Turn to Psalm 51. Now, after reading those portions of Scripture, you can just about feel those
who believe the Gospel, those who have experienced what true
repentance is. You can feel David's pain. You
can feel his pain. You can identify with him. It
says in Psalm 51, to the chief musician, a psalm of David when
Nathan the prophet came unto him after he had gone in to Bathsheba. I'm sure several months went
by probably about the time for the delivery. And then Nathan
is sent to David to tell him, Thou art the man. Thou art the
man. Now, I titled this, A Psalm of
Repentance. A Psalm of Repentance. This psalm was written by the
man after God's own heart. This song is written by the man,
the sweet psalmist of Israel he's called, the man after God's
own heart. This believer, this beloved son
of God, this king of Israel whom God anointed, whom God chose.
You see, the people chose Saul. God chose David. This is God's
king. He had committed a horrible sin. And as the nature of sin is,
it always leads to another one and another one and another one.
You try to cover this one up, you commit another one to cover
one. And that's the way it kept going. And that's the way it is. He
committed this adultery. which led him to try and cover
it up, bringing Uriah in from the battlefield, trying to even get him drunk,
and couldn't do it. This man was such a devoted servant, and so since he couldn't do that,
he had him put in the hottest part of the battle, And then he was killed. And there
was others killed there, too. If you read the rest of that
chapter 11, there were other men killed because of this. They
moved him up close to the wall. Joab moved up close to the wall.
They were not to do that. That was not their military tactic. But he moved him up close to
the wall, close to where the valiant men were, men of war.
And there was, Uriah was killed and there was other men killed.
And then whenever Joab sent a servant to tell David, he said, now,
when David says you shouldn't have gone so close to the wall
and all these men killed, you tell him this, you'll rise dead. And he did. And David said, well,
OK. He said, tell Joab not to worry about it. You read the
rest of that chapter. He says, just tell Joab, you
know, it happens. That's war. This is what happened. This is
the child of God. This man premeditatedly had Uriah
killed. The scripture says, he that covers
his sins shall not prosper. And David tried to cover his
sins, but God was not going to allow it. This is his child.
This is his child. Now look in verse 1. You'll notice
as we go through here, David makes no excuse now. He makes
no excuse for his sins. He says, have mercy upon me. I can picture David in my mind
on his hands and knees weeping. You remember how Peter went out
and wept bitterly? I can see David here on his hands
and knees weeping bitterly over what he had done. God made him
to realize his sin and who he sinned against. And David says
here, Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness,
according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies, blot out
my transgressions. Here the sinner pleads for mercy. Not the king, not the one who
killed Goliath, but the sinner. I mean, a dog of a sinner pleading
here for mercy. David knew that mercy was an
attribute of God. And he knew by experience that
God delighted to show mercy. He knew. I'll tell you this.
David knew. that his sin was not greater
than God's mercy. I think Judas believed that his
sin was greater than what God could forgive. And that's just
not so. Not so. David knew that God's
mercy was greater than his sin. And he knew that God Almighty
could put his sins away. He knew that he could block them
out. Nathan, look back here over here in 2 Samuel chapter 12. Here's what David knew because
he was given this by the prophet. And David said to Nathan in verse
13, I have sinned against the Lord. I have sinned. You know, there's nothing I don't
know that we can what we can compare sin to. You know, the
scripture calls sin the exceeding sinfulness of sin. If you if
you if you touch ice, you know, it's cold. You had something
to compare it to. If you touch fire, you know, it's hot. You
have something to compare it to. But when you talk of sin,
the apostle said the exceeding sinfulness of sin. There's nothing
to compare it to. It's so evil. It's so wicked.
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And
Nathan said to David, the Lord also hath put away. He put it away, David is gone. If God put it away, it does not
exist anymore, even though David felt the guilt of it, but it's
gone. The Lord also and now We looked
at this last Wednesday night. Capital L-O-R-D. Jehovah. Jehovah. The Lord who is gracious and
merciful. There in Exodus 34. Jehovah. Now listen. Jehovah. Jehovah who? Jesus. Also hath put away thy sin. You're
not going to die. You're not going to die. Now,
the sword is not going to leave your house. You're going to be chasing.
You're going to be chasing for this, but you're not going to
die because you're seeing. This transgression and all your
sins have already been put away. Is not Christ said to be the
land slain before the foundation of the world? David, your sins
are already gone. You're not going to die, but
you're going to suffer for this. You're going to suffer the chastening
rod of God for this for the rest of your life. But David says here, have mercy,
have mercy upon me. Oh, it's like that sinner standing
in the temple. God be merciful to me, the sinner.
That's what David felt. True godly sorrow owns up to
its transgressions. It causes the sinner to come
clean with God. He tried to hide what he did. We just read that. But when God
sent His man, His Word in power to David, he didn't try to hide
it anymore. When the gospel comes in power,
listen, I'll read to you over in Hebrews chapter 4. Here is
what's happening. This is what happened when Nathan
came. In Hebrews chapter 4, look in
verse 12. For the word of God is quick
and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the
joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of
the heart. The word of God That Nathan brought to him pierced
his heart. God just sliced his heart. And here's what the Lord did
in verse 13. Neither is there any creature
that is not manifest in his sight, but all things are naked and
open. He exposed David. He exposed
David's heart to himself. That has this meaning here in
verse 13. But all things are naked and
open. That means violently stripped. That means violently stripped.
God, when He sent Nathan to David, He violently stripped him and
made him stand there exposed. Absolutely exposed before God. David was made to see the very
wretchedness, wickedness of his sin and the one whom he sinned
against. That's true repentance. That's
when it will happen. Now, David says, According to
thy lovingkindness, according to the multitude of thy tender
mercies, blot out my transgressions. According, it's just like you
to do. It's just like you to do it.
According to your loving kindness. Don't deal with me in justice.
Lord, deal with me in mercy. David knew something of God's
tender mercies. For he had drunk of that fountain
many times before. Many times before. He knew the
name of Jehovah. They that know thy name shall
put their trust in thee, no matter how far they fall. They'll still
trust him. They'll trust him. And look at
his request. Blot out. You know, he's not
just saying, forgive me, I've done something wrong here. He's
saying completely wipe this off the record, off the book. Completely
blot it out. Take it completely away. Blot
out my transgressions. Wipe them completely away. He's
asking God to do for him what no one else can do. The priest
could not do this for him. No one, no one can absolutely
blot out transgressions but God. And he's asking God to blot out
all his transgressions. His transgressions? He said,
oh, oh, blot out my transgressions. Put away my transgressions. If
not, if not, then God will have to put me away. If he does not
put away my transgressions, if he does not blot them out, he
will have to blot me out. That's the only alternative.
That's it. God cannot behold iniquity with
indifference, but God can blot out all my transgressions. He can do it through the blood
of the Lamb of God. He can blot them out. Happy is
the sinner that knows this. I know that the pain of, you
know, the sin of what he has done, it went with him through
life. He never forgot that. He never forgot it, even though
God blotted it out. He never forgot it. But blessed
and happy is a sinner that knows that God can blot out his transgressions
through the blood of the Lamb. No matter what they are, he can
blot them out, wipe them away. There's atonement for sin. in
the blood of the crucified one. And now listen, he asked God
to blot him out. Don't let him ever come up against
me. He said in one place, remember
not the sins of my youth. And then he says here in verse
2, wash me. Oh, he felt the vileness of his sinfulness. He felt the vileness of his nature. And he said, wash me, listen,
throughly. He said, Lord, cleanse me inside
and out. Wash me throughly from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin. This matter of salvation is more
than just God declaring me just. It's more than that. It is actually
making me clean. Clean. David said, Lord, wash
me. You see, this is the experience
of salvation. There is a real cleansing from
sin, and it began with Christ. His blood sprinkled, because
David will mention this here in this psalm, sprinkled on the
conscience. That's the only thing that can quiet a guilty conscience,
a screaming conscience. If God has awakened it, if God
has applied His Word, if He's given a true conviction of sin,
the only thing that can quiet that is the blood of the Lamb
of God sprinkled on your conscience. Paul speaks of it over in Hebrews.
I believe it's chapter 9 and 10 in that area. But this is
why he's saying here, wash me. There's a real cleansing here.
And I need it. And wash me thoroughly inside
and out. Listen to what our Lord said
to the Pharisees in Matthew chapter 23. Woe unto you, scribes and
Pharisees, hypocrites! For you may clean the outside
of the cup and the platter, but within they are full of extortion
and excess. Now blind Pharisee, cleanse first
that which is within the cup and the platter. And then He
said, Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you
are like unto whitish sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful
outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness, even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto
men, but within you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity." David
is saying, Lord, don't let me be like this. Don't let me be
like this. Wash me throughly. inside and
out. It has to start inside or it
won't come out. I'll tell you that. It'll come
out and it'll come out wrong, that's for sure. Whatever is
within will come out. We not only need our sins blotted
out, but we need this inward cleansing by the blood of Christ. We need it. My problem with sin
comes from within. That's where it comes from. My problem with sin doesn't come
from what I watch on TV. It doesn't come from what I drink.
It doesn't come from anything I do. My problem with sin comes
from within. It's what's in here. That's what
true repentance is. Lord, wash me inwardly. Take
care of this which is in me. Subdue it. Cleanse me. Wash me. As he said down here later, and
I'll be whiter than snow. Men think that if they don't
do certain things, that they are clean. Solomon said, all
the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but the Lord weigheth
the spirits. Men are as God sees them, not
as men see themselves. And here comes this true repentance.
Listen here. Well, it keeps getting better,
what it keeps getting. In verse 3, for I acknowledge
my transgressions. I tell you what, for about nine
months he didn't. It took God to bring David, the king, his
own child. This is a man whom God had saved. This is a man who knew the Lord.
But about nine months went by, eight, nine months, somewhere
in there, and then God sent His Word and power to him. and brought
him to his knees and brought him to repentance. And David,
for the first time, cries out and says, I acknowledge my transgressions
and my sin is ever before me. I can't forget what I did. He could not forget Uriah's face.
He could not forget that servant that would not go home, that
laid at his door. He could not forget that faithful
servant. He said, My sin, what I have done is ever before me. How painful it is to see oneself
in the light, in the light of God's all-searching eye. But no matter how painful it
is, it's necessary. It's necessary. Because that
is what will bring us to Christ. Our sins. Your self-righteousness will
keep you away. But it's our sin. It's David's sin here that's
bringing him to God. It's David's sin that's causing
him to cry out for mercy. My sin, he says, is ever before
me. I see his face. You know that
every time, maybe not every time, but from time to time, he's talking
to Bathsheba. That has to come to mind, what
he did. My sins ever before me, but listen,
thank God it's never before him. It's gone. It's gone. My sins have all been
taken away. Nathan said, the Lord, Jehovah,
has put away your sins. They're gone. He's put away.
He's put it away. And you're not going to die.
You're going to live. Now in verse 4 we see the exceeding
sinfulness of sin. Against thee and thee only have
I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight, that thou mightest
be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. The exceeding sinfulness of sin.
What is it? This is what it is. It is against
God. It is against God. It is against
all that He is. Holy, just, gracious, merciful. Here's the exceeding sinfulness
of sin. It's who it is against. God. God. David's sin was against Uriah.
That's right. It was against his whole family.
His whole house suffered for what he did. He had one son that
raped his daughter, and then the other son killed him, and
then Absalom tried to take David off the throne, all because of
what happened here. He said, The sword will never
leave your house. But David knows, he knows that
what he did to Uriah And his whole family, he knew that was so wicked. And it was so
painful. It was so painful. But he knew
that the very wickedness of sin was what he did against God. Oh, I tell you, the Lord is merciful
to us. How often has He fed us, clothed
us, takes care of us, Like David said, I have done
this evil in thy sight, right in his face. We still do it. That's the wickedness of sin.
It's who it's against. Notice something else here in
this verse. David said that thou mightest be justified when thou
speakest and be clear when thou judgest. Here's true repentance. David justifies God in his judgment. Whatever you do with me, Lord,
is right. Whatever you do to me. Whatever you do to me. The sword never left his house.
Lord, you're right. Your judgments are right. He
justified God. True repentance always justifies
God in His judgments. Always. Then David gives us the
root of the matter. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity,
and sin did my mother conceive me." You know, there's different
growth patterns. You know, I've watched my boys
grow up and watched my grandkids grow up, and you see them go
through different growth spurts, and they have different levels
of understanding. David really, really understood
something now of human nature. David really began to understand. Now, he understood something
of this, just as you who believe the gospel. You understand something
of your nature. But God let David really step
into it. And David said, behold, give
attention to this. I was shaping an inequity. My
beginning was bad. And in sin did my mother conceive
me." My nature. He said, my very nature, what
I am, is wicked, depraved, evil. What I am. Dave is not blaming
his parents. He's not saying, like Adam did,
well, it's the woman you gave me. That's her fault. And it's yours for giving it
to me. Giving her to me. But Dave is not blaming his parents.
But what he's saying is, I am vile. I am vile. I'm a vile person. You know,
he thought, how many times he had to think, how did I do that?
How could I have done that? And he says, here's how I could
have done that. I was born in sin and shaped
in iniquity. That's how. And that's exactly
how you and I can do it, if God lets us do it. We'll do it. He said, Behold, thou desirest
truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden parts thou shalt
make me to know wisdom. There is no need to lie to myself
or to you concerning what I am. I know it, and God knows it.
He knows it even more than I know it. He knows it perfectly. Thou desirest truth, listen,
thou desirest truth in the inward parts. God is a God of truth.
He cares not for pretense. We can fool each other. We can
put on a show. We can fool each other. We can
never fool God. He's a God of truth. He desires truth in the
inward parts. He looks on the heart. He looks
on the heart. Just be honest with God. As I
heard Henry say one time, honest people don't go to hell. They
do not go to hell. God deals in truth, He deals
in sincerity, He deals in righteousness. But now listen, not only does
God desire truth in the inward parts, He puts truth in the inward parts. In the hidden part thou shalt
make me to know wisdom. What He desires, He gives. He puts truth in the hidden parts,
in the inner man, that new man. He puts truth in there. It is written in John 6, 45,
it is written in the prophets, and they shall be all taught
of God. That's how He puts truth in the
inward parts, by His Spirit, through regeneration To the new
nature, God teaches. And in teaching, He puts truth
in the inward parts. Now David is going to ask God
to do what he cannot do for himself. He says here, Purge. Purge me
from my sins. Purge me. What does it say in
Hebrews? Chapter 1, that He hath by Himself
purged us from our sins. He's asking God to do that which
God has promised to do. Purge me with hyssop and I shall
be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter
than snow. Isn't that something? Can you
not hear faith just screaming here? Here is a man, and I believe
that it is on his hands and knees, weeping bitterly and saying,
Lord, if you, if you purge me with hyssop. Hyssop, they take
it and they dip it in that blood and water and they would sprinkle
it. Turn over to Leviticus 14. Let
me just read it to you. It's easier to read it than to
explain it. Here's what he's alluding to,
the leper, the leper. What'd I say? Leviticus 14. Here's what he's alluding to,
the cleansing of a leper and the Lord, because that's what
he felt. David felt like a leper, unclean, unclean. He felt it. And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying, This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his
cleansing. He shall be brought unto the
priest, and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. And
the priest shall look, and behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed
in the leper, then shall the priest command to take for him
that is to be cleansed, two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood
and scarlet and hyssop. And the priest shall command
that one of the birds be killed. in an earthen vessel over running
water. As for the living bird, he shall
take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop,
and shall dip them, and the living bird, in the blood of the bird
that was killed over the running water. And he shall sprinkle
upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times,
and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird
loose into the open field. And he that is to be cleansed
shall wash his shave off all his hair, wash himself in water
that he may be clean. And after that, he shall come
into the camp and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven
days. He said, Lord. I'm going to go
to the priest and we're going to do this ceremony. No, he said,
Lord, you do it. He said, Lord, you do it. You
do the cleansing. You cleanse me by the blood of
the Lord Jesus Christ. You cleanse me by the blood of
the Lamb. He knew. He knew there was one greater
than the type that was going to do the cleansing, whose blood
would be shed. I believe David knew that. He
said, Lord, you cleanse me. And if you cleanse me, I'll be
whiter than snow. Lord, you cleanse me. He knew
that. David knew that there was a way
to be restored to those privileges which he lost by sin. And that
way was through the sprinkling of the blood. And he said, Lord,
you cleanse me. Sprinkle me with that blood of
the Lamb and I'll be clean. Forgiveness and cleansing is
not by repentance. It's not by just any old way. It's through the blood of the
Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, if I could just get the ear
of sinners and say, you can be cleansed of all your sins through
the blood of the Lamb. Gone. Gone. Only through the blood of Christ
can I be made whole. It is the blood that makes atonement
for the soul. It is the blood that quiets the
conscience. Then he says, wash me, and I
shall be whiter than snow. Here's the cry of faith. Wash
me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Even though David fell,
David believed. He never quit believing. He fell. God allowed him to do it. He
saw what a wretch he was, but he never quit believing. This
is a real trial of his faith. And he looks to the Lord, and
he says, Wash me. If you wash me, I'll be whiter
than snow. He doesn't question the power of the blood, like
the leper. The leper said, Lord, if you
will, you can make me whole. You can make me whole. Wash me. Listen. Give me real
spiritual purification. Oh, cleanse my soul. If the Lord will wash us from
our sins, we shall be whiter than snow. Do you really believe
that? Do you really believe it? If you do, it's because He's
washed you. It's because He has washed you.
And then listen here, and I'll try to hurry. Make me to hear. Now, listen, David's saying,
I will pardon, blot out my transgressions, wash me throughly. But Lord,
I want to know it. I want to know it. Make me to
hear joy and gladness. That the bones which thou hast
broken by your word, by conviction of sin, by your spirit, may rejoice
again, may rejoice. Sin makes us lose our spiritual
senses. It makes us lose our spiritual
senses. Sin messes us up. It messes us up. And I get that
vertigo from time to time. I get up and I'm just... I mean,
I'm dizzy and room spinning. That's because of sin. If it wasn't for sin, I wouldn't
get vertigo. David's saying here, make me
to hear joy and gladness. Make me to hear when I come here
and sit down. You've come here this evening.
You come here to hear the gospel. Lord, make me to hear. And make
me to hear joy and gladness. Don't just sit here and then
go home. But Lord, make me to hear something.
Make me hear something. David wants God to speak. See,
David's been doing all the speaking here. Now he's saying, Lord,
speak. You speak. You speak. He's been
doing all the talking. Now he wants to hear from God.
David wanted to hear God say, I am thy salvation. He wants to hear him say, come
unto me. He wants God to say, thy sins
be forgiven. That's a true repentant heart. David's not asking God to save
him all over again. It's not like he's lost now.
Save, loss, save, loss. That's not what he's doing. He's
not asking that. He's asking God to forgive and
restore the joy of the Lord that he had before he went astray.
That's what he's asking for. Oh, he says, hide thy face from
my sins. Don't look at them. Don't remember them. Hide thy
face from them. Turn from them. Because if you
don't, you'll have to hide your face from me. And listen, and do a work in
me. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit
within me. A constant heart, a constant
spirit, steady, steadfast, steadfast. That's what he's asking for.
A new heart and a right spirit are as necessary as being justified. It's necessary. Without these,
we cannot worship God. Without these, we will not worship
God. He said, listen, create in me. We are made a new creation
in Christ Jesus. David knows this. He knows that
this new heart, this new nature as we know it from the scriptures,
is the work of God. It's not something that we can
do. It's not something that we can muster up and create. And
it's something God does. And he says to God, create in
me a clean heart and renew a right spirit, a constant, a steadfast
spirit that I don't ever do this again. I don't ever want to do
this again. And cast me not away from thy
presence and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. Don't leave me.
Take not thy presence from me. Through sin, we can lose a sense
of God's presence. Now, he said, I'll never leave
thee nor forsake thee. But we can sure lose a sense of it.
We can lose the blessing of it. We can lose it. He told that
one church, if you don't straighten up, I'm going to come and remove
the candlestick. I'm going to remove the pastor, and then there
won't be a church here any longer. And take not thy Holy Spirit
from me. David knew he deserved to be cast away. But he says,
oh, please don't do that. Here's what he's asking. Listen.
Withdraw not the Holy Spirit's comfort. Withdraw not His counsel. Withdraw not His assistance. Lord, keep up the union. For if it depends on me, it will
fail. Lord, keep it up. Restore unto
me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me with Thy free spirit. Our salvation is sure in Christ,
but by sin we can lose the joy of it. Have you ever just become indifferent?
Really? Has there ever been a time when you've really just gone
through a spell where you're just indifferent? You've just
lost the joy of it. You've lost that zit that was there. Well, I can
assure you one thing. Sin's involved somewhere. Something's
involved somewhere that took it. If our affections leave one
thing, it's because they went to another. They went to another. They don't just float out there.
We put our affections on what has our attention. Then will I teach transgressors
Thy ways, and sinners shall be converted. And the only one who
can teach is the ones who have been taught. And you notice the humility here
of David? You notice the humility? Then will I teach transgressors
just like me. He put himself right down on
the same level. I've added that, just like me. But that's what
he's saying. Then I will teach transgressors thy way, the gospel,
the way of redemption, the way of forgiveness, the way of mercy. He said, Restore to me the joy
of thy salvation. Uphold me with thy free spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways, and sinners shall be
converted unto thee. They shall turn to thee. Deliver
me from blood guiltiness. Is not this whole human race
guilty of the murder of God's Son? Deliver me from blood guiltiness.
Judas went out and hanged himself. Lord, deliver me from that end.
Have mercy on me. Have mercy. Only God could deliver
from this sin, and He does it by the blood of
His Son. He delivers from blood guiltiness
by blood. By the blood of His Son. O Lord, open thou my lips, and
my mouth shall show forth thy praise. For thou desirest not
sacrifice. I give it. I give it. Oh, I give
it. Else would I give it. Thou delightest
not in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit, a broken and contrite spirit, O God, thou wilt not
despise. Oh, you're blessed if God's given
you this kind of heart, this kind of broken spirit. You are
blessed beyond measure. Do good, and thy good pleasure
unto Zion. Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt thou be pleased with sacrifices of righteousness,
with burnt offering, and whole burnt offering. Then shall they
offer bullocks upon thine altar." This is a psalm of true repentance
right here. Everyone who has experienced
that repentance that is of God can identify with David. Now
let me read one verse of Scripture in 1 Kings, and I quit. 1 Kings 15. Let me read these first few verses.
Now in the 18th year of King Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, reigned
Abijah over Judah. Three years reigned he in Jerusalem,
and his mother's name was Mekah, the daughter of Abishalom. And he walked in all the sins
of his father which he had done before him. And his heart was
not perfect with the Lord his God, as the heart of David his
father. Nevertheless, for David's sake
did the Lord his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem to set up
his son after him and to establish Jerusalem. He did it for David's
sake, because David did that which was right in the eyes of
the Lord, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded
him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah
the Hittite. David truly was a man after God's
own heart. He was allowed to do this sin
here that brought him I think this incident, no doubt, brought
David to really, really see what he was by nature. Not just a Jew, not just a descendant
of Abraham. He knew the Lord, but he'd really
come to know himself. He knew what a wretch he was.
Paul, not until after the Lord saved him, Paul said, O wretched
man, that I am. And that's what David's saying
in this psalm. But he's saying, Lord, You, Jehovah, can put away
my sins. You can blot them out. You can
wash me. You can make me white as snow
through the blood of the Lamb, the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Well, I wish some sinners would
hear that. All right, Mike.
