00:13 Hello, and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:15 I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today we're going to be reading 00:18 together in the book of Psalms. 00:20 Before we start, let's pray together. 00:22 Dear Heavenly Father, many of us come apart in this time with 00:27 things in our hearts, and on our minds, that would distract us 00:33 from hearing with a full heart, and full attention, Your words. 00:37 Please remove the distractions and let us focus entirely 00:41 on You, and worship You as we listen to Your words. 00:44 We love You so much, and thank You for loving us. 00:47 Amen. 00:48 Reading in the book of Psalms; this is the King James Version. 00:52 I'm beginning with Psalm 54. 00:54 Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. 01:00 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. 01:06 For strangers are risen up against me, 01:09 and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God 01:13 before them. 01:14 Selah. 01:15 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them 01:20 that uphold my soul. 01:22 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: 01:25 cut them off in thy truth. 01:27 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, 01:33 O Lord; for it is good. 01:34 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: 01:37 and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. 01:42 This is Psalm 55, of the King James Version. 01:46 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself 01:50 from my supplication. 01:51 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, 01:55 and make a noise; because of the voice of the enemy, 02:00 because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity 02:03 upon me, and in wrath they hate me. 02:06 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death 02:10 are fallen upon me. 02:12 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, 02:16 and horror hath overwhelmed me. 02:18 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! 02:21 for then would I fly away, and be at rest. 02:25 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. 02:29 Selah. 02:30 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest. 02:34 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: 02:37 for I have seen violence and strife in the city. 02:40 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: 02:43 mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 02:46 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart 02:51 not from her streets. 02:52 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; 02:55 then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me 02:59 that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself 03:03 from him: but it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, 03:08 and mine acquaintance. 03:09 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house 03:12 of God in company. 03:14 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick 03:18 into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, 03:20 and among them. 03:21 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. 03:27 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, 03:31 and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. 03:34 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was 03:39 against me: for there were many with me. 03:42 God shall hear, and afflict them, 03:44 even he that abideth of old. 03:46 Selah. 03:48 Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. 03:51 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace 03:54 with him: he hath broken his covenant. 03:56 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, 03:59 but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, 04:03 yet were they drawn swords. 04:06 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: 04:12 he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 04:15 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit 04:19 of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out 04:24 half their days; but I will trust in thee. 04:29 Continuing with Psalm 56, and this is the King James Version. 04:35 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; 04:40 he fighting daily oppresseth me. 04:43 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: 04:46 for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 04:50 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 04:54 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; 05:00 I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 05:04 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts 05:08 are against me for evil. 05:10 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, 05:14 they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 05:17 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down 05:23 the people, O God. 05:24 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: 05:30 are they not in thy book? 05:32 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: 05:37 this I know; for God is for me. 05:41 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise 05:46 his word. 05:47 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man 05:52 can do unto me. 05:53 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. 05:59 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: 06:02 wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, 06:06 that I may walk before God in the light of the living? 06:11 Continuing with Psalm 57. 06:14 This is the King James Version. 06:15 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: 06:20 for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings 06:24 will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. 06:30 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth 06:35 all things for me. 06:36 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him 06:40 that would swallow me up. 06:41 Selah. 06:42 God shall send forth his mercy and his truth. 06:46 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set 06:51 on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears 06:54 and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 06:58 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; 07:01 let thy glory be above all the earth. 07:04 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: 07:10 they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof 07:15 they are fallen themselves. 07:16 Selah. 07:17 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: 07:22 I will sing and give praise. 07:24 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: 07:28 I myself will awake early. 07:30 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: 07:32 I will sing unto thee among the nations. 07:35 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, 07:38 and thy truth unto the clouds. 07:40 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: 07:44 let thy glory be above all the earth. 07:48 Psalm 58. 07:51 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? 07:56 do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 08:00 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; 08:05 ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 08:09 The wicked are estranged from the womb: 08:12 they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. 08:16 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: 08:19 they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; 08:22 which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, 08:26 charming never so wisely. 08:28 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: 08:31 break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Lord. 08:34 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: 08:38 when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, 08:41 let them be as cut in pieces. 08:43 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: 08:49 like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not 08:52 see the sun. 08:53 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away 08:56 as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. 09:00 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: 09:04 he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 09:07 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward 09:11 for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. 09:17 Continuing with Psalm 59. 09:20 This is the King James Version. 09:25 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: 09:27 defend me from them that rise up against me. 09:31 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, 09:34 and save me from bloody men. 09:36 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: 09:40 the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, 09:45 nor for my sin, O Lord. 09:47 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: 09:51 awake to help me, and behold. 09:55 Thou therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, 09:59 awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any 10:03 wicked transgressors. 10:04 Selah. 10:05 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, 10:09 and go round about the city. 10:11 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: 10:13 swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? 10:17 But thou, O Lord, shall laugh at them; 10:22 thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. 10:25 Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: 10:28 for God is my defense. 10:31 The God of my mercy shall prevent me: 10:35 God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. 10:40 Slay them not, lest my people forget: 10:43 scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, 10:46 O Lord our shield. 10:48 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them 10:51 even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying 10:55 which they speak. 10:56 Consume them in wrath, consume them, 10:59 that they may not be: and let them know that God 11:02 ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. 11:06 Selah. 11:07 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like 11:11 a dog, and go round about the city. 11:13 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they 11:16 be not satisfied. 11:17 But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy 11:23 mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defense and refuge 11:29 in the day of my trouble. 11:30 Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: 11:34 for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy. 11:39 Reading now in Psalm 60. 11:43 This is the King James Version. 11:44 O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, 11:50 thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. 11:54 Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: 11:59 heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. 12:03 Thou hast shown thy people hard things: 12:06 thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. 12:10 Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, 12:13 that it may be displayed because of the truth. 12:16 Selah. 12:17 That thy beloved may be delivered; 12:20 save with thy right hand, and hear me. 12:23 God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, 12:29 I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth. 12:33 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine, 12:36 Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; 12:40 Judah is my lawgiver; Moab is my washpot; 12:43 over Edom will I cast out my shoe: 12:47 Philistia, triumph thou because of me. 12:50 Who will bring me into the strong city? 12:54 Who will lead me into Edom? 12:56 Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? 13:00 and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies? 13:05 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. 13:10 Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that 13:15 shall tread down our enemies. 13:17 Continuing with Psalm 61. 13:20 This is the King James Version. 13:21 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. 13:27 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, 13:30 when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock 13:34 that is higher than I. 13:35 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower 13:40 from the enemy. 13:41 I will abide in thy tabernacle forever: 13:44 I will trust in the covert of thy wings. 13:47 Selah. 13:48 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: 13:52 thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name. 13:55 Thou wilt prolong the king's life: 13:58 and his years as many generations. 14:01 He shall abide before God forever: 14:04 O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him. 14:07 So will I sing praise unto thy name forever, 14:11 that I may daily perform my vows. 14:15 Continuing with Psalm 62. 14:17 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. 14:25 He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; 14:31 I shall not be greatly moved. 14:34 Please join me again next time to read the word 14:36 of God together. 14:37 Goodbye. |
