A Term Paper Presented to Dr. Todd Beall of Capital Bible Seminary _____________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Divinity ____________ by Terry Pruitt May 7, 2013 4 The Lord G OD gave to me a tongue of disciples, to know how to sustain the weary with a word, He rouses morning by morning, He rouses my ear to listen as the learned ones. 5 The Lord G OD opened my ear and I myself was not rebellious, I did not turn my back. 6 I gave my back to those striking me and my cheeks to those who plucked them bare; I did not hide my face from reproach and spittle. 7 But the Lord G OD shall help me; therefore, I shall not be disgraced, therefore I have placed my face like flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed. 8
