Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life.
00:00:14.12\00:00:16.04
I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank
you for joining with me today
00:00:16.07\00:00:19.19
to read the beautiful Psalms.
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:19.22\00:00:22.46
Dear God, thank you for
these words that so beautifully
00:00:22.49\00:00:28.63
express both our praise to you
and our cries to you for help.
00:00:28.66\00:00:32.65
Please be with us now as we
read and bring to our hearts
00:00:32.68\00:00:36.59
the assurance that
you hear our prayer.
00:00:36.62\00:00:38.69
Thank you so much
for loving us. Amen.
00:00:38.72\00:00:40.75
We're picking up
in Psalm 16, verse 6,
00:00:40.78\00:00:44.98
This is the King James Version.
The lines are fallen unto me
00:00:45.01\00:00:50.27
in pleasant places; yea,
I have a goodly heritage.
00:00:50.30\00:00:54.01
I will bless the Lord,
who hath given me counsel:
00:00:54.04\00:00:58.03
my reins also instruct
me in the night seasons.
00:00:58.06\00:01:01.44
I have set the
Lord always before me:
00:01:01.47\00:01:04.64
because he is at my right
hand, I shall not be moved.
00:01:04.67\00:01:08.53
Therefore my heart is
glad, and my glory rejoiceth:
00:01:08.56\00:01:12.77
my flesh also shall rest in
hope. For thou wilt not leave my
00:01:12.80\00:01:17.69
soul in hell; neither wilt thou
suffer thine Holy One to see
00:01:17.72\00:01:21.24
corruption. Thou wilt
shew me the path of life:
00:01:21.27\00:01:24.84
in thy presence
is fulness of joy;
00:01:24.87\00:01:28.41
at thy right hand there
are pleasures for evermore.
00:01:28.44\00:01:32.20
Psalm 17. A Prayer of
David. Hear the right, O Lord,
00:01:32.23\00:01:38.76
attend unto my cry, give ear
unto my prayer, that goeth not
00:01:38.79\00:01:43.86
out of feigned lips. Let my
sentence come forth from thy
00:01:43.89\00:01:47.79
presence; let thine eyes behold
the things that are equal.
00:01:47.82\00:01:52.22
Thou hast proved mine
heart; thou hast visited me
00:01:52.25\00:01:57.03
in the night; thou hast
tried me and shalt find nothing;
00:01:57.06\00:02:00.49
I am purposed that my
mouth shall not transgress.
00:02:00.52\00:02:04.55
Concerning the works of
men, by the word of thy lips
00:02:04.58\00:02:08.95
I have kept me from
the paths of the destroyer.
00:02:08.98\00:02:12.11
Hold up my goings in thy paths,
that my footsteps slip not.
00:02:12.14\00:02:17.50
I have called upon thee,
for thou wilt hear me, O God:
00:02:17.53\00:02:21.93
Incline thine ear unto
me, and hear my speech.
00:02:21.96\00:02:26.00
Shew thy marvelous loving
kindness, O thou that savest
00:02:26.03\00:02:30.45
by thy right hand them that put
their trust in thee from those
00:02:30.48\00:02:34.32
that rise up against them.
Keep me as the apple of the eye,
00:02:34.35\00:02:39.15
hide me under the shadow of
thy wings, from the wicked that
00:02:39.18\00:02:43.46
oppress me, from my deadly
enemies, who compass me about.
00:02:43.49\00:02:47.49
They are enclosed in their own
fat: with their mouth they speak
00:02:47.52\00:02:51.71
Proudly. They have now compassed
us in our steps: they have set
00:02:51.74\00:02:55.45
their eyes bowing down to the
earth; like as a lion that is
00:02:55.48\00:02:59.18
greedy of his prey, and as
it were a young lion lurking in
00:02:59.21\00:03:02.78
secret places. Arise, O Lord,
disappoint him, cast him down:
00:03:02.81\00:03:08.66
deliver my soul from the
wicked, which is thy sword:
00:03:08.69\00:03:12.88
>From men which are thy hand,
O Lord, from men of the world.
00:03:12.91\00:03:16.61
which have their portion in
this life, and whose belly thou
00:03:16.64\00:03:19.97
fillest with thy hid treasure:
they are full of children,
00:03:20.00\00:03:23.22
and leave the rest of
their substance to their babes.
00:03:23.25\00:03:25.27
As for me, I will behold
thy face in righteousness:
00:03:25.30\00:03:30.74
I shall be satisfied, when
I awake, with thy likeness.
00:03:30.77\00:03:35.52
Psalm 18. This is
the King James Version.
00:03:35.55\00:03:39.60
To the chief Musician, A Psalm
of David, to the servant of the
00:03:39.63\00:03:45.21
Lord. Who spake unto the Lord
the words of this song in the
00:03:45.24\00:03:49.06
day that the Lord delivered
him from the hand of all his
00:03:49.09\00:03:51.99
enemies, and from the
hand of Saul: And he said,
00:03:52.02\00:03:55.79
I will love thee, O Lord, my
strength. The Lord is my rock,
00:03:55.82\00:04:00.62
and my fortress, and my
deliverer; my God, my strength,
00:04:00.65\00:04:06.07
in whom I will trust; my buckler
and the horn of my salvation,
00:04:06.10\00:04:10.08
and my high tower. I will call
upon the Lord, who is worthy
00:04:10.11\00:04:15.62
to be praised: so shall I
be saved from mine enemies.
00:04:15.65\00:04:20.01
The sorrows of death compassed
me, and the floods of ungodly
00:04:20.04\00:04:24.72
men made me afraid. The sorrows
of hell compassed me about:
00:04:24.75\00:04:29.20
the snares of death prevented
me. In my distress I called upon
00:04:29.23\00:04:33.61
the Lord and cried unto my God:
he heard my voice out of his
00:04:33.64\00:04:38.01
temple, and my cry came
before him, even into his ears.
00:04:38.04\00:04:42.16
Then the earth shook and
trembled; the foundations also
00:04:42.19\00:04:47.87
of the hills moved and were
shaken, because he was wroth.
00:04:47.90\00:04:51.53
There went up a smoke out of his
nostrils, and fire out of his
00:04:51.56\00:04:55.70
mouth devoured:
coals were kindled by it.
00:04:55.73\00:04:58.60
He bowed the heavens also,
and came down: and darkness was
00:04:58.63\00:05:02.97
under his feet. And he rode
upon a cherub, and did fly: yea,
00:05:03.00\00:05:06.94
he did fly upon the wings of
the wind. He made darkness his
00:05:06.97\00:05:10.77
secret place; his pavilion round
about him were dark waters and
00:05:10.80\00:05:14.96
thick clouds of the skies. At
the brightness that was before
00:05:14.99\00:05:18.87
him his thick clouds passed,
hail stones and coals of fire.
00:05:18.90\00:05:23.07
The Lord also thundered in the
heavens, and the Highest gave
00:05:23.10\00:05:27.15
his voice; hail stones and coals
of fire. Yea he sent out his
00:05:27.18\00:05:32.48
arrows, and scattered them;
and he shot out lightnings,
00:05:32.51\00:05:36.10
and discomfited them. Then the
channels of waters were seen,
00:05:36.13\00:05:40.43
and the foundations of the world
were discovered at thy rebuke,
00:05:40.46\00:05:43.89
O Lord, at the blast of
the breath of thy nostrils.
00:05:43.92\00:05:46.50
He sent from above, he took me,
he drew me out of many waters.
00:05:46.53\00:05:53.15
He delivered me from my strong
enemy, and from them which hated
00:05:53.18\00:05:58.12
me: for they were too strong for
me. They prevented me in the day
00:05:58.15\00:06:02.69
of my calamity: but the Lord
was my stay. He brought me forth
00:06:02.72\00:06:08.03
also into a large place;
he delivered me, because he
00:06:08.06\00:06:12.65
delighted in me. The Lord
rewarded me according to my
00:06:12.68\00:06:16.59
righteousness; according to the
cleanness of my hands hath he
00:06:16.62\00:06:20.47
recompensed me. For I have kept
the ways of the Lord, and have
00:06:20.50\00:06:24.27
not wickedly departed from my
God. For all his judgments were
00:06:24.30\00:06:28.32
before me and I did not
put away his statutes from me.
00:06:28.35\00:06:30.96
I was also upright before
him, and I kept myself from mine
00:06:30.99\00:06:35.43
iniquity. Therefore hath the
Lord recompensed me according
00:06:35.46\00:06:40.05
to my righteousness, according
to the cleanness of my hands
00:06:40.08\00:06:43.45
in his eyesight. With the
merciful thou wilt shew thyself
00:06:43.48\00:06:48.33
merciful; with an upright man
thou wilt shew thyself upright;
00:06:48.36\00:06:53.19
with the pure thou wilt
shew thyself pure; and with the
00:06:53.22\00:06:58.28
froward thou wilt shew thyself
froward. For thou wilt save
00:06:58.31\00:07:01.60
the afflicted people; but
wilt bring down high looks.
00:07:01.63\00:07:05.68
For thou wilt light my candle:
the Lord my God will enlighten
00:07:05.71\00:07:10.94
my darkness. For by thee I have
run through a troop, and by my
00:07:10.97\00:07:15.31
God have I leaped over a wall.
As for God, his way is perfect:
00:07:15.34\00:07:20.65
the word of the Lord is tried:
he is a buckler to all those
00:07:20.68\00:07:24.63
that trust in him. For
who is God, save the Lord?
00:07:24.66\00:07:28.82
For who is a rock save our God?
It is God that girdeth me with
00:07:28.85\00:07:34.09
strength, and maketh my way
perfect. He maketh my feet like
00:07:34.12\00:07:38.72
hinds feet, and setteth me upon
my high places. He teacheth my
00:07:38.75\00:07:42.57
hands to war, so that a bow
of steel is broken my mine arms.
00:07:42.60\00:07:45.93
Thou hast also given me
the shield of thy salvation:
00:07:45.96\00:07:49.96
and thy right hand hath holden
me up, and thy gentleness hath
00:07:49.99\00:07:54.85
made me great. Thou hast
enlarged my steps under me,
00:07:54.88\00:07:58.80
that my feet did not slip.
I have pursued mine enemies,
00:07:58.83\00:08:02.98
and overtaken them: neither
did I turn again till they were
00:08:03.01\00:08:07.28
consumed. I have wounded them
that they were not able to rise:
00:08:07.31\00:08:11.27
they are fallen under my feet.
For thou hast girded me with
00:08:11.30\00:08:16.38
strength unto the battle:
thou hast subdued under me those
00:08:16.41\00:08:20.23
that rose up against me. Thou
hast also given me the necks of
00:08:20.26\00:08:24.06
mine enemies; that I
might destroy them that hate me.
00:08:24.09\00:08:27.11
They cried, but there was none
to save them: even unto the Lord
00:08:27.14\00:08:32.38
but he answered them not.
Then did I beat them small as
00:08:32.41\00:08:37.31
the dust before the wind: I did
cast them out as the dirt in the
00:08:37.34\00:08:40.56
streets. Thou hast delivered me
from the strivings of the people
00:08:40.59\00:08:44.34
and thou hast made me the head
of the heathen: a people whom I
00:08:44.37\00:08:48.73
have not known shall serve
me. As soon as they hear of me,
00:08:48.76\00:08:52.91
they shall obey me:
the strangers shall submit
00:08:52.94\00:08:56.99
themselves unto me. The
strangers shall fade away, and
00:08:57.02\00:09:01.31
be afraid out of their
close places. The Lord liveth;
00:09:01.34\00:09:05.02
blessed be my rock; and
let the God of my salvation
00:09:05.05\00:09:09.48
be exalted. It is God that
avengeth me, and subdueth the
00:09:09.51\00:09:14.53
people under me. He delivereth
me from mine enemies: Yea, thou
00:09:14.56\00:09:19.14
liftest me up above those that
rise up against me: thou hast
00:09:19.17\00:09:23.51
delivered me
from the violent man.
00:09:23.54\00:09:25.40
Therefore will I give
thanks unto thee, O Lord,
00:09:25.43\00:09:29.00
among the heathen, and
sing praises unto they name.
00:09:29.03\00:09:32.50
Great deliverance giveth he
to his king: and sheweth mercy
00:09:32.53\00:09:37.80
to his anointed, to David,
and to his seed for evermore.
00:09:37.83\00:09:41.70
Psalm 19. To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David.
00:09:41.73\00:09:46.93
The heavens declare the
glory of God; and the firmament
00:09:46.96\00:09:52.09
sheweth his handiwork. Day unto
day uttereth speech, and night
00:09:52.12\00:09:56.58
unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language,
00:09:56.61\00:10:01.04
where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through
00:10:01.07\00:10:04.41
all the earth, and their
words to the end of the world.
00:10:04.44\00:10:06.99
In them hath he set a tabernacle
for the sun, which is as a
00:10:07.02\00:10:12.03
bridegroom coming out of
his chamber, and rejoiceth as a
00:10:12.06\00:10:16.18
strong man to run a race. His
going forth is from the end of
00:10:16.21\00:10:20.71
the heaven, and his circuit unto
the ends of it: and there is
00:10:20.74\00:10:25.16
nothing hid from
the heat thereof.
00:10:25.19\00:10:27.49
The law of the Lord is
perfect, converting the soul:
00:10:27.52\00:10:32.71
The testimony of the Lord is
sure, making wise the simple.
00:10:32.74\00:10:37.72
The statutes of the Lord
are right, rejoicing the heart:
00:10:37.75\00:10:42.65
the commandment of the Lord
is pure, enlightening the eyes.
00:10:42.68\00:10:46.52
The fear of the Lord is
clean, enduring for ever:
00:10:46.55\00:10:51.42
The judgments of the Lord are
true and righteous altogether.
00:10:51.45\00:10:56.78
More to be desired are they
than gold, yea, than much fine
00:10:56.81\00:11:02.16
gold: sweeter also than
honey and the honeycomb.
00:11:02.19\00:11:05.95
Moreover by them is thy servant
warned: and in keeping of them
00:11:05.98\00:11:12.48
there is great reward.
Who can understand his errors?
00:11:12.51\00:11:17.52
cleanse thou me from secret
faults. Keep back thy servant
00:11:17.55\00:11:23.30
also from presumptuous
sins; let them not have dominion
00:11:23.33\00:11:28.01
over me: then shall I be upright
and I shall be innocent from the
00:11:28.04\00:11:32.74
great transgression. Let
the words of my mouth and the
00:11:32.77\00:11:37.73
meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight,
00:11:37.76\00:11:42.21
O Lord, my
strength, and my redeemer.
00:11:42.24\00:11:45.83
Psalm 20. This is
the King James Version
00:11:45.86\00:11:49.76
To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David.
00:11:49.79\00:11:54.31
The Lord hear thee in the day
of trouble: the name of the God
00:11:54.34\00:11:59.75
of Jacob defend thee; Send
thee help from the sanctuary,
00:11:59.78\00:12:04.50
and strengthen thee out of Zion;
Remember all thy offerings,
00:12:04.53\00:12:08.56
and accept thy burnt sacrifice:
Selah. Grant thee according to
00:12:08.59\00:12:14.22
thine own heart, and
fulfil all thy counsel.
00:12:14.25\00:12:16.50
We will rejoice in thy salvation
and in the name of our God
00:12:16.53\00:12:21.32
we will set up our banners: the
Lord fulfil all thy petitions.
00:12:21.35\00:12:26.61
Now know I that the Lord saveth
his anointed: he will hear him
00:12:26.64\00:12:33.80
from his holy heaven with
the saving strength of his right
00:12:33.83\00:12:36.59
hand. Some trust in
chariots, and some in horses:
00:12:36.62\00:12:41.35
but we will remember the
name of the Lord our God.
00:12:41.38\00:12:44.60
They are brought down
and fallen: but we are risen,
00:12:44.63\00:12:49.48
and stand upright. Save, Lord:
let the king hear us when we
00:12:49.51\00:12:55.77
call. - Psalm 21. To the chief
Musician, A Psalm of David.
00:12:55.80\00:13:01.60
The king shall joy
in thy strength, O Lord;
00:13:01.63\00:13:05.75
and in thy salvation how
greatly shall he rejoice!
00:13:05.78\00:13:09.35
Thou hast given him his heart's
desire, and hast not withholden
00:13:09.38\00:13:14.38
the request of his lips, Selah.
For thou preventest him with the
00:13:14.41\00:13:18.64
blessings of goodness: thou
settest a crown of pure gold
00:13:18.67\00:13:22.80
on his head. He has asked life
of thee, and thou gavest it him,
00:13:22.83\00:13:28.19
even length of days for ever
and ever. His glory is great
00:13:28.22\00:13:33.36
in thy salvation: honor and
majesty hast thou laid upon him.
00:13:33.39\00:13:38.68
For thou hast made
him most blessed forever.
00:13:38.71\00:13:41.97
thou hast made him exceeding
glad with thy countenance.
00:13:42.00\00:13:45.88
For the king trusteth in the
Lord, and through the mercy of
00:13:45.91\00:13:50.48
the most High he shall not be
moved. Thine hand shall find out
00:13:50.51\00:13:55.52
all thine enemies: thy right
hand shall find out those that
00:13:55.55\00:13:59.56
hate thee. Thou shalt make them
as a fiery oven in the time of
00:13:59.59\00:14:03.11
thine anger: the Lord shall
swallow them up in his wrath,
00:14:03.14\00:14:05.67
and the fire shall devour them.
Their fruit shalt thou destroy
00:14:05.70\00:14:09.94
from the earth, and their seed
from among the children of men.
00:14:09.97\00:14:13.26
For they intended evil
against thee: they imagined a
00:14:13.29\00:14:16.73
mischievous device which
they are not able to perform.
00:14:16.76\00:14:19.24
Therefore shalt thou make them
turn their back, when thou shalt
00:14:19.27\00:14:23.02
make ready thine arrows upon thy
strings against the face of them
00:14:23.05\00:14:27.52
Be thou exalted,
Lord, in thine own strength:
00:14:27.55\00:14:32.25
so will we sing
and praise thy power.
