What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Lazer Brody’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

We are now in the midst of thank you Hashem of our learning in the book of Psalms. Tonight we're devoting the entire lesson to Psalm 18. It is very timely and tonight's lesson is entitled by rock. And then since King David he was a fantastic warrior, a best leader. That's what we're missing today is a King David. We only had a King David in the land of Israel then things would look much differently. King David had one preparation for battle, Psalm 18. And when the battle was over, he had one mode of debriefing, Psalm 18. Psalm 18 was his sonnet before battle and after battle and all time. And this is for every one of us. It's for everyone. If anytime we have a challenge in life, this is our battle in life. And you could substitute King David's war for your own war. King David said to me for your own enemy. Whether you have physical enemy or a spiritual enemy, we have plenty of spiritual enemies because we don't get a red carpet when we get close to Hashem. Have to work hard and there's a lot of opposition on the field. Okay, so in fact Psalm 18 was King David's secret weapon and it could be our secret weapon too. It worked for King David, it will work for us. After please indulge in me, thank you Hashem. I'm over the flu but I have a little aftermath in my voice. My voice is a little bit raspy. I'll try to be clear and Hashem. So we open up our Psalms to Psalm 18 and for those who want to follow in Hebrew, follow in English. Our English translation is a spoken translation. It's a translation that could flow. uh, we hope b'ezrat Hashem by the time we conclude our
