Hello, and welcome
back to His Words Are Life.
00:00:14.04\00:00:16.32
For those of you who are joining
with us today who are heavy
00:00:16.35\00:00:20.86
of heart, we are in the middle
of Psalm 46, God is our refuge
00:00:20.89\00:00:25.24
and strength.
00:00:25.27\00:00:26.24
For those of you who are
joining us today with rejoicing
00:00:26.25\00:00:29.31
and thanksgiving, we're
going to move on to Psalm 47,
00:00:29.34\00:00:31.65
which is a song of praise.
00:00:31.68\00:00:32.65
In every circumstance
that we experience in life,
00:00:32.67\00:00:36.62
David has left us words
with which to praise God,
00:00:36.65\00:00:40.85
and express our hope in Him.
00:00:40.88\00:00:42.10
I'm Kelly Mowrer.
00:00:42.13\00:00:43.52
Thank you for joining with me.
00:00:43.55\00:00:44.63
Let's pray
before we start reading.
00:00:44.66\00:00:46.47
Dear God, thank You that
You are our refuge and strength,
00:00:46.50\00:00:52.26
and thank You that we can come
with joy and draw water from
00:00:52.29\00:00:56.32
Your wells of deliverance.
00:00:56.35\00:00:57.63
Please be with
us now as we read.
00:00:57.66\00:00:59.51
Amen.
00:00:59.54\00:01:00.51
We're picking up in Psalm
46, verse 4, and this is the
00:01:00.52\00:01:04.83
King James Version.
00:01:04.86\00:01:05.83
There is a river, the streams
whereof shall make glad the city
00:01:06.93\00:01:11.55
of God, the holy place of the
tabernacles of the most High.
00:01:11.58\00:01:15.15
God is in the midst of
her; she shall not be moved:
00:01:15.18\00:01:18.33
God shall help her,
and that right early.
00:01:18.36\00:01:22.19
The heathen raged,
the kingdoms were moved:
00:01:22.22\00:01:25.71
he uttered his
voice, the earth melted.
00:01:25.74\00:01:28.28
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
00:01:28.31\00:01:34.61
Selah.
00:01:34.64\00:01:35.61
Come, behold the works of the
Lord, what desolations he hath
00:01:35.62\00:01:39.59
made in the earth.
00:01:39.62\00:01:40.59
He maketh wars to cease
unto the end of the earth;
00:01:40.60\00:01:43.75
he breaketh the bow, and
cutteth the spear in sunder;
00:01:43.78\00:01:47.56
he burneth the
chariot in the fire.
00:01:47.59\00:01:49.31
Be still, and know that I
am God: I will be exalted among
00:01:49.34\00:01:56.25
the heathen, I will
be exalted in the earth.
00:01:56.35\00:01:59.64
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge.
00:01:59.67\00:02:06.09
Selah.
00:02:06.12\00:02:07.09
Continuing with Psalm 47.
00:02:07.10\00:02:09.26
This is the King James Version.
00:02:09.29\00:02:10.65
O clap your
hands, all ye people;
00:02:10.68\00:02:13.58
shout unto God with
the voice of triumph.
00:02:13.61\00:02:16.54
for the Lord most high is
terrible; he is a great King
00:02:16.57\00:02:19.89
over all the earth.
00:02:19.92\00:02:20.89
He shall subdue
the people under us,
00:02:20.90\00:02:23.53
and the nations under our feet.
00:02:23.57\00:02:25.07
He shall choose
our inheritance for us,
00:02:25.10\00:02:28.51
the excellency of
Jacob whom he loved.
00:02:28.54\00:02:31.30
Selah.
00:02:31.33\00:02:32.30
God is gone up with a
shout, the Lord with the sound
00:02:32.31\00:02:36.41
of a trumpet.
00:02:36.44\00:02:37.41
Sing praises to
God, sing praises:
00:02:37.42\00:02:39.83
sing praises unto
our King, sing praises.
00:02:39.87\00:02:42.92
For God is the
King of all the earth:
00:02:42.95\00:02:46.20
sing ye praises
with understanding.
00:02:46.24\00:02:49.41
God reigneth over the heathen:
God sitteth upon the throne
00:02:49.45\00:02:53.75
of his holiness.
00:02:53.76\00:02:54.84
The princes of the
people are gathered together,
00:02:54.87\00:02:57.96
even the people of
the God of Abraham:
00:02:57.99\00:03:00.50
for the shields of
the earth belong unto God:
00:03:00.53\00:03:04.69
he is greatly exalted.
00:03:04.72\00:03:07.03
Continuing with Psalm 48.
00:03:07.06\00:03:09.34
This is the King James Version.
00:03:09.37\00:03:10.84
Great is the Lord, and greatly
to be praised in the city
00:03:10.87\00:03:15.69
of our God, in the
mountain of his holiness.
00:03:15.73\00:03:18.63
Beautiful for situation,
the joy of the whole earth,
00:03:18.66\00:03:22.80
is mount Zion on
the sides of the north,
00:03:22.84\00:03:25.25
the city of the great King.
00:03:25.29\00:03:26.82
God is known in her
palaces for a refuge.
00:03:26.86\00:03:30.38
For, lo, the
kings were assembled,
00:03:30.41\00:03:33.11
they passed by together.
00:03:33.15\00:03:34.77
They saw it, and so they
marveled; they were troubled,
00:03:34.80\00:03:39.08
and hasted away.
00:03:39.11\00:03:40.26
Fear took hold upon
them there, and pain,
00:03:40.29\00:03:43.49
as of a woman in travail.
00:03:43.53\00:03:45.33
Thou breakest the ships of
Tarshish with an east wind.
00:03:45.37\00:03:49.22
As we have heard, so have we
seen in the city of the Lord of
00:03:49.25\00:03:53.76
hosts, in the city of our God:
God will establish it for ever.
00:03:53.79\00:03:58.26
Selah.
00:03:58.30\00:03:59.27
We have thought of thy
loving-kindness, O God,
00:03:59.28\00:04:02.36
in the midst of thy temple.
00:04:02.40\00:04:03.83
According to thy name, O God,
so is thy praise unto the ends
00:04:03.86\00:04:08.80
of the earth: thy right
hand is full of righteousness.
00:04:08.84\00:04:12.11
Let mount Zion rejoice, let
the daughters of Judah be glad,
00:04:12.15\00:04:16.39
because of thy judgments.
00:04:16.43\00:04:17.78
Walk about Zion,
and go round about her:
00:04:17.82\00:04:21.27
tell the towers thereof.
00:04:21.31\00:04:22.85
Mark ye well her
bulwarks, consider her palaces;
00:04:22.89\00:04:26.53
that ye may tell it to
the generation following.
00:04:26.56\00:04:30.17
For this God is our
God forever and ever:
00:04:30.20\00:04:35.37
he will be our
guide even unto death.
00:04:35.41\00:04:40.55
Continuing with Psalm 49.
00:04:40.58\00:04:42.72
This is the King James Version.
00:04:42.75\00:04:43.91
Hear this, all
ye people; give ear,
00:04:43.94\00:04:47.75
all ye inhabitants of
the world: both low and high,
00:04:47.79\00:04:51.90
rich and poor, together.
00:04:51.94\00:04:53.14
My mouth shall speak of wisdom;
and the meditation of my heart
00:04:53.18\00:04:57.79
shall be of understanding.
00:04:57.83\00:04:59.47
I will incline mine ear to
a parable: I will open my dark
00:04:59.50\00:05:05.04
saying upon the harp.
00:05:05.07\00:05:06.79
Wherefore should I fear in the
days of evil, when the iniquity
00:05:06.82\00:05:11.69
of my heels
shall compass me about?
00:05:11.73\00:05:14.37
They that trust in their
wealth, and boast themselves
00:05:14.41\00:05:18.98
in the
multitude of their riches;
00:05:19.01\00:05:20.81
none of them can by any
means redeem his brother,
00:05:20.85\00:05:25.20
nor give to God a ransom
for him: (for the redemption of
00:05:25.24\00:05:29.68
their soul is precious,
and it ceaseth forever:)
00:05:29.72\00:05:32.71
that he should still live for
ever, and not see corruption.
00:05:32.74\00:05:36.17
For he seeth that wise men
die, likewise the fool and the
00:05:36.20\00:05:39.67
brutish person perish, and
leave their wealth to others.
00:05:39.71\00:05:43.15
Their inward thought
is, that their houses shall
00:05:43.18\00:05:46.42
continue forever, and
their dwelling places to all
00:05:46.46\00:05:49.62
generations; they call their
lands after their own names.
00:05:49.66\00:05:54.81
Nevertheless man
being in honor abideth not:
00:05:54.84\00:06:00.28
he is like the
beasts that perish.
00:06:00.32\00:06:02.91
This their way is their
folly: yet their posterity
00:06:02.94\00:06:08.85
approve their sayings.
00:06:08.88\00:06:10.51
Selah.
00:06:10.54\00:06:11.51
Like sheep they are laid in the
grave; death shall feed on them;
00:06:11.52\00:06:15.70
and the upright shall
have dominion over them
00:06:15.74\00:06:17.74
in the morning; and their beauty
shall consume in the grave
00:06:17.77\00:06:21.16
from their dwelling.
00:06:21.19\00:06:22.16
But God will redeem my soul
from the power of the grave:
00:06:22.20\00:06:28.02
for he shall receive me.
00:06:28.05\00:06:29.94
Selah.
00:06:29.97\00:06:30.94
Be not thou afraid
when one is made rich,
00:06:30.95\00:06:34.58
when the glory of his house
is increased; for when he dieth
00:06:34.61\00:06:39.94
he shall carry nothing
away: his glory shall not
00:06:39.98\00:06:43.01
descend after him.
00:06:43.04\00:06:44.20
Though while he
lived he blessed his soul:
00:06:44.23\00:06:47.57
and men will praise thee,
when thou doest well to thyself.
00:06:47.60\00:06:51.91
He shall go to the
generation of his fathers;
00:06:51.94\00:06:55.45
they shall never see light.
00:06:55.48\00:06:57.01
Men that is in honor,
and understandeth not,
00:06:57.05\00:07:01.45
is like the beasts that perish.
00:07:01.48\00:07:04.57
Continuing with Psalm 50, and
this is the King James Version.
00:07:04.61\00:07:08.50
The mighty God, even
the Lord, hath spoken,
00:07:08.53\00:07:13.00
and called the earth from
the rising of the sun unto the
00:07:13.03\00:07:17.05
going down thereof.
00:07:17.08\00:07:18.21
Out of Zion, the perfection
of beauty, God hath shined.
00:07:18.25\00:07:24.32
Our God shall come,
and shall not keep silence:
00:07:24.36\00:07:28.36
a fire shall devour before him,
and it shall be very tempestuous
00:07:28.39\00:07:32.08
round about him.
00:07:32.11\00:07:33.08
He shall call to the heavens
from above, and to the earth,
00:07:33.09\00:07:36.46
that he may judge his people.
00:07:36.50\00:07:38.35
Gather my saints together
unto me; those that have made a
00:07:38.38\00:07:41.61
covenant with me by sacrifice.
00:07:41.64\00:07:43.60
And the heavens shall
declare his righteousness:
00:07:43.64\00:07:47.50
for God is judge himself.
00:07:47.54\00:07:49.94
Selah.
00:07:49.98\00:07:50.95
Hear, O my people, and
I will speak; O Israel,
00:07:50.96\00:07:54.57
and I will testify against
thee: I am God, even thy God.
00:07:54.60\00:07:59.14
I will not reprove thee
for thy sacrifices or thy burnt
00:07:59.17\00:08:03.68
offerings, to have
been continually before me.
00:08:03.71\00:08:06.62
I will take no
bullock out of thy house,
00:08:06.66\00:08:09.43
nor he goats out of thy folds.
00:08:09.47\00:08:11.36
For every beast of
the forest is mine,
00:08:11.39\00:08:13.84
and the cattle
upon a thousand hills.
00:08:13.88\00:08:16.43
I know all the
fowls of the mountains:
00:08:16.46\00:08:18.85
and the wild beasts
of the field are mine.
00:08:18.89\00:08:21.04
If I were hungry, I
would not tell thee:
00:08:21.08\00:08:23.17
for the world is mine,
and the fullness thereof.
00:08:23.20\00:08:26.17
Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?
00:08:26.20\00:08:30.25
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and
pay thy vows unto the most High:
00:08:30.28\00:08:37.36
and call upon me in the day
of trouble: I will deliver thee,
00:08:37.40\00:08:41.54
and thou shalt glorify me.
00:08:41.58\00:08:43.12
But unto the wicked God saith,
What hast thou to do to declare
00:08:43.15\00:08:48.74
my statutes, or that thou
shouldest take my covenant
00:08:48.77\00:08:51.88
in thy mouth?
00:08:51.91\00:08:52.88
Seeing thou hatest instruction,
and castest my words
00:08:52.89\00:08:57.00
behind thee.
00:08:57.03\00:08:58.00
When thou sawest a thief,
then thou consentedst with him,
00:08:58.01\00:09:02.37
and hast been
partaker with adulterers.
00:09:02.40\00:09:05.24
Thou givest thy mouth to evil,
and thy tongue frameth deceit.
00:09:05.28\00:09:09.69
Thou sittest and
speakest against thy brother;
00:09:09.72\00:09:13.25
thou slanderest
thine own mother's son.
00:09:13.29\00:09:16.01
These things hast thou
done, and I kept silence;
00:09:16.05\00:09:20.22
thou thoughtest that I
was altogether such an one as
00:09:20.25\00:09:24.27
thyself: but I will reprove
thee, and set them in order
00:09:24.30\00:09:28.28
before thine eyes.
00:09:28.32\00:09:29.66
Now consider this
ye that forget God,
00:09:29.70\00:09:33.41
lest I tear you in pieces,
and there be none to deliver.
00:09:33.45\00:09:37.04
Whoso offereth praise glorifieth
me: and to him that ordereth
00:09:37.07\00:09:43.03
his conversation aright will
I show the salvation of God.
00:09:43.06\00:09:47.98
Continuing with Psalm 51, and
this is the King James Version.
00:09:48.02\00:09:52.91
Have mercy upon me,
O God, according to thy
00:09:52.94\00:09:57.78
loving-kindness: according
unto the multitude of thy tender
00:09:57.81\00:10:02.10
mercies blot out
my transgressions.
00:10:02.13\00:10:04.69
Wash me thoroughly from
mine iniquity, and cleanse me
00:10:04.72\00:10:08.23
from my sin.
00:10:08.27\00:10:09.24
For I acknowledge my
transgressions: and my sin
00:10:09.25\00:10:12.54
is ever before me.
00:10:12.58\00:10:14.17
Against thee, thee
only, have I sinned,
00:10:14.20\00:10:18.51
and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be justified
00:10:18.54\00:10:22.99
when thou speakest and
be clear when thou judgest.
00:10:23.03\00:10:25.64
Behold, I was
shapen in iniquity;
00:10:25.67\00:10:28.36
and in sin did my
mother conceive me.
00:10:28.39\00:10:31.01
Behold, thou desirest
truth in the inward parts:
00:10:31.04\00:10:37.08
and in the hidden part thou
shalt make me to know wisdom.
00:10:37.11\00:10:41.09
Purge me with hyssop, and
I shall be clean: wash me,
00:10:41.12\00:10:45.38
and I shall be whiter than snow.
00:10:45.42\00:10:48.39
Make me to hear joy and
gladness; that the bones which
00:10:48.42\00:10:54.13
thou hast broken may rejoice.
00:10:54.17\00:10:56.47
Hide thy face from my sins, and
blot out all mine iniquities.
00:10:56.51\00:11:02.16
Create in me a
clean heart, O God;
00:11:02.19\00:11:05.53
and renew a
right spirit within me.
00:11:05.56\00:11:08.83
Cast me not away
from thy presence;
00:11:08.86\00:11:11.74
and take not thy
Holy Spirit from me.
00:11:11.78\00:11:15.19
Restore unto me the
joy of thy salvation;
00:11:15.22\00:11:18.59
and uphold me
with thy free spirit.
00:11:18.63\00:11:22.57
Then will I teach
transgressors thy ways;
00:11:22.61\00:11:25.71
and sinners shall
be converted unto thee.
00:11:25.74\00:11:29.28
Deliver me from
bloodguiltiness, O God,
00:11:29.32\00:11:32.79
thou God of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud
00:11:32.82\00:11:36.98
of thy righteousness.
00:11:37.01\00:11:38.29
O Lord, open thou my
lips; and my mouth shall show
00:11:38.32\00:11:42.52
forth thy praise.
00:11:42.56\00:11:44.30
For thou desirest not
sacrifice; else would I give it:
00:11:44.33\00:11:49.35
thou delightest
not in burnt offering.
00:11:49.38\00:11:53.59
The sacrifices of
God are a broken spirit:
00:11:53.63\00:11:57.77
a broken and a contrite heart,
O God, thou wilt not despise.
00:11:57.80\00:12:02.83
Do good in thy
good pleasure unto Zion:
00:12:02.86\00:12:06.83
build thou the
walls of Jerusalem.
00:12:06.86\00:12:09.69
Then shalt thou be pleased with
the sacrifices of righteousness,
00:12:09.73\00:12:15.50
with burnt offering
and whole burnt offering:
00:12:15.54\00:12:18.94
then shall they offer
bullocks upon thine altar.
00:12:18.98\00:12:22.32
Continuing with Psalm 52, and
this is the King James Version.
00:12:22.35\00:12:26.42
Why boastest thou thyself
in mischief, O mighty man?
00:12:26.45\00:12:33.04
the goodness of God
endureth continually.
00:12:33.08\00:12:36.25
Thy tongue deviseth
mischiefs; like a sharp razor,
00:12:36.29\00:12:40.58
working deceitfully.
00:12:40.61\00:12:42.17
Thou lovest evil more than
good; and lying rather than
00:12:42.21\00:12:46.45
to speak righteousness.
00:12:46.48\00:12:47.60
Selah.
00:12:47.64\00:12:48.61
Thou lovest all devouring
words, O thou deceitful tongue.
00:12:48.62\00:12:53.14
God shall likewise
destroy thee forever,
00:12:53.17\00:12:56.78
he shall take thee away,
and pluck thee out of thy
00:12:56.82\00:12:59.66
dwelling place, and root thee
out of the land of the living.
00:12:59.70\00:13:02.47
Selah.
00:13:02.50\00:13:03.47
The righteous also
shall see, and fear,
00:13:03.48\00:13:06.54
and shall laugh at him: Lo this
is the man that made not God
00:13:06.57\00:13:09.91
his strength; but trusted
in the abundance of his riches,
00:13:09.95\00:13:13.26
and strengthened
himself in his wickedness.
00:13:13.29\00:13:16.15
But I am like a green
olive tree in the house of God:
00:13:16.19\00:13:20.08
I trust in the mercy
of God forever and ever.
00:13:20.12\00:13:24.12
I will praise thee for
ever, because thou hast done it:
00:13:24.15\00:13:26.87
and I will wait on thy name; for
it is good before thy saints.
00:13:26.90\00:13:31.59
Continuing with Psalm 53.
00:13:31.62\00:13:33.78
The fool hath said in
his heart, There is no God.
00:13:35.04\00:13:38.03
Corrupt are they, and
have done abominable iniquity:
00:13:38.06\00:13:41.02
there is none that doeth good.
00:13:41.05\00:13:42.73
God looked down from
heaven upon the children of men,
00:13:42.77\00:13:45.91
to see if there were
any that did understand,
00:13:45.94\00:13:48.50
that did seek God.
00:13:48.53\00:13:49.92
Every one of them is gone
back: they are altogether become
00:13:49.95\00:13:53.81
filthy; there is none
that doeth good, no, not one.
00:13:53.84\00:13:58.54
Have the workers of
iniquity no knowledge?
00:13:58.58\00:14:01.46
who eat up my
people as they eat bread:
00:14:01.49\00:14:04.34
they have not called upon God.
00:14:04.38\00:14:06.93
There were they in
great fear, where no fear was:
00:14:06.97\00:14:11.40
for God hath scattered the bones
of him that encampeth against
00:14:11.43\00:14:14.97
thee: thou hast
put them to shame,
00:14:15.00\00:14:17.12
because God hath despised them.
00:14:17.16\00:14:19.20
Oh that the salvation of
Israel were come out of Zion!
00:14:19.24\00:14:22.84
When God bringeth back
the captivity of his people,
00:14:22.88\00:14:26.45
Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.
00:14:26.48\00:14:30.86
Thank you for joining with me
today to read the word of God.
00:14:30.90\00:14:34.69
Until we come together
again, may He bless and keep
00:14:34.72\00:14:37.23
each one of us to His glory.
00:14:37.26\00:14:38.65
Goodbye.
00:14:38.68\00:14:39.65
