Hello, and welcome
to His Words are Life.
00:00:15.13\00:00:17.29
I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank
you for joining with me today,
00:00:17.32\00:00:20.22
to read in the book of Psalms
together. Let's pray before we
00:00:20.25\00:00:22.84
start. Dear Lord thank you so
much that you have always been
00:00:22.87\00:00:29.18
a song in the night for each of
us, and that in praising you, we
00:00:29.21\00:00:34.06
can come into your presence.
So now as we read these praises,
00:00:34.09\00:00:37.80
of David, be with us so that
we may know and hear the lesson
00:00:37.83\00:00:43.21
you have for us in these
words. We love you and thank you
00:00:43.24\00:00:46.23
for loving us. Amen.
We're beginning in Psalm 22,
00:00:46.26\00:00:50.12
This is the King James Version.
To the chief Musician upon
00:00:50.15\00:00:56.39
Aijeleth Shabar,
A Psalm of David.
00:00:56.42\00:00:58.93
My God, my God, why hast thou
forsaken me? why art thou so far
00:00:58.96\00:01:07.39
from helping me, and
from the words of my roaring?
00:01:07.42\00:01:10.68
O my God, I cry in the
daytime, but thou hearest not;
00:01:10.71\00:01:14.71
and in the night season, and am
not silent. But thou art holy,
00:01:14.74\00:01:20.16
O thou that inhabitest
the praises of Israel.
00:01:20.19\00:01:23.91
Our fathers trusted in thee:
they trusted, and thou didst
00:01:23.94\00:01:27.99
deliver them. They cried
unto thee, and were delivered:
00:01:28.02\00:01:31.28
they trusted in thee, and were
not confounded. But I am a worm,
00:01:31.31\00:01:35.97
and no man; a reproach of
men, and despised of the people.
00:01:36.00\00:01:40.84
All they that see me laugh me
to scorn: they shoot out the lip
00:01:40.87\00:01:46.67
they shake the head,
saying, He trusted on the Lord
00:01:46.70\00:01:49.76
that he would deliver him:
let him deliver him, seeing he
00:01:49.79\00:01:52.89
delighted in him. But thou art
he that took me out of the womb:
00:01:52.92\00:01:57.64
thou didst make me hope when
I was upon my mother's breasts.
00:01:57.67\00:02:01.80
I was cast upon thee from the
womb: thou art my God from my
00:02:01.83\00:02:06.79
mother's belly. Be not far
from me; for trouble is near;
00:02:06.82\00:02:11.46
For there is none to help.
Many bulls have compassed me:
00:02:11.49\00:02:16.34
strong bulls of
Bashan have beset me round.
00:02:16.37\00:02:20.14
They gaped upon me with their
mouths, as a ravening and a
00:02:20.17\00:02:23.23
roaring lion. I am poured
out like water, and all my bones
00:02:23.26\00:02:28.10
are out of joint; my heart
is like wax; it is melted in the
00:02:28.13\00:02:32.47
midst of my bowels. My strength
is dried up like a potsherd;
00:02:32.50\00:02:37.05
My tongue cleaveth to my jaws;
and thou hast brought me into
00:02:37.08\00:02:41.24
the dust of death. For dogs have
compassed me: the assembly of
00:02:41.27\00:02:45.65
the wicked have enclosed
me: they pierced my hands and my
00:02:45.68\00:02:50.11
feet. I may tell all my bones:
they look and stare upon me.
00:02:50.14\00:02:54.82
They part my garments
among them and cast lots upon my
00:02:54.85\00:02:59.27
vesture. But be not thou far
from me O Lord: O my strength,
00:02:59.30\00:03:05.07
haste thee to help me.
Deliver my soul from the sword,
00:03:05.10\00:03:09.68
my darling from the power of
the dog. Save me from the lion's
00:03:09.71\00:03:14.39
mouth: for thou hast heard me
from the horns of the unicorns.
00:03:14.42\00:03:17.96
I will declare thy name unto
my brethren: in the midst of the
00:03:17.99\00:03:22.77
congregation will I praise thee.
Ye that fear the Lord, praise
00:03:22.80\00:03:27.39
him; all ye the seed of Jacob,
glorify him; and fear him,
00:03:27.42\00:03:32.84
all ye the seed of
Israel. For he hath not despised
00:03:32.87\00:03:37.24
nor abhorred the affliction of
the afflicted; neither hath he
00:03:37.27\00:03:41.62
hid his face from him; but when
he cried unto him, he heard.
00:03:41.65\00:03:46.75
My praise shall be of
thee in the great congregation:
00:03:46.78\00:03:51.35
I will pay my vows before them
that fear him. The meek shall
00:03:51.38\00:03:56.74
eat and be satisfied: they shall
praise the Lord that seek him:
00:03:56.77\00:04:01.11
your heart shall live for ever.
All the ends of the world shall
00:04:01.14\00:04:06.57
remember and turn unto the Lord:
and all the kindreds of the
00:04:06.60\00:04:10.00
nations shall worship before
thee. For the kingdom is the
00:04:10.03\00:04:14.15
Lord's: and he is the
governor among the nations.
00:04:14.18\00:04:17.71
All they that be fat upon
earth shall eat and worship:
00:04:17.74\00:04:22.83
all they that go down to
the dust shall bow before him:
00:04:22.86\00:04:26.92
and none can keep alive his own
soul. A seed shall serve him;
00:04:26.95\00:04:33.34
it shall be accounted to
the Lord for a generation.
00:04:33.37\00:04:36.25
They shall come, and
shall declare his righteousness
00:04:36.28\00:04:40.13
unto a people that shall be
born, that he hath done this.
00:04:40.16\00:04:45.08
Psalm 23. A Psalm of
David. The Lord is my shepherd;
00:04:45.11\00:04:53.20
I shall not want. He maketh me
to lie down in green pastures:
00:04:53.23\00:04:58.79
he leadeth me beside the still
waters. He restoreth my soul:
00:04:58.82\00:05:04.28
He leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness for his name's
00:05:04.31\00:05:08.72
sake. Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of
00:05:08.75\00:05:13.51
death, I will fear no
evil: for thou art with me;
00:05:13.54\00:05:17.26
thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.
00:05:17.29\00:05:21.63
Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
00:05:21.66\00:05:26.64
thou anointest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over.
00:05:26.67\00:05:31.09
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my
00:05:31.12\00:05:36.65
life: and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord for ever.
00:05:36.68\00:05:41.47
Psalm 24. This is
the King James Version.
00:05:41.50\00:05:47.65
A Psalm of David. The
earth is the Lord's, and the
00:05:47.68\00:05:51.50
fulness thereof; the world,
and they that dwell therein.
00:05:51.53\00:05:55.65
For he hath founded it upon the
seas, and established it upon
00:05:55.68\00:06:00.40
the floods. Who shall ascend
into the hill of the Lord?
00:06:00.44\00:06:04.82
or who shall stand in his holy
place? He that hath clean hands,
00:06:04.85\00:06:10.50
and a pure heart; who hath not
lifted up his soul unto vanity,
00:06:10.53\00:06:14.95
nor sworn deceitfully. He shall
receive the blessing from the
00:06:14.98\00:06:19.60
Lord, and righteousness
from the God of his salvation.
00:06:19.63\00:06:23.34
This is the generation of
them that seek him, that seek
00:06:23.37\00:06:28.15
thy face, O Jacob, Selah.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
00:06:28.18\00:06:34.19
and be ye lift up,
ye everlasting doors;
00:06:34.22\00:06:38.26
and the King of glory shall
come in. Who is the King of
00:06:38.29\00:06:43.65
glory? The Lord strong
and mighty, the Lord mighty
00:06:43.68\00:06:48.77
in battle. Lift up your heads, O
ye gates; even lift them up, ye
00:06:48.80\00:06:53.83
everlasting doors; and the
King of glory shall come in.
00:06:53.86\00:06:57.37
Who is this King of glory? The
Lord of hosts, he is the King of
00:06:57.40\00:07:03.69
glory. Selah. -
Psalm 25. A Psalm of David.
00:07:03.72\00:07:09.58
Unto thee, O Lord, do I
lift up my soul. O my God,
00:07:09.61\00:07:16.55
I trust in thee: let me not
be ashamed, let not mine enemies
00:07:16.58\00:07:21.10
triumph over me. Yea, let none
that wait on thee be ashamed:
00:07:21.13\00:07:26.26
let them be ashamed
which transgress without cause.
00:07:26.29\00:07:31.00
Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach
me thy paths. Lead me in thy
00:07:31.03\00:07:37.29
truth and teach me: for thou
art the God of my salvation;
00:07:37.32\00:07:41.58
on thee do I wait all the day.
Remember, O Lord, thy tender
00:07:41.61\00:07:47.24
mercies and thy loving
kindnesses; for they have been
00:07:47.27\00:07:50.95
ever of old. Remember
not the sins of my youth,
00:07:50.98\00:07:56.02
nor my transgressions: according
to thy mercy remember thou me
00:07:56.05\00:08:02.22
for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
Good and upright is the Lord:
00:08:02.25\00:08:07.01
therefore will he teach sinners
in the way. The meek will he
00:08:07.04\00:08:11.81
guide in judgment: and the
meek will he teach his way.
00:08:11.84\00:08:15.86
All the paths of the Lord
are mercy and truth unto such
00:08:15.89\00:08:21.87
as keep his covenant and his
testimonies. For thy name's sake
00:08:21.90\00:08:27.07
O Lord, pardon mine
iniquity; for it is great.
00:08:27.10\00:08:31.45
What man is he that feareth
the Lord? him shall he teach
00:08:31.48\00:08:36.93
in the way that he shall choose.
His soul shall dwell at ease;
00:08:36.96\00:08:41.55
and his seed shall inherit the
earth. The secret of the Lord
00:08:41.58\00:08:45.76
is with them that fear him; and
he will shew them his covenant.
00:08:45.79\00:08:49.69
Mine eyes are ever toward the
Lord; for he shall pluck my feet
00:08:49.72\00:08:55.24
out of the net. Turn thee
unto me, and have mercy upon me;
00:08:55.27\00:08:59.53
for I am desolate and afflicted.
The troubles of my heart
00:08:59.56\00:09:04.23
are enlarged: O bring
me out of my distresses.
00:09:04.26\00:09:07.76
Look upon mine affliction and
my pain; and forgive all my sins
00:09:07.79\00:09:12.70
Consider mine enemies; for
they are many; and they hate me
00:09:12.73\00:09:17.63
with cruel hatred. O
keep my soul, and deliver me:
00:09:17.66\00:09:21.92
Let me not be ashamed;
for I put my trust in thee.
00:09:21.95\00:09:25.79
Let integrity and uprightness
preserve me; for I wait on thee.
00:09:25.82\00:09:31.34
Redeem Israel, O God,
out of all his troubles.
00:09:31.37\00:09:36.23
Psalm 26. A Psalm of David.
Judge me O Lord; for I have
00:09:36.26\00:09:44.40
walked in mine integrity: I
have trusted also in the Lord;
00:09:44.43\00:09:48.34
therefore I shall not slide.
Examine me, O Lord and prove me;
00:09:48.37\00:09:54.11
try my reins and my heart.
For thy lovingkindness is before
00:09:54.14\00:09:58.34
mine eyes: and I have walked in
thy truth. I have not sat with
00:09:58.37\00:10:04.28
vain persons, neither
will I go in with dissemblers.
00:10:04.31\00:10:07.68
I have hated the congregation
of evildoers; and will not sit
00:10:07.71\00:10:11.41
with the wicked. I will
wash mine hands in innocency:
00:10:11.44\00:10:15.71
so will I compass thine altar,
O Lord: That I may publish with
00:10:15.74\00:10:20.82
the voice of thanksgiving, and
tell of all thy wondrous works.
00:10:20.85\00:10:25.33
Lord, I have loved the
habitation of thy house,
00:10:25.36\00:10:29.65
and the place where thine honor
dwelleth. Gather not my soul
00:10:29.68\00:10:34.47
with sinners, nor my life with
bloody men: In whose hands is
00:10:34.50\00:10:38.97
mischief, and their right hand
is full of bribes. But as for me
00:10:39.00\00:10:43.29
I will walk in mine integrity:
redeem me, and be merciful
00:10:43.32\00:10:48.12
unto me. My foot standeth in an
even place: in the congregations
00:10:48.15\00:10:53.83
will I bless the Lord. Psalm 27.
00:10:53.86\00:10:58.21
And this is the
King James Version.
00:10:58.24\00:11:00.06
A Psalm of David. The
Lord is my light and my
00:11:00.09\00:11:05.56
salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of
00:11:05.59\00:11:10.36
my life; of whom shall I
be afraid? When the wicked,
00:11:10.39\00:11:15.42
even mine enemies and my foes,
came upon me to eat up my flesh,
00:11:15.45\00:11:19.83
they stumbled and fell. Though
an host should encamp against me
00:11:19.86\00:11:25.36
my heart shall not fear: though
war should rise against me,
00:11:25.39\00:11:30.56
in this will I be confident.
One thing have I desired
00:11:30.59\00:11:35.99
of the Lord, that will I seek
after; that I may dwell in the
00:11:36.02\00:11:41.27
house of the Lord all the days
of my life, to behold the beauty
00:11:41.30\00:11:45.70
of the Lord, and to
inquire in his temple.
00:11:45.73\00:11:48.48
For in the time of trouble he
shall hide me in his pavilion:
00:11:48.51\00:11:53.99
in the secret of his tabernacle
shall he hide me; he shall set
00:11:54.02\00:11:59.05
me up upon a rock. And now shall
mine head be lifted up above
00:11:59.08\00:12:04.48
mine enemies round about me:
therefore will I offer in his
00:12:04.51\00:12:08.23
tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing
00:12:08.26\00:12:13.04
praises unto the Lord. Hear,
O Lord, when I cry with my voice
00:12:13.07\00:12:17.28
have mercy also upon me,
and answer me. When thou saidst,
00:12:17.31\00:12:23.67
Seek ye my face; my heart
said unto thee, Thy face, Lord,
00:12:23.70\00:12:28.75
will I seek. Hide
not thy face far from me;
00:12:28.78\00:12:32.35
Put not thy servant away in
anger: thou hast been my help;
00:12:32.38\00:12:36.61
leave me not, neither forsake
me O God of my salvation.
00:12:36.64\00:12:40.96
When my father and my
mother forsake me, then the Lord
00:12:40.99\00:12:46.00
will take me up. Teach me
thy way, O Lord, and lead me
00:12:46.03\00:12:51.32
in a plain path,
because of mine enemies.
00:12:51.35\00:12:54.02
Deliver me not over unto
the will of mine enemies:
00:12:54.05\00:12:57.80
for false witnesses are risen up
against me, and such as breathe
00:12:57.83\00:13:02.46
out cruelty. I had fainted,
unless I had believed to see
00:13:02.49\00:13:06.81
the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
00:13:06.84\00:13:08.87
Wait on the Lord: be of good
courage, and he shall strengthen
00:13:08.90\00:13:14.76
thine heart: wait,
I say, on the Lord.
00:13:14.79\00:13:18.54
Psalm 28. This is
the King James Version.
00:13:18.57\00:13:22.13
A Psalm of David. Unto
thee will I cry, O Lord
00:13:22.16\00:13:27.98
my rock; be not silent to me:
lest, if thou be silent to me,
00:13:28.01\00:13:33.49
I become like them that go down
into the pit. Hear the voice of
00:13:33.52\00:13:37.54
my supplications, when I
cry unto thee, when I lift up
00:13:37.57\00:13:40.49
my hands toward thy holy oracle.
Draw me not away with the wicked
00:13:40.52\00:13:44.19
and with the workers of
iniquity, which speak peace to
00:13:44.22\00:13:47.25
their neighbors, but
mischief is in their hearts.
00:13:47.28\00:13:49.25
Give them according to their
deeds, and according to the
00:13:49.28\00:13:52.63
wickedness of their endeavors:
give them after the work of
00:13:52.66\00:13:55.68
their hands; render
to them their desert:
00:13:55.71\00:13:58.45
because they regard
not the works of the Lord,
00:13:58.48\00:14:01.63
nor the operation of his
hands, he shall destroy them,
00:14:01.66\00:14:05.06
and not build them up. Blessed
be the Lord, because he hath
00:14:05.09\00:14:09.38
heard the voice
of my supplications.
00:14:09.41\00:14:11.33
The Lord is my strength and my
shield; my heart trusted in him,
00:14:11.36\00:14:16.06
and I am helped: therefore
my heart greatly rejoiceth;
00:14:16.09\00:14:20.12
and with my song will I praise
him. The Lord is their strength,
00:14:20.15\00:14:24.66
and he is the saving
strength of his anointed.
00:14:24.69\00:14:27.32
Save thy people, and
bless thine inheritance:
