Hello, and welcome
back to His Words Are Life.
00:00:13.96\00:00:16.68
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and
today we're going to be reading
00:00:16.72\00:00:19.87
in the book of Psalms together.
00:00:19.91\00:00:21.76
But before we start, let's pray.
00:00:21.80\00:00:23.58
Dear Heavenly Father, thank
You for bringing us to this time
00:00:23.61\00:00:29.21
to hear from Your servant,
David, practical expressions
00:00:29.25\00:00:34.81
of what it is like to live,
and to walk, closely with You.
00:00:34.84\00:00:38.22
Please send the Holy Spirit
to bring these words to life
00:00:38.26\00:00:41.63
within our hearts.
00:00:41.66\00:00:42.63
We love You so much,
and thank You for loving us.
00:00:42.67\00:00:44.91
Amen.
00:00:44.94\00:00:45.91
We're picking up in Psalm
39, verse 12, and this is the
00:00:45.92\00:00:50.44
King James Version.
00:00:50.48\00:00:51.45
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear unto my cry;
00:00:53.09\00:00:56.57
hold not thy peace at my tears:
for I am a stranger with thee,
00:00:56.61\00:01:01.74
and a sojourner, as
all my fathers were.
00:01:01.77\00:01:04.86
O spare me, that I may recover
strength, before I go hence,
00:01:04.90\00:01:10.02
and be no more.
00:01:10.06\00:01:11.09
Continuing now with Psalm 40.
00:01:11.12\00:01:12.80
This is the King James Version.
00:01:12.83\00:01:14.47
I waited patiently for the
Lord; and he inclined unto me,
00:01:14.50\00:01:20.21
and heard my cry.
00:01:20.22\00:01:21.99
He brought me up also
out of an horrible pit,
00:01:22.02\00:01:25.72
out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a rock,
00:01:25.76\00:01:31.05
and established my goings.
00:01:31.08\00:01:33.48
And he hath put a new song in my
mouth, even praise unto our God:
00:01:33.51\00:01:38.49
many shall see it, and fear,
and shall trust in the Lord.
00:01:38.53\00:01:43.34
Blessed is that man that
maketh the Lord his trust,
00:01:43.37\00:01:48.04
and respecteth not the proud,
nor such as turn aside to lies.
00:01:48.07\00:01:53.10
Many, O Lord my God, are thy
wonderful works which thou hast
00:01:53.13\00:01:58.17
done, and thy thoughts which
are to us-ward: they cannot be
00:01:58.20\00:02:02.62
reckoned up in order unto thee:
if I would declare and speak
00:02:02.66\00:02:07.05
of them, they are
more than can be numbered.
00:02:07.08\00:02:10.41
Sacrifice and
offering thou didst not desire;
00:02:10.45\00:02:13.74
mine ears hast thou opened:
burnt offering and sin offering
00:02:13.78\00:02:18.87
hast thou not required.
00:02:18.91\00:02:20.42
Then said I, Lo, I come: in the
volume of the book it is written
00:02:20.45\00:02:26.57
of me, I delight to do
thy will, O my God: yea,
00:02:26.59\00:02:31.59
thy law is within my heart.
00:02:31.62\00:02:34.23
I have preached righteousness
in the great congregation:
00:02:34.27\00:02:38.75
lo, I have not refrained
my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.
00:02:38.79\00:02:43.24
I have not hid thy
righteousness within my heart;
00:02:43.28\00:02:46.70
I have declared thy
faithfulness and thy salvation:
00:02:46.73\00:02:50.69
I have not concealed thy
loving-kindness and thy truth
00:02:50.73\00:02:54.65
from the great congregation.
00:02:54.69\00:02:55.99
Withhold not thou thy
tender mercies from me, O Lord:
00:02:56.03\00:03:00.99
let thy loving-kindness and thy
truth continually preserve me.
00:03:01.02\00:03:05.92
For innumerable evils
have compassed me about:
00:03:05.96\00:03:09.97
mine iniquities have taken hold
upon me, so that I am not able
00:03:10.00\00:03:14.08
to look up; they are more
than the hairs of mine head:
00:03:14.11\00:03:18.33
therefore my heart faileth me.
00:03:18.36\00:03:20.71
Be pleased, O Lord, to
deliver me: O Lord, make haste
00:03:20.75\00:03:26.86
to help me.
00:03:26.89\00:03:27.86
Let them be ashamed and
confounded together that seek
00:03:27.87\00:03:32.81
after my soul to destroy
it; let them be driven backward
00:03:32.85\00:03:37.98
and put to shame
that wish me evil.
00:03:38.01\00:03:40.16
Let them be desolate for a
reward of their shame that say
00:03:40.19\00:03:44.11
unto me, Aha, aha.
00:03:44.14\00:03:45.88
Let all those that seek thee
rejoice and be glad in thee:
00:03:45.92\00:03:51.91
let such as love thy
salvation say continually,
00:03:51.94\00:03:56.18
The Lord be magnified.
00:03:56.22\00:03:59.03
But I am poor and needy;
yet the Lord thinketh upon me:
00:03:59.06\00:04:04.80
thou art my help and my
deliverer; make no tarrying,
00:04:04.83\00:04:10.54
O my God.
00:04:10.57\00:04:11.54
Continuing with Psalm 41.
00:04:11.55\00:04:14.14
Blessed is he that considereth
the poor: the Lord will deliver
00:04:14.86\00:04:20.99
him in time of trouble.
00:04:21.03\00:04:22.50
The Lord will preserve
him, and keep him alive;
00:04:22.54\00:04:26.45
and he shall be blessed upon the
earth: and thou wilt not deliver
00:04:26.49\00:04:31.05
him unto the
will of his enemies.
00:04:31.08\00:04:32.82
The Lord will strengthen
him upon the bed of languishing:
00:04:32.85\00:04:36.38
thou wilt make all
his bed in his sickness.
00:04:36.42\00:04:40.35
I said, Lord, be
merciful unto me: heal my soul;
00:04:40.38\00:04:44.97
for I have sinned against thee.
00:04:45.01\00:04:47.57
Mine enemies speak evil
of me, When shall he die,
00:04:47.60\00:04:50.90
and his name perish?
00:04:50.93\00:04:52.33
And if he come to see
me, he speaketh vanity:
00:04:52.36\00:04:55.22
his heart gathereth iniquity
to itself; when he goeth abroad,
00:04:55.25\00:04:59.06
he telleth it.
00:04:59.10\00:05:00.30
All that hate me
whisper together against me:
00:05:00.33\00:05:03.86
against me do
thy devise my hurt.
00:05:03.90\00:05:06.76
An evil disease, say
they, cleaveth fast unto him:
00:05:06.79\00:05:10.47
and now that he lieth
he shall rise up no more.
00:05:10.50\00:05:14.22
Yea, mine own familiar
friend, in whom I trusted,
00:05:14.26\00:05:17.91
which did eat of my bread, hath
lifted up his heel against me.
00:05:17.95\00:05:22.50
But thou, O Lord, be merciful
unto me, and raise me up,
00:05:22.53\00:05:27.79
that I may requite them.
00:05:27.83\00:05:30.00
By this I know
that thou favorest me,
00:05:30.03\00:05:33.47
because mine enemy
doth not triumph over me.
00:05:33.51\00:05:37.29
And as for me, thou
upholdest me in mine integrity,
00:05:37.32\00:05:42.45
and settest me
before thy face forever.
00:05:42.49\00:05:45.39
Blessed be the Lord God
of Israel from everlasting,
00:05:45.42\00:05:49.93
and to everlasting.
00:05:49.96\00:05:51.67
Amen, and Amen.
00:05:51.70\00:05:53.38
Continuing now with
Psalm 42, and this is the
00:05:53.41\00:05:56.30
King James Version.
00:05:56.34\00:05:57.31
As the hart panteth
after the water brooks,
00:05:57.32\00:06:01.46
so panteth my
soul after thee, O God.
00:06:01.50\00:06:04.95
My soul thirsteth for
God, for the living God:
00:06:04.98\00:06:09.11
when shall I come
and appear before God?
00:06:09.14\00:06:12.31
My tears have been
my meat day and night,
00:06:12.34\00:06:15.43
while they continually
say unto me, Where is thy God?
00:06:15.47\00:06:19.66
When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul in me:
00:06:19.70\00:06:23.56
for I had gone with the
multitude, I went with them
00:06:23.59\00:06:26.94
to the house of God, with
the voice of joy and praise,
00:06:26.98\00:06:30.30
with a multitude
that kept holy day.
00:06:30.33\00:06:32.32
Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou
00:06:32.35\00:06:37.38
disquieted in me? hope thou
in God: for I shall yet praise
00:06:37.41\00:06:42.82
him for the help
of his countenance.
00:06:42.86\00:06:44.74
O my God, my soul is cast
down within me: therefore will I
00:06:44.77\00:06:49.64
remember thee from the land of
Jordan, and of the Hermonites,
00:06:49.68\00:06:54.51
from the hill Mizar.
00:06:54.54\00:06:55.79
Deep calleth unto deep at
the noise of thy waterspouts:
00:06:55.83\00:07:00.81
all thy waves and thy
billows are gone over me.
00:07:00.84\00:07:04.95
Yet the Lord will command his
loving-kindness in the daytime,
00:07:04.98\00:07:10.25
and in the night his
song shall be with me,
00:07:10.29\00:07:14.65
and my prayer unto
the God of my life.
00:07:14.69\00:07:17.86
I will say unto God my rock,
Why hast thou forgotten me?
00:07:17.89\00:07:22.63
why go I mourning because
of the oppression of the enemy?
00:07:22.67\00:07:27.25
As with a sword in my
bones, mine enemies reproach me;
00:07:27.29\00:07:31.84
while they say daily
unto me, Where is thy God?
00:07:31.88\00:07:35.76
Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou
00:07:35.79\00:07:39.60
disquieted within me? hope thou
in God: for I shall yet praise
00:07:39.64\00:07:45.21
him, who is the health of
my countenance, and my God.
00:07:45.25\00:07:49.16
Continuing with Psalm 43.
00:07:49.17\00:07:51.51
Judge me, O God, and plead my
cause against an ungodly nation:
00:07:51.54\00:07:56.69
O deliver me from the
deceitful and unjust man.
00:07:56.73\00:08:00.71
For thou art the God of my
strength: why dost thou cast
00:08:00.75\00:08:04.35
me off? why go I mourning
because of the oppression
00:08:04.39\00:08:07.96
of the enemy?
00:08:08.00\00:08:08.97
O send out thy light and
thy truth: let them lead me;
00:08:08.98\00:08:14.26
let them bring me unto thy holy
hill, and to thy tabernacles.
00:08:14.29\00:08:19.86
Then will I go unto the altar of
God, unto God my exceeding joy:
00:08:19.89\00:08:25.43
yea, upon the harp will I
praise thee, O God my God.
00:08:25.46\00:08:30.75
Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? and why art thou
00:08:30.79\00:08:36.01
disquieted within me? hope in
God: for I shall yet praise him,
00:08:36.05\00:08:42.00
who is the health of my
countenance, and my God.
00:08:42.04\00:08:45.90
Continuing with
Psalm 44, and this is the
00:08:45.94\00:08:48.84
King James Version.
00:08:48.87\00:08:49.99
We have heard with our ears,
O God, our fathers have told us
00:08:50.02\00:08:55.31
what work thou didst in
their days, in the times of old.
00:08:55.35\00:09:00.60
How thou didst drive out
the heathen with thy hand,
00:09:00.64\00:09:04.14
and plantedst them; how
thou didst afflict the people,
00:09:04.18\00:09:07.65
and cast them out.
00:09:07.68\00:09:09.21
For they got not the land in
possession by their own sword,
00:09:09.24\00:09:13.65
neither did their own arm
save them: but thy right hand,
00:09:13.68\00:09:18.08
and thine arm, and the
light of thy countenance,
00:09:18.12\00:09:21.57
because thou
hadst a favor unto them.
00:09:21.61\00:09:24.45
Thou art my King, O God:
command deliverances for Jacob.
00:09:24.48\00:09:29.85
Through thee will we push down
our enemies: through thy name
00:09:29.88\00:09:35.22
will we tread them
under that rise up against us.
00:09:35.25\00:09:39.28
For I will not trust in my bow,
neither shall my sword save me.
00:09:39.32\00:09:43.85
But thou hast saved us from
our enemies, and has put them
00:09:43.88\00:09:47.72
to shame that hated us.
00:09:47.75\00:09:49.61
In God we boast all
the day long, and praise
00:09:49.64\00:09:53.87
they name for ever.
00:09:53.90\00:09:55.95
Selah.
00:09:55.99\00:09:56.96
But thou hast cast
off, and put us to shame;
00:09:56.97\00:10:00.87
and goest not
forth with our armies.
00:10:00.90\00:10:03.08
Thou makest us to
turn back from the enemy:
00:10:03.11\00:10:06.12
and they which hate
us spoil for themselves.
00:10:06.16\00:10:09.09
Thou hast given us like
sheep appointed for meat;
00:10:09.13\00:10:12.12
and hast scattered
us among the heathen.
00:10:12.15\00:10:13.96
Thou sellest thy people for
nought, and dost not increase
00:10:14.00\00:10:17.78
thy wealth by their price.
00:10:17.81\00:10:19.20
Thou makest us a
reproach to our neighbors,
00:10:19.23\00:10:22.21
a scorn and a derision to
them that are round about us.
00:10:22.24\00:10:27.06
Thou makest us a
byword among the heathen,
00:10:27.09\00:10:29.66
a shaking of the
head among the people.
00:10:29.70\00:10:32.65
My confusion is
continually before me,
00:10:32.69\00:10:35.50
and the shame of my
face hath covered me,
00:10:35.54\00:10:38.29
for the voice of him that
reproacheth and blasphemeth;
00:10:38.32\00:10:41.79
by reason of the
enemy and avenger.
00:10:41.83\00:10:44.63
All this is come upon us;
yet have we not forgotten thee,
00:10:44.66\00:10:50.30
neither have we dealt
falsely in thy covenant.
00:10:50.34\00:10:52.96
Our heart is not turned back,
neither have our steps declined
00:10:53.00\00:10:57.44
from thy way; though thou hast
sore broken us in the place of
00:10:57.48\00:11:01.89
dragons, and covered us
with the shadow of death.
00:11:01.92\00:11:04.52
If we have forgotten the name
of our God, or stretched out our
00:11:04.56\00:11:09.91
hands to a strange god;
shall not God search this out?
00:11:09.94\00:11:14.55
for he knoweth the
secrets of the heart.
00:11:14.59\00:11:16.90
Yea, for thy sake are
we killed all the day long;
00:11:16.93\00:11:22.10
we are counted as
sheep for the slaughter.
00:11:22.14\00:11:26.40
Awake, why sleepest
thou, O Lord? arise,
00:11:26.44\00:11:30.67
cast us not off forever.
00:11:30.70\00:11:33.10
Wherefore hidest thou thy face,
and forgettest our affliction
00:11:33.14\00:11:37.83
and our oppression?
00:11:37.86\00:11:39.00
For our soul is bowed down
to the dust: our belly cleaveth
00:11:39.04\00:11:44.21
unto the earth.
00:11:44.24\00:11:45.21
Arise for our help, and
redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
00:11:45.22\00:11:50.99
Continuing with Psalm 45, and
this is the King James Version.
00:11:51.02\00:11:54.65
My heart is inditing a good
matter: I speak of the things
00:11:55.72\00:12:00.80
which I have made touching
the king: my tongue is the pen
00:12:00.84\00:12:05.89
of a ready writer.
00:12:05.93\00:12:07.34
Thou art fairer
than the children of men:
00:12:07.38\00:12:10.58
grace is poured into
thy lips: therefore God hath
00:12:10.62\00:12:16.13
blessed thee forever.
00:12:16.16\00:12:17.89
Gird thy sword upon
thy thigh, O most mighty,
00:12:17.92\00:12:22.11
with thy glory and thy majesty.
00:12:22.14\00:12:24.03
And in thy majesty ride
prosperously because of truth
00:12:24.07\00:12:28.35
and meekness and righteousness;
and thy right hand shall teach
00:12:28.38\00:12:33.69
thee terrible things.
00:12:33.72\00:12:34.78
Thine arrows are sharp in
the heart of the king's enemies;
00:12:34.82\00:12:38.43
whereby the
people fall under thee.
00:12:38.46\00:12:42.07
Thy throne, O God,
is forever and ever:
00:12:42.11\00:12:45.65
the scepter of thy
kingdom is a right scepter.
00:12:45.68\00:12:49.56
Thou lovest righteousness,
and hatest wickedness:
00:12:49.60\00:12:53.44
therefore God, thy God, hath
anointed thee with the oil of
00:12:53.47\00:12:57.71
gladness above thy fellows.
00:12:57.74\00:12:59.66
All thy garments smell of
myrrh, and aloes, and cassia,
00:12:59.69\00:13:04.92
out of the ivory
palaces, whereby they have
00:13:04.95\00:13:08.89
made thee glad.
00:13:08.92\00:13:09.89
Kings' daughters were
among thy honorable women:
00:13:09.90\00:13:13.54
upon thy right hand did stand
the queen in gold of Ophir.
00:13:13.57\00:13:17.79
Hearken, O daughter, and
consider, and incline thine ear;
00:13:17.83\00:13:21.44
forget also thine own
people, and thy father's house;
00:13:21.47\00:13:25.01
so shall the king greatly desire
thy beauty: for he is thy Lord;
00:13:25.05\00:13:29.69
and worship thou him.
00:13:29.73\00:13:30.85
And the daughter of Tyre
shall be there with a gift;
00:13:30.88\00:13:34.64
even the rich among the
people shall entreat thy favor.
00:13:34.67\00:13:38.40
The king's daughter
is all glorious within:
00:13:38.43\00:13:40.97
her clothing is of wrought gold.
00:13:41.00\00:13:43.47
She shall be brought unto the
king in raiment of needlework:
00:13:43.50\00:13:46.91
the virgins her companions
that follow her shall be brought
00:13:46.94\00:13:50.31
unto thee.
00:13:50.35\00:13:51.32
With gladness and
rejoicing shall they be brought:
00:13:51.33\00:13:54.67
they shall enter
into the king's palace.
00:13:54.71\00:13:57.06
Instead of thy
fathers shall be thy children,
00:13:57.10\00:14:00.61
whom thou mayest make
princes in all the earth.
00:14:00.64\00:14:04.09
I will make thy name to be
remembered in all generations:
00:14:04.12\00:14:08.79
therefore shall the people
praise thee forever and ever.
00:14:08.83\00:14:13.46
Continuing with Psalm 46.
00:14:13.50\00:14:16.18
This is the King James Version.
00:14:16.22\00:14:17.76
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
00:14:17.79\00:14:25.13
Therefore will not we fear,
though the earth be removed,
00:14:25.16\00:14:28.61
and though the mountains
be carried into the midst
00:14:28.64\00:14:30.61
of the sea; though the waters
thereof roar and be troubled,
00:14:30.64\00:14:34.36
though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof.
00:14:34.39\00:14:37.27
Selah.
