00:13 Hello, and welcome back to His Words Are Life. 00:16 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today we're going to be reading 00:19 in the book of Psalms together. 00:21 But before we start, let's pray. 00:23 Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing us to this time 00:29 to hear from Your servant, David, practical expressions 00:34 of what it is like to live, and to walk, closely with You. 00:38 Please send the Holy Spirit to bring these words to life 00:41 within our hearts. 00:42 We love You so much, and thank You for loving us. 00:44 Amen. 00:46 We're picking up in Psalm 39, verse 12, and this is the 00:50 King James Version. 00:53 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; 00:56 hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, 01:01 and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. 01:04 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, 01:10 and be no more. 01:11 Continuing now with Psalm 40. 01:12 This is the King James Version. 01:14 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, 01:20 and heard my cry. 01:22 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, 01:25 out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, 01:31 and established my goings. 01:33 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: 01:38 many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. 01:43 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, 01:48 and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 01:53 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast 01:58 done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be 02:02 reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak 02:07 of them, they are more than can be numbered. 02:10 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; 02:13 mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering 02:18 hast thou not required. 02:20 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written 02:26 of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, 02:31 thy law is within my heart. 02:34 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: 02:38 lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest. 02:43 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; 02:46 I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: 02:50 I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth 02:54 from the great congregation. 02:56 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: 03:01 let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 03:05 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: 03:10 mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able 03:14 to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: 03:18 therefore my heart faileth me. 03:20 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste 03:26 to help me. 03:27 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek 03:32 after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward 03:38 and put to shame that wish me evil. 03:40 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say 03:44 unto me, Aha, aha. 03:45 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: 03:51 let such as love thy salvation say continually, 03:56 The Lord be magnified. 03:59 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: 04:04 thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, 04:10 O my God. 04:11 Continuing with Psalm 41. 04:14 Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the Lord will deliver 04:21 him in time of trouble. 04:22 The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; 04:26 and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver 04:31 him unto the will of his enemies. 04:32 The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: 04:36 thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 04:40 I said, Lord, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; 04:45 for I have sinned against thee. 04:47 Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, 04:50 and his name perish? 04:52 And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: 04:55 his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, 04:59 he telleth it. 05:00 All that hate me whisper together against me: 05:03 against me do thy devise my hurt. 05:06 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: 05:10 and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 05:14 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, 05:17 which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. 05:22 But thou, O Lord, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, 05:27 that I may requite them. 05:30 By this I know that thou favorest me, 05:33 because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. 05:37 And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, 05:42 and settest me before thy face forever. 05:45 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, 05:49 and to everlasting. 05:51 Amen, and Amen. 05:53 Continuing now with Psalm 42, and this is the 05:56 King James Version. 05:57 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, 06:01 so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 06:04 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: 06:09 when shall I come and appear before God? 06:12 My tears have been my meat day and night, 06:15 while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? 06:19 When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: 06:23 for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them 06:26 to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, 06:30 with a multitude that kept holy day. 06:32 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou 06:37 disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise 06:42 him for the help of his countenance. 06:44 O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I 06:49 remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, 06:54 from the hill Mizar. 06:55 Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: 07:00 all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. 07:04 Yet the Lord will command his loving-kindness in the daytime, 07:10 and in the night his song shall be with me, 07:14 and my prayer unto the God of my life. 07:17 I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? 07:22 why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? 07:27 As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; 07:31 while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? 07:35 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou 07:39 disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise 07:45 him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 07:49 Continuing with Psalm 43. 07:51 Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: 07:56 O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. 08:00 For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast 08:04 me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression 08:08 of the enemy? 08:09 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; 08:14 let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles. 08:19 Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God my exceeding joy: 08:25 yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O God my God. 08:30 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou 08:36 disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, 08:42 who is the health of my countenance, and my God. 08:45 Continuing with Psalm 44, and this is the 08:48 King James Version. 08:50 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us 08:55 what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. 09:00 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, 09:04 and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, 09:07 and cast them out. 09:09 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, 09:13 neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, 09:18 and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, 09:21 because thou hadst a favor unto them. 09:24 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 09:29 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name 09:35 will we tread them under that rise up against us. 09:39 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 09:43 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and has put them 09:47 to shame that hated us. 09:49 In God we boast all the day long, and praise 09:53 they name for ever. 09:55 Selah. 09:57 But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; 10:00 and goest not forth with our armies. 10:03 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: 10:06 and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 10:09 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; 10:12 and hast scattered us among the heathen. 10:14 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase 10:17 thy wealth by their price. 10:19 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbors, 10:22 a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 10:27 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, 10:29 a shaking of the head among the people. 10:32 My confusion is continually before me, 10:35 and the shame of my face hath covered me, 10:38 for the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; 10:41 by reason of the enemy and avenger. 10:44 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, 10:50 neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 10:53 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined 10:57 from thy way; though thou hast sore broken us in the place of 11:01 dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 11:04 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our 11:09 hands to a strange god; shall not God search this out? 11:14 for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 11:16 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; 11:22 we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 11:26 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, 11:30 cast us not off forever. 11:33 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction 11:37 and our oppression? 11:39 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth 11:44 unto the earth. 11:45 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake. 11:51 Continuing with Psalm 45, and this is the King James Version. 11:55 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things 12:00 which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen 12:05 of a ready writer. 12:07 Thou art fairer than the children of men: 12:10 grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath 12:16 blessed thee forever. 12:17 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, 12:22 with thy glory and thy majesty. 12:24 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth 12:28 and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach 12:33 thee terrible things. 12:34 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; 12:38 whereby the people fall under thee. 12:42 Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: 12:45 the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. 12:49 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: 12:53 therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of 12:57 gladness above thy fellows. 12:59 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, 13:04 out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have 13:08 made thee glad. 13:09 Kings' daughters were among thy honorable women: 13:13 upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 13:17 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; 13:21 forget also thine own people, and thy father's house; 13:25 so shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; 13:29 and worship thou him. 13:30 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; 13:34 even the rich among the people shall entreat thy favor. 13:38 The king's daughter is all glorious within: 13:41 her clothing is of wrought gold. 13:43 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: 13:46 the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought 13:50 unto thee. 13:51 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: 13:54 they shall enter into the king's palace. 13:57 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, 14:00 whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth. 14:04 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: 14:08 therefore shall the people praise thee forever and ever. 14:13 Continuing with Psalm 46. 14:16 This is the King James Version. 14:17 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 14:25 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, 14:28 and though the mountains be carried into the midst 14:30 of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, 14:34 though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. 14:37 Selah. |
