good morning. What, is this your own? It is.

Is that AM? I'm gonna need a relay. Yeah, I got you checked in Will, good morning.

This is John from AK6OK on the West Coast Bible City this morning. Got about five minutes left before we get started. KM-5S?

Yeah, go ahead Jerry. Uh, not Jerry. Well, Will.

Yes, I would like that signal finally cleared up, so... Is that clear on your end? Can you amplify this?

Yeah, I think the final one blew up. No need for a request. Can you amplify this?

Okay, perfect. No prayer request. Thank you.

Have a good day. We're going to be looking at SOM at 69 this morning, which is really long, but we're going to read it from one end to another. And it's a beautiful God's Day in the neighborhood.

Dan, I haven't seen Roger in here just yet this morning. Yeah, heard somebody in the background, try that again. He's sliding to the base about 6 o'clock sharp.

Yeah, I did almost 6 o'clock down there, but who else, did somebody relay that guy in the background there? I think it was me, but he was laying down in the noise. Yeah, I hear two.

Let's see if you can try it one more time. I'll listen on cordialing it. Oh, it's Lee, AL7KG.

Good morning, Lee. Good morning. It took us a minute to pull you out.

AL7KG, good morning to you. And any prayer requests? And I heard no.

OK, good. Got that. And what was your other question?

Anybody hear that? Yeah, he's asking your name, Jeff. Oh, Jeff is my name, Jeff, J-E-F-F.

Max is in Malaysia and listening remotely, I think, at times. But this is Jeff. I'm calling in for Max.

Yeah, good morning. I'm glad you're hearing me one way or another. AL7KG from AK6OK for the West Coast Bible Study.

All right. Oh, hi. Hi, Jeff.

And thank you, Al. Yeah. I wanted to tell you that I discovered yesterday an explicit statement as to what's going on with Eric's observation regarding...

whether we give gifts to God or God gives gifts to us. And it's probably, it may not be that significant for some, but there is a service between Ephesians chapter 4, verse 8, and our passage today. Well, I'll tell you what, let me open this up in prayer and then jump right into that.

Is that okay? And thank you for that, Lord. We are blessed to be here.

We just ask for your blessings on Max and his sweet wife, Kathy. They do their ministry in Malaysia. Pray for their safety this morning.

And Lord, we're going to tackle this Psalm 69 from one end to the other today. It's a lot to chew on. And it sounds like David's down in the dumps again.

So we'll read about that. Thank you for this day. Thank you for this time.

It's Monday. It's awesome Monday when we get to see all the miracles that you present to us every single day of the year. And we are blessed.

Thank you, Lord, in your precious name. Amen. All right.

So today we are going to tackle Psalm 69. And it's another big one. But we're up for it here, I can tell you.

So anyway, let me read one thing here. Psalm 69 is where David is down in the dumps again, drowning in a flood of trouble. And perhaps in no psalm in the whole Psalter, they call it, is the sense of sorrow more profound and intense than in this psalm.

The soul of the singer pours itself out in unrestrained abandonment and the overwhelming and terrible grief which consumes it. Wow. There you go.

There's a good start to what we're going to read here. And as a little good news, tomorrow in 70, it's only five. I think five verses.

So we get a breather tomorrow. Roger, WB7VZL is going to point something out that he and Eric have been talking about. Go ahead, Roger.

That's the WB7 of EZL. And I was so thrilled to be able to find something explicit. I looked at a couple of books that I have on Ephesians, and no one mentioned what Eric observed.

But here's what the Tyndale Commentary says, and I think it's fascinating when it comes to Pentecost and the spiritual gifts. that Paul speaks of in Ephesians chapter 4, verse 8 and following. And so here's what the commentary says.

Paul leads on in a new thought in verse 18 of Ephesians chapter 4, the measure of the gift of Christ. Now, as you remember, he's quoting... from our passage, a passage that we are under study, and it says, the gifts we give to God, that's a lot.

And Eric pointed out that in the New Testament use of Paul, Paul says that these gifts are given to us. It's kind of a reversal of the passage that we have in Psalm 68, but it's still listed as a direct quote. So that's the dilemma that this commentary is highlighting.

The measure of the gift of Christ in Ephesians 4 is that of an ascended Lord who in the days of his flesh promised such abundant bestowal when he returned to the Father's presence. To express this, the Apostle Paul quotes Scripture, Psalm 68, verse 18, a passage which, significantly enough, was associated with Pentecost in the synagogue lectionary, and which could be applied to the triumph and ascension of the Lord, followed by the bestowal of spiritual gifts to His Church. Alright, okay.

In their original setting, the words of the Psalm picture the Lord returning in triumph either to the Jerusalem sanctuary or to heaven itself after the overthrow of Israel's enemies. He has made his enemies captive, and they follow, as it were, in his triumphal procession. As conqueror, he has received gifts that he can bestow.

Like many of the Psalms, this found ready application to the Christ. He has conquered his enemies and returned to his Father's throne in triumph, now to bestow blessings on his people. In fact, he erstwhile foes whom he leads in triumph in Christ, that's a quote, like Paul himself, are his gift to his church.

Thank you. Final paragraph. We must note, however, an important change in the words used.

The Hebrew psalm, in other words, our Psalm 68, has words which must be translated, Thou hast received gifts among men. Paul says he gave gifts unto men. Attempts have been made rather unsuccessfully.

to reconcile the two different readings, thus Eric's observation, okay? Calvin, John Calvin the Reformer, and many others have not tried to reconcile but think that Paul changed the words. He began by quoting the psalm for its words that truly...

applied to the triumph and exaltation of Jesus, and then altered it to express the giving rather than the receiving of gifts in accordance with the truth expressed in such passages of Acts chapter 2. That's Peter's sermon. Okay, we know that one.

The change may have been made before Paul. I thought this was interesting. Indeed, the fact that the reference to the bestowal of gifts seems the main reason for the quotation makes this very probable.

Perhaps in Jewish interpreters before Paul, perhaps in an early Christian hymn, Paul already had the words he quoted in this psalm. In any case, the psalm helped him to tell that the ascension of Christ made possible the outpouring of the Spirit. And so, the very gift of which he is about to speak in detail.

And so, it mentions in the footnote that the targum on psalms may involve an interpretation going back into pre-Christian times, And then it mentions another reference to the psalm that highlights maybe even Paul was quoting from something written before his day. In other words, Paul did not change it himself. Anyway, I thought this was really a compliment to this Tyndale commentary for tackling Eric's observations.

This is WB7VZL. Back to you, Jeff. Is that Exxon?

Yeah. Whoa, I'm still trying to observe all this. Roger, go ahead.

You got Kevin in there? Yeah, I've got Kevin and Roger. Let me get Roger first.

Roger, Vito, go ahead. I've said enough. I just was thrilled to find somebody to tackle Eric's question.

And Kevin's got the floor, I think, over. Okay, Kevin, you go for it. Okay, thank you.

KB7ZXN, well that is excellent and a great question, Eric, and good research and study, Roger, on that. And I tend to agree with Calvin's perspective to the extent that I think Paul did knowingly use those words with a more full application in light of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. And in light of the gifts of the Spirit, as we read, 1 Corinthians 12, 13, and 14, we see in 12 that the gifts are ministered according to the Spirit, and of course they're for the glory of God and the edification of the church, which Christ gave himself for.

So if the gifts... serve that purpose for the edification of the church and the glory of God. And, of course, we see the manner of those gifts are exercised in love in chapter 13.

And so, yeah, I could see where Paul is actually applying that text but expanding the gifts to accomplish the spiritual gifts of the church. There are 57 that accept. All right, good observation.

And I'm so glad you guys are in here because this is over my head. Eric, you want to jump in here? Thank you.

Or how about you, Ed? Yeah, Jeff, were you calling me? Yeah, you want to jump in on this?

Well, I love the research, yeah, I love the research that Roger did, and that was kind of my thought when I read it. It was like, you know, when a king goes out and conquers, and he gets the plunder and then he spreads it out and gives it back to his followers or loyal subjects. And so in a way it was kind of like, you know, Jesus conquered and then ascended to heaven and then distributed the gifts of the Spirit to equip the saints for the spreading of the Gospel.

So that's kind of my thought. I think Roger really, that research just really laid it out pretty well there. and I appreciate him taking that extra time to look into that.

So anyway, and I think my question has been answered pretty well and I appreciate that effort on Roger's part. So anyway, back to you, Jeff. That's about all I have on that.

So this is KD7ES. Okay, good, good. Yeah, thanks so much.

Wow. Good job, Roger. Now it's making me wonder what we should do about Psalm 69 this morning.

I think I'm going to read it. Guys, let me read the NLT version. I think it's a bit to get through this, isn't it?

We can kind of decide together where we go from here because we can either discuss this. It's a long one. Or we can read it today, maybe in both versions, NLT and message, and discuss it tomorrow because we're going to run out of time real quick on this one.

So unless you want to read it back, it's up to you. Go ahead. That suggested going to verse 15, wasn't it, sir?

Yeah, going to verse 15. Okay, all right, let's do that. Let's go to 15, 1 through 15.

And I'm going to read from the NLT this morning. That's a good idea. narrow it down a little bit.

Here we go. Verse number one. Save me, O God, for the floodwaters are up to my neck.

And David, we're back at it again. Deeper and deeper, I sink into the mire. I can't find a foothold.

I'm in deep water. and the floods overwhelm me. I'm exhausted from crying for help.

My throat is parched. My eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to help me. Those who hate me without cause outnumber the hairs on my head.

Many enemies are trying to destroy me with lies, demanding that I give back what I didn't steal. Oh God, you know how foolish I am. My sins cannot be hidden from you.

Don't let those who trust in you be ashamed because of me. Oh sovereign Lord of heaven's armies, don't let me cause them to be humiliated. Oh God of Israel, for I endure insults for your sake.

Humiliation is written all over my face. Even my own brothers pretend they don't know me. They treat me like a stranger.

The passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. When I beat them fast, they scoff at me. When I dress in burlap to show sorrow, they make fun of me.

I'm the favorite topic of town gossip, and all the drunks think about me. Boy, things haven't changed, honestly, going on today. But I keep praying to you, Lord, hoping that this time you will show me favor.

In your unfailing love, oh God, answer my prayer with your sure salvation. And 14, rescue me from the mud. Don't let me sink any deeper.

Save me from those who hate me. and pull me from these deep waters. Don't let the floods overwhelm me or the deep waters shower me or the pit of death devour me.

And there is the reading from 1 to 15. Any comments on this one? Maybe.

Very simple. Kevin, go ahead. Well, to get things started here, yeah, clearly, you know, this again, as we see in Psalm 45 and others, the circumstances sometimes can be overwhelming to us.

And we certainly see that here in this psalm, this David, where circumstances, you know, whether the enemies and/or other elements of his life at this point are completely overwhelming. But one of the things that we see here is his first response is not try to fix it on his own, which is sometimes our nature. Well, let me try to fix it myself, and then once I mess it up, I'll turn to God.

One of the examples that David always gives us is turning to God first in most cases. And then this is a perfect example of that. where he's turning to God in his struggle that he's facing now.

One of the other interesting components of this psalm is this is, I think, the most quoted psalm in the New Testament. There's at least, I think, 12 quotes, 12 citations, direct quotes from the New Testament out of this psalm. And very...

several messianic quotes here if you will as well so as you look through this psalm see if you can spot those and where they might be now in your study bible or I don't know the NLT message might highlight some of those But keep that in mind as well as you read through this. So not only is this applying to real circumstance that David was experiencing and is praying to God, turning to God for his multitude of mercies and kindness as we read down through here. But also...

the direct implication and application to have been in the New Testament. KB7, is that acceptable? Excellent.

Yeah, thanks so much. Kevin? Hi, and you're right.

He lays it out here as peace and grief. And I see this in a lot of David's Psalms. You know, and normally what happens is partway through the Psalm he says, "However," or "But," And then he turns it around and says, God, you are good.

You are good. And you'll pull me out of this. Who else has a comment on this?

Over. Over. I'm going to read this out of the message here.

Any other comments before I read the message version of this? It's very similar. Okay, let me read 1 through 15 from the message.

This is... Psalm 69:1-15. Verse 1: "God, God, save me, I'm in over my head.

Quick sand under me, swamp water over me, I'm going down for the third time. I'm hoarse and calling for help. Bleary-eyed from searching the sky for God, I've got more enemies than hairs on my head.

Liars and cheats, are out to knife me in the back. What I never sold, must I now give back? That's a question mark.

God, you know every sin I've committed. My life's a wide open book before you. Don't let those who look to you in hope be discouraged by what happens to me.

Dear Lord, God of armies, Don't let those out looking for you come to a dead end by following me. Please, dear God of Israel, because of you I look like an idiot. I walk around ashamed to show my face.

My brother shunned me like a bum off the street. My family treats me like an unwanted guest. I love you more than I can say because I'm madly in love with you.

They blame me for everything they dislike about you. When I poured myself out in prayer and fasting, all it got me was more contempt. When I put on a sad face, they treated me like a clown.

Now drunks and gluttons make up drinking songs about me. And me, I pray. God, it's time for a break.

God, answer in love. Answer with your sure salvation. Verse 14.

Rescue me from the swamp. Don't let me go under for good. Pull me out of the clutch of the enemy And the whirlpool is sucking me down And 15 Don't let the swamp be my grave The black holes swallow me It's just flinched around me And there is the message version Of Psalm 69 1 through 15 Any comments on this?

Go ahead Thank you. WB7VZL? Roger, go ahead.

Well, those of us who I'm sure most of us have pondered, it has echoes of -- well, it shouldn't be the word "echo," I guess, but it's so similar to Isaiah's portrayal prophetically what Jesus is going through, in other words, his family was not really even with him. And in verse 3, it just really speaks of that Isaiah 53 description of our Lord's suffering on our behalf. So, David and Christ being...

so similar, what he goes through is so portrayed in the prophetic description, Albert. I'm actually just looking at a commentary about this. Just picture this: we can picture Jesus sinking down into the deep mire of humanity's sin and guilt, coming truly to the deep waters where the floods overflow.

No wonder it was said of Jesus before he went to the cross, he began to be sorrowful and deeply suppressed. That's out of Matthew 26:37. The Spurgeon describes several kinds of deep mire the believer may sink into.

The mire of unbelief, the deep mire of trial and difficulty. the deep mire of inward corruption, and the deep mire of the devil's temptation and oppression. And I think it's in 3: "I am weary with my crying." David was worn out with all the energy spent, and is crying and crying out as he waited for God to rescue him.

"My throat is dry." We are, it is to be feared, more likely to be hoarse with talking fragilities to men than pleading with God. Interesting. Any comments?

Well, yeah, in verse 8, I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's children. We know that Jesus had to face that with his own immediate family. They thought he was out of his mind over it.

Yeah, for sure. And this does parallel Jesus a lot, doesn't it? You know my, let's see, what verse is it?

It's 5 through 12. It's not, because I hear it too. It's 5 through 12.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm going to lock this here. Whoa.

We're on frequency. Anyway, this does parallel with what Jesus went through, too, and what we go through, as it was just talking about the different things that we go through, the deep mire. This is what we go through.

We have to be very careful about getting depressed over this stuff, and it happens to most of us almost daily. Any more comments on that? No, that's acceptable.

Yeah, go ahead, Jacob. Yeah, a couple of spots here, too, where we see direct quotes. And you're exactly right.

This is really pointing toward Christ in many ways. And we see on this here in verse 4, quoted in John 15, 25, where it points to that text. And in verse 9, we see that pointed to in John 2, verse 17, and in Romans 15, verse 3, just starting out here.

Maybe some of that is in... Yeah, that's correct. I'm just looking at 400 of those who hate me without cause or more than the hairs of my head.

Jesus specifically referred to Psalm 69, 4 when he spoke to his disciples the night of his crucifixion and said, but this happened that the word might be fulfilled. which is written in their laws, "They hated me without cause." And it's referring to John 15:25. So, yeah, it's...

this is fascinating. I wonder why David wrote... Was David thinking specifically about Jesus when he wrote this?

Over. Is that extent? In this circumstance, he was likely experiencing unjustified attacks for all the wrong reasons and unjustified reasons.

Do you remember when he was hunted down by Saul and he served Saul with honor and the more reverence and respect he displayed to Saul, the more visceral, soft, salt, salt contempt for David was. So he hunted him down and tried to kill him. And completely unjustified and completely without a cause.

And so, but we know also with our Lord, here he was, the Messiah came. God stepped out of eternity into humanity. then he might be the Savior of the world as prophesied very well throughout Isaiah, but also as we see here in the psalm quoted many times for the various elements of the ministry of Christ and his ultimate crucifixion there as well.

And we'll see several other instances of that throughout this text. KB7 is that acceptable? Yeah, thank you.

Thank you, Kevin. Another comment I see here, 5 through 12, living with the constant disapproval of man. You know, we just do this every single day in our family.

Just constant, what's the right word I'm looking for? Constant disapproval. And without merit, disapproval without merit, which is what obviously David was going through.

People constantly after him. And this happened to us today. This reminds me of a sine wave.

I see David on a high and then on a low. And you see him coming in and out of this. And isn't this something we experience every couple of days or so where things are going great, and then all of a sudden we lose a loved one?

Or we go into a problem that's insurmountable, it seems, but then we seem to come right back out of it again. This is kind of how life is, and it's fascinating to watch what David goes through, and I see victories that David goes through, and then I see downtimes and depression. Any other comments on that?

WB, 7 to VZL. Roger, go ahead. Yeah, I was just reading an article about the marginalization in Canada for anyone, including preachers, to proclaim Romans chapter 1.

and also some passages in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, if it doesn't agree with the majority opinion up in Canada. But, yeah, we're going to be like that too. But here is what I have just become aware of.

It's Psalm 69, our focus for today. and a very Now, it's in verse 9, it's used as a specific quote by Jesus in John chapter 2. Here it is.

Would you like me to read John 2, Homer? Sure, go ahead. Well, here's Jesus running into problems because he was cleansing the temple in chapter 2.

And he quotes from our passage for today. And Jesus made a scourge of...this is verse 15. He made a scourge of cords and drove them all out of the temple with the sheep and the oxen.

And he poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. Verse 16, "And to those who were selling the doves, he said, 'Take these things away, Stop making my Father's house a house of merchandise. That's quoting Jesus.

And then notice verse 17. And his disciples remembered that it was written, and that's what we're doing today, Zeal for thy house will consume me. And so, obviously, again, he quotes in verse 19 in John's gospel, the same as temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

And that quote was used in Jesus' trial. But I thought that this tie-in... between our chapter today and Jesus' life is really pretty neat.

Albert? It is. And if you look at just these first 15 verses, it does parallel Jesus' life, doesn't it?

Very interesting. That's why it's fun to dig into this stuff and find out where the cross-references to other parts of the Bible, both the New and Old Testament, is pretty stunning. Wow.

Like Psalm 89, 41. Looking at Psalm 69, 9. For a deal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

One of the references is Psalm 89, 41. All who pass by plunder him. He has become a scorn of his neighbor's.

And I look at this as a parallel to David here, who's complaining about the fact that everybody's after him. Psalm 119, 139, my zeal consumes me because my foes forgot your words. And there's many, many more.

Well, you guys, we're going to wrap it up. 6.35, we've got to get to prayer concerns. And I very much appreciate all your comments.

And it's so good to hear people jumping in here and explaining things to me. You know, it's me that needs the explanation in most cases. And I'm just...

Trying to be a decent leader here without knowing the details and I think a lot of us are in that boat. And I want to say good morning to KD7WBV, Burnham Battleground, and WB7BZL. Roger got you on the list here, K6HSV, and Carol, KK7TPO.

AC7KW and Don. So good to hear you all on here listening on the Utah SDR. So we'll be wrapping this up and thank you guys and I'm really glad we stopped at 15.

This could have gone a lot deeper. That's for sure. Tomorrow we'll start with 16 and move our way on.

And Al's going to pray us out but before that any prayer concerns this morning that we may have missed or may have not heard yet? I'll get a status on the young guy that had open heart surgery and Down syndrome. I won't get a status on him today and we'll have more information tomorrow.

And anybody I missed, anybody want to check in, any comments, any political concerns? Uh, I'm Jackson. Uh, go ahead, sir.

I didn't copy, but yeah, you might look at Romans 15:3 as well there in the context of verse 9 also. But yeah, there's a lot in here. 87, Zedek, send back to Ned.

Oh, there is, just like the 168. And gosh, I see there's Psalms coming up that have 135 verses. That's Max's thing.

Woo, there you go. Al, are you ready? KJ7QQH from AK6FH.

Guys, thanks for your patience. with me as we go through this. I am not a biblical scholar, as you can tell, but, doggone, I'll do my best.

I'll go ahead. Well, thank you there, Pastor Jeff. That's one non-biblical college to another.

Good morning. Everyone on the net, I'll come together for the Lord. Heavenly Father, thank you for today.

Thank you for this lesson. Thank you for allowing us to walk through it and being what we can to understand it. Amen.

I'm sure there will be many more floating the walls of our prayers and our hearts and minds. We just ask that all those unspoken we've been at as well. So until we meet again, watch over us all and keep us well and safe today.

on the right path to your will. Thank you, Lord, for your mercy. It would be great to each one of us to be given the gift of Jesus Christ.

And it's with him we pray all these things. Amen. This is David at QQH.

We're turning back to you there. Stop your chest. Take a deep breath.

You're not in control. Thank you Al, and boy you hit them all. That was obviously well done.

You have a gift for that Al, that not everybody has. I really appreciate you keeping track of all the prayer concerns always. Thank you very much everybody.

I appreciate everybody being here this morning. Hopefully we got everybody and didn't miss anybody. for the greetings there.

This is Jeff, AK6OK, neck control for the West Coast Bible Study. Had a little bit of noise this morning, but that went away, thanks to the Lord. I want to thank all the stations who checked in this morning, as well as those who stood by to give us a clear operating frequency.

We made our seven days a week at 6 a.m. in order to read the Bible and understand its meaning and message, and then to pray that God will help us to live out what we learned. and meet the needs of our circle of fellowship.

Every one of you is important out there, no question. I'll be returning this frequency now to general amateur use. This is Jeff, AK6OK.

I'll be clear and standing by, waiting for Beck and today's show. OK, good morning now, Delta 5 Yankee. It belongs to you, but your friends use it more.

What is it? Oh, it was Will. Okay.

Good job. Good job. How about that?

Okay, well, good morning to everybody. Any other things back, by the way? You're always there for that.

Any other comments or whatever? I've got to get out of here. I'm Yankee QRP.

Thank you, Beck. Good morning to you. Who else we got in here?

Any other college? WB7A, Dale. Roger.

Thanks for all your help this morning, Roger. Well, I appreciated Eric highlighting that, and I had to pursue that, as to kind of how the Apostle Paul uses the Older Testament. And, you know, and the fascinating changes there.

Certainly he had the authority, you know, but it was just fascinating, you know, that happened. But thank you for the time to share that fascinating commentary experience there. But, yeah, I'd like to underline what you said about Al.

And that's a gift that I don't have, you know. I resonate with you, Jeff, and am appreciating it, affirming Al. So thank you.

Thank you, Al. This is WB70, and I'll be off to the gym. Over.

Thank you. All right. Well, thank you.

Yeah, I do appreciate that. I don't have that gift. My wife does.

She's a prayer warrior. Patty just has a way with prayer, but I don't have that gift. But Al does such a good job of it, and I very much appreciate that.

He jumps in every morning and is so helpful to me. And so it's great to see you, Roger. You have other gifts as well.

And we all have our gifts that God has given us. And good job going to the gym. I'm going up the top of a mountain to see if I can have a little chit-chat with a repeater up there, Roger.

Wow, yeah, that's a gift. Yeah, MTA has that gift too, Scott, MTA. But, yeah, that's quite a process.

I think some of that when I installed translators for our Positive Life radio expansion, for a number of years as a pastor, kind of my avocation, my hobby. But my mountain times are pretty much gone in my retirement. So my hat's off to you.

Good to be some of these folks. You bet. Well, my days of that are waning.

I'm not as active in that as I used to be. But we're having a couple of little problems. I'm going to go have a talk with some of these transmitters up there.

All right, WB7, he's at L for the AK6OK, and I'll stand by for just another minute here. Have a good morning. All right, Olin, AK6OK will be clear.
