaven
and earth. God, this one God, manifests
in three distinct persons. God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Holy Spirit. It manifests in that one we worship,
the Lord Jesus Christ. In Him dwells all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily. And we're complete in Him. Then
look, he says here, now that's who we worship. We worship the
Lord only. We will praise Thee, O Lord.
Here's the nature of our praise. Look there in verse 1. I will
praise Thee, O Lord, with my whole heart." With my whole heart. God does nothing in half steps,
and He takes nothing in half steps. You'll be worshiped with
the whole heart. With the whole heart. Not half
a heart, the whole heart. That new heart that the Spirit
of God gives in the new birth, that's the whole heart. That's
the heart that's been made whole. It's been made W-H-O-L-E. The heart that's been made W-H-O-L-E
is H-O-L-Y. It's holy. It's whole. It's whole. And that's when we worship Him. I will, He says there, I will. The dead sinner has no desire
whatsoever, no willingness whatsoever to worship the Lord, to praise
Him. He has no willingness. Thy people
shall be willing in the day of thy power. It's God who works
this willingness in the heart of His people, working that which
is well-pleasing in His sight in His people. Until then, we
don't have that willingness. And he says here, I worship with
the whole heart. Look at Jeremiah 24, verse 7. Find out where that heart comes
from and we'll find out what the treasure, what the abundance
of that heart is. The Lord said, Out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaks. An evil man, out of the evil
treasure of his heart, brings forth evil things. A good man,
out of the treasure of his heart, he brings forth good things.
Two different kinds of men. One evil, one good. Two different
kinds of treasures. One's a evil treasure, one's
a good treasure. Two different kinds of things
coming out of their mouths. One, the evil man's gonna speak
of evil things. He's gonna talk about himself,
what I've done, what we've done, what this, me, me, me, me, me,
I, I, I, I, I. The man who's been given a new
heart's gonna praise the Lord. Look, we'll find out where that
heart comes from. Look here, Jeremiah 24, 7. He
says, he says, will give. I will give. I will give them a heart. I will
give them a heart to know Me, the Lord said, that I am the
Lord. I will give them. I will give
them a heart. I will give them a heart to know
Me, that I am the Lord, and they shall be My people, and I will
be their God, for they shall return unto Me with what? with
their whole heart, with their whole heart. That's when we'll
praise Him with the whole heart is when He's given us a whole
heart, a new heart to praise Him. Alright, now look back in
our text, Psalm 9-1. What do we praise the Lord for?
Verse 1. I will show forth all thy marvelous
works. All thy marvelous works. The
other day I saw this commercial, a local commercial for a car
dealership. It had somebody standing in the
showroom by a brand new, I forget now what kind of car it was,
brand new car though on this showroom floor, all shiny and
bright, you know. And they were just, the person
talking was just going to town talking about this nice car,
you know, and how all the bells and whistles on it. Well, when
they filmed this commercial that day outside, it was snowing. I mean, big old giant white flakes
coming down and the ground was covered in snow. And I couldn't
look at that car and hear what the person was saying for just
looking at how beautiful that was, that was falling out of
the sky out there. And I thought, when we see the
beautiful handiwork and the work of God's hand, that He's performed,
we'll stop looking at the work of man's hand, no matter how
shiny and bright and new and no matter how it smells like
the new car smell, and we'll stop listening to what men have
to say and we'll look at His mighty works and glory in His
marvelous works. Now this is what I want you to
see tonight when God makes a sinner to see the marvelous works of
God's salvation. has been accomplished by Christ
Jesus, we stop speaking about anything in us worthy of being
praised. And we praise His name and His
marvelous works. Now, truly, if we're really going
to enter into this tonight, we have to remember what we've been
remembering as we go through the Psalms. The Psalms, they
are the experiences of David. He was used of God the Holy Spirit
to pen these Psalms. But these Psalms are the words
of the son of David, Christ our King. And we're going to see,
he said, I will sing of thy name in the great congregation." Hebrews
2 tells us that applies to the Lord Jesus Christ. He said that
in Psalm 22, and Hebrews 2 says that's of Christ. He's the one
that's singing. He's the one who has the perfect
heart, who sings of His marvelous works. So let's hear this sweet
psalmist of Israel sing, and here's how we can enter into
what he's saying. Because the marvelous works that
Christ did, he did for the elect of God. So that what he accomplished
by his works, we accomplished in him by what he did. And what
he rejoices in is what we rejoice in. Because what's so of him
is so of his people. So let's see here now. I want
to show you five things that are borne out in this scripture,
this psalm, that we rejoice in. Here's the first thing. It's
the first marvelous work we rejoice in. We rejoice in His presence. We rejoice in the marvelous work
resulting from God's presence. Look at verse 3. He said, When
mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at
thy presence. Look with me over at John chapter
18. John chapter 18. You remember whenever the Lord's
enemies came to arrest Him in the garden. And the Lord asked
them who it was they sought. And when He had come from the
garden of Gethsemane, He asked them who it was they sought,
and they said, we seek Jesus of Nazareth. And look at verse
6. And he, or verse five, and Jesus
said unto them, I am. He said, I am. That's the name
of our God, the great I am. And that's who he is. He's got
the fullness of the Godhead shine. When he said I am, the fullness
of the Godhead shine through in brilliance before those men.
The presence of Almighty God, the triune God, shined forth
from this great I Am. And when that glorious presence
shined forth, this is what happened. It says, verse 6, as soon as
then as He had said unto them, I Am, they went backward and
fell to the ground. Look back at the text. He said,
when mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish
at thy presence. Christ is God our Savior. I want
every believer to listen to this. He's promised this. He will never
leave you nor forsake you. That's what the Lord Jesus Christ
has promised His people. Now, as your enemies come round
about and they try to to do anything to us, see in this one who's
showing us he's God, our Savior. And we see him delighting in
the presence of God with him continually when he walked this
earth. So that we know he's gonna dwell with his people and his
presence will be with his people. And you see what his presence
is able to do. His presence is able to make
his enemies fall back. Psalm 68, look over there. Look
over there with me. This is his intercession for
his people. Psalm 68 verse 2. As smoke is driven away, so drive
away the enemy. As wax melteth before the fire,
so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the
righteous be glad and let them rejoice before God. Yea, let
them exceedingly rejoice. And that's what our Lord's going
to do. We rejoice in this marvelous work. His presence is with His
people. That's what He's promised us.
And that's what He'll do. And here's the second thing.
Secondly, in Psalm 9, it says we rejoice here over His maintenance. His maintenance. We rejoice in
the marvelous work of God's faithful and just maintenance of our right
and our cause. Look at verse 4. He says, For
thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sattest in
the throne, judging right. Whenever Christ Jesus walked
this earth, God the Father justly fulfilled, faithfully fulfilled
all covenant engagements that He had made to His Son when He
walked this earth. He spoke from heaven and He glorified
Him, not once, not twice, He did it repeatedly, spoke from
heaven and glorified Him. He walked it when our Savior
walked this earth as the righteous servant of God. The Lord God
supported the manhood of Christ when He walked this earth in
the face of all His enemies. And we see God's faithfulness
by that in the fidelity of God towards His Christ, the fidelity
of God towards Christ. And at the same time, we see
the fidelity of God in Christ fulfilling all the covenant engagements
on behalf of His elect people as a man toward God. So you've
got God fulfilling all the engagements of God's side of the covenant
And you've got the God-man Christ Jesus fulfilling all the covenant
engagements for His people. And we see faithfulness right
there. How many times do we see in Scripture, He went to this
place and that and they sought to lay hands on Him. And He just
went right out of the midst of them because it wasn't, they
couldn't touch Him, they couldn't do anything to Him. And that's
what He, God will maintain. our right and our cause. He will
maintain our right and our cause. He's faithful and just. If we
turn from Christ and turn out of the way, He's faithful and
just to correct us, to chasten us, to keep us trusting Christ
alone. And by that, He maintains our right. He maintains our cause. And He's faithful and just as
we go through this life to maintain our right and our cause. What's
our right? What is our right? Our right is Christ. He is our right. He's our righteousness
is Christ Jesus. He's our right to the Father.
He's our righteousness to approach unto God. And Romans 8 says there's
absolutely nothing that is able to separate the love of God for
his people in Christ Jesus. Nothing can sever that. He'll
maintain our right. And what's our cause? What are
we here for? What was Christ here for? We're
listening to the Redeemer sing of his praises. What was Christ
here for? He was here to glorify God. He was here to shed forth
this glorious good news of the Father and His faithfulness and
His justice and His mercy in redeeming His people. That was
His cause for being here. And God the Father faithfully
maintained His right and His cause as He walked this earth.
And our cause is we're here to set forth Christ in whom God's
glory is set forth. Do you think God's not going
to maintain our cause in this earth? He will. That's what Christ says. I'm
singing this to you, brethren. Our Lord Jesus Christ said, I'll
sing this in the midst of my brethren. He showed it to us
when He walked this earth. And He's declaring it through
this word to us that He will maintain our right and our cause.
That's the second thing. First thing is He's going to
His presence we rejoice in. The second thing is we rejoice
in the marvelous work of His maintenance of our right and
our cause. Here's the third thing. We rejoice that our Redeemer
has destroyed our enemies at the cross. They're destroyed. Look at verse 5. Thou hast rebuked
the heathen. Thou hast destroyed the wicked.
You see how this is in past tense. It gradually moves from present
tense to past tense. There's a marked change going
on as we progress through this psalm. Thou hast rebuked the
heathen. Thou hast destroyed the wicked.
Thou hast put out their name forever and ever. O thou enemy,
destructions are come to a perpetual end. and thou hast destroyed
cities, their memorial is perished with them." It's done. How did
that happen? When did that happen? It happened
by His blood. It happened on the cross when
He went to the cross and laid down His life for His people.
Christ has defeated Satan, thou enemy, thou enemy. That was what
we saw last week in Genesis 3. The seed of woman came forth
and Satan bruised his heel on Calvary's cross. But in the process,
Christ crushed his head. Thou enemy, thou enemy. Thou hast come to a perpetual
end, and your destructions have. He destroyed sin, death, hell,
the grave, all of these. Listen to this whole empire of
destruction, the heathen, the wicked, the enemy. He's destroyed them all. Their
cities and their memorials perished with them. The whole empire of
destruction is brought to a final end. Now this is all in the past
tense. What did Christ say on the cross? It is finished. That's what he
said. He put away all the power of
Satan for his people by taking away all their sin. That was
the weapon Satan had against you and me. He's an accuser of
the brethren. He's got no more power when he's got no more sin
to accuse you of. When the law says you're just,
he's got nothing to accuse you of now. And so he's destroyed,
but he spoiled principalities and powers, Colossians said.
He made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. He said to John, he said, now
is the prince of this world cast out. He's judged now, and he
went to the cross. Now this defeat, this is what
you need to, this will help you, I think. It'll help you here.
This defeat came when Satan, when Satan and wicked hands were
permitted to crucify Christ. That's when the defeat of Satan
and his enemies came about. When they were permitted to nail
Christ to a tree. And they were permitted to do
that. But this is when this came about. It appeared to be, to
just a natural eye, it looked like Satan and his army and all
the hosts of hell had won the day. That's what it looked like.
But the wicked were actually conquered by the very trap that
they laid, that they thought they were laying themselves.
Verse 15 and 16. The heathen are sunk down in
the pit that they made, and in the net which they hid is their
own foot taken. The Lord's known by the judgment
he executeth. The wicked is snared in the work
of his own hands. Now he says that word higion
means meditate and sila means stop and think that. This is
a double thing to think about here. I preached a message to
you one time on this. I titled it the bait, the trap,
and the broken yoke. And Christ was the bait. He was
the bait and the trap was the cross. And Satan thought That
he had, he laid that trap, that cross, and thought, I have killed
him right here on this, in this trap, in this net. But he was
taken in his own pit that he dug. He was taken in the very
net he laid himself. And at the same time, It says,
The Lord is known by the judgment he executeth, and the wicked
is snared in the work of his own hands. Those two things happen
at the same time on Calvary's tree. We see the Lord being made
known by the judgment which he executes. What wisdom! What judgment! that he would take the very thing
Satan had tried in the garden. When the Lord said, the Lord
told what Satan was going to do from the beginning. He said,
in travail the woman is going to have childbirth. Much pain
in travail. And Eve is a picture of the church,
and from day one, Satan went about trying to prevent that
seed from coming into the earth. We see it throughout the scriptures.
Pharaoh killed all the firstborn in Egypt. That's why Moses was put in a
basket of reeds and put off into the river. Who was it? I forget now, the
one who built the timbers and he was end up being hung, Mordecai.
Isn't that right? End up being hung on the timbers
that he made. That's what he was wanting to
do. Then when Herod came along, Herod wanted all the firstborn
slain. Saint tried his best to get that
seed not to be born. And finally, working in the hearts
and minds of the people, put in Judas Iscariot to do what
he did and betray the Lord. And finally he thought, I got
him now. And the Lord showed all along
from the very beginning. He said, you're gonna bruise
his heel, but he's gonna crush your head. And we see the wisdom
of God in that. Don't you see the wisdom of God
in that? So here's the, how's that apply to me? How's that
apply to me? How many times does it seem like
in your life that the enemy has got the victory over you? How
many times does it appear to you by your carnal eye, by what
you see, what appears to you that Satan has got the victory
over you? Don't we see that all the time? We think that many
times in this life. But here's the thing. Don't be
fooled by the carnal eye. Satan doesn't have the victory.
He doesn't have the victory. Our Lord has won the victory.
Our Lord has won the day. Here's the next thing. He has set up, we rejoice in
this work too, the Lord shall endure forever, verse 7, for
He hath prepared His throne for judgment. Now it looked like
in Christ being crucified, it looked like that it was done. It looked like the work that
Satan had won the day. But look at the verse 7, but
the Lord shall endure forever. He highly exalted God the Father
in what He did, in putting away the sin of His people by the
sacrifice of Himself. And the Lord, Philippians 2 says,
wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him and given Him a name
which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every tongue
shall bow and every soul confess that Christ is, He's God, He's
the King, He's our Savior. He prepared His throne for judgment
when He did that. He prepared His throne for judgment.
And verse 8 says, And He shall judge the world in righteousness. He shall minister judgment to
the people in uprightness. Notice that phrase, he shall
judge the world in righteousness. He shall judge the world in righteousness. Have you ever heard that before?
Look over to Acts 17 and verse 30. You who are questioning God,
you who are still worshipping your idols and worshipping the
work of your own hands, hear what the Apostle Paul says here,
verse 30. Acts 17, 30. He said, the times
of this ignorance God winked at. He winked at it. But now
commandeth all men everywhere to repent. Christ is come. It is time to put away childish
games. Because He hath appointed a day
into which He will judge the world in righteousness. That's
what we just read. He prepared His throne for judgment.
He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained,
whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath
raised him from the dead." When Christ rose from the dead, His
people rose from the dead in Him. And when He died, they died
in Him. And when they were buried, they
were buried with Him and justified from their sin, their sin put
away. And when He rose, we rose with Him. And God comes in a
season of His love and He shows us that. He declares it to His
people and makes us to see that He's faithful and just to forgive
us our sins. He's done so in Christ and He
makes us to rejoice in Him and to put all our confidence in
Him. And when He does that, brethren,
He tells us, He makes it known in our heart, there's no more
condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus. Judgment's been
accomplished. It's not going to be condemned
again. Not going to be condemned. Christ
bore that condemnation. And there's no more condemnation
to them that are in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit. But God's come to judge the world
in righteousness by Him. You're going to stand that day,
come to God and say, Lord, Lord, didn't we do many wonderful works?
And they might have been wonderful works in comparison with another
worm. They might be wonderful works
in comparison to to, you know, if if you if you let me make
the standard, I can always make myself look better. Let me pick
out what I will be judged by, and I can I can you know, make
myself look better. But we're going to stand before
Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, who was conceived holy, who came
forth from the womb pleasing the Father and thought word and
deed, who walked this earth righteously, who did that which God was well
pleased with and put away the sin of His people, laying down
His life for the Father and for His people. And God's going to,
we're going to stand and be judged by that righteousness. If you
meet God without Christ, that's the one. This one who we saw
last Thursday night is the judge and our advocate for the believer. He'll just be the judge for the
unbeliever. I mean, if you come before the
one who says, I would have been your advocate. I would have been
pleading your case for you if you'd have just trusted me to
plead it, instead of coming before me trying to plead it yourself.
Look, let me just read this to you. Enoch, also the seventh
from Adam, prophesied of thee, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh
with ten thousand of his saints to execute judgment upon all.
and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their
ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all
their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."
He said, He's coming. That's what He'll do. See, come
to Him confessing your inability. Come to Him confessing your utter
nothingness, your utter sin, your utter inability to do anything.
That's what believers do. We do that constantly. Repentance
is not a one-time thing. We're constantly coming to Him
and confessing our sin to Him. And call on Him and believe on
Him. Call on Him. Cast all your care
on Christ, believing on Him. And you'll find mercy. It's just
so. You'll find mercy. And that's
the fifth work we praise Him for. Look here, verse 9. We praise
Him for His mercy. We praise Him Well, we praise
Him first of all for His presence. Secondly, for His maintenance.
He's going to maintain our right and our cause. We praise Him
because He destroyed all our enemies at the cross. We praise
Him because He's prepared His throne for judgment. We praise
Him because He's a God of mercy. Look here, verse 9. The Lord
also will be a refuge for the oppressed. a refuge in times
of trouble. And they that know thy name will
put their trust in thee. For thou, Lord, hast not forsaken
them that seek thee." Are you oppressed? Are you oppressed? The Lord's a refuge for the oppressed.
Are you oppressed, pressed, pressed down, oppressed, oppression,
pressed down, and sin and... He's a refuge for the oppressed.
Are you in trouble? Do you suffer times of trouble? It says Christ is our refuge
in times of trouble. Not just one time, times, plural,
of trouble. Ain't there many times of trouble?
Many times of trouble. He's a refuge in times of trouble.
And they that know His name will put their trust in Him. They
that know His name. That's what we're praising is
His name. We preach Christ the person. That name of God manifests
in the person of our Redeemer. And we preach His marvelous works.
Christ in whom crucified. You can't know Him of whom you've
not heard. You can't know Him of whom you've
not been taught. You can't know Him of whom God
hasn't revealed in your own heart. But when you know Him, that His
name is faithful, that He says here, for thou, Lord, It's not
forsaken them that seek Thee. When you know that, when you
make to see that, that's what Christ is saying. And everything
Christ did when He walked this earth for His people, when He
cried unto Him that was able to save Him from death, He was
heard. He was heard. God is faithful. And if He was
faithful, there's only two we need to see. We need to see God
Almighty, our triune God, and Christ Jesus, and we'll see all
we need to know about the faithfulness of our God. Right there. He's
faithful. He's faithful. And He says He
won't forsake them that put their trust in Him. Here's our prayer.
Look at verse 13. Psalm 9, 13. Here's our prayer. Have mercy upon me, O Lord. Consider
my trouble, which I suffer of them that hate me. Thou that
liftest me up from the gates of death. that I might show forth
all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will
rejoice in thy salvation." I need Him to lift me up. I need Him
to have mercy on me. I need Him to consider my trouble.
I need Him to lift me up from the gates of death, that I might
show forth His praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion.
That's what Christ needed. You know what He got? He got
that. He raised Him up, and He's declaring
this glorious song in the gates of Zion. Christ is, and He is
through His gospel. And we rejoice in that salvation,
in His salvation. Now look with me. What do we
sing? We praise only the Lord. What's
the nature of the praise? With the whole heart. We praise
Him with the whole heart. What do we praise Him for? All
His marvelous works. Here they are. What we see in
this psalm, His presence, He turns back all our enemies. He'll
justly, faithfully maintain our right and our cause. He'll never
leave us. He defeated all our enemies on
Calvary's tree. I want to show you something
I didn't get to. Go look over it at 2 Corinthians. 2 Corinthians. It appeared like when Christ
suffered that on the cross, it appeared like His enemies won
the day, didn't it? And I said to you, don't judge
things by the carnal appearance. Don't judge them by the carnal
appearance. Here's what Paul said about that. 2 Corinthians
1 verse 8. For we would not, brethren, have
you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were
pressed out of measure. Have you ever been pressed out
of measure? Above strength. In so much that
we despaired even of life, even of life. But we had the sentence
of death in ourselves. You and I don't usually have
suffered that much. We really hadn't. Paul was talking
about, he said, I thought this was it. This is it for sure. Had the sentence of death in
ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves. It looked
like the enemies had won the day, didn't it? But this is why
he had that, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God,
which raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and
doth deliver, in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us.
Don't judge by the carnal appearance. It looked like Christ's enemies
had won the day, but that was the judgment of God, showing
his wisdom and his faithfulness in putting away sin, and it was
actually Christ who won the day. And that's what we see. The fourth
thing we saw was he's prepared his throne for judgment. We're
either going to be found that day in Christ with his spotless
robe of righteousness on, with nothing, no charge whatsoever
from the judge himself laid against us, or we're going to be found
naked and undone and coming to him in something that we think
we've done for ourselves and we'll be cast out, just he won't
receive us. And then here's what we see.
We praise Him because He declared His mercy to the oppressed. We
seek mercy from Him. Those are the five things we
see here. He's merciful. He's merciful. So verse 11 says
this to it. Sing praises to the Lord. Sing
praises to the Lord. which dwelleth in Zion, declare
among the people his doings." His doings. We got nothing to
be sad about. We got nothing to be... I mean,
if we got those things, they could beat us divided into two
things. We got judgment and mercy on our side, our God. That's
what we got on our side, brethren. We got nothing to be sad or cast
down about. That's why he says, sing to one
another in songs and hymns and spiritual songs and lift up the
feeble hands that hang down and the feeble knees and strengthen
the feeble knees. This is the song of our rejoicing
right here. You know, if you get up in the
morning And you get up in the morning and you start your day.
And let me turn into Zephaniah chapter 3. Zephaniah chapter
3. It's just before Haggai, just after
Habakkuk. Hosea, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk,
Zephaniah. You got it, Zephaniah? You get
up in the morning, you know, and you feel You're tired. I told Melinda yesterday, I said,
this thing in life would be easy if we felt like it, getting up
every day. Felt like getting up and hitting
it every day. You're tired. Flesh is just a shipwreck. When you sing, when you sing,
doesn't a joyful song cheer you up? Doesn't a joyful song give
you some strength and some pimp? This is the song we have to rejoice
in, brethren, right here. What we've just been hearing
about. Look here at Zephaniah 3, verse
14. Sing, O daughter of Zion. Shout,
O Israel, be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter
of Jerusalem. The Lord hath taken away thy
judgments. He's cast out thine enemy, the
King of Israel. Even the Lord is in the midst
of thee, and thou shalt not see evil anymore. In that day it
shall be said to Jerusalem, fear thou not, And to Zion, let not
thy hands be slack. The Lord thy God in the midst
of thee is mighty. He will save. He will rejoice
over thee with joy. He will rest in his love. He
will joy over thee with singing. Now, if God can joy over me with
singing in Christ, I can joy over my God with singing in Christ.
We've met together in one. And he said, I'm in the midst
of you. That's great reason for rejoicing. All right.
