00:15 Hello and welcome back to "His Words are Life."
00:18 I am Kelly Mower and today we are going 00:20 to continue reading together in the book 00:22 of Psalms, but let's pray before we start. 00:26 Dear Heavenly Father, it is so wonderful to 00:30 sit and to read the words of David 00:33 and the other authors of these songs 00:36 of praise to you, but more than 00:38 just hearing them, may they become 00:40 our song of praise to you also because 00:43 you have dealt so mercifully to 00:45 everyone of us. Thank you, we love you 00:47 and thank you for loving us, amen. 00:51 We are beginning in Psalm chapter 139 00:55 with verse 13, and this is the King James Version. 01:00 For thou hast possessed my reins: 01:03 thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 01:07 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and 01:09 wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; 01:13 and that my soul knoweth right well. 01:17 My substance was not hid from thee, 01:20 when I was made in secret, 01:21 and curiously wrought in the lowest 01:24 parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see 01:27 my substance, yet being unperfect; 01:30 and in thy book all my members were written, 01:34 which in continuance were fashioned, 01:37 when as yet there was none of them. 01:40 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, 01:44 O God! how great is the sum of them! 01:48 If I should count them, they are more in 01:50 number than the sand: when I awake, 01:54 I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay 01:58 the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, 02:00 ye bloody men. For they speak 02:03 against thee wickedly, and thine enemies 02:04 take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, 02:07 O LORD, that hate thee? And am not I grieved with 02:12 those that rise up against thee? 02:15 I hate them with perfect hatred: 02:17 I count them mine enemies. Search me, 02:21 O God, and know my heart: try me, 02:26 and know my thoughts: And see if there be any 02:29 wicked way in me, and lead me in the way 02:33 everlasting. Psalm 140. This is the 02:37 King James Version. Deliver me, O LORD, 02:41 from the evil man: preserve me from 02:44 the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs 02:47 in their heart; continually are they 02:49 gathered together for war. 02:52 They have sharpened their tongues 02:53 like a serpent; adders' poison is 02:56 under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O LORD, 02:59 from the hands of the wicked; 03:01 preserve me from the violent man; 03:04 who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 03:08 The proud have hid a snare for me, 03:10 and cords; they have spread a 03:12 net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. 03:16 Selah. I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: 03:22 hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 03:24 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, 03:28 thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 03:31 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: 03:35 further not his wicked device; 03:37 lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 03:41 As for the head of those that compass 03:42 me about, let the mischief of their own 03:45 lips cover them. Let burning coals 03:48 fall upon them: let them be cast into 03:50 the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up 03:53 again. Let not an evil speaker be established 03:57 in the earth: evil shall hunt the 04:00 violent man to overthrow him. 04:03 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause 04:07 of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. 04:11 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto 04:14 thy name: the upright shall dwell in 04:17 thy presence. Psalm chapter 141. Lord, 04:23 I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; 04:26 give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 04:29 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; 04:32 and the lifting up of my hands as the 04:35 evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O LORD, 04:40 before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 04:45 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, 04:48 to practise wicked works with men that work 04:50 iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. 04:54 Let the righteous smite me; 04:55 it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; 04:59 it shall be an excellent oil, 05:00 which shall not break my head: 05:03 for yet my prayer also shall be in 05:05 their calamities. When their judges are 05:08 overthrown in stony places, 05:09 they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 05:12 Our bones are scattered at the grave's 05:14 mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth 05:16 wood upon the earth. But mine eyes are unto 05:21 thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; 05:26 leave not my soul destitute. 05:29 Keep me from the snares which they 05:31 have laid for me, and the gins of the 05:32 workers of iniquity. Let the wicked fall 05:37 into their own nets, whilst that 05:38 I withal escape. Psalm 142: I cried unto 05:44 the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto 05:47 the LORD did I make my supplication. 05:49 I poured out my complaint before him; 05:52 I shewed before him my trouble. 05:55 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, 05:59 then thou knewest my path. 06:03 In the way wherein I walked have they 06:05 privily laid a snare for me. 06:08 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, 06:10 but there was no man that would know me: 06:12 refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. 06:16 I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, 06:18 Thou art my refuge and my portion in the 06:20 land of the living. Attend unto my cry; 06:24 for I am brought very low: 06:26 deliver me from my persecutors; 06:28 for they are stronger than I. 06:31 Bring my soul out of prison, 06:33 that I may praise thy name: 06:36 the righteous shall compass me about; 06:39 for thou shalt deal bountifully with me. 06:43 Psalm 143, this is the King James Version. 06:48 Hear my prayer, O LORD, 06:51 give ear to my supplications: 06:54 in thy faithfulness answer me, 06:56 and in thy righteousness. 06:59 And enter not into judgment with 07:01 thy servant: for in thy sight shall 07:05 no man living be justified. 07:09 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; 07:11 he hath smitten my life down to the ground; 07:14 he hath made me to dwell in darkness, 07:16 as those that have been long dead. 07:18 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; 07:21 my heart within me is desolate. 07:25 I remember the days of old; 07:27 I meditate on all thy works; 07:30 I muse on the work of thy hands. 07:34 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: 07:36 my soul thirsteth after thee, 07:39 as a thirsty land. Selah. Hear me speedily, 07:43 O LORD: my spirit faileth: 07:47 hide not thy face from me, 07:49 lest I be like unto them that go down 07:51 into the pit. Cause me to hear thy 07:55 lovingkindness in the morning; 07:57 for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the 08:01 way wherein I should walk; 08:04 for I lift up my soul unto thee. 08:07 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: 08:13 I flee unto thee to hide me. 08:14 Teach me to do thy will; 08:15 for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; 08:19 lead me into the land of uprightness. 08:22 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: 08:25 for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul 08:27 out of trouble. And of thy mercy 08:31 cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them 08:33 that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant. 08:38 Psalm 144: Blessed be the LORD my strength 08:44 which teacheth my hands to war, 08:46 and my fingers to fight: My goodness, 08:50 and my fortress; my high tower, 08:52 and my deliverer; my shield, 08:55 and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my 08:58 people under me. LORD, what is man, 09:03 that thou takest knowledge of him! 09:06 Or the son of man, that thou makest 09:08 account of him! Man is like to vanity: 09:11 his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 09:15 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: 09:18 touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. 09:21 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: 09:23 shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 09:26 Send thine hand from above; rid me, 09:28 and deliver me out of great waters, 09:30 from the hand of strange children; 09:32 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, 09:33 and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. 09:37 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: 09:40 upon a psaltery and an instrument of 09:41 ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 09:45 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: 09:47 who delivereth David his servant from the 09:50 hurtful sword. Rid me, and deliver me from 09:53 the hand of strange children, 09:54 whose mouth speaketh vanity, 09:56 and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: 10:00 That our sons may be as plants grown up 10:02 in their youth; that our daughters maybe as 10:05 corner stones, polished after the similitude 10:09 of a palace: That our garners may be full, 10:13 affording all manner of store: 10:18 that our sheep may bring forth thousands 10:19 and ten thousands in our streets: 10:20 That our oxen may be strong to labour; 10:23 that there be no breaking in, 10:26 nor going out; that there be no complaining 10:27 in our streets. Happy is that people, 10:31 that is in such a case: yea, 10:35 happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. 10:40 Psalm 145, and this is the King James Version. 10:45 I will extol thee, my God, O king; 10:48 and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. 10:51 Every day will I bless thee; 10:53 name for ever and ever. 10:56 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; 10:59 and his greatness is unsearchable. 11:02 One generation shall praise thy 11:03 works to another, and shall declare thy 11:05 mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious 11:08 honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous 11:11 works. And men shall speak of the might 11:14 of thy terrible acts: 11:15 and I will declare thy greatness. 11:19 They shall abundantly utter the memory 11:21 of thy great goodness, 11:22 and shall sing of thy righteousness. 11:25 The LORD is gracious, 11:26 and full of compassion; slow to anger, 11:30 and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: 11:34 and his tender mercies are over all his works. 11:38 All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; 11:40 and thy saints shall bless thee. 11:43 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, 11:45 and talk of thy power; 11:47 To make known to the sons of 11:48 men his mighty acts, and the glorious 11:50 majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an 11:54 everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion 11:57 endureth throughout all generations. 12:01 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, 12:05 and raiseth up all those that be bowed down. 12:08 The eyes of all wait upon thee; 12:10 and thou givest them their meat in due season. 12:13 Thou openest thine hand, 12:15 and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. 12:20 The LORD is righteous in all his ways, 12:22 and holy in all his works. 12:25 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, 12:29 to all that call upon him in truth. 12:33 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: 12:37 he also will hear their cry, 12:39 and will save them. The LORD preserveth 12:42 all them that love him: 12:44 but all the wicked will he destroy. 12:47 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: 12:51 and let all flesh bless his holy name 12:54 for ever and ever. Psalm 146, this is the 12:59 King James Version. Praise ye the LORD. 13:03 Praise the LORD, O my soul. 13:05 While I live will I praise the LORD: 13:07 I will sing praises unto my God while I 13:09 have any being. Put not your trust in princes, 13:13 nor in the son of man, 13:15 in whom there is no help. 13:17 His breath goeth forth, 13:19 he returneth to his earth; 13:21 in that very day his thoughts perish. 13:24 Happy is he that hath the God of 13:25 Jacob for his help, whose hope is in 13:28 the LORD his God: Which made heaven, 13:31 and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: 13:34 which keepeth truth for ever: 13:36 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: 13:39 which giveth food to the hungry. 13:41 The LORD looseth the prisoners: 13:43 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: 13:45 the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: 13:48 the LORD loveth the righteous: 13:50 The LORD preserveth the strangers; 13:53 he relieveth the fatherless and widow: 13:56 but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 13:59 The LORD shall reign for ever, 14:01 even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. 14:05 Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 147: 14:10 Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing 14:12 praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; 14:16 and praise is comely. The LORD doth build up 14:19 Jerusalem: he gathereth together 14:21 the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the 14:24 broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 14:28 He telleth the number of the stars; 14:30 he calleth them all by their names. 14:33 Great is our Lord, and of great power: 14:36 his understanding is infinite. |
