I do love that hymn. OK, Psalm 36. Psalm 36. It's this psalm. We've looked at it together before
and several years ago. But this psalm comes to mind
quite often to me. The first verse of this psalm
especially comes to mind. Subject, theme of what David,
David is the writer, the subject and title is Thoughts and Prayer
of a God-fearing Man. David is meditating, musing,
thinking about all that goes on around him, thinking about
the wickedness of man, his generation. and the mercy of God to him. And that's what this is about. And that sums it all up, doesn't
it? He says in verse one, the transgression
of the wicked saith within my heart that there is no fear of God
before their eyes. David is saying, what I see and
hear all around me tells me that there's no fear of God before
most folks' eyes. The wicked, as we considered
Wednesday night, are obviously those who rape and rob and murder and kill. and live like savages. That's very obvious that they're
wicked, isn't it? And it hurts. It should hurt
the heart. It does hurt the heart of anyone
who's sensitive to oppression and so forth. It should hurt
to hear of some of these things that happen. throughout the world,
shouldn't it? When you read, I believe God's people are different
than the world. The world wants to read and hear
about all of this, these tragedies and so forth
that go on. That's why they're printed in
the newspaper. People love to hear about that.
They love to read about it. God's people, it hurts their
heart. They really would rather not hear about it. Isn't that right? The wicked are obviously
those people, aren't they? Now, David, God said, is a man
after my own heart. That's what God said about David. Don't you hope that God says
that about you. But out of the heart are the
issues. With the heart, man believes.
David, I'll tell you why he's a man after God's own heart and
how you know. He really feared the Lord from
his heart. He just didn't say he did. He
did. And how you know that is he worshiped
God from the heart. We read that. He loved God's
Word. He loved God's Word. He was zealous
for God's glory, God's truth. That's why he wrote things like
this. He said in Psalm 119, I esteem all thy precepts concerning all
things to be right. It's all right because God said
it. And then he said, and therefore,
he said, so I hate every false way. I hate everything that's
not in keeping with God's truth. And David, you know, is observing,
thinking about all the wickedness that goes on around him in the
world and so forth. It's obvious that those who do
these things to their fellow man don't fear God. Don't even
believe there is a God. A judge to answer to. Who said
thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not and so forth. It's obvious.
But I believe and I'm certain that the worst form of wickedness, and our Lord said would receive
the greatest punishment, is what men and women and children think about God and say about
God, say about God's Word, say about God's Son. That's right. That's who he called workers
of iniquity, didn't it? What they say about God's truth,
how they rest it, twist it, and so forth. What they say about
God's blessed Son. How they mock God's Son. And it hurts the heart. It hurt
David's heart. It should hurt our heart, not
just make us mad. It should hurt our hearts, more
so than if people were maligning our wife or husband or mother
or father. It should hurt our heart. Jeremiah
was called the weeping prophet, and he said, my heart is broken
in me because of these prophets. And David said, what it does,
it tells me in my heart that they don't know God and they
don't fear God. And now listen, David speaks
much of the fear of the Lord throughout his psalms. Fear God. Fear God. Fear God. You that
love the Lord, he said, hate evil. Those that fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is to hate
evil. Fear God. The Lord is my of them that fear
Him. The Lord take great pleasure, the scripture says, David wrote,
in them that fear Him. Those that hope in His mercy.
The Lord takes great pleasure in them, in theory. If I could
impress upon everyone in here, young, especially young, and
old alike, it's that which is missing today,
so obvious today, like it was today, and that which is the
chief Attitude, attribute of every
true believer. It's the fear of the Lord. Fear of the Lord. And that involves
everything. Worship. Fear of God is to worship
God, as God. It's to reverence God. The tree
is named. to treat the things of God as
Word. To approach God that you have
brought to me with absolute respect. It's to stand in awe. David says,
stand in awe of God. Tremble. It's to tremble. You see the flippant and careless
and familiar way that most people claim worship God, especially
preachers, in other words, aren't there? Pride and the arrogance
that they have. Huh? Fear of God and pride do not
dwell together, cannot. The fear of God is to be zealous
for His truth, zealous for His truth, His glory. The fear of
God is to be humble, truly humble. to be a self-denier, not vain glories, but self-effacing,
not a promoter of self. It's to be modest. Immodesty
means there's no fear of God. You know that? The flaunting of oneself and
so forth, in any way, shape, form, or fashion, says they don't
fear God. The angels, the holy angels,
covered themselves. I've never seen that. In modesty. So David says, the transgression
of the wicked saith in my heart, there's no fear of God before
their eyes. No fear of God. And as I said, if I could impress
something upon us this morning, more than anything else, it would
be this. Especially our young people. Fear God. Ask God to make you fear God. And do not grow used to what
you're seeing and hearing around you today. It's getting worse
and worse. Don't grow used to it. This wholesale
use of God's name tells me that this is the last of the last
days. This wholesale use of God's name, which is his glory, tells
me of Jesus and so forth, tells me that there's no fear of God
before their eyes, and God is removing his hand from our generation. And it tells me of the soon destruction
of this God-hating world. And I tell you, Be no part or
parcel to any of this. Don't grow used to it. Don't
grow insensitive to it. Be no companion with those that
do it. It is guilt and association. So David is saying this with
a broken heart. The transgression of the wicked
saith within my heart, there's no fear of God. It goes on to
say they flatter themselves in their own eyes for their iniquities. It's hateful. What is the most,
the ugliest thing to you, the ugliest thing about someone that you
dislike? What is it? Pride. Nobody likes to be around somebody
that is just in love with themselves. Dude, pride. It's hateful. Six things, Proverbs 6 says,
Proverbs 6, 16, six things the Lord hates. The first thing, what is the first
thing God says that he hates more than anything? A proud look. In the margin it says, haughty
eyes. And doesn't that just, you just
look at the billboards and the magazines and the TV and all
that. the look you see in the faces of people, haughtiness. God hates it. Why? Why does God
hate pride so much? Because all things are
of God. The intellect is from God. The
strength of body is from God. The physical beauty is from God. Riches are from God. A place
in society is from God. A health, wealth, whatever is
from God. What do we have that we have
not received? A man can receive nothing except
it be what? Given him from above. That's
why it says, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom. A strong
man in strength. A beautiful woman in her beauty.
It's been given to you. And it can be taken away. So God hates pride because it's
all given. They had nothing to do with it. He hates it. And read on. It says the words of his mouth
are iniquity and deceit and lies. He's left off to be wise. What
is it to be wise? Go back to Psalm 2. He said,
Be wise now, you kings of the earth, and be instructed, serve
the Lord with fear. That's what it is to be wise.
The only truly wise men in this world are those that fear God
and that love Jesus Christ. That's right. To be wise, he said, and left
off to be wise to do good. Verse 4, he diviseth mischief
upon his bed, set it himself in a way that is not good, and
it poureth not evil. As I quoted to you from Psalm
97, ye that love the Lord, he said, hate evil. Hate it. Ye that love the Lord, hate evil.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. That's what it means. Well, and then, now, the rest
of this psalm is for God's people. This is
for God-fearing people. This is for those who do fear
God. This is for those who do fear God and those that really
hope in His mercy. That describes all you see and
hear around you, doesn't it? Does it just hurt your heart
and tell you plainly that there's no fear of God?
But this is the rest of it. He's thinking about all he sees
and hears going on around him, and it causes him to think, I
could be right in the middle of that. And worry it not for the mercy
and grace of God. I'd be just like that. God was greatly merciful to David,
wasn't he? And then he caused him to remember
his creator from the days of his youth. These young people
in here, you just don't realize what mercy it is for you to be
sitting in this room right now hearing the truth. You just don't
realize it. All of your friends, most of
your friends are not hearing this. David, the Lord was greatly merciful
to David, isn't He? As a child, He caused him to
seek His faith. As a child, He caused him to
remember His Creator. As a child, He caused him to
bear the yoke in His youth. As a child, what mercy! What
grace! And some of you, if you stop
and think, muse in your own heart, you think about that you were
in the midst of all this out in the world. Some of you were.
in the gutter, the depth of sin. And some of you were in another
gutter called the pew, which is worse. Lying on God
and so forth. It should cause you to think
on the infinite mercy of God. That's what David says in verse
5. He says, All thy mercy, O Lord. You see that? Are you with me
here? You see that man? He's thinking about all that's
around him, and then he gives him pause, and it makes him stop
and think, oh, look at me. Look where I am. Look who I know, what I know. Oh, by mercy of God. By mercy
of the Lord. It's another thing he speaks
of even more than the fear of the Lord. It's the mercy of the Lord. Oh my. God's mercy is to choose us,
to pluck us as a bran from the burning. Call us by His gospel. He calls
us to love His truth, love His glory, love His Son, and love
His people. Seek His faith. Thy mercy. Look
what David says about God's mercy. This is how he describes it.
Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens. And he says, Thy faithfulness
reaches unto the clouds. When we try to describe something
that we can't describe, we say it's great. He said, try to describe
something. How big was it? Big. How high? High. Thy mercy, O Lord. Higher than the heavens. When
God said that in Isaiah 45, He said, talks about God's mercy,
my ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your way. What
He's talking about is His mercy. That is greater than any mercy
ever been shown by anybody. Always will be, always has been.
Infinite, high, great, sovereign mercy. Mercy, now, we sing, oh,
how mercy for them. It's of the Lord's mercy that
we're not consumed, Lamentations says, doesn't it? Our old brother
Barnard used to say some wise things in a statement, and this
was one of them. He said, Anything this side of
hell is mercy. It's an absolute fact that God
is going to destroy this planet, which nobody today ever says
anything about. God's people are very conscious
of that. God's preachers are very conscious of that and bring
it up. Now, God's going to destroy this
planet. It's not the love of God. It's God's holy hatred of
sin and everything and everyone that's in it. And He's going
to destroy them. Like you would grass and leaves
to burn it up. Some refuse or garbage. Right. He's going to destroy it. But what about us? What about
you? Well, it's of the Lord's mercy
that we're not concerned. Because his compassion, they
fail not. The Lord had compassion on some of
us, like old Mephibosheth. My favorite story in the Scripture.
Old Mephibosheth wasn't seeking David. Mephibosheth wasn't calling
on David. Mephibosheth didn't want David
to reign and rule necessarily. He may have been thinking at
that time, I belong on that throne. I'm the son of Saul. I'm the
rightful heir to the throne. Not David, but David. who was rich in mercy, given
him by his God. Man after God's own heart. David,
rich in mercy for a covenant that he made with Mephibosheth's
father named Jonathan. A picture of Christ. For a covenant. And he's faithful. He's faithful. How faithful was David? How faithful
is our God to his covenant? He says he remembers his covenant.
Though we remain sinners, He remembers His death. And David
said, is there any of the house of Jonathan that I might show
kindness? The house of Saul, that I might
show kindness for Jonathan's sake? I will be merciful, he
said. Yeah, there's one, but he's worthless. Oh, thy mercy is so high, O Lord. Thy mercy is so high. Thy faithfulness,
faithfully. Oh, the Lord has been so faithful
to His people. Provided, watched over, led,
guided, protected, watched over all of His people, taught us,
put up with us, bore with us, longsuffering to us, put us in
this place. The lions have fallen unto us
in pleasant places. One of you men was sitting with
me on my porch the other day and telling me just that, how
thankful you were to be where you are. The Lord has chosen our inheritance
for us. The mines have fallen unto us
in pleasant places. Our mercy, O Lord, is in the
heavens. Our faithfulness reaches unto the clouds. My righteousness, verse 6, he
says, is like the great mountains. I'll tell you a little difference
between the word righteousness and holiness, just for your own
instruction. Holiness means purity, moral purity, okay? Sinlessness. Righteousness means everything
is absolutely the way it ought to be. Perfect. Just the way it ought to be,
according to truth and what's right. We get the word right.
That's right. Shall not the judge of the earth
do right? Yes, because he's righteous.
And everything he does is right. Now we might think at the time
it's wrong, but no, he's righteous in all his way. Everything he
does is exactly the right way to do it. The only way to do
it. All things work together for good. Not just eternal good,
but temporal good of his people. We don't see it. We don't understand
it. We can't. We never will. I take it back. We will someday. We'll know even
as we've been known. We're going to look back and
see how God was righteous in all His ways. Everything He did
concerning me was the right way. That's the only way. According
to His infinite... We're going to see how all these
things have worked together. All these lives are intertwined.
All of them working together to fulfill God's purpose. Little
threads all in this great tapestry called so great salvation. We're
on the back side now. We do not see how this is connected. This is connected. This is connected.
We will someday. God is righteous. His righteousness
It's like the great mountains. That's what Paul wrote in Romans
11 when he said, He's past time now. The great mountains. Anybody in here ever climbed
Everest? No, you never will either. A
lot of people died trying it. My God's righteousness. It's
higher than the mountains. Higher than the mountains. Great
like the great mountains. The mountains of God. Thy judgments. That's the way His dealings are
great deep. Deeper than the sea. Oh my. What God is and what God has
done. What David is saying. What David
is saying. And he can't say it. He's just
not able to put it into words. He's saying it's all beyond me. It's just beyond me. God's mercy
is How great is it? Well, it's just higher, higher
than heaven. And his faithfulness, how faithful
he's been to me, how good he's been to me. David doesn't talk
about his faithfulness. It's required in a steward that
he be found faithful. It's our reasonable service.
We're going to be saved someday. We are saved. We will be saved
because God is faithful. Peter denied Him, didn't he,
John? He loved the Lord, but he denied Him. But Christ can't
deny Himself. You love that verse, don't you? Peter was in Christ's heart. graven on the palm of his hand,
in his mind, when Christ was praying to the Father at that
very moment, when Christ was hanging on a cross, Peter, Simon,
was on his heart. And he prayed to the Father.
And that's what he told Peter. You know, I've prayed for you. You're going to deny me, but
I can't deny myself. If you're in me, I can't deny
you. And bless God, someday Peter,
later on Peter, he couldn't deny the Lord anymore after that. So David is saying here,
I can't put into words what I want to say about God's mercy and
about God's faithfulness and His righteousness and His judgments
and His dealings with me. It's just deeper. All of His
dealings are just deeper than the ocean. And look at verse
6. I like this. Thou preservest man and beast.
Man and beast. I couldn't help but think about
my beast. My old dog. Now the Lord has watched over
me and even my dog. In the past, every animal we've
ever owned has been hit by a car or something. Mainly because we've lived on
busy streets. And I come along and I find them
lying there. You know, and it hurts. You can't
help but get attached to these things. But my Lord has given
me an intimate companion all these years. Well, I stole from
my old dog, and I want to tell you the truth here. I know which one deserves that
the least. Abner's never hurt anybody. He's never said an ill word to
anybody, except maybe Charlie. He'd never growl. I wish he would.
He doesn't growl at strangers. I wish he would someday. He growls
at Charlie. Charlie deserves it. He's a rich,
spoiled brat, you know. But what I'm saying is, Lord's
watched over me and my dog, even my dog. And I know which one
deserves it the least. I do. Abner's never shook his
fist in the face of God. I did. So David talks about God's
mercy and God's faithfulness and God's preserving, providing
grace. And he said it's just right. I love that passage over in 2
Samuel where Nathan came to David to remind him of what all the
Lord had done for him. Chapter 7, I believe. He came
to David to remind him of all God's mercy to him where he found
him. God said to David, I found you
in the sheep pen, and I have set you on the throne of Israel.
And David wrote this prayer or said this. He went in and sat
down before the Lord after hearing that. Went in and sat down before the
Lord. And he said, Is this the way
of man? He said, I've never experienced
such mercy and grace and kindness and tender mercy ever. This is
man. This is not the way man does
things. This is my God, Doug. He said, this is my God. He said, thou art great. He said,
there's none like you. Read that for yourself sometime
later on. So he says in verse 7, how excellent. The word excellent means it excels
all else. It far exceeds anything or anyone
else. Excellent. They used to call
kings His Excellency, didn't they? That's because he was higher
and nobler and so forth. Oh, but the Scriptures talk about
excellencies of the knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord. The
most excellent one. brighter, fairer than the sons
of men, the bright and morning star. He's that bright and morning
star. Excellent. Excellent. Excelling all others. Loving
kindness. How excellent are thy loving
kindness. Now, it's a good way to think of the
word loving kindness. It's an Old Testament word. You
won't find it much in the New Testament at all. Is it at all
in the New Testament, Ed? I don't think it's found at all. Kindness. The very word sounds,
doesn't it sound good? Loving kindness. You see, Paul did write in 1
Corinthians 13, love is kind. How kind. You see, God loves
His people. And I know the world abuses it,
but let us not who let us never lose sight of the wonder and
the glory and the beauty and cease to thank and praise Him
or think about the love of God to His people. The love of God. Well, you love your family. I know you do. You love them. I mean, you really love them,
don't you? You love these people. Our love is so, it's nothing
compared to the love of God. Well, I, you know, I am senior
and heard neither have entered into the hearts of man, the heart
of man, the love of God. It really hasn't. And the greatest
love, the greatest show of this love of God, Scripture says,
is that He laid down His life, not for a good man, not for a
righteous man, but in that while we were yet sinners. Loving kindness. Loving kindness. Love is kind. The word kind means compassion.
It means tender. I like the sound of the word,
don't you? You can't say that word in a harsh way. God is kind. God loves His people and His
to them. This is in a word what God shows
to His people, loving kindness. It far exceeds and far excels
the kindness and love of anybody, anything. Here's a great illustration of
it, all right? The Lord is the one that gave
this great illustration of the loving kindness of God. The prodigal
son. That prodigal boy was a rebellious,
selfish, no good, worthless, worldly rebel against his loving
Father. Was he not? He lived, he was
sinning against mercy, love, grace, kindness, wasn't he? When
he said, give me my portion, I'm going out there, he took
no thought for his Father's love, his Father's kindness, his Father's
goodness, And he said, I'm leaving this place. There's something
better out there. He's a fool. He's a fool. And he went out
in the world. And what did he do? Wasted his
substance. In fact, killed himself. And
the Lord, in His goodness, brought him to himself. Made him realize
what he was and where he was. He ended up in the hog pen. I
mean, he ended up in the hog pen. Literally ended up in the
hog pen. That's where he belonged. That's
where he belonged. Because that's what was in his
heart. But God brought him to himself. Broke his heart. Opened
his eyes to see his rotten, no good, stinking self down in the
hog pen. Made him stop and think where
he was and think about his father back there. And so he mused.
He thought in his heart, if I could just, I'm going to go home. And
I'm going to cast myself on the mercy of my Father. In my Father's
house, oh, even the servants do better than I'm doing that. And I don't deserve, you know,
if I get what I deserve, the Father won't receive me. But
I'm going to try. I'm going to go home. And he
rehearsed his little speech. Remember? He rehearsed his little
speech. This is a good little speech, a good little sovereign
grace speech. You know, he had this all rehearsed, and here's
what I'm going to say to God, Father, I've sinned against heaven,
and that's good, that's right, that's true. And then this evil
one outside, and he was going to say, just give me a little
place in the barn. Just give me a few, you know, little crumbs
at the table. And he hadn't even got close
to home. And it says the father was looking
for him down the road. Long before he ever had a thought
to come back to him, that father was looking. And when he was a speck on the
horizon, the father said, that's my boy. Your boy? He's a no-good, rotten son of
a you-know-what. Leave him in the hog bin. No,
no, that's my boy. And he says, the father ran. The father ran. The loving, kindness
of our God, the father ran. and fell on his neck. Like people did to you when you
came home. Fell on his neck. And that boy's thinking, I just
wanted a place in the barn. I was worried about him receiving
me. The father said, kill the fatted
calf. Bring the robe. Put a ring on
his finger. We're going to have a party! My son is home. Oh, a loving
kindness of God. That's the best illustration I could get.
And I didn't get it before, too. Hoping for a little place in
the barn, a few scraps, and there he is sitting at the table. I
go, well, Phoebe's here. That's right. Oh, well, Phoebe's
here. He never got over that. Phoebe's here sitting at that
table. He never got over that. He's sitting there thinking.
And this is what he said. Who am I? I was a dead dog when
he found me. Didn't David love him? for jobs. Oh my that's really that mercy. I heard. Loving. In that wonderful world
you know you know in that in that in mind. The father did. He had a party, didn't he, in
the son's honor. I thought about this verse the
other day, and it just amazed me. Scripture says there's joy
in the presence of the angels over one sinner that repents. One no good rotten sinner repents
by God's mercy and goodness and grace. And it says angels. They have a celebration in glory. Isn't that amazing? Loving kindness. Oh, so, so. Children of men put
their trust under the shadow of thine wings. That's the God.
You know, the Lord whose delights to show mercy, that's the one
I trust. How about you? He's the one whose
mercy endures forever. That's the one that I trust. Verse 8, it says, They shall
be... I've got to hurry through this and quit. They shall be
abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house. Like the
prodigal. Bring the fatted calf. These old prodigal, no good,
centered rebels. He brings them home, makes them
children and satisfies them with the fatness of thy house. Oh,
my. Makes them drink of the river
of thy pleasures. I know some of you think all
the time, it can't get any better than that. And then it does.
You know, a river is fresh water, isn't it? Always running, always
flowing from a source. Because verse 9 says, He's the
fountain. He's the fountain of life. We
sung that. There is a fountain. Come thou
fountain of every blessing. He's the fountain of life. In thy life, it says they shall
be abundantly satisfied. Did you read the margin? This
will be watered, abundantly watered and fed. You who have animals
and so forth, how do you feed them? Let me get a better illustration
of that. You ladies that have husbands, how do you feed them,
Irene, namely? Irene. skimpily, you know. Now, here's a piece of toast,
John. Ask a little much, aren't you? You love him and you just want
to fatten him up. It's working. These men, I love
to see these men like, well, I'm not going to bring up any
names, but after they'd been married a short while, you know,
they were bachelors, you know, doing well, yeah. And then they
get married in a short time after they just start puffing up. Somebody's watering them, feeding
them well. It's love, isn't it? You know, to be spiritually fat
is a good thing. That's what God does to all His
people is fat. If they're lean, it's their own
fault. They're missing a table. It's their own fault. He's caused
us to eat fat things, fatten us up, abundantly watered us,
the river. And verse 9, Thy light, in thy
light shall we see light. Now, this verse gave, that verse
demands a message by itself. I just might do that later. It's
a high crime to give it thirty seconds. But in essence, it means if we
see anything, it's in light of Christ. Isn't it? The only reason we see anything,
and we do see pretty clearly, it's in light of Christ. the
truth, the way, the truth, the life, the life. Verse 10, oh,
continue. And this is the verse saying
that caused me to want to deal with this. Oh, continue. I love
you, God. Please, Lord. This is the prayer.
This is David's prayer. Oh, He's been so merciful, so
gracious, so kind. Please continue. Don't leave
me alone. But in light of who this is and
what he's done and his past mercies and all that, you can expect,
not presume, but you can expect him to be something. I wouldn't put up with me anymore. Would you? I mean, put up with
you? You wouldn't put up with yourself
anymore, would you? That's it. That's all. No, but since His
mercy is as it is, He's faithful, so people put their trust, men
put their trust in Him. He will continue His love and
kindness. He will. I'll quote it to you
again. The Lord taketh pleasure in them
that fear Him. The Lord taketh pleasure in them
that fear Him. and in them that hope in His
mercy." That's the greatest verse in the Bible. The Lord taketh
pleasure in them that fear Him. Do you fear Him, Mary? I know
you do. I know you do. The Lord taketh
pleasure in you. He just delights in you. You're
just an apple of His eye. He's just not going to let anything
happen to you. What's your hope of heaven? What is your hope
of being saved, eternal? One thing. His mercy. He just delights to show mercy. That's not the way of man. That's
our God. That is our God. Oh, but he says,
continue. Please continue. We don't presume
upon it. That's why we continue the gospel. Now, he says in verse
eleven, And all the mercy, all people, the mercy, the grace,
the goodness, the lovingkindness, as we've been saying, is all
for Christ's sake, isn't it? God is merciful to us because
He showed no mercy to His Son. He spared not His own Son, but
delivered Him up. So, David concludes by saying,
let not the foot of pride come against me, and don't let me
be lifted up with pride ever about anything. Keep me humble,
and God will, and God does. It's a hard lesson sometimes,
and it leaves us to ourselves, just for a little while, to show
us what we are. Just for a little, just, I mean,
briefly. Show us what we're capable of
thinking and doing. It makes us run right back now.
And let not the hand of the wicked remove me. Satan hath desired
to sift you like wheat. But he can't have you. Aren't you glad, Nancy, we've

workers of iniquity, comes right back to where he started. That's
where they are falling. They're led captive by him at
his will. That's where he started, y'all,
these workers of iniquity. Men in the gutter of their religion,
they're cast down, they'll not be able to ride. But say ye to the righteous,
did you read that article? Say the righteous, you'll be
well with them. You'll be well. uh... uh...
