Deuteronomy chapter 10. I want to read a few verses to
you. I want to begin in the 10th chapter
of Deuteronomy here at verse 14 and read down through the
6th verse of the 11th chapter. Deuteronomy chapter 10. 14. Behold, the heaven, and the heaven
of heavens, is the Lord's, thy God, the earth also, with all
that therein is. 15 Only the Lord hath a delight
in your fathers, to love them, and he chose their seed after
them, even you, above all people, as it is this day. 16 Circumcise
therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked. For the Lord your God is God
of gods and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty and a terrible,
which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward. He doeth execute
the judgment of the fatherless and widows, and loves the stranger,
and giveth him food and raiment. Love ye therefore the strangers,
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Thou shalt fear
the Lord thy God. Thou shalt serve, and to him
shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. He is thy praise,
and he is thy God. He hath done for thee great and
terrible things, which thine eyes have seen. Thy fathers went
down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons, seventy persons. And now the Lord thy God hath
made thee as the stars of heaven from multitude. Therefore thou
shalt love the Lord your God. keep his charge, and his statutes,
and his judgments, and his commandments always. And know ye this day,
for I speak not with your children, which have not known, and which
have not seen the chastisement, the discipline, of the Lord your
God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
and his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of
Egypt, and to Pharaoh, and the king of Egypt, and to all his
And what he did unto the armies of Egypt, and to his horses,
and to his chariots, how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow
them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed
them unto this day. And what he did unto you in the
wilderness, until ye came unto this place. And what he did unto
Dathan and Ebiram, the sons of Eliab, the sons of Reuben, how
the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their
households and their tents and all the substance that was their
possession in the midst of Israel. But your eyes have seen the great
acts of the Lord which He did." When the Lord saves us, when
He makes Himself known to us, when He reveals Himself to us,
gives us grace to believe on Him. This is life eternal that
they might know thee. When we know Him and He gives
us life, and as we grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, it produces and stirs up in us emotions and
thoughts and reactions to God. A man can't be saved. A man can't
have the Spirit of Christ and not be stirred up within his
heart about Him. As we read, as we meditate, as
we hear sermons, as we worship the Lord, we experience these
emotions. Moses mentions five things here. that is mere response, they are
just a response to their knowledge of God, what God had taught them
as He brought them out of the land of Egypt, who the Lord was,
what He was like, what He had done. And the deeper knowledge
we have of the Lord in our hearts, the more we grow in grace and
knowledge of Him, the more these things are evident. in our hearts
and our lives. And he mentions five of them
here in verse 20 and verse 21. If we know the Lord, He has made
Himself known to us, we believe on Him, we have the Spirit in
our hearts crying, Father, Father. These things here that he mentions
in verse 20 and 21 are a mere response to that knowledge that
we have of Him, Him abiding within us. Notice these five things. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy
God. That's the first one. Him shalt
thou serve. That's the second one. To him
shalt thou cleave. That's the third one. You shalt
swear by his name. That's the fifth one. And he
is thy praise. There's the fifth thing. I know
there's more than these. Of course there's more than these.
Of course more things are stirred up in us. But these five things
are the five things that Moses mentions. And all these things
are apt to be regulated in our hearts and in our lives in proportion
as we know the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ our God. Example,
why do we fear Him? Why do we reverence Him? Because
we know Him. We know what kind of God He is.
We know what He's done for us. Why do we serve Him? Why do we
cling to Him? For the very same reason. We
know Him. We know who He is. What He's done. Why do I say
this? Because of what Moses says before
verse 20 and what he says after verse 20. What we see before verse 20 and
after verse 20 teaches us that these five things are basically
just a response from us of Him making Himself real to us, Him
saving us and abiding in us and teaching us of Himself, who He
is and what He's done for us. He tells us here in verse 14
and verse 17, what's God like? Who was their God? Who was their
God? Why would they fear God? Why
would they plead to Him? Why would they serve Him? Why
would they give praise to Him? Why would they swear by His name?
What was it that brought such a response from them towards
God and serving Him? Well, look here in verse 14 again
and verse 17. It's what they knew concerning
their God. Behold, the heaven and the heaven
of heavens is the Lord's, thy God, the earth also, with all
that therein is. The Lord your God is God of gods
and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, a terrible, which regardeth
not persons, and taketh not rewards." What kind of a God was their
God? Oh my, He was a high God. He
was a rich God. He was the possessor of heaven
and earth. He was a mighty God. There's
lords many, but this is the Lord of lords. There's little gods. This is their God. He's unique. He's solitary. He's God alone. He's the only eternal God, and
in all His eternal attributes, He's perfect. There's no God
like Him. He's high. That's what Moses
is telling them. There's no God like your God
for His greatness and highness and His attributes. And yet something else that he
says, you're about Him. And this is amazing in itself.
Look what else he tells us here in our text in verse 18. Look
how condescending that he is. He doeth execute the judgment
of the fatherless and widows, and loveth the stranger in giving
them food and raiment. What does he do? He condescends. He stoops. He bows down to be
mindful and consider those that are most neglected and most apt
to be abused in society, these orphans and the widows and the
strangers. The power of God, the greatness
of God, awakens in us a holy fear, doesn't
it? When we consider how great He
is, how high He is, God, the triune God in His eternal attributes,
it awakens in us a holy reverence, a holy fear. And His greatness,
listen to this, His greatness, when we realize that it's engaged
to protect the most vulnerable, the fathers, the widows, the
strangers, this inspires us to the greatest confidence. When
you see God's greatness, His Highness, that He's the Possessor,
He's rich, you see Him in His attributes, His perfection, His
power, and yet you see Him condescend to be mindful of you and to exercise and execute that
power in your protection to uphold you and guard you and to save
you, what does this produce in you? Not only a holy reverence,
but an absolute confidence in Him. And an attitude that all
you do in your service for Him is not only with reverence and
regard, but you seek to glorify Him in everything you do in His
cause. Serve the Lord with fear. and
rejoice with the trembling. But there's something amazing
about this, and for years I've studied this, and this is what
I've never been able to get over, this thing about who He is, His
Highness, His Greatness, and yet, His willingness to condescend,
not to the mighty of this earth, but to the weak, to the nobodies,
to the nothings, the most vulnerable and the most abused among us.
Listen to what David said in Psalm 138, verse 4. All the kings
of the earth shall praise Thee, O Lord. When they hear the words
of Thy mouth, yea, they shall sing in the ways of the Lord.
For great is the glory of the Lord, though the Lord is high,
yet hath He respect unto the lowly. Now, isn't that amazing?
Though He has Though He so high, He hath respect unto the lowly."
And you know what this does. This produces in us a fear, a
holy reverence. And it produces reverence not
only for His greatness, but for His goodness in condescending
to us. Moses reminds them, secondly,
of something else. who God is in His greatness,
the possessor of heaven and earth, and yet condescended to the weakest
and the most vulnerable. But here in verse 21, He reminds
them of all the things the Lord has done for them. And He calls
them great and awesome things. Look what He said in verse 21. He is thy praise and He is thy
God. He hath done for thee these great
and awesome things which thine eyes have seen. Great and awesome
things. He's done for you. And boy, they
remembered them, didn't they? A lot of these things, they remembered
them. But one of the things, look here, he says in verse 22,
one of the things he reminds them of is this. Thy fathers
went down to Egypt with seventy persons. And now look at you,
you see. What's the Lord done with you
now? Look at your number now. You're as the stars of heaven
for your multitude. Ain't that amazing? They went
down to Egypt, just 70 people, and they mistreated them something
awful after Joseph died, made slaves out of them. But now,
after 40 years out here in this wilderness, Moses said, your
number is as the stars. In other words, they had multiplied.
God had multiplied them. What has God done for His church?
Look how He's added to His church. He's done great things for His
church. You and I are small, but He's added us to His church.
We are among a number that no man can number. We started out
with 120 people. That's how big our group was.
And look at us now. You say, well, we're so small.
I beg your pardon. The Lord has added us to a number
that's as the stars of heaven. A number no man can number. He's
done great things for his people. We're off. We're glad. And here
in verses 2 through verse 5, he reminds them of chapter 11,
verse 2 to verse 5. He reminds them of something
else. He says here, and let me read
it to you again, You know this day, for I speak not with your
children, I'm not talking about those who the Lord has not yet
saved and revealed Himself to, which have not seen the discipline
of the Lord your God, His greatness, His mighty hand and His stretched
out arm, His miracles and His acts which He did in the midst
of Egypt and to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, all His land, and what
He did unto the armies of Egypt, to their horses, the chariots,
how He made the waters of the Red Sea to overflow them as they
pursued after you, and how the Lord destroyed them unto this
day, and what He did unto you in the wilderness until you came
unto this place." Now, what's Moses telling them? He said,
He's done for you these great and mighty things. Then He takes
them all the way back to the Lord bringing them out of Egypt,
delivering them from Pharaoh. And what Moses is telling them
here God was so determined to deliver you because He loved
you and because He chose you to be His people that He spared
nothing. He was so determined that He
spared nothing. He had such a will and determination
to deliver you whatever power it took, whatever wisdom it took,
whatever miracles it took. Having many of your enemies that
needed to be destroyed, He spared nothing to save you. That's exactly
what He's telling you. This is how determined God was.
This was His purpose, to deliver this people. Even He said to
discipline you. He chastised you. He taught you
and sometimes the first thing He did was laid the rod upon
your back just to get your attention. whatever it took to save you
and bring you to this place, to the land of Canaan. That's
exactly what God did. What does it take to save a sinner?
What does it take to save an elect sinner? Whatever it takes,
God will execute it. He'll spur nothing. It may be
mighty kings. He'll drown them to save His
people. It may be a mighty nation. He'll
destroy it. to save His people. His people
may be rebellious and stiff-necked, but He'll break them. He'll chasten
them sore. He'll teach them to save them. What miracles of grace and determination
and willpower we see in God when we consider ourselves. Look. Look what He's done for us, brothers
and sisters. Look where you were when He found
you. Look at the darkness you were
in. Look how you love the devil and his sinful ways. Look how
hard your heart was. But look at you now. You say,
Bruce, I'm not what I want to be. But you're not what you used
to be. Are you? And you're sure not what you're
going to be. What has the Lord done for us to save us? He spared
not His own Son, did He? Look at the labor. Look at the
groans. Look at the tears. Look at Jesus Himself, our Lord,
breathing out His last breath, saying, My God, My God, why hast
Thou forsaken Me? What has the Lord done to save
us? Whatever He took. Whatever He
took. Don't that have a tendency to
win your heart? Don't that have a tendency for
you to have this holy reverence of Him and His goodness? To cleave
unto Him? See how these things, they just
respond. I don't understand it, but sometimes
when I'm sitting under a message, I have all of these emotions. There's nothing that stirs up
the emotions of the soul like the preaching of the gospel,
like the reading of His Word. And it challenges us to respond
to Him, doesn't it? He's always challenging us to
respond to Him. And that's why we need to hear
about it. and hear what great things He's done for us. Because
it does challenge us to fear Him, to reverence Him, to plead
to Him. Sometimes when our grip gets
a little weak, well, we'll hear something or we'll read something.
What does that make us do? Get another hold on it. Get another
grip. Consider this in verse 6 of chapter
11. This is something else. Boy,
I bet you when the children of Israel thought of this, their
emotions were stirred. I bet you this produced a response. Look what he says. And what he
did unto Dathan, Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the sons of Reuben,
how the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up. their
households and their tents and all the substance that was in
their possessions went down in the midst of that earth. Remember
that occasion when these men exalted themselves against Moses?
They said, You take too much upon you. All of us are God's
people. All of us are holy people. And
the Lord just opened the earth up, sent His judgment upon these
ungodly men right there in the midst of the camp. And boy, they
remembered the Lord's judgment, taking these people away. I don't
know how you feel, but you probably feel about like I do. We have
had some people from time to time to come with us and join
with us at least for a while. And boy, some went away. It's
not that they went off to worship another place that we could be
happy for them. But we've had some that has left
the Lord altogether. And you know what? You know,
as we look at that and consider that, we know that could have
been us. That could have been us. The
lust, their lust got the better of them. This world and its appeal
and temporal advantage got the best of them. And the Lord let
them go. He let them have their way. And
He sent judgment upon them. And we see them sometimes, don't
we? And we look at them. And what happens? What do we
say? Oh, Lord, don't let me leave you. And we get a faster hold
of them, don't we? It makes us afraid. We see some
whose understanding has darkened and they've gone and they've
got all mixed up in all kinds of perverted doctrines and all
of this. We've seen them. We know them. Boy, it just gives us this determination,
this response that we fear Him and plead to Him and praise Him. Let's consider these five things
right quickly. It will just take me a few minutes.
Just a few minutes. Be patient with me for a few minutes. Let's
consider these five things now right quickly. In verse 20. Verse
21 of chapter 10. Thou shalt therefore fear. Thou
shalt therefore. Thou shalt fear the Lord thy
God. Fear. Reverence. A holy reverence.
A holy regard. This is an essential grace. And I think probably it's the
first grace of the sinner's heart. It's the first working of grace
in a person's heart. The fear of the Lord is the beginning. It's the beginning of wisdom.
Paul was preaching and he said it like this, Whosoever among
you that feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation
sin. Why did he say that like that? I think it's to teach us
that no one ever believed the gospel until he first Feared
the Lord. No one ever come to God by Jesus
Christ except those who feared Him. So this fear is the very
beginning of salvation and grace. The very beginning. This is one
of the graces, therefore, that makes our service acceptable. This is why He uses it first. Fear the Lord thy God and serve
Him. Without first fearing Him, no
service could be acceptable. Listen to Hebrews chapter 12
and verse 28. Let us have grace whereby we
may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire.
Reverence and godly fear. That is the service that is acceptable
to God. Therefore, that is why He begins
in our hearts by making us fear Him. making us reverence Him.
David said in Psalm 2, serve the Lord with fear and rejoice
with trembling. Serve Him with this holy reverence
respect. This is why it is placed here,
I imagine, at the very first. Two things that shows a child
reverence is his dad. And when I talk about fear now,
I am not talking about this old legal fear. I'm not talking about
if I don't do this, I'm afraid God's going to send me to hell.
That's an illegal bondage that you and I have when we're lost.
We're talking about a holy respect, a holy reverence. And there's
two ways that you can tell that your son reverences you. One, when you tell him something,
he listens to you. When you give him instructions,
he listens to you. He respects you as your dad.
And secondly, He seeks to do something just exactly like you
told Him. That's what happens when a son
reverences his dad. He hears you. He listens. And he seeks to do it just exactly
like you told him to do it. It's this kind of fear that leads
to service that's acceptable. The Lord speaks to us. He gets
our attention. And He says, do it like this.
And because we respect Him and reverence Him, we seek to do
it just exactly like He said. It is this fear that keeps us
from seeking merely to please men. And we do it wholly to please
God. Nobody is looking. He is. Nobody cares. He does. He does. Nobody knows. He knows. He knows. And He's taught us that He knows.
He's taught us that He cares. And that's why when we do something,
a service that's acceptable, we do it with this godly reverend.
Listen to Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 5. Servants, be obedient
to them that are your masters according to the flesh with fear
and trembling, in singleness of your heart as unto Christ. Do it like you are doing it for
Him. Not with eye service as men-pleasers,
but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the
heart. From the heart. Not everybody
that says unto me, Lord, Lord, is going to heaven, but he that
does the will of my Father which is in heaven. And how do we do
that in fear and reverence? You and I can be light-hearted
with one another, and we often are, and that's fine. We love
to joke, don't we, and carry on. Wanda loves to joke and carry
on. She's full of jokes and light-heartedness.
And I love that. But boy, when it comes to serving
God, when it comes to getting down to seeking His will, that's
serious ain't it? That's something we do with reverence
and godly fear. And listen, this is what David
said about the fear of the Lord and our worship, not only service,
but our worship. Listen to Psalms 5-7. As for
me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercies,
and in thy fear will I worship towards thy holy temple. In thy
fear will I worship. I'll worship with regard to you. I worship with this deep respect
in my soul for you. The fear of the Lord. The Lord
is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints and to
be had in reverence. You know why we do our worship
services like we do them. Why aren't we up running around?
Why don't everybody jump up and start talking and doing things?
Why do we keep flesh subdued and beat down? We fear Him. We fear Him. Solomon said, listen, when you
come into the house of God, you let your words be few. Watch
what you say. Watch what you do. Watch what
you think. Because God is in heaven and
we are upon this earth. We worship Him. We serve Him.
Serve the Lord with fear and worship Him with fear. Look at
the next one. We covered those two. Fear Him
and serve Him. Fear Him and serve Him. And look
at this. To Him shall thou cleave. There are some words in here
that I guess the English word, they probably had to write out
a whole sentence, maybe a short paragraph, to cover the meaning
of this one word. And that's the way this word
is. Look this word cleave up sometimes. It's amazing what
it means. I wrote down these things. And
look how progressive. It's a unique word. It means
to follow hard after. To follow hard after. And then
the next thing, to overtake. To catch by pursuit. It's to follow hard after the
Lord. And you pursue Him until you've caught Him. But it doesn't
stop there. It means to be joined to, and
then to stick, so never to be separated. Now, ain't that an
amazing word? You see why sometimes our poor
translators have such a tough time with these Hebrew words
and Greek words? Because our English language is different. But boy, here's a Word. Here's
a Word. To follow hard after the Lord
Jesus Christ. To catch up to Him. To be joined
to Him. To be united to Him. And then
to stick to Him. Never to let Him go. Cleave. Cleave to Him. And this is a
New Testament Word. Acts 11, verse 23. Remember when
those at Antioch had heard the Gospel? Men went everywhere preaching
the Gospel. And there was a multitude at
Antioch. That was a large church. And
they had heard the gospel. And the apostles sent Barnabas
down there to instruct them and preach to them and get them established. Barnabas went down up to Antioch
and he saw the grace of God. And here's what the Bible says
he did. He exhorted them that with purpose of heart they should
cleave to the Lord. Cleave to Him. Pursue hard after
Him. When you've caught up with Him,
be united to Him and stick to Him. Don't let anything tear
you or shake you loose from Him. Plead unto the Lord with purpose
of heart. I want to show you a good example
of this. If you'll hold Deuteronomy right quick and turn over to
Ruth. Turn over to Ruth. I tell you, my mind is so blank. I can't even find Ruth. Now, you think you have problems? Where is Ruth? What? Well, now if I can find Joshua. I thought somebody moved this
off. Ain't this awful? Steve still ain't found it? Steve, bless your heart. Ruth
chapter 1. Ruth chapter 1. I want you, this
is a beautiful example of what it means to plead to the Lord. Look in Ruth chapter 1. This is where Naomi was going
back to Jerusalem. Her husband was dead, her two
sons was dead, and her daughter-in-law said, we're going back with you.
And look what she told them here in Ruth chapter 1 in verse 8.
And Naomi said unto her two daughters-in-law, Go return each to your mother's
house. The Lord deal kindly with you,
as he hath dealt with the dead and with me. The Lord grant you
that ye may find rest, each of you, in the house of your husband.
Then she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice and wept.
And they said unto her, We will return with thee unto thy people.
And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters. Why will you go with
me? Are there any more sons in my
womb that they may be your husbands? Turn again, my daughters. Go
your way, for I am too old to have none husband. If I should
say I have hope, if I should have none husband, also tonight,
and should also bear sons, would you tarry for them till they
were grown? Would you stay for them from
having husbands? Nay, my daughters, for it grieveth
me for your sakes that the hand of the Lord is gone out against
me." They lifted up their voice and wept again. And Oprah kissed
her mother-in-law, but Ruth clave unto her." There's that word.
There's that word. Naomi's trying to drive her back.
And she won't leave her. She clave unto her. And she said,
Behold, thy sister-in-law is gone back unto her people and
unto her gods. Return thou after thy sister-in-law. And Ruth said, Entreat me not
to leave thee, or to return from following after thee. For whether
you go, I'll go. Whether you lodge, I will lodge.
Thy people shall be my people, and thy God shall be my God.
Will you die, will I die. And there will I be buried, the
Lord do so to me, and also, more also, if aught but death part
thee and me." Now that's what it means to cleave. That's what
it means to cleave. When the Lord Jesus said to Peter,
Peter, you go away. You go away. That's what Peter
said. Lord, don't entreat me to leave
you. I've got nowhere else to go. I've got nobody else. I'm an orphan. I don't have a
father if you're not my father. I'm a widow if you're not my
husband. I don't have a husband. I'm a stranger and you're my
best friend. Lord, I'm not leaving you. What
was Peter doing? He was cleaving to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Cleaving. Why should we cleave
to Him? Well, think of it. What's the
greatest evil that you could imagine? Is it not believing
God? Ain't that the greatest evil
you could imagine? That's why we cleave unto Him.
We don't want to leave Him. Cleave to Him as your chief support. Because without Him, you're going
to sink. Now, I assure you of that. Without Him, you'll sink. Cleave to Him as your keeper.
For without Him your soul is lost. Cleave to Him as your strength,
because without Him you can do nothing. Cleave to Him as your
direction, because without Him you're going astray. Cleave to
the Lord Jesus Christ. That's what He said. That's what
He said. And here's what Moses told these
people in Deuteronomy chapter 4 and verse 4. He said, every
one of you that cleave to the Lord, you're alive unto this
day. Those that left Him, He destroyed
them. But every one of you that cleave to Him, you're alive. That's a precious promise, ain't
it? That's a promise. Cleave to Him in life, and you'll
never die. Cleave to the Lord. What's the
fourth one? You don't have to turn back over
there. I'll read it to you. Swear by His name. What does that mean,
swear by His name? Does that mean we actually swear,
we take an oath? Really, that's not what he's
talking about. It may include that, but what
an oath means is it's settled. It's settled. An oath is a solemn
affirmation that something is so, that it's true. Hebrews 6
says, an oath for confirmation is an end of all strife. If Terence tells me he's going
to do something, if he says, Bruce, I swear to you, this is
what I'll do, then that settles it, doesn't it? He's taken an
oath. That settles it. What he means
here, when you say something about the Lord, then you mean it. When you say
He's God, Hmm? You ever hear somebody say
he's God? I used to listen to a fella come
on the radio and he said the same thing. He had the little
line. He said, the sovereign ruler, he said, of heaven and
earth. He was a Methodist. He knew nothing
about God's sovereignty. He didn't mean that. When you
talk about the sovereignty of God, when you talk about the
redemption that's in Christ Jesus, when you talk about His calling
you and keeping you, you mean that, don't you? You affirm it. It's just like you took an oath.
You swear by His name. We don't play with God. We don't
play with His Word. When He says it, that's it. That's
it. And what we say about Him is
exactly what we mean. That's all this is saying. Swear
by His name. Whatever you say about Him, let
it be the truth and let it be confirmed. Let that be it. And
His praises. Live in His praises. He is thy
praise. When the Lord calls us, what
does He call us to do? He calls us to praise Him, doesn't
He? That's why He calls us to praise
Him. This is why you and I should live in His praises. Get up in
the morning and praise Him that it's another day. When the snowflakes
fall from heaven, praise Him that He sent it. When it's so
cold we have to bundle it with extra clothes, praise Him for
doing it. Let everything that hath breath
praise the Lord. How much more the children of
God should praise Him every day? We are a holy nation, a peculiar
people, purchased people, that you should show forth the praises
of Him who hath called you out of darkness unto His marvelous
light. Lord, save your people that we
may render thanks to your name and live in your praise." I think
we're short there, don't you? And I think probably we need
to hear more about how great our Lord is, what He's done for
us. We need to consider this in our
hearts. And every day, Live in His praises. What in the world
do we have to complain about? Old Scott Richard used to say,
I've never heard any bad news since I heard the good news. Ain't true, ain't it? Let everything
that hath breath... Do you have the breath of life
in you? Has He breathed into your soul and given you life
everlasting? Then praise Him. Praise Him for
everything. Now you've got my permission
next time you hear me grumbling. Say, are you praising the Lord
again? That's what we'll start. Every time I hear some of you
grumbling, groaning, I'm going to say, are you over there praising
the Lord again? Praise ye the Lord. Let everything
that hath breath praise ye the Lord.
