He<00:27:10.019><c> will</c><00:27:10.180><c> never</c><00:27:10.400><c> see</c><00:27:10.660><c> it.</c>

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:13.740
And<00:27:12.180><c> that's</c><00:27:12.500><c> David's</c><00:27:12.839><c> attitude.</c>

00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:18.059
He<00:27:14.339><c> thinks</c><00:27:14.819><c> all</c><00:27:15.539><c> is</c><00:27:16.099><c> well</c><00:27:16.400><c> with</c><00:27:16.640><c> his</c><00:27:16.880><c> conspiracy.</c>

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:21.599
When<00:27:19.619><c> he</c><00:27:19.980><c> learns</c><00:27:20.500><c> of</c><00:27:20.700><c> the</c><00:27:20.799><c> death</c><00:27:21.000><c> of</c><00:27:21.200><c> Uriah,</c>

00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:23.680
he<00:27:21.759><c> says,</c><00:27:21.980><c> oh,</c><00:27:22.140><c> not</c><00:27:22.339><c> to</c><00:27:22.480><c> worry,</c><00:27:22.839><c> Joab.</c>

00:27:24.180 --> 00:27:26.440
Sometimes<00:27:24.619><c> those</c><00:27:24.839><c> things</c><00:27:25.019><c> happen</c><00:27:25.359><c> in</c><00:27:25.579><c> battle.</c>

00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:28.799
And<00:27:27.180><c> after</c><00:27:27.480><c> Bathsheba</c><00:27:27.940><c> has</c><00:27:28.220><c> mourned,</c>

00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.200

00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:37.039
And<00:27:33.119><c> for</c><00:27:33.680><c> many</c><00:27:34.259><c> months</c><00:27:34.960><c> he</c><00:27:35.819><c> thinks,</c>

00:27:37.220 --> 00:27:38.740
God<00:27:37.460><c> will</c><00:27:37.619><c> not</c><00:27:37.859><c> see.</c>

00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:40.960
God<00:27:39.599><c> will</c><00:27:39.819><c> not</c><00:27:39.980><c> do</c><00:27:40.160><c> anything.</c>

00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:43.759
The<00:27:41.599><c> wicked</c><00:27:41.839><c> person</c><00:27:42.259><c> says</c><00:27:42.519><c> in</c><00:27:42.680><c> his</c><00:27:42.900><c> heart,</c>

00:27:44.299 --> 00:27:45.480
I<00:27:44.700><c> won't</c><00:27:44.900><c> be</c><00:27:45.160><c> moved.</c>

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:48.480
I<00:27:46.599><c> shall</c><00:27:46.779><c> never</c><00:27:47.039><c> be</c><00:27:47.240><c> in</c><00:27:47.380><c> adversity.</c>

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.619

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:03.779
Months<00:28:01.500><c> after</c><00:28:02.200><c> his</c><00:28:02.779><c> sin,</c>

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.819
David's<00:28:04.880><c> conscience</c><00:28:05.339><c> is</c><00:28:05.900><c> so</c><00:28:06.460><c> seared</c>

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:16.400
It<00:28:14.059><c> requires</c><00:28:14.900><c> Nathan</c><00:28:15.319><c> to</c><00:28:15.480><c> say,</c>

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:19.460
you<00:28:16.700><c> are</c><00:28:18.000><c> the</c><00:28:18.480><c> man.</c>

00:28:22.160 --> 00:28:23.519
For<00:28:22.339><c> those</c><00:28:22.599><c> months,</c>

David<00:28:24.880><c> had</c><00:28:25.039><c> been</c><00:28:25.200><c> acting</c>

00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:27.579
like<00:28:26.240><c> the</c><00:28:26.440><c> wicked</c><00:28:26.660><c> act.</c>

00:28:29.660 --> 00:28:31.339
Who<00:28:30.079><c> would</c><00:28:30.480><c> ever</c><00:28:30.980><c> think</c>

00:28:31.339 --> 00:28:34.299
we<00:28:31.500><c> would</c><00:28:31.720><c> see</c><00:28:32.000><c> David</c><00:28:32.420><c> in</c><00:28:32.720><c> Psalm</c><00:28:33.019><c> 10,</c>

00:28:45.299 --> 00:28:47.740
Do<00:28:45.539><c> we</c><00:28:45.599><c> ever</c><00:28:45.859><c> act</c><00:28:46.220><c> like</c><00:28:46.559><c> David</c><00:28:46.880><c> act?</c>

00:29:24.140 --> 00:29:26.339
Oh,<00:29:24.700><c> the</c><00:29:24.900><c> longer</c><00:29:25.160><c> we</c><00:29:25.400><c> search</c><00:29:25.599><c> our</c><00:29:25.839><c> hearts,</c>

00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:47.500

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.259
We<00:29:52.319><c> can</c><00:29:52.579><c> respond</c><00:29:53.339><c> as</c><00:29:53.640><c> David</c><00:29:53.980><c> did</c>

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:14.559
It's<00:30:13.599><c> a</c><00:30:13.779><c> psalm</c><00:30:14.160><c> that,</c>

00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:57.619
that<00:32:53.380><c> God</c><00:32:54.160><c> will</c><00:32:56.319><c> extend</c><00:32:56.980><c> mercy</c>

00:32:57.619 --> 00:32:59.740

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:02.039
God<00:33:00.539><c> will</c><00:33:00.980><c> not</c><00:33:01.240><c> despise</c><00:33:01.880><c> that.</c>

00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:03.980
God<00:33:02.440><c> will</c><00:33:02.839><c> forgive.</c>

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:06.099
And<00:33:05.220><c> because</c><00:33:05.460><c> he</c><00:33:05.579><c> does,</c>

00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:09.059

00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:11.500
Now,<00:33:10.180><c> David</c><00:33:10.400><c> realizes</c><00:33:10.940><c> that</c>

there<00:33:11.759><c> is</c><00:33:11.980><c> a</c><00:33:12.099><c> judgment</c>

00:33:12.339 --> 00:33:13.160
that<00:33:12.500><c> has</c><00:33:12.680><c> been</c><00:33:12.859><c> pronounced</c>

00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:14.059

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:15.460
and<00:33:14.160><c> he</c><00:33:14.299><c> knows</c><00:33:14.559><c> it's</c><00:33:14.819><c> going</c><00:33:14.940><c> to</c><00:33:15.180><c> happen.</c>

00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:17.700
But<00:33:16.039><c> even</c><00:33:16.960><c> though</c><00:33:17.200><c> his</c><00:33:17.380><c> family</c>

00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.259
Do<00:33:29.500><c> good</c><00:33:29.799><c> in</c><00:33:29.980><c> thy</c><00:33:30.180><c> good</c><00:33:30.460><c> pleasure</c><00:33:30.759><c> unto</c><00:33:31.039><c> Zion.</c>

00:33:36.859 --> 00:33:38.019
And<00:33:37.119><c> he</c><00:33:37.160><c> looks</c><00:33:37.480><c> forward</c>

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:40.119

00:33:46.579 --> 00:33:49.799
You<00:33:47.380><c> know,</c><00:33:48.599><c> it's</c><00:33:48.700><c> quite</c><00:33:48.900><c> incredible</c>

00:33:50.579 --> 00:33:53.220

00:33:58.980 --> 00:34:01.960
David<00:33:59.299><c> prays</c><00:34:00.519><c> for</c><00:34:00.920><c> the</c><00:34:01.039><c> life</c><00:34:01.180><c> of</c><00:34:01.359><c> the</c><00:34:01.519><c> child.</c>

00:34:02.140 --> 00:34:04.880
Back<00:34:02.440><c> in</c><00:34:02.599><c> 2</c><00:34:02.859><c> Samuel</c><00:34:03.259><c> 12,</c>

00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:08.400
he<00:34:05.039><c> has</c><00:34:05.920><c> such</c><00:34:07.400><c> confidence</c>

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:10.059
in<00:34:08.920><c> the</c><00:34:09.119><c> mercy</c><00:34:09.420><c> of</c><00:34:09.619><c> God</c>

00:34:10.059 --> 00:34:12.460
that<00:34:11.019><c> he</c><00:34:11.340><c> beseeches</c><00:34:11.840><c> God</c>

00:34:12.460 --> 00:34:14.820

00:34:15.420 --> 00:34:17.199
That's<00:34:15.699><c> not</c><00:34:15.860><c> presumption</c><00:34:16.400><c> on</c><00:34:16.559><c> David's</c><00:34:17.000><c> part.</c>

00:34:17.539 --> 00:34:19.440
That's<00:34:17.940><c> knowing</c><00:34:18.280><c> the</c><00:34:18.539><c> mercies</c><00:34:18.920><c> of</c><00:34:19.059><c> the</c><00:34:19.179><c> Lord</c>

00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.159

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:41.980
He<00:34:41.059><c> changed</c><00:34:41.460><c> his</c><00:34:41.699><c> apparel</c>
