00:14 Hello and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:16 I am Kelly Mower, and thank you 00:18 for joining with me today to read 00:20 the word of God together. 00:21 Let's pray before we start. 00:22 Dear heavenly Father, 00:24 thank you for an opportunity to sit 00:27 and listen to your words. 00:29 Please may the Holy Spirit bring them 00:33 to our hearts in a new way, 00:35 and show us a fresh look at your love 00:38 for us, and your greatness to us. 00:41 May we worship you and look into 00:43 your face during this time, 00:44 we love you, amen. 00:46 We're reading in Psalm chapter 116 00:51 starting with verse 17, 00:54 this is the King James Version. 00:55 I will offer to thee, 00:58 the sacrifice of thanksgiving 01:00 and we will call upon the name 01:03 of the Lord. I will pay my 01:05 vows unto the Lord now in the presence 01:08 of all His people in the courts of Lord's house, 01:11 in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. 01:13 Praise ye the Lord. 01:16 Psalm 117: O praise the Lord, 01:19 all ye nations: praise him, 01:22 all ye people. For his merciful kindness 01:24 is great toward us: 01:26 and the truth of the Lord endureth 01:29 for ever. Praise ye the Lord. 01:31 Psalm 118: O gives thanks unto 01:36 the Lord; for he is good: 01:37 because his mercy endureth for ever. 01:40 Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth 01:43 for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, 01:46 that his mercy endureth for ever. 01:48 Let them now that fear the Lord say, 01:50 that his mercy endureth for ever. 01:53 I called upon the Lord in distress: 01:57 the Lord answered me, 01:58 and set me in a large place. 02:01 The Lord is on my side; 02:04 I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 02:08 The Lord taketh my part with them 02:10 that help me: therefore shall I see 02:12 my desire upon them that hate me. 02:15 It is better to trust in the Lord than to put 02:20 confidence in man. It is better to trust 02:23 in the Lord than to put confidence in princes. 02:25 All nations compassed me about: 02:28 but in the name of the Lord will I destroy them. 02:31 They compassed me about; 02:33 yea, they compassed me about: 02:34 but in the name of the Lord, 02:36 I will destroy them. They compassed me about 02:40 like bees: they are quenched 02:43 as the fire of thorns: 02:44 for in the name of the Lord I will destroy them. 02:48 Thou hast thrust sore at me that 02:52 I might fall: but the Lord helped me. 02:54 The Lord is my strength and song, 02:58 and has become my salvation. 03:01 The voice of rejoicing and salvation 03:04 is in the tabernacles of the righteous: 03:05 the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. 03:08 The right hand of the Lord is exalted: 03:10 the right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. 03:13 I shall not die, but live, 03:15 and declare the works of the Lord. 03:18 The Lord hath chastened me sore: 03:21 but he hath not given me over unto death. 03:24 Open to me the gates of righteousness: 03:28 I will go into them, and I will praise the Lord: 03:31 This gate of the Lord, into which the righteous 03:34 shall enter. I will praise thee: 03:35 for thou hast heard me, 03:37 and art become my salvation. 03:39 The stone which the builders refused is become 03:44 the head stone of the corner. 03:46 This is the Lord's doing; 03:48 it is marvelous in our eyes. 03:51 This is the day which the Lord hath made; 03:55 we will rejoice and be glad in it. 03:59 Save now, I beseech thee, 04:02 O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, 04:05 send now prosperity. 04:07 Blessed be he that cometh 04:10 in the name of the Lord: 04:11 we have blessed you out of the 04:13 house of the Lord. God is the Lord, 04:16 which hath showed us light: 04:18 bind the sacrifice with cords, 04:20 even unto the horns of the altar. 04:22 Thou art my God and I will praise thee: 04:26 thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 04:30 O gives thanks unto the Lord; 04:33 for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 04:38 Psalm 119: Blessed are the undefiled in the way, 04:47 who walk in the law of the Lord. 04:50 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, 04:53 and that seek him with the whole heart. 04:56 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. 05:00 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts 05:04 diligently. O that my ways were directed 05:08 to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, 05:12 when I have respect unto all thy commandments. 05:14 I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, 05:17 when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. 05:20 I will keep thy statutes: 05:23 O forsakes me not utterly. 05:25 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? 05:29 By taking heed thereto according to thy word. 05:34 With my whole heart have I sought thee: 05:37 O let me not wander from thy commandments? 05:40 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, 05:43 that I might not sin against thee. 05:45 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. 05:50 With my lips have I declared all the judgments 05:54 of thy mouth. I have rejoiced 05:55 in the way of thy testimonies, 05:56 as much as in all riches. 05:58 I will meditate in thy precepts, 06:00 and have respect unto thy ways. 06:03 I will delight myself in thy statutes: 06:05 I will not forget thy word. 06:08 Deal bountifully with thy servant, 06:11 that I may live, and keep thy word. 06:14 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous 06:18 things out of thy law. 06:19 I am a stranger in the earth: 06:22 hide not thy commandments from me. 06:24 My soul breaketh for the longing 06:27 that it hath unto thy judgments at all times. 06:29 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, 06:33 which do err from thy commandments. 06:35 Remove from me reproach and contempt; 06:38 for I have kept thy testimonies. 06:40 Princes also did sit and speak against me: 06:44 but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 06:47 Thy testimonies also are my delight 06:51 My soul cleaveth unto the dust: 06:55 quicken thou me according to thy word. 06:57 I have declared my ways, 07:00 and thou heardest me: 07:01 teach me thy statutes. 07:02 Make me to understand the way of 07:06 thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous 07:09 works. My soul melteth for heaviness: 07:14 strengthen thou me according unto thy word. 07:18 Remove from me the way of lying: 07:22 and grant me thy law graciously. 07:25 I have chosen the way of truth: 07:27 thy judgments have I laid before me. 07:31 I have stuck unto thy testimonies: 07:34 O Lord, put me not to shame. 07:35 I will run the way of thy commandments, 07:38 when thou shalt enlarge my heart. 07:41 Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; 07:44 and I shall keep it unto the end. 07:46 Give me understanding, 07:48 and I shall keep thy law; 07:49 yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. 07:52 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; 07:56 for therein do I delight. 07:58 Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, 08:02 and not to covetousness. 08:04 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; 08:07 and quicken thou me in thy way. 08:09 Stablish thy word unto thy servant, 08:13 who is devoted to thy fear. 08:15 Turn away my reproach which I fear: 08:18 for thy judgments are good. 08:20 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: 08:23 quicken me in thy righteousness. 08:25 Let thy mercies come also unto me, O Lord, 08:29 even thy salvation, according to thy word. 08:32 So shall I have wherewith to answer him 08:35 that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. 08:39 And take not the word of truth utterly out 08:42 of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments. 08:44 So shall I keep thy law continually 08:47 for ever and ever. 08:48 And I will walk at liberty: 08:52 for I seek thy precepts. 08:53 I will speak of thy testimonies 08:56 also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 08:58 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, 09:01 which I have loved. 09:02 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, 09:06 which I have loved; 09:07 and I will meditate in thy statutes. 09:09 Remember the word unto thy servant, 09:12 upon which thou hast caused me to hope. 09:15 This is my comfort in my affliction: 09:18 for thy word hath quickened me. 09:20 The proud have had me greatly in derision: 09:25 yet have I not declined from thy law. 09:28 I remembered thy judgments of old, 09:31 O Lord; and have comforted myself. 09:34 Horror hath taken hold upon me 09:37 because of the wicked that forsake thy law. 09:39 Thy statutes have been my songs 09:42 in the house of my pilgrimage. 09:45 I have remembered thy name, 09:46 O Lord, in the night, and have kept thy law. 09:49 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 09:53 Thou art my portion, O Lord: 09:56 I have said that I would keep thy words. 09:59 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: 10:03 be merciful unto me according to thy word. 10:06 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet 10:10 unto thy testimonies. I made haste, 10:12 and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 10:15 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: 10:17 but I have not forgotten thy law. 10:19 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto 10:22 thee because of thy righteous judgments. 10:24 I am a companion of all them that fear thee, 10:28 and of them that keep thy precepts. 10:31 The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: 10:35 teach me thy statutes. Thou hast dealt well 10:39 with thy servant, O Lord, 10:40 according unto thy word. 10:41 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: 10:45 for I have believed thy commandments. 10:48 Before I was afflicted I went astray: 10:52 but now have I kept thy word. 10:54 Thou art good, and doest good; 10:57 teach me thy statutes. 10:59 The proud have forged a lie against me: 11:03 but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. 11:06 Their heart is as fat as grease; 11:10 but I delight in thy law. 11:12 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; 11:15 that I might learn thy statutes. 11:17 The law of thy mouth is better unto me 11:20 than thousands of gold and silver. 11:23 Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: 11:27 give me understanding, 11:29 that I may learn thy commandments. 11:32 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; 11:36 because I have hoped in thy word. 11:38 I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right, 11:42 and that thou in faithfulness has 11:46 afflicted me. Let, I pray thee, 11:49 thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, 11:52 according to thy word unto thy servant. 11:56 Let thy tender mercies come unto me, 11:58 that I may live: for thy law is my delight. 12:02 Let the proud be ashamed; 12:05 for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: 12:07 but I will meditate in thy precepts. 12:10 Let those that fear thee turn unto me, 12:13 and those that have known thy testimonies. 12:15 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; 12:18 that I be not ashamed. 12:21 My soul fainteth for thy salvation: 12:24 but I hope in thy word. 12:26 Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, 12:29 When wilt thou comfort me? 12:32 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; 12:35 yet do I not forget thy statutes. 12:39 How many are the days of thy servant? 12:42 When wilt thou execute judgment on them 12:44 that persecute me? 12:46 The proud have digged pits for me, 12:48 which are not after thy law. 12:49 All thy commandments are faithful: 12:51 they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me. 12:54 They had almost consumed me upon earth; 12:58 but I forsook not thy precepts. 13:00 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; 13:03 so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. 13:07 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled 13:10 in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto 13:13 all generations: thou hast established 13:16 the earth, and it abideth. 13:18 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: 13:21 for all are thy servants. 13:23 Unless thy law had been my delights, 13:26 I should then have perished in mine affliction. 13:29 I will never forget thy precepts: 13:32 for with them thou hast quickened me. 13:35 I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts. 13:40 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: 13:43 but I will consider thy testimonies. 13:46 I have seen an end of all perfection: 13:48 but thy commandment is exceeding broad. 13:52 O how love I thy law! 13:56 It is my meditation all the day. 13:59 Thou through thy commandments hast made 14:02 me wiser than mine enemies: 14:03 for they are ever with me. 14:05 I have more understanding than all my teachers: 14:08 for thy testimonies are my meditation. 14:11 I understand more than the ancients, 14:13 because I keep thy precepts. 14:15 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, 14:18 that I might keep thy word. 14:20 I have not departed from thy judgments: 14:22 for thou hast taught me. 14:24 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! 14:28 Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! 14:32 Through thy precepts I get understanding: 14:36 therefore I hate every false way. |
