00:16 For those of you who are joining with us today who are heavy 00:20 of heart, we are in the middle of Psalm 46, God is our refuge 00:25 and strength. 00:26 For those of you who are joining us today with rejoicing 00:29 and thanksgiving, we're going to move on to Psalm 47, 00:31 which is a song of praise. 00:32 In every circumstance that we experience in life, 00:36 David has left us words with which to praise God, 00:40 and express our hope in Him. 00:42 I'm Kelly Mowrer. 00:43 Thank you for joining with me. 00:44 Let's pray before we start reading. 00:46 Dear God, thank You that You are our refuge and strength, 00:52 and thank You that we can come with joy and draw water from 00:56 Your wells of deliverance. 00:57 Please be with us now as we read. 00:59 Amen. 01:00 We're picking up in Psalm 46, verse 4, and this is the 01:04 King James Version. 01:06 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city 01:11 of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 01:15 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: 01:18 God shall help her, and that right early. 01:22 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: 01:25 he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 01:28 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. 01:34 Selah. 01:35 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath 01:39 made in the earth. 01:40 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; 01:43 he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; 01:47 he burneth the chariot in the fire. 01:49 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among 01:56 the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 01:59 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. 02:06 Selah. 02:07 Continuing with Psalm 47. 02:09 This is the King James Version. 02:10 O clap your hands, all ye people; 02:13 shout unto God with the voice of triumph. 02:16 for the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King 02:19 over all the earth. 02:20 He shall subdue the people under us, 02:23 and the nations under our feet. 02:25 He shall choose our inheritance for us, 02:28 the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. 02:31 Selah. 02:32 God is gone up with a shout, the Lord with the sound 02:36 of a trumpet. 02:37 Sing praises to God, sing praises: 02:39 sing praises unto our King, sing praises. 02:42 For God is the King of all the earth: 02:46 sing ye praises with understanding. 02:49 God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne 02:53 of his holiness. 02:54 The princes of the people are gathered together, 02:57 even the people of the God of Abraham: 03:00 for the shields of the earth belong unto God: 03:04 he is greatly exalted. 03:07 Continuing with Psalm 48. 03:09 This is the King James Version. 03:10 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city 03:15 of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 03:18 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, 03:22 is mount Zion on the sides of the north, 03:25 the city of the great King. 03:26 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. 03:30 For, lo, the kings were assembled, 03:33 they passed by together. 03:34 They saw it, and so they marveled; they were troubled, 03:39 and hasted away. 03:40 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, 03:43 as of a woman in travail. 03:45 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. 03:49 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the Lord of 03:53 hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. 03:58 Selah. 03:59 We have thought of thy loving-kindness, O God, 04:02 in the midst of thy temple. 04:03 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends 04:08 of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness. 04:12 Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, 04:16 because of thy judgments. 04:17 Walk about Zion, and go round about her: 04:21 tell the towers thereof. 04:22 Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; 04:26 that ye may tell it to the generation following. 04:30 For this God is our God forever and ever: 04:35 he will be our guide even unto death. 04:40 Continuing with Psalm 49. 04:42 This is the King James Version. 04:43 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, 04:47 all ye inhabitants of the world: both low and high, 04:51 rich and poor, together. 04:53 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart 04:57 shall be of understanding. 04:59 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark 05:05 saying upon the harp. 05:06 Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity 05:11 of my heels shall compass me about? 05:14 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves 05:19 in the multitude of their riches; 05:20 none of them can by any means redeem his brother, 05:25 nor give to God a ransom for him: (for the redemption of 05:29 their soul is precious, and it ceaseth forever:) 05:32 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 05:36 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the 05:39 brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 05:43 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall 05:46 continue forever, and their dwelling places to all 05:49 generations; they call their lands after their own names. 05:54 Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not: 06:00 he is like the beasts that perish. 06:02 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity 06:08 approve their sayings. 06:10 Selah. 06:11 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; 06:15 and the upright shall have dominion over them 06:17 in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave 06:21 from their dwelling. 06:22 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: 06:28 for he shall receive me. 06:29 Selah. 06:31 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, 06:34 when the glory of his house is increased; for when he dieth 06:39 he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not 06:43 descend after him. 06:44 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: 06:47 and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 06:51 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; 06:55 they shall never see light. 06:57 Men that is in honor, and understandeth not, 07:01 is like the beasts that perish. 07:04 Continuing with Psalm 50, and this is the King James Version. 07:08 The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, 07:13 and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the 07:17 going down thereof. 07:18 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 07:24 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: 07:28 a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous 07:32 round about him. 07:33 He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, 07:36 that he may judge his people. 07:38 Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a 07:41 covenant with me by sacrifice. 07:43 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: 07:47 for God is judge himself. 07:49 Selah. 07:51 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, 07:54 and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God. 07:59 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt 08:03 offerings, to have been continually before me. 08:06 I will take no bullock out of thy house, 08:09 nor he goats out of thy folds. 08:11 For every beast of the forest is mine, 08:13 and the cattle upon a thousand hills. 08:16 I know all the fowls of the mountains: 08:18 and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 08:21 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: 08:23 for the world is mine, and the fullness thereof. 08:26 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 08:30 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 08:37 and call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, 08:41 and thou shalt glorify me. 08:43 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare 08:48 my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant 08:51 in thy mouth? 08:52 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words 08:57 behind thee. 08:58 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, 09:02 and hast been partaker with adulterers. 09:05 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 09:09 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; 09:13 thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 09:16 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; 09:20 thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as 09:24 thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order 09:28 before thine eyes. 09:29 Now consider this ye that forget God, 09:33 lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 09:37 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth 09:43 his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God. 09:48 Continuing with Psalm 51, and this is the King James Version. 09:52 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy 09:57 loving-kindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender 10:02 mercies blot out my transgressions. 10:04 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me 10:08 from my sin. 10:09 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin 10:12 is ever before me. 10:14 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, 10:18 and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified 10:23 when thou speakest and be clear when thou judgest. 10:25 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; 10:28 and in sin did my mother conceive me. 10:31 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: 10:37 and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 10:41 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, 10:45 and I shall be whiter than snow. 10:48 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which 10:54 thou hast broken may rejoice. 10:56 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 11:02 Create in me a clean heart, O God; 11:05 and renew a right spirit within me. 11:08 Cast me not away from thy presence; 11:11 and take not thy Holy Spirit from me. 11:15 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; 11:18 and uphold me with thy free spirit. 11:22 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; 11:25 and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 11:29 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, 11:32 thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud 11:37 of thy righteousness. 11:38 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show 11:42 forth thy praise. 11:44 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: 11:49 thou delightest not in burnt offering. 11:53 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: 11:57 a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 12:02 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: 12:06 build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 12:09 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, 12:15 with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: 12:18 then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. 12:22 Continuing with Psalm 52, and this is the King James Version. 12:26 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? 12:33 the goodness of God endureth continually. 12:36 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, 12:40 working deceitfully. 12:42 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than 12:46 to speak righteousness. 12:47 Selah. 12:48 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. 12:53 God shall likewise destroy thee forever, 12:56 he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy 12:59 dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. 13:02 Selah. 13:03 The righteous also shall see, and fear, 13:06 and shall laugh at him: Lo this is the man that made not God 13:09 his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, 13:13 and strengthened himself in his wickedness. 13:16 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: 13:20 I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. 13:24 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: 13:26 and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints. 13:31 Continuing with Psalm 53. 13:35 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. 13:38 Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: 13:41 there is none that doeth good. 13:42 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, 13:45 to see if there were any that did understand, 13:48 that did seek God. 13:49 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become 13:53 filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13:58 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? 14:01 who eat up my people as they eat bread: 14:04 they have not called upon God. 14:06 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: 14:11 for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against 14:15 thee: thou hast put them to shame, 14:17 because God hath despised them. 14:19 Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! 14:22 When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, 14:26 Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. 14:30 Thank you for joining with me today to read the word of God. 14:34 Until we come together again, may He bless and keep 14:37 each one of us to His glory. 14:38 Goodbye. |
