Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.50\00:00:19.79
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and
today we're going to be reading
00:00:19.83\00:00:22.25
together from
the book of Psalms.
00:00:22.28\00:00:24.51
It's very encouraging to me to
read as David, a man after God's
00:00:24.55\00:00:29.92
own heart, expresses thoughts,
feelings, and experiences that
00:00:29.96\00:00:36.00
I can identify with, and then I
can learn from how he constantly
00:00:36.03\00:00:39.80
keeps returning to the themes
of God's greatness, His power,
00:00:39.83\00:00:43.59
and His love.
00:00:43.63\00:00:44.60
Before we read
let's pray together.
00:00:44.61\00:00:46.34
Dear Lord, thank You so much
for this time to come and to sit
00:00:46.37\00:00:51.64
and to hear Your word of life.
00:00:51.67\00:00:54.30
Please may the Holy Spirit bring
understanding to our hearts.
00:00:54.34\00:00:57.58
Amen.
00:00:57.61\00:00:58.58
We're picking up in Psalm
35, verse 10, and this is the
00:00:58.59\00:01:03.75
King James Version.
00:01:03.79\00:01:04.76
All my bones shall say,
Lord, who is like unto thee,
00:01:04.77\00:01:10.14
which deliverest the poor from
him that is too strong for him,
00:01:10.18\00:01:14.51
yea, the poor and the needy
from him that spoileth him?
00:01:14.55\00:01:18.95
False witnesses did rise up;
they laid to my charge things
00:01:18.99\00:01:23.35
that I knew not.
00:01:23.39\00:01:24.36
They rewarded me evil for
good to the spoiling of my soul.
00:01:24.37\00:01:29.11
But as for me, when they were
sick, my clothing was sackcloth:
00:01:29.14\00:01:33.67
I humbled my soul with fasting;
and my prayer returned into
00:01:33.71\00:01:38.21
mine own bosom.
00:01:38.24\00:01:39.21
I behaved myself as though he
had been my friend or brother:
00:01:39.22\00:01:43.21
I bowed down heavily, as one
that mourneth for his mother.
00:01:43.25\00:01:47.25
But in mine adversity
they rejoiced, and gathered
00:01:47.28\00:01:51.76
themselves together: yea,
the abjects gathered themselves
00:01:51.79\00:01:55.72
together against me, and I
knew it not; they did tear me,
00:01:55.76\00:01:59.65
and ceased not: with
hypocritical mockers in feasts,
00:01:59.69\00:02:04.16
they gnashed upon
me with their teeth.
00:02:04.20\00:02:06.26
Lord, how long wilt thou look
on? rescue my soul from their
00:02:06.30\00:02:12.46
destructions, my
darling from the lions.
00:02:12.49\00:02:15.70
I will give thee thanks
in the great congregation:
00:02:15.73\00:02:18.78
I will praise
thee among much people.
00:02:18.81\00:02:21.01
Let not them that are
mine enemies wrongfully rejoice
00:02:21.04\00:02:25.88
over me: neither let them
wink with the eye that hate me
00:02:25.92\00:02:30.73
without a cause.
00:02:30.76\00:02:31.73
For they speak not peace: but
they devise deceitful matters
00:02:31.77\00:02:37.41
against them that
are quiet in the land.
00:02:37.44\00:02:39.76
Yea, they opened their
mouth wide against me, and said,
00:02:39.80\00:02:43.85
Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
00:02:43.89\00:02:46.72
This thou hast seen, O
Lord: keep not silence:
00:02:46.76\00:02:51.47
O Lord, be not far from me.
00:02:51.51\00:02:54.66
Stir up thyself, and awake to
my judgment, even unto my cause,
00:02:54.70\00:02:59.99
my God and my Lord.
00:03:00.02\00:03:01.98
Judge me, O Lord my God,
according to thy righteousness;
00:03:02.01\00:03:06.04
and let them
not rejoice over me.
00:03:06.07\00:03:08.31
Let them not say in their
hearts, Ah, so would we have it:
00:03:08.34\00:03:12.83
let them not say, We
have swallowed him up.
00:03:12.86\00:03:16.58
Let them be ashamed and
brought to confusion together
00:03:16.62\00:03:21.44
that rejoice at mine hurt:
let them be clothed with shame
00:03:21.47\00:03:26.26
and dishonour that
magnify themselves against me.
00:03:26.29\00:03:29.66
Let them shout
for joy, and be glad,
00:03:29.69\00:03:32.35
that favor my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually,
00:03:32.39\00:03:38.12
Let the Lord be magnified, which
hath pleasure in the prosperity
00:03:38.15\00:03:43.85
of his servant.
00:03:43.88\00:03:44.85
And my tongue shall speak of thy
righteousness and of thy praise
00:03:44.86\00:03:49.77
all the day long.
00:03:49.81\00:03:51.42
Continuing now in Psalm 36, and
this is the King James Version.
00:03:51.45\00:03:56.15
The transgression of the
wicked saith within my heart,
00:03:58.03\00:04:01.79
that there is no fear
of God before his eyes.
00:04:01.83\00:04:04.18
For he flattereth himself in
his own eyes, until his iniquity
00:04:04.21\00:04:08.93
be found to be hateful.
00:04:08.97\00:04:10.37
The words of his mouth
are iniquity and deceit:
00:04:10.41\00:04:14.08
he hath left off to
be wise, and to do good.
00:04:14.11\00:04:17.72
He deviseth mischief upon his
bed; he setteth himself in a way
00:04:17.75\00:04:22.35
that is not good;
he abhorreth not evil.
00:04:22.39\00:04:25.80
Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the
heavens; and thy faithfulness
00:04:25.84\00:04:29.98
reacheth unto the clouds.
00:04:30.01\00:04:31.68
Thy righteousness is like the
great mountains; thy judgments
00:04:31.72\00:04:36.91
are a great deep: O Lord,
thou preservest man and beast.
00:04:36.95\00:04:42.11
How excellent is thy loving-
kindness, O God! therefore the
00:04:42.14\00:04:46.22
children of men put their trust
under the shadow of thy wings.
00:04:46.26\00:04:50.30
They shall be abundantly
satisfied with the fatness
00:04:50.34\00:04:54.11
of thy house; and thou shalt
make them drink of the river
00:04:54.14\00:04:57.51
of thy pleasures.
00:04:57.55\00:04:58.83
For with thee is the
fountain of life: in thy light
00:04:58.86\00:05:03.80
shall we see light.
00:05:03.84\00:05:05.20
O continue thy loving-kindness
unto them that know thee;
00:05:05.24\00:05:09.82
and thy righteousness
to the upright in heart.
00:05:09.86\00:05:13.14
Let not the foot of pride come
against me, and let not the hand
00:05:13.17\00:05:18.96
of the wicked remove me.
00:05:18.99\00:05:20.86
There are the
workers of iniquity fallen:
00:05:20.90\00:05:24.07
they are cast down, and
shall not be able to rise.
00:05:24.11\00:05:28.76
Continuing in Psalm 37, and
this is the King James Version.
00:05:28.79\00:05:34.00
Fret not thyself because
of evildoers, neither be thou
00:05:34.04\00:05:39.21
envious against the
workers of iniquity.
00:05:39.25\00:05:41.61
For they shall soon be
cut down like the grass,
00:05:41.65\00:05:44.20
and wither as the green herb.
00:05:44.24\00:05:46.25
Trust in the Lord, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land,
00:05:46.29\00:05:51.61
and verily thou shalt be fed.
00:05:51.64\00:05:53.46
Delight thyself also in the
Lord; and he shall give thee
00:05:53.50\00:05:58.65
the desires of thine heart.
00:05:58.69\00:05:59.93
Commit thy way unto the
Lord; trust also in him;
00:05:59.96\00:06:04.07
and he shall bring it to pass.
00:06:04.11\00:06:06.95
And he shall bring forth
thy righteousness as the light,
00:06:06.99\00:06:11.13
and thy judgment as the noonday.
00:06:11.16\00:06:13.32
Rest in the Lord, and
wait patiently for him:
00:06:13.36\00:06:17.93
fret not thyself because of
him who prospereth in his way,
00:06:17.97\00:06:22.43
because of the man who
bringeth wicked devices to pass.
00:06:22.47\00:06:27.52
Cease from anger, and
forsake wrath: fret not thyself
00:06:27.56\00:06:32.58
in any wise to do evil.
00:06:32.62\00:06:34.67
For evildoers shall be cut
off: but those that wait upon
00:06:34.70\00:06:39.78
the Lord, they
shall inherit the earth.
00:06:39.81\00:06:42.90
For yet a little while,
and the wicked shall not be:
00:06:42.93\00:06:46.37
yea, thou shalt
diligently consider his place,
00:06:46.41\00:06:49.66
and it shall not be.
00:06:49.69\00:06:51.22
But the meek shall inherit
the earth; and shall delight
00:06:51.26\00:06:55.43
themselves in the
abundance of peace.
00:06:55.47\00:06:58.45
The wicked plotteth against
the just, and gnasheth upon him
00:06:58.48\00:07:02.87
with his teeth.
00:07:02.90\00:07:03.87
The Lord shall laugh at
him: for he seeth that his
00:07:03.88\00:07:07.35
day is coming.
00:07:07.39\00:07:08.36
The wicked have drawn out the
sword, and have bent their bow,
00:07:08.37\00:07:12.33
to cast down the poor and
needy, and to slay such as be of
00:07:12.36\00:07:16.45
upright conversation.
00:07:16.49\00:07:17.81
Their sword shall
enter into their own heart,
00:07:17.84\00:07:21.73
and their bows shall be broken.
00:07:21.76\00:07:23.88
A little that a righteous man
hath is better than the riches
00:07:23.92\00:07:28.95
of many wicked.
00:07:28.99\00:07:30.04
For the arms of the wicked
shall be broken: but the Lord
00:07:30.08\00:07:33.79
upholdeth the righteous.
00:07:33.83\00:07:35.57
the Lord knoweth
the days of the upright:
00:07:35.60\00:07:38.59
and their
inheritance shall be forever.
00:07:38.63\00:07:41.55
They shall not be ashamed in the
evil time: and in the days of
00:07:41.58\00:07:45.50
famine they shall be satisfied.
00:07:45.53\00:07:47.69
But the wicked shall perish, and
the enemies of the Lord shall be
00:07:47.72\00:07:52.38
as the fat of lambs: they shall
consume; into smoke shall they
00:07:52.42\00:07:57.04
consume away.
00:07:57.08\00:07:58.05
The wicked borroweth, and payeth
not again: but the righteous
00:07:58.06\00:08:04.64
showeth mercy, and giveth.
00:08:04.68\00:08:07.32
For such as be blessed of
him shall inherit the earth;
00:08:07.36\00:08:11.07
and they that be cursed
of him shall be cut off.
00:08:11.08\00:08:14.38
The steps of a good man
are ordered by the Lord:
00:08:14.41\00:08:17.68
and he delighteth in his way.
00:08:17.71\00:08:19.89
Though he fall, he shall
not be utterly cast down:
00:08:19.92\00:08:24.44
for the Lord
upholdeth him with his hand.
00:08:24.47\00:08:27.21
I have been young, and now
am old; yet have I not seen the
00:08:27.25\00:08:33.81
righteous forsaken,
nor his seed begging bread.
00:08:33.84\00:08:37.80
He is ever
merciful, and lendeth;
00:08:37.83\00:08:40.45
and his seed is blessed.
00:08:40.49\00:08:42.61
Depart from evil, and do
good; and dwell forevermore.
00:08:42.65\00:08:47.22
For the Lord loveth judgment,
and forsaketh not his saints;
00:08:47.25\00:08:50.89
they are preserved forever:
but the seed of the wicked
00:08:50.92\00:08:55.34
shall be cut off.
00:08:55.38\00:08:56.76
The righteous
shall inherit the land,
00:08:56.80\00:08:59.53
and dwell therein for ever.
00:08:59.56\00:09:01.72
The mouth of the
righteous speaketh wisdom,
00:09:01.75\00:09:05.54
and his tongue
talketh of judgment.
00:09:05.57\00:09:08.16
The law of his God is
in his heart; none of his
00:09:08.19\00:09:12.84
steps shall slide.
00:09:12.88\00:09:13.96
The wicked
watcheth the righteous,
00:09:14.00\00:09:16.78
and seeketh to slay him.
00:09:16.81\00:09:17.94
The Lord will not leave him
in his hand, nor condemn him
00:09:17.97\00:09:22.94
when he is judged.
00:09:22.98\00:09:24.36
Wait on the Lord, and keep
his way, and he shall exalt thee
00:09:24.39\00:09:30.04
to inherit the land
when the wicked are cut off,
00:09:30.08\00:09:33.11
thou shalt see it.
00:09:33.14\00:09:34.81
I have seen the wicked in great
power, and spreading himself
00:09:34.84\00:09:39.76
like a green bay tree.
00:09:39.80\00:09:41.55
Yet he passed away, and, lo,
he was not: yea, I sought him,
00:09:41.59\00:09:46.89
but he could not be found.
00:09:46.92\00:09:48.78
Mark the perfect man,
and behold the upright:
00:09:48.82\00:09:52.29
for the end of
that man is peace.
00:09:52.32\00:09:54.89
But the transgressors
shall be destroyed together:
00:09:54.92\00:09:58.42
the end of the
wicked shall be cut off.
00:09:58.45\00:10:01.58
But the salvation of the
righteous is of the Lord:
00:10:01.62\00:10:06.06
he is their strength
in the time of trouble.
00:10:06.10\00:10:09.36
And the Lord shall
help them, and deliver them:
00:10:09.39\00:10:12.59
he shall deliver them
from the wicked, and save them,
00:10:12.62\00:10:15.80
because they trust in him.
00:10:15.83\00:10:18.28
Continuing with Psalm 38.
00:10:18.32\00:10:20.70
This is the King James Version.
00:10:20.74\00:10:22.84
O Lord, rebuke me not in
thy wrath: neither chasten me
00:10:22.88\00:10:30.24
in thy hot displeasure.
00:10:30.28\00:10:31.91
For thine arrows stick
fast in me, and thy hand
00:10:31.95\00:10:35.13
presseth me sore.
00:10:35.17\00:10:36.93
There is no soundness in my
flesh because of thine anger;
00:10:36.96\00:10:41.32
neither is there any rest
in my bones because of my sin.
00:10:41.36\00:10:45.68
For mine iniquities
are gone over mine head:
00:10:45.71\00:10:48.90
as an heavy burden
they are too heavy for me.
00:10:48.94\00:10:52.05
My wounds stink and are corrupt
because of my foolishness.
00:10:52.09\00:10:56.77
I am troubled; I am bowed
down greatly; I go mourning
00:10:56.80\00:11:02.70
all the day long.
00:11:02.73\00:11:03.86
For my loins are filled
with a loathsome disease:
00:11:03.90\00:11:06.98
and there is no
soundness in my flesh.
00:11:07.02\00:11:09.24
I am feeble and sore broken:
I have roared by reason of the
00:11:09.28\00:11:15.36
disquietness of my heart.
00:11:15.40\00:11:17.15
Lord, all my desire is before
thee; and my groaning is not
00:11:17.19\00:11:22.79
hid from thee.
00:11:22.82\00:11:23.82
My heart panteth,
my strength faileth me:
00:11:23.85\00:11:27.76
as for the light of mine
eyes, it also is gone from me.
00:11:27.80\00:11:32.69
My lovers and my friends
stand aloof from my sore;
00:11:32.73\00:11:37.46
and my kinsmen stand afar off.
00:11:37.50\00:11:40.11
They also that seek after
my life lay snares for me:
00:11:40.14\00:11:43.90
and they that seek my
hurt speak mischievous things,
00:11:43.93\00:11:47.66
and imagine
deceits all the day long.
00:11:47.69\00:11:49.78
But I, as a deaf man, heard not;
and I was as a dumb man that
00:11:49.81\00:11:55.61
openeth not his mouth.
00:11:55.65\00:11:57.16
Thus I was as a man that
heareth not, and in whose mouth
00:11:57.20\00:12:02.08
are no reproofs.
00:12:02.11\00:12:04.01
For in thee, O Lord, do I hope:
thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
00:12:04.04\00:12:10.80
For I said, Hear me, lest
otherwise they should rejoice
00:12:10.84\00:12:14.83
over me: when my foot slippeth,
they magnify themselves
00:12:14.87\00:12:18.83
against me.
00:12:18.86\00:12:19.83
For I am ready to halt, and my
sorrow is continually before me.
00:12:19.84\00:12:24.69
For I will
declare mine iniquity;
00:12:24.72\00:12:27.73
I will be sorry for my sin.
00:12:27.77\00:12:30.41
But mine enemies are
lively, and they are strong:
00:12:30.45\00:12:33.75
and they that hate me
wrongfully are multiplied.
00:12:33.78\00:12:37.01
They also that render evil
for good are mine adversaries;
00:12:37.05\00:12:41.07
because I follow
the thing that good is.
00:12:41.11\00:12:44.42
Forsake me not, O Lord: O
my God, be not far from me.
00:12:44.45\00:12:50.53
Make haste to help
me, O Lord my salvation.
00:12:50.56\00:12:54.77
We're continuing with Psalm 39.
00:12:54.80\00:12:57.13
This is the King James Version.
00:12:57.17\00:12:59.42
I said, I will take heed to
my ways, that I sin not with my
00:12:59.46\00:13:05.04
tongue: I will keep my mouth
with a bridle, while the wicked
00:13:05.07\00:13:10.62
is before me.
00:13:10.65\00:13:11.62
I was dumb with silence, I
held my peace, even from good;
00:13:11.66\00:13:16.25
and my sorrow was stirred.
00:13:16.28\00:13:17.83
My heart was hot within
me, while I was musing the fire
00:13:17.87\00:13:22.34
burned: then spake I with my
tongue, Lord, make me to know
00:13:22.38\00:13:26.81
mine end, and the
measure of my days, what it is;
00:13:26.82\00:13:30.19
that I may know how frail I am.
00:13:30.23\00:13:32.66
Behold, thou hast made
my days as an handbreadth;
00:13:32.70\00:13:37.64
and mine age is as nothing
before thee: verily every man
00:13:37.67\00:13:41.63
at his best state
is altogether vanity.
00:13:41.66\00:13:45.19
Selah.
00:13:45.22\00:13:46.19
Surely every man walketh in
a vain show: surely they are
00:13:46.20\00:13:50.11
disquieted in vain: he heapeth
up riches, and knoweth not
00:13:50.14\00:13:54.14
who shall gather them.
00:13:54.17\00:13:55.22
And now, Lord, what wait
I for? my hope is in thee.
00:13:55.26\00:14:02.02
Deliver me from
all my transgressions:
00:14:02.05\00:14:05.20
make me not the
reproach of the foolish.
00:14:05.23\00:14:08.30
I was dumb, I opened not my
mouth; because thou didst it.
00:14:08.34\00:14:12.89
Remove thy stroke away from
me: I am consumed by the blow
00:14:12.92\00:14:17.44
of thine hand.
00:14:17.48\00:14:18.45
When thou with rebukes
dost correct man for iniquity,
00:14:18.48\00:14:22.16
thou makest his beauty
to consume away like a moth:
00:14:22.20\00:14:25.84
surely every man is vanity.
00:14:25.88\00:14:28.95
Selah.
00:14:28.99\00:14:30.11
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear unto my cry;
00:14:30.14\00:14:35.99
hold not thy peace at my tears:
00:14:36.02\00:14:42.11
