Our message this evening is taken
from Psalm 144. And again, notice the title there,
A Psalm of David. A Psalm of David. David, a man
after God's own heart. David, a man anointed of God
to be the king of Israel. David, indeed, was used of God
and blessed of God. I'm entitling the message from
the words in the last verse of this psalm. And I'm calling this
message, entitling this message, Happy, Happy. Happy, Happy. Look at verse 15. Happy is that
people that is in such a case, blessed of God, yea, happy. Happy
is that people whose God is the Lord. God our Savior. Look right across the page in
Psalm 146 for a minute, look at verse 5. Happy is he, happy
is that sinner, that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose
hope is in the Lord his God. One of the many names that our
God is known by, this one I believe is the one that is most used,
the God of Jacob. the God of Jacob. Happy is that
man that hath the God of Jacob for his help, for his salvation. Now this word happy can also
be rendered blessed, blessed. God's covenant people are indeed
blessed in Christ Jesus. You remember from Ephesians chapter
1, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who
had blessed us, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessing
in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. God's people are blessed in Christ
Jesus and they are happy. They are content with Christ
Jesus. Happy in Christ and blessed. happy in the Lord Jesus Christ
and indeed blessed of God." Again, this is another Psalm of David.
Much of this Psalm is repeated from what is said in 2 Samuel
22. You can read that at some point. When David had been given
the victory over the many enemies of Israel, he sat down and the
Lord gave him these words, of praise, adoration unto God. He was always ready, willing,
and quick to give God all the honor and glory for any victory
he had won. Who gets the credit? Not David. David knew that. David knew it
was God who had blessed him with the victory. Such is the case
of every sinner redeemed by the blood of Christ. Saved by His
sovereign grace. Brought out of darkness and bondage
into His marvelous light. Brought out of darkness and bondage
into the liberty and freedom we have in Christ Jesus. So what
do we do? Give ourselves credit? Oh no. Oh no. God forbid. God forbid that we should glory
except in the Lord Jesus Christ. we sing that song often to God
be the glory great things he has done great thing now as we
look at this song I pray the Lord will bless us this evening
and bless his word to our heart now let's consider verse 1 blessed
be the Lord the Lord Jehovah God my Savior Blessed be the
Lord who's my strength. My strength. He teaches me how
to fight. My hands, how to war. My fingers,
how to fight. David, and every believer can
say, the Lord is my strength. He is my strength. You remember
back over here, turn back to Psalm 46. Someone asked me recently, one
of the neighbors here who knew that I was trapped in the house
during the flood in 2010, and he asked me, he said, how did
you stay in that house? I said, well, didn't really have
a whole lot of choice, I was trapped. But I gave him this
scripture verse, I said, I said, the Lord gave me grace. Psalm
46 verse 1, God is our refuge and strength of every present
help in trouble. He is our refuge. He is our strength. Now, notice what David says here. Not only does our Lord Jehovah
give strength to His saints, but He is our strength. He is our strength. hold your
place there and look one more place over here in Philippians
Philippians chapter 4 Philippians chapter 4 look at verse 12 I know how to
be at base Philippians 4.12 I know how to abound everywhere and
all things I'm instructed both to be full and to be hungry both
to abound in the supper need I can do all things through Christ
who strengthens me." He's our strength. Christ is our strength. I know how to abound and I know
how to be abased. Christ is our strength. Now consider
this, the Lord Jesus Christ is the strength of our salvation,
isn't He? He is the strength and the power
of our salvation. I was working on the Bible study
for Sunday morning from Hebrews chapter 2 We talked about how
shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ is the
strength of our salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ is the
strength of our atonement for sin. He's the strength of our,
it's who He is that gives infinite value to what He did. He is the
strength of our atonement. When He had by Himself purged
our sin. That down on the right hand of
God. Not only that, He's the strength of our, and we could
go on, this list would be endless, wouldn't it? He's the strength
of our righteousness. He's the strength of our righteousness.
Turn back to Psalm 71, 16. He is the Lord, our righteousness. Oh, we have a strong righteousness.
He's the strength of it. Because He is our righteousness. He is our salvation. He is our
atonement for sin. Psalm 71, Luke verse 16, I'll
go in the strength of the Lord. I will make mention of thy righteousness,
even thine only. He is the Lord, our righteousness. Oh, we have a strong salvation. We have a strong atonement. We have a strong righteousness
because we have a strong Almighty Sovereign King. Now notice back
in the text that word strength in verse 1 of Psalm 144 can also
be rendered, He's my rock. He's my rock. He's our strong
foundation. He's the rock upon which we rest. He's the rock upon which we build.
The Lord said in Isaiah 28, remember? Behold, I lay in Zion for foundation
a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone. He that believeth
rests on him shall never be forced off, never be ashamed or forced
to flee. Other foundation can no man lay
than that which he hath laid." The Lord is our strength. He's
our rock. We have great salvation in Him. Now look at the second part of
verse 1. Our Lord, who is our strength, He teaches us. He teaches us. All those who
have heard and learned of the Father come to Christ. He teaches
us. To war and to fight. What's he
talking about here? To war and to fight. He gives
us hands, marvelous hands, marvelous fingers. Instruments that God
uses, God gives us to use. He teaches us to use what he
has given us. Hands and fingers. What marvelous
creation God has given unto us. To war and to fight. Not only
to earn a living, and thank God He gives us hands to earn a living,
but also to war and to fight. Now I take that to mean not so
much punching people, fighting people that way, but I take that
to mean to war and to fight for God's purpose and grace. To battle for the gospel, to
wage a good warfare, to fight the good fight of faith. David
was a mighty warrior to wage war against the enemies of God.
So too has the Lord called us to contend for the faith. Hasn't he? Has he not? To war
and to fight for the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. To stand
strong and to war a good warfare. As the Apostle Paul said, we
read earlier in 2 Timothy 4, I fought a good fight. I fought
a good fight. He had some enemies. He didn't
back down. God blessed him in many, many
ways. You know the Lord has given us
some mighty weapons to wage this war? Turn over here to Ephesians
chapter 6. He's given us mighty weapons.
He's not left us defenseless. He's given us the sword of the
Spirit. The weapons of our warfare are
not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. You remember 2 Corinthians chapter
10 he's given us some mighty mighty weapons look at Ephesians
chapter 6 verse 11 put on the whole armor of God that you may
be able to stand against the wiles of the devil for we wrestle
not against flesh and blood but against principalities against
powers against the rulers of darkness of this world against
spiritual wickedness and high places put on the whole armor
of God that you can fight Wherefore take unto you the whole armor
of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the day of evil,
having done all to stand. Stand therefore, having your
loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate
of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of
the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield
of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked. Take the helmet of salvation,
and the sword of the Spirit, which is a word of God praying
always with all prayer and supplication watching therein to with all
perseverance and supplications we're in a warfare God has given
us hands he teaches us to war and to fight for the cause of
God's purpose and grace the cause of God in truth. Look at verse
2, the Lord is not only our strength But He's our goodness. You see
that verse 2? My goodness, my fortress, my
high tower, my deliverer, my shield, and He in whom I trust,
who subdueth my people under me. That's subduing grace. Conquering grace. The Lord is
not only our strength, but He's our goodness. He's our goodness. The Lord is not only good, but
He is goodness itself. the author and provider of all
goodness." This word can also be rendered, this word goodness
can also be rendered mercy. Mercy. The Lord is our mercy. The Lord is the God of our mercy. He's the God of our mercy. He
is our mercy seat. That's where God said, I'll meet
with sinners and where sinners will meet with me in that mercy
seat and that's Christ. The reason of mercy is found
only in Him. He is a fountain. He is a wellhead
of mercy. The Lord is my mercy. The Lord is my mercy seat. You
remember from Lamentations chapter 3, where Jeremiah said, watching
the destruction of that city, He said it is of the Lord's mercies
that we are not consumed because his compassion fail not It's
not by work of righteousness, which we have done but according
to his mercy he saved us 2nd Peter talks about 2nd Peter 5
10. He's a God of all grace and Then 2nd Corinthians 1 verse
3 said he's a father of mercies and the God of all comfort comfort. He's a father of mercies Mercy
begins with Him. He's the wellhead of mercy, the
spring of mercy. So the Lord is our strength,
the Lord is our goodness, the Lord is our mercy. Look what
it says secondly in verse 2, my fortress, my high tower. My
fortress and my high tower. Now you know what a fort is and
what a high tower is, it's a place of defense. It's a place of security. Those old cities were all walled
cities. High, big, thick walls. Why? Well, to keep the enemy out. And on that walled city they
had high towers. To sound the alarm. The enemy
approaches. Well, the Lord Jesus Christ is
our defense. And He's our security. He is
a wall of fire round about His people. The Lord our God is our
advocate. When we sin, we have an advocate
with the Father. He's our defense. He is our mediator. He is our defense. One God and
one mediator between God and man. He is our advocate, our
mediator. And He ever lived to make intercession
for us. He is our defense. He's my fortress. He's my high
tower. Not only that, but look on. He's
my. Now notice, He's very personal. He's my goodness. He's my strength. He's my fortress. Every believer
can claim this to himself. He's mine. He's mine. The Lord is mine and I am His.
Not only my goodness, my fortress, my high tower, my deliverer. He's my deliverer and my shield. He's my protection. This is exactly
what the Lord Jesus Christ is unto us. He is our Deliverer. He's our Redeemer. That's what
the word means. He delivers us, in whom we have
redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sin, according
to the riches of His grace. Since He has delivered us by His power, He delivered us
from the power and guilt of sin, He will indeed shield us from His holy justice. There is therefore now no condemnation
to those who are in Christ Jesus. He that spared not His own Son,
if God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not
His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not
with Him also freely give us all things? What better shield
could you have? What better defense and deliverer
could you have? We've seen that word so many
times through our study in the Psalms. The Lord is our Deliverer. He's delivered us, delivered
us. In whom we trust He has, He will,
and He will yet deliver us from all harm. Now watch this. David said, I trust Him. I trust
Him whom I trust. It is good and right to trust
the Lord, not for some things, for everything. "...in whom I
trust." We're to trust Him at all times. You remember Psalm
62? Trust in Him at all times, ye people. Pour out your heart
before Him. God is a refuge for us. Now watch the last part of
this. David said, "...who subdues my
people under me." I looked at that a good while. And here's
what the Lord has given me. David looked to the Lord. He
was king over a vast empire. But he looked to the Lord. He
trusted the Lord to bring the rebel under his dominion. And
we look to the same Lord that David looked unto to conquer
the rebel and to grant repentant to subdue his people under him
and grant and give them faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We
don't try to subdue the rebel. That's what goes on in false
religion. They try to subdue people, buttonhole, corner people,
force them into a decision. Make a decision right now. I tell you, God subdues his people. Thy people shall be willing in
the day of God's power. As I said in the bulletin on
Sunday, I'm not afraid to preach the gospel of God's grace and
leave sinners in the hands of God. He is able to subdue the
people under Him. That's what David's saying there.
I trust Him to subdue my people under me. And I trust the Lord
to subdue His people. Make them submit to the gospel
of the Lord Jesus Christ. And then he says in these next
two verses, what a contrast between what Almighty Jehovah is, what
He is, Almighty God, Sovereign, Holy, and what man is. What a contrast. Lord, look at
verse 3, what is man? Come on now, what is man? That
thou takest knowledge of Him, or the Son of Man, and that means
Not referring to the Lord, but the best of men. Look over at
Psalm 146, he uses that phrase again, son of man. Put not your
trust in princes nor in the son of man in whom there's no help,
no salvation. You wouldn't trust yourself to
save yourself, would you? A wise man wouldn't. Lord, what
is man that thou takest knowledge of him? Or the son of man that
thou makest account of him? Man is like to vanity. His days
are like a shadow. A shadow. That's what our days
are. A shadow. A vapor that appears for a little
while and then it's gone. Psalm 39 talks about our days
as being a hand-breath. Not a whole lot of span from
here to here. A hand-breath is just a short span. Very short period of time. What
a contrast between Jehovah and man. The psalmist
turned from the glorious all-sufficient God to the insignificant and
nothingness of man. Man in his best state, all together,
zero. Vanity. Now I'm not real smart
in math, but if you had 10 million zeros and you add them all up,
or a gazillion, you still have nothing. Zero. Man individually
or collectively. The nations before him are as
nothing, a drop of the bucket, Isaiah 40. Man is nothing, has
nothing, can do nothing, and contribute nothing unto Almighty
God. Nothing. Nothing. Considering all that the Lord
God is, and what man is, now here's the miracle of the gospel. Here's the mystery of the gospel.
Considering all that the Lord God is, He's sufficient. He's almighty. He's eternal.
He doesn't need us. He doesn't need us. We need Him. What is man that He would ever
be mindful of us? and to take knowledge of such
a vile worm as we are, such as to choose us, redeem us, die
in our stead, make us object of His love, object of His grace."
What a mystery! That God would show mercy to
such as we are. That He should make man the subject
of election, the object of redemption, the child of His love, and the
child of His good providence, that He would make Himself known
unto us. Now, we've seen a similar statement
to this back in Psalm 8. Turn over there. What is man
that God would take knowledge of him? Psalm 8, look at verse
3, When I consider the heavens the work of thy fingers. Psalm
8, verse 3, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained,
what is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that
thou would visit him." We're going to see that statement again
in Hebrews chapter 2. What is man? That God would make
himself known unto us. He said in Matthew 11, He hid
these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them unto
babes. That He would take knowledge
of us so as to choose us So is there anything in us that would
cause Him to love us? Can we merit any gain in His
attention, draw His attention? Oh, no. Or nothing. Vanity. Zero. And yet the Lord chooses
to save us as we are. Man is like to vanity. Verse
4. His days are a shadow. A shadow. A shadow. Psalm 90, we read these words,
teaches to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom. The Apostle James writes, for
what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears
for a little time and then it vanishes away. Job says, my days
are swifter than a weaver's shuttle. Don't turn, let me just read
this to you in Job 14. Man that is born of woman is
few days and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower
and is cut down. He fleeth also as a shadow and
continueth not. And dost thou open thine eyes
upon such a one? It's a mystery of grace. Man,
what is man? Vanity, sinful, depraved, wicked,
ungodly. And yet the Lord is pleased to
reveal Himself to such as we are. What a mystery of grace! What a mystery of grace! You see, the Lord knows who we
really are. Brother Mahan used to say this, We're three different people.
Those who we think we are, those who others think we are, and
those who the Lord knows that we are. The Lord looked down
from heaven to see if there were any that did seek after Him.
He said, they're all gone out of the way. There's none good,
no, not one. You remember from Psalm 14? And yet the Lord is pleased to
save sinners, such as we are. Now, look at verse 5 down through
verse 8. Vow thy heavens, O Lord, come
down. Touch the mountains, and they
shall smoke. Cast forth lightnings, scatter
them, shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. Send thy hand
from above, rid me, deliver me out of great waters. from the
hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, their
right hand, a right hand of falsehood." Look at verse 11, "'Rid me, deliver
me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity,
and their right hand is the right hand of falsehood.'" David here
prays for deliverance, doesn't he? Rid me, rid me, deliver me. Oh, by the heavens, come down,
Lord, manifest your mighty hand. Some think David prays prophetically
about the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as God incarnate,
and He did come down. The Lord did come down and rid
and deliver His people from their enemies. He shall save them from
their sin. We do know in the fullness of
time the Lord did The Lord Jesus did exactly that. In the fullness
of time, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the
law to redeem them that were under the law. You remember from
John chapter 6 we studied, the Lord said, I came down from heaven,
not to do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me. Bow
the heavens, O Lord, come down. He did. He did. He did come down. He did touch the mountains and
they did smoke. And He did rid us of our enemies. He did deliver us from our sin. And here's what I see. As our
substitute, He did come down. As our substitute, He did endure
the lightning of God's wrath. Cast forth thy lightning and
scatter them. The arrows of His justice, they
were quenched in the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. He
took the great waters of our sins, you see that, in verse
7, to Himself. The Lord Jesus did endure the
talk of strange children, didn't He? Who accused Him of falsehood,
who accused Him of being a liar and a devil, a gluttonous man
and a drunk. Our blessed Lord did come. Our
Lord did rid us of our sin by the sacrifice of Himself. He
did deliver us from the holy justice of God when He died for
our sin. And as believers in this day,
we pray for His second coming, don't we, Lord? Even so, Lord,
you remember from our study in Isaiah, even so, Lord, come quickly
and rid me And deliver me from all my enemies. He will soon. Soon. Now look at verse 9 and
verse 10. I will sing. I will sing a new
song. It's not an old song. It's ever
new. It's ever new. And it's a song
of redemption by the blood, regeneration by the Spirit. I will sing the
new song unto thee, O God. With the instruments of strings,
I will praise thee. It is he that giveth salvation
unto kings, who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful
sword. By the Lord's grace, we learn this new song. We learn
this new song now, here and now. And we sing it here and now,
and we'll sing it forever unto Him who loved us and washed us
from our sin in His own blood. To Him be all the honor and glory
both now and forever. Now, we've seen this several
times in our study, but look back at Psalm 98, verse 1. Oh, sing, Psalm 98, verse 1.
Oh, sing unto the Lord. a new song for he had done marvelous
thing his right hand and his holy arm had gotten him notice
this word victory victory we sang the song not a defeat We
don't worship a defeated reformer, frustrated reformer. We worship
a victorious, conquering king. Remember from Revelation 6 verse
2, He went forth conquering and to conquer. He's King of kings
and Lord of lords. It is the Lord that giveth salvation. You see that? Verse 10. It is
He that giveth salvation unto kings. Now, I looked at that
word kings, it's plural, isn't it? Turn over here to Revelation
chapter 1. And here's the verse I thought
of. It is the Lord that giveth salvation unto his people who
he has made kings and priests unto our God. Revelation 1, look
at verse 5. Jesus Christ who is a faithful
witness the first begotten of the dead and the prince of the
kings of the earth unto him who loved us washed us from our sins
and his own blood and has made us kings and priests and Our
God and his father to him be glory and dominion forever and
ever We sing that new song look at chapter 5 they sung a new
song verse 9 thou art worthy to take the book and to open
the seals thereof, Revelation 5, 9, for thou was slain and
has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, tongue,
people, and nation, and has made us under our God kings and priests. And we shall reign on the earth. Is he, back to the text, verse
10, Psalm 144, it is he that giveth, giveth, salvation is a gift,
is it not? He giveth salvation unto his
people, to whom he has made kings and priests, who delivers David,
all of his Davids, his servants, his king, from the hurtful sword."
What is that hurtful sword? It's the sword of God's justice. He delivered us. delivered us. He's made us kings and priests
unto our God. We shall enjoy Him forever and
we shall enjoy what He has purchased for us. He's given us all grace
now and glory forever and ever. He giveth salvation. Now notice
the marginal reference on the word salvation. You see it there,
the marginal reference? Victory. That word is also victory. He gives us the victory. I often
think of that verse In 1 Corinthians 15, thanks be unto God who has
given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Believers
are living the victorious life. And it's not this silly thing
that false religion talks about, living above sin. That's not
what he's talking about. We have the victorious life in
Christ Jesus because He's the winner. He has won the battle. We are winners in Him. Everybody
enjoys being on the winning team. The Lord Jesus Christ, He's won
the victory. And we are victorious in Him.
Over sin, over death, over hell. He's given us the victory. He's
a victorious Lord. He knows nothing of defeat or
failure. Does He? rid me deliver me he has in Christ
Jesus now in verse 12 down to verse 14 these blessings here
are based upon his successful atonement these blessings here
are based upon his enthronement these blessings here are based
upon his victories It's because of the enthronement
of Christ, the victory of Christ, the absolute success of Christ,
seated on the throne of God. When He by Himself purged our
sin, He sat down on the right hand of the throne of God, ever
living to intercede for us that we enjoy these abundant, never-ending
blessings. Now, that our sons may be as
plants grown, that our daughters may be as corner stones polished
like a palace." Now, what do you see here? I want to consider
these blessings here, not in a physical, in a temporal way,
but in a spiritual way. Sons and daughters. children
of the covenant of grace, planted by the Lord. You remember from
Isaiah 61, we're called trees of righteousness, the planting
of the Lord? Sons and daughters polished by His grace, fastened
upon the Lord Jesus Christ, the cornerstone. We have been made
living stones in Christ Jesus, built upon that chief cornerstone,
the Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved, behold what manner of
love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called
sons of God, that, all based upon His victory over sin, death,
hell, and the grave, that our sons, our daughters may be blessed,
covenant children, that our garners may be full, affording all manner
of store, the storehouse full, You know what a garner is? It's
a barn. That our barns may be full. All based upon the victories
of the Lord Jesus Christ. The victories of the Lord Jesus
Christ. You see, the Lord Jesus Christ, He is our storehouse. In Him dwells all the fullness
of the Godhead bodily and in Him we are complete. Of His grace
have we all received, of His fullness have we all received
grace for grace. You see, the storehouse is full.
The storehouse of mercy is full. The storehouse of blessing is
full because He's victorious. And we're victorious in Him.
That our barn may be full. That our sheep may bring forth
thousands and ten thousands in our streets. And who are the
sheep? Oh, God's people. Thousands and
thousands and 10,000 times, 10,000 and thousands, they sing, worthy
is the Lamb that was slain. Numberless multitudes redeemed
by the blood of Christ, born by the Spirit of God, begotten
by the Word of God, that our sheep may bring forth thousands
and thousands and thousands. Verse 14, that our oxen that
our oxen may be strong in labor, that there be no breaking in
or going out, that there be no complaining, no complaining in
the streets. The oxen here represent the preacher
of the gospel. God's servants who labor in the
Word. You remember the scripture where
it says, Muzzle not the ox that treadeth out the corn. Take care
of God's servant. They're labors in the Word. They're like oxen. They labor
and work in the Word. Look what it says in the second
part of that. That there be no breaking in nor going out, that
there be no complaining in our streets. True Strong, faithful
preaching of the Word of God will build us up in the faith.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God, and will
prevent our complaining in the streets. Now, you remember back
over, turn one page, Psalm 141, it'll prevent Strong, constant, faithful preaching
when attended to and received will prevent our complaining
in the street. And if we do have a complaint, often times these different businesses
will have a complaint card. If you have any complaints, just
fill out your complaint and put it in a box. Psalm 141, look
at verse 2. Psalm 142, rather. Psalm 142,
verse 2. David said, I poured out my complaint
before him. I showed before him my trouble. If we do have any complaint,
let us not complain in the streets. Let us complain unto the Lord.
Let us pour our heart unto our God. You see what he's saying
there? That there be no breaking in. That there be no going out. You see, strong preaching will
build us up in the faith. It won't break us down, it'll
build us up. Not in pride, but in gratitude. Gratitude unto the Lord. Now, after I had worked on that
and thought about that for a good while, I found this statement.
And I found somebody who agreed with what I saw. One preacher said this, these
verses may with little accommodation be applied to God's prosperous
church, where converts are growing and beautiful, the gospel store
is abundant, and the spiritual increase most cheering, their
ministers and workers are in full vigor, and the people are
happy and united. The Lord make it so. Lord make it so in all of our
churches. Make it so here. I pray that
the Lord will bless this ministry here. In closing, look at verse
15. Happy is that people. Happy is
that people. Happy is that people. That is
in such a case. Yea, happy is that people whose
God is the Lord. Happy. Happy is that people. where the gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ is preached, where the saints of God assemble for
worship, where prayer is wont to be made, where praising and
giving Him all the glory and salvation, happy is that people
whose God is the Lord." Happy. It's that word blessed, blessed,
blessed. A couple of places here and I'll
let you go. Psalm 33.12. Blessed all were blessed happy
and blessed happy and blessed psalm 33 12 Blessed is that nation whose
God is the Lord and the people whom he hath chosen for his own
Inheritance happy blessed blessed blessed one other psalm 65 verse
4 psalm 65 verse 4 Happy. Happy is that people whose
God is the Lord. Blessed is that man. Psalm 65
verse 4. This is a well-known, well-known
verse. Blessed is the man whom thou
choosest and causes to approach unto thee that he may dwell in
thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the
goodness of thy house, even thy holy temple. Happy. We're blessed
in Christ Jesus. I tell you, those who are blessed
in Christ Jesus, They're happy. They're happy. They're happy.
