Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life.
00:00:15.34\00:00:16.91
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank
you for joining with me today
00:00:16.94\00:00:20.55
to read the Word of God.
Today we'll be reading from the
00:00:20.58\00:00:23.10
book of Psalms.
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:23.13\00:00:25.44
Dear God, thank you so much
for this time to come into your
00:00:25.47\00:00:30.04
presence and to thank
you for your goodness to us.
00:00:30.07\00:00:34.07
As we read these words, may they
become real to us as we recall
00:00:34.10\00:00:39.99
how you have blessed us
so greatly in our lives.
00:00:40.02\00:00:42.24
We love you so much and
thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:00:42.27\00:00:45.19
We're starting
today in Psalms 7 verse 3.
00:00:45.22\00:00:49.96
And this is the
King James Version.
00:00:49.99\00:00:51.48
O Lord my God, If I have
done this; if there be iniquity
00:00:51.51\00:00:57.56
in my hands; If I have rewarded
evil unto him that was at peace
00:00:57.59\00:01:02.18
with me;(yea, I have delivered
him that without cause is mine
00:01:02.21\00:01:06.82
enemy:) Let the enemy
persecute my soul, and take it;
00:01:06.85\00:01:11.00
yea, let him tread down my life
upon the earth, and lay mine
00:01:11.03\00:01:15.17
honor in the dust. Selah. Arise,
O Lord, in thine anger, lift up
00:01:15.20\00:01:20.29
thyself because of the rage of
mine enemies: and awake for me
00:01:20.32\00:01:25.04
to the judgment
that thou hast commanded.
00:01:25.07\00:01:27.38
So shall the congregation of
the people compass thee about:
00:01:27.41\00:01:31.92
for their sakes
therefore return thou on high.
00:01:31.95\00:01:35.96
The Lord shall judge the people:
judge me, O Lord, according
00:01:35.99\00:01:41.37
to my righteousness, and
according to mine integrity
00:01:41.40\00:01:43.98
that is in me. Oh let
the wickedness of the wicked
00:01:44.01\00:01:47.54
come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God
00:01:47.57\00:01:52.99
trieth the hearts and reins. My
defense is of God, which saveth
00:01:53.02\00:01:59.75
the upright in heart.
God judgeth the righteous,
00:01:59.78\00:02:03.48
and God is angry with the wicked
every day. If he turn not,
00:02:03.51\00:02:08.06
he will whet his sword; he hath
bent his bow, and made it ready.
00:02:08.09\00:02:11.82
He hath also prepared for
him the instruments of death;
00:02:11.85\00:02:15.13
he ordaineth his arrows
against the persecutors. Behold,
00:02:15.16\00:02:18.64
he travaileth with iniquity,
and hath conceived mischief,
00:02:18.67\00:02:21.60
and brought forth falsehood.
He made a pit, and digged it,
00:02:21.63\00:02:24.87
and is fallen into
the ditch which he made.
00:02:24.90\00:02:28.12
His mischief shall return upon
his own head, and his violent
00:02:28.15\00:02:32.84
dealing shall come down upon his
own pate. I will praise the Lord
00:02:32.87\00:02:38.01
according to his righteousness:
and will sing praise to the name
00:02:38.04\00:02:42.43
of the Lord most high. -
We're continuing in Psalm 8.
00:02:42.46\00:02:47.11
This is the King James
Version. To the chief Musician
00:02:47.14\00:02:51.44
upon Gittith, A Psalm of David.
O Lord, our Lord, how excellent
00:02:51.47\00:02:58.56
is thy name in all the
earth! who hast set thy glory
00:02:58.59\00:03:02.72
above the heavens. Out of
the mouth of babes and sucklings
00:03:02.75\00:03:06.57
hast thou ordained strength
because of thine enemies,
00:03:06.60\00:03:09.79
that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger.
00:03:09.82\00:03:12.92
When I consider thy heavens,
the work of thy fingers,
00:03:12.95\00:03:17.46
the moon and the stars, which
thou hast ordained; What is man,
00:03:17.49\00:03:22.80
that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou
00:03:22.83\00:03:27.83
visitest him? For thou hast
made him a little lower than the
00:03:27.86\00:03:31.86
angels, and hast crowned
him with glory and honor.
00:03:31.89\00:03:34.67
Thou madest him to have dominion
over the works of thy hands;
00:03:34.70\00:03:38.75
thou hast put all things under
his feet: All sheep and oxen,
00:03:38.78\00:03:43.84
yea, and the beasts of
the field; the fowl of the air
00:03:43.87\00:03:46.60
and the fish of the sea, and
whatsoever passeth through the
00:03:46.63\00:03:48.83
paths of the seas. O Lord our
Lord, how excellent is thy name
00:03:48.86\00:03:53.95
in all the earth! - Continuing
with Psalm 9. To the chief
00:03:53.98\00:03:59.74
Musician upon
Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.
00:03:59.77\00:04:03.10
I will praise thee O Lord,
with my whole heart; I will shew
00:04:03.13\00:04:09.17
forth all thy marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice
00:04:09.20\00:04:13.18
in thee: I will sing praise
to thy name, O thou Most High.
00:04:13.21\00:04:16.99
When mine enemies are turned
back, they shall fall and perish
00:04:17.02\00:04:22.07
at thy presence. For thou hast
maintained my right and my cause
00:04:22.10\00:04:27.42
Thou satest in the throne
judging right. Thou hast rebuked
00:04:27.45\00:04:32.78
the heathen, thou hast destroyed
the wicked, thou hast put out
00:04:32.81\00:04:36.26
their name for ever and
ever. O thou enemy, destructions
00:04:36.29\00:04:41.43
are come to a perpetual end:
and thou hast destroyed cities;
00:04:41.46\00:04:45.00
their memorial is perished with
them. But the Lord shall endure
00:04:45.03\00:04:49.56
forever: he hath prepared
his throne for judgment.
00:04:49.59\00:04:52.60
And he shall judge the world in
righteousness, he shall minister
00:04:52.63\00:04:56.20
judgment to the
people in uprightness.
00:04:56.23\00:04:58.52
The Lord also will be a refuge
for the oppressed, a refuge
00:04:58.55\00:05:03.87
in times of trouble.
And they that know thy name
00:05:03.90\00:05:07.98
will put their trust in
thee: for thou, Lord, hast not
00:05:08.01\00:05:12.69
forsaken them that seek
thee. Sing praises to the Lord,
00:05:12.72\00:05:17.11
which dwelleth in Zion: declare
among the people his doings.
00:05:17.14\00:05:20.93
When he maketh inquisition
for blood, he remembereth them:
00:05:20.96\00:05:24.84
he forgetteth not the cry of
the humble. Have mercy upon me,
00:05:24.87\00:05:30.49
O Lord; consider my trouble
which I suffer of them that
00:05:30.52\00:05:34.15
hate me, thou that liftest
me up from the gates of death:
00:05:34.18\00:05:37.74
that I may shew forth all
thy praise in the gates of the
00:05:37.77\00:05:41.59
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice
in thy salvation. The heathen
00:05:41.62\00:05:47.62
are sunk down in the pit
that they made: in the net which
00:05:47.65\00:05:52.04
they hid is their own foot
taken. The Lord is known by the
00:05:52.07\00:05:56.71
judgment which he executeth:
the wicked is snared in the work
00:05:56.74\00:06:00.83
of his own
hands. Higaion. Selah.
00:06:00.86\00:06:05.07
The wicked shall be turned into
hell, and all the nations that
00:06:05.10\00:06:09.31
forget God. For the needy
shall not alway be forgotten:
00:06:09.34\00:06:13.13
the expectation of the
poor shall not perish for ever.
00:06:13.16\00:06:17.23
Arise, O Lord; let not man
prevail: let the heathen be
00:06:17.26\00:06:23.41
judged in thy sight.
Put them in fear, O Lord:
00:06:23.44\00:06:27.77
that the nations may know
themselves to be but men. Selah
00:06:27.80\00:06:33.34
Continuing with Psalm 10.
Why standest thou afar off,
00:06:33.37\00:06:39.75
O Lord? why hidest thou
thyself in times of trouble?
00:06:39.78\00:06:44.57
The wicked in his pride
doth persecute the poor:
00:06:44.60\00:06:49.09
let them be taken in the
devices than they have imagined.
00:06:49.12\00:06:52.81
For the wicked boasteth of his
heart's desire, and blesseth the
00:06:52.84\00:06:57.09
covetous, whom the
Lord abhorreth. The wicked,
00:06:57.12\00:07:01.13
through the pride of his
countenance, will not seek after
00:07:01.16\00:07:04.70
God: God is not in all his
thoughts. His ways are always
00:07:04.73\00:07:09.97
grievous; thy judgments
are far above out of his sight:
00:07:10.00\00:07:14.83
as for all his
enemies, he puffeth at them.
00:07:14.86\00:07:17.91
He hath said in his heart,
I shall not be moved; for I
00:07:17.94\00:07:22.28
shall never be in adversity.
His mouth is full of cursing
00:07:22.32\00:07:26.63
and deceit and fraud: under his
tongue is mischief and vanity.
00:07:26.66\00:07:31.15
He sitteth in the lurking places
of the villages: in the secret
00:07:31.18\00:07:35.48
places doth he murder the
innocent: his eyes are privily
00:07:35.51\00:07:39.58
set against the poor: he
lieth in wait secretly as a lion
00:07:39.61\00:07:44.72
in his den: he lieth in wait
to catch the poor, he doth catch
00:07:44.75\00:07:49.45
the poor, when he draweth
him into his net. He croucheth,
00:07:49.48\00:07:53.71
and humbleth himself, that the
poor may fall by his strong ones
00:07:53.74\00:07:57.75
He hath said in his
heart, God hath forgotten;
00:07:57.78\00:08:02.12
he hideth his face;
He will never see it;
00:08:02.15\00:08:05.86
Arise, O Lord; O God,
lift up thine hand: forget not
00:08:05.89\00:08:12.35
the humble. Wherefore
doth the wicked contemn God?
00:08:12.38\00:08:16.15
He hath said in his
heart, Thou wilt not require it
00:08:16.18\00:08:18.90
Thou hast seen it: for thou
beholdest mischief and spite,
00:08:18.93\00:08:24.18
to requite it with thy hand:
the poor committeth himself
00:08:24.21\00:08:28.92
unto thee; thou art the
helper of the fatherless.
00:08:28.95\00:08:32.68
Break thou the arm of the wicked
and the evil man: seek out his
00:08:32.71\00:08:38.46
wickedness till thou find none
The Lord is king for ever and
00:08:38.49\00:08:43.86
ever: the heathen are perished
out of his land. Lord, thou hast
00:08:43.89\00:08:48.92
heard the desire of the humble:
thou wilt prepare their heart,
00:08:48.95\00:08:52.59
thou wilt cause thine ear to
hear: to judge the fatherless
00:08:52.62\00:08:56.41
and the oppressed, that the man
of the earth may no more oppress
00:08:56.44\00:09:01.87
We're continuing with Psalm 11.
This is the King James Version.
00:09:01.90\00:09:06.82
To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David.
00:09:06.85\00:09:11.08
In the Lord put I my
trust: how say ye to my soul,
00:09:11.11\00:09:18.09
Flee as a bird to your mountain?
For, lo, the wicked bend their
00:09:18.12\00:09:21.76
bow, they make ready their arrow
upon the string, that they may
00:09:21.79\00:09:24.56
privily shoot at the upright
in heart. If the foundations be
00:09:24.59\00:09:30.17
destroyed, what
can the righteous do?
00:09:30.20\00:09:32.76
The Lord is in his holy temple,
the Lord's throne is in heaven:
00:09:32.79\00:09:38.12
his eyes behold, his
eyelids try the children of men.
00:09:38.15\00:09:42.89
The Lord trieth the righteous:
but the wicked and him that
00:09:42.92\00:09:47.44
loveth violence his soul hateth.
Upon the wicked he shall rain
00:09:47.47\00:09:52.33
snares, fire and brimstone,
and an horrible tempest:
00:09:52.36\00:09:56.13
this shall be the portion
of their cup. For the righteous
00:09:56.16\00:10:00.48
Lord loveth righteousness;
his countenance doth behold
00:10:00.51\00:10:05.54
the upright. - Psalm
12. To the chief Musician
00:10:05.57\00:10:11.62
upon Sheminith, A
Psalm of David. - Help, Lord;
00:10:11.65\00:10:16.90
for the godly man ceaseth; for
the faithful fail from among the
00:10:16.93\00:10:22.10
children of men. They
speak vanity every one with his
00:10:22.13\00:10:25.43
neighbor: with flattering
lips and with a double heart
00:10:25.46\00:10:28.33
do they speak. The Lord shall
cut off all flattering lips,
00:10:28.36\00:10:32.25
and the tongue that speaketh
proud things: Who hath said,
00:10:32.28\00:10:36.05
With our tongue will we
prevail; our lips are our own:
00:10:36.08\00:10:39.10
who is lord over us? For
the oppression of the poor,
00:10:39.13\00:10:43.41
for the sighing of the needy,
now will I arise, saith the Lord
00:10:43.44\00:10:48.60
I will set him in safety
from him that puffeth at him.
00:10:48.63\00:10:53.17
The words of the Lord are
pure words: as silver tried in a
00:10:53.20\00:10:59.14
furnace of earth, purified seven
times. Thou shalt keep them,
00:10:59.17\00:11:03.20
O Lord, thou shalt preserve
them from this generation
00:11:03.23\00:11:06.51
for ever. The wicked walk on
every side, when the vilest men
00:11:06.54\00:11:11.16
are exalted. - Psalm 13. To the
chief Musician, A Psalm of David
00:11:11.19\00:11:18.52
How long wilt thou forget me,
O Lord? for ever? how long wilt
00:11:18.55\00:11:25.30
thou hide thy face from me?
How long shall I take counsel
00:11:25.33\00:11:28.29
in my soul, having sorrow in my
heart daily? how long shall mine
00:11:28.32\00:11:32.64
enemy be exalted over me?
Consider and hear me, O Lord,
00:11:32.67\00:11:37.79
my God: lighten mine eyes,
lest I sleep the sleep of death;
00:11:37.82\00:11:42.50
Lest mine enemy say, I
have prevailed against him;
00:11:42.53\00:11:45.41
and those that trouble
me rejoice when I am moved.
00:11:45.44\00:11:48.74
But I have trusted in thy
mercy; my heart shall rejoice in
00:11:48.77\00:11:54.78
thy salvation. I will sing unto
the Lord, because he hath dealt
00:11:54.81\00:11:59.48
bountifully with me. - Psalm 14
This is the King James Version.
00:11:59.51\00:12:05.21
To the chief
Musician, A psalm of David.
00:12:05.24\00:12:09.15
The fool hath said in
his heart, There is no God.
00:12:09.18\00:12:13.69
They are corrupt, they have done
abominable works, there is none
00:12:13.72\00:12:18.56
that doeth good. The Lord
looked down from heaven upon the
00:12:18.59\00:12:22.20
children of men, to see if there
were any that did understand,
00:12:22.23\00:12:25.31
and seek God. They are all gone
aside, they are all together
00:12:25.34\00:12:30.27
become filthy: there is none
that doeth good, no, not one.
00:12:30.30\00:12:34.86
Have all the workers of iniquity
no knowledge? who eat up my
00:12:34.89\00:12:39.34
people as they eat bread,
and call not upon the Lord.
00:12:39.37\00:12:42.42
There were they in great fear:
for God is in the generation
00:12:42.45\00:12:47.36
of the righteous. Ye have
shamed the counsel of the poor,
00:12:47.39\00:12:51.62
because the Lord is his refuge.
O that the salvation of Israel
00:12:51.65\00:12:57.32
were come out of Zion! when the
Lord bringeth back the captivity
00:12:57.35\00:13:01.47
of his people, Jacob shall
rejoice and Israel shall be glad
00:13:01.50\00:13:06.57
Psalm 15. This is the King
James Version. A Psalm of David.
00:13:06.60\00:13:11.89
Lord, who shall abide in
thy tabernacle? who shall dwell
00:13:11.92\00:13:18.10
in thy holy hill? He that
walketh uprightly, and worketh
00:13:18.13\00:13:23.30
righteousness, and
speaketh the truth in his heart.
00:13:23.33\00:13:26.81
He that backbiteth not with his
tongue, nor doeth evil to his
00:13:26.84\00:13:32.59
neighbor, nor taketh up a
reproach against his neighbor.
00:13:32.62\00:13:36.47
In whose eyes a vile person is
contemned; but he honoreth them
00:13:36.50\00:13:42.18
that fear the Lord. He
that sweareth to his own hurt,
00:13:42.21\00:13:46.17
and changeth not. He
that putteth not out his money
00:13:46.20\00:13:50.14
to usury, nor taketh
reward against the innocent.
00:13:50.17\00:13:53.67
He that doeth these
things shall never be moved.
00:13:53.70\00:13:58.14
Psalm 16. Michtam of David.
Preserve me, O God: for in thee
00:13:58.17\00:14:06.13
do I put my trust. O my soul,
thou hast said unto the Lord,
00:14:06.16\00:14:10.52
Thou art my Lord: my
goodness extendeth not to thee;
00:14:10.55\00:14:14.53
But to the saints that are in
the earth, and to the excellent,
00:14:14.56\00:14:17.78
in whom is all my delight. Their
sorrows shall be multiplied
00:14:17.81\00:14:22.33
that hasten after another god:
their drink offerings of blood
00:14:22.36\00:14:25.84
will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips.
00:14:25.87\00:14:29.27
The Lord is the portion of
mine inheritance and of my cup:
00:14:29.30\00:14:34.52
thou maintainest my lot.
Please join me again next time
00:14:34.55\00:14:39.08
to read the word of God.
