Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:13.09\00:00:15.10
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and
today we're going to be reading
00:00:15.13\00:00:18.10
together in the book of Psalms.
00:00:18.13\00:00:20.14
Before we start,
let's pray together.
00:00:20.18\00:00:22.50
Dear Heavenly Father, many of
us come apart in this time with
00:00:22.53\00:00:27.87
things in our hearts, and on our
minds, that would distract us
00:00:27.90\00:00:33.20
from hearing with a full heart,
and full attention, Your words.
00:00:33.23\00:00:37.67
Please remove the distractions
and let us focus entirely
00:00:37.70\00:00:41.73
on You, and worship You
as we listen to Your words.
00:00:41.76\00:00:44.55
We love You so much,
and thank You for loving us.
00:00:44.58\00:00:47.33
Amen.
00:00:47.36\00:00:48.33
Reading in the book of Psalms;
this is the King James Version.
00:00:48.34\00:00:52.09
I'm beginning with Psalm 54.
00:00:52.12\00:00:54.43
Save me, O God, by thy name,
and judge me by thy strength.
00:00:54.46\00:01:00.34
Hear my prayer, O God; give
ear to the words of my mouth.
00:01:00.38\00:01:06.22
For strangers are
risen up against me,
00:01:06.25\00:01:09.38
and oppressors seek after
my soul: they have not set God
00:01:09.39\00:01:13.53
before them.
00:01:13.56\00:01:14.53
Selah.
00:01:14.54\00:01:15.51
Behold, God is mine
helper: the Lord is with them
00:01:15.52\00:01:20.77
that uphold my soul.
00:01:20.80\00:01:22.15
He shall reward
evil unto mine enemies:
00:01:22.18\00:01:25.75
cut them off in thy truth.
00:01:25.79\00:01:27.63
I will freely sacrifice unto
thee: I will praise thy name,
00:01:27.67\00:01:32.97
O Lord; for it is good.
00:01:33.01\00:01:34.61
For he hath delivered
me out of all trouble:
00:01:34.65\00:01:37.29
and mine eye hath seen
his desire upon mine enemies.
00:01:37.33\00:01:42.27
This is Psalm 55, of
the King James Version.
00:01:42.30\00:01:45.66
Give ear to my prayer, O
God; and hide not thyself
00:01:46.37\00:01:50.11
from my supplication.
00:01:50.15\00:01:51.52
Attend unto me, and hear
me: I mourn in my complaint,
00:01:51.55\00:01:55.88
and make a noise; because
of the voice of the enemy,
00:01:55.91\00:02:00.17
because of the oppression of the
wicked: for they cast iniquity
00:02:00.21\00:02:03.37
upon me, and in
wrath they hate me.
00:02:03.40\00:02:06.12
My heart is sore pained within
me: and the terrors of death
00:02:06.15\00:02:10.71
are fallen upon me.
00:02:10.75\00:02:12.24
Fearfulness and
trembling are come upon me,
00:02:12.28\00:02:16.08
and horror hath overwhelmed me.
00:02:16.11\00:02:18.44
And I said, Oh that I
had wings like a dove!
00:02:18.47\00:02:21.86
for then would I fly
away, and be at rest.
00:02:21.89\00:02:25.21
Lo, then would I wander far off,
and remain in the wilderness.
00:02:25.24\00:02:29.44
Selah.
00:02:29.48\00:02:30.45
I would hasten my escape from
the windy storm and tempest.
00:02:30.46\00:02:34.55
Destroy, O Lord, and
divide their tongues:
00:02:34.59\00:02:37.44
for I have seen
violence and strife in the city.
00:02:37.48\00:02:40.03
Day and night they go
about it upon the walls thereof:
00:02:40.06\00:02:43.08
mischief also and
sorrow are in the midst of it.
00:02:43.11\00:02:46.61
Wickedness is in the midst
thereof: deceit and guile depart
00:02:46.64\00:02:51.45
not from her streets.
00:02:51.49\00:02:52.93
For it was not an
enemy that reproached me;
00:02:52.96\00:02:55.61
then I could have borne it:
neither was it he that hated me
00:02:55.64\00:02:59.64
that did magnify himself against
me; then I would have hid myself
00:02:59.67\00:03:03.43
from him: but it was thou,
a man mine equal, my guide,
00:03:03.46\00:03:08.26
and mine acquaintance.
00:03:08.29\00:03:09.66
We took sweet counsel together,
and walked unto the house
00:03:09.70\00:03:12.69
of God in company.
00:03:12.72\00:03:14.42
Let death seize upon
them, and let them go down quick
00:03:14.46\00:03:18.25
into hell: for wickedness
is in their dwellings,
00:03:18.28\00:03:20.20
and among them.
00:03:20.24\00:03:21.22
As for me, I will call upon
God; and the Lord shall save me.
00:03:21.26\00:03:27.24
Evening, and morning,
and at noon, will I pray,
00:03:27.28\00:03:31.69
and cry aloud: and
he shall hear my voice.
00:03:31.72\00:03:34.59
He hath delivered my soul in
peace from the battle that was
00:03:34.62\00:03:39.24
against me: for
there were many with me.
00:03:39.27\00:03:42.48
God shall hear,
and afflict them,
00:03:42.52\00:03:44.85
even he that abideth of old.
00:03:44.89\00:03:46.93
Selah.
00:03:46.97\00:03:47.94
Because they have no changes,
therefore they fear not God.
00:03:47.95\00:03:51.29
He hath put forth his hands
against such as be at peace
00:03:51.32\00:03:54.79
with him: he hath
broken his covenant.
00:03:54.82\00:03:56.90
The words of his mouth
were smoother than butter,
00:03:56.94\00:03:59.32
but war was in his heart:
his words were softer than oil,
00:03:59.35\00:04:03.87
yet were they drawn swords.
00:04:03.90\00:04:06.12
Cast thy burden upon the
Lord, and he shall sustain thee:
00:04:06.15\00:04:12.08
he shall never suffer
the righteous to be moved.
00:04:12.11\00:04:15.84
But thou, O God, shalt
bring them down into the pit
00:04:15.87\00:04:19.52
of destruction: bloody and
deceitful men shall not live out
00:04:19.56\00:04:24.30
half their days; but
I will trust in thee.
00:04:24.34\00:04:28.65
Continuing with Psalm 56, and
this is the King James Version.
00:04:29.65\00:04:33.43
Be merciful unto me, O God:
for man would swallow me up;
00:04:35.56\00:04:40.20
he fighting daily oppresseth me.
00:04:40.24\00:04:43.56
Mine enemies would
daily swallow me up:
00:04:43.60\00:04:46.80
for they be many that fight
against me, O thou most High.
00:04:46.84\00:04:50.29
What time I am
afraid, I will trust in thee.
00:04:50.33\00:04:54.44
In God I will praise his word,
in God I have put my trust;
00:04:54.48\00:05:00.52
I will not fear what
flesh can do unto me.
00:05:00.56\00:05:04.20
Every day they wrest my
words: all their thoughts
00:05:04.24\00:05:08.59
are against me for evil.
00:05:08.62\00:05:10.84
They gather themselves
together, they hide themselves,
00:05:10.88\00:05:14.51
they mark my steps,
when they wait for my soul.
00:05:14.54\00:05:17.30
Shall they escape by iniquity?
in thine anger cast down
00:05:17.33\00:05:23.09
the people, O God.
00:05:23.12\00:05:24.58
Thou tellest my wanderings: put
thou my tears into thy bottle:
00:05:24.61\00:05:30.80
are they not in thy book?
00:05:30.83\00:05:32.86
When I cry unto thee, then
shall mine enemies turn back:
00:05:32.89\00:05:37.44
this I know; for God is for me.
00:05:37.47\00:05:41.64
In God will I praise his
word: in the Lord will I praise
00:05:41.68\00:05:46.36
his word.
00:05:46.40\00:05:47.37
In God have I put my trust:
I will not be afraid what man
00:05:47.38\00:05:52.12
can do unto me.
00:05:52.16\00:05:53.16
Thy vows are upon me, O God:
I will render praises unto thee.
00:05:53.20\00:05:59.07
For thou hast
delivered my soul from death:
00:05:59.10\00:06:02.76
wilt not thou
deliver my feet from falling,
00:06:02.79\00:06:06.38
that I may walk before God
in the light of the living?
00:06:06.42\00:06:11.15
Continuing with Psalm 57.
00:06:11.19\00:06:13.96
This is the King James Version.
00:06:14.00\00:06:15.67
Be merciful unto me, O
God, be merciful unto me:
00:06:15.71\00:06:20.26
for my soul trusteth in thee:
yea, in the shadow of thy wings
00:06:20.29\00:06:24.95
will I make my refuge, until
these calamities be overpast.
00:06:24.98\00:06:30.10
I will cry unto God most
high; unto God that performeth
00:06:30.14\00:06:35.23
all things for me.
00:06:35.26\00:06:36.46
He shall send from heaven, and
save me from the reproach of him
00:06:36.50\00:06:40.53
that would swallow me up.
00:06:40.56\00:06:41.81
Selah.
00:06:41.84\00:06:42.91
God shall send forth
his mercy and his truth.
00:06:42.95\00:06:46.72
My soul is among lions: and I
lie even among them that are set
00:06:46.75\00:06:51.52
on fire, even the sons of
men, whose teeth are spears
00:06:51.55\00:06:54.72
and arrows, and
their tongue a sharp sword.
00:06:54.75\00:06:58.12
Be thou exalted, O
God, above the heavens;
00:06:58.15\00:07:01.48
let thy glory be
above all the earth.
00:07:01.52\00:07:04.36
They have prepared a net for
my steps; my soul is bowed down:
00:07:04.40\00:07:10.70
they have digged a pit before
me, into the midst whereof
00:07:10.74\00:07:15.33
they are fallen themselves.
00:07:15.36\00:07:16.78
Selah.
00:07:16.81\00:07:17.84
My heart is fixed, O
God, my heart is fixed:
00:07:17.87\00:07:22.04
I will sing and give praise.
00:07:22.07\00:07:24.93
Awake up, my glory;
awake, psaltery and harp:
00:07:24.96\00:07:28.79
I myself will awake early.
00:07:28.82\00:07:30.31
I will praise thee, O
Lord, among the people:
00:07:30.35\00:07:32.56
I will sing unto
thee among the nations.
00:07:32.60\00:07:35.55
For thy mercy is
great unto the heavens,
00:07:35.59\00:07:38.50
and thy truth unto the clouds.
00:07:38.54\00:07:40.86
Be thou exalted, O
God, above the heavens:
00:07:40.89\00:07:44.53
let thy glory be
above all the earth.
00:07:44.57\00:07:48.72
Psalm 58.
00:07:48.75\00:07:51.08
Do ye indeed speak
righteousness, O congregation?
00:07:51.12\00:07:56.58
do ye judge
uprightly, O ye sons of men?
00:07:56.61\00:08:00.93
Yea, in heart
ye work wickedness;
00:08:00.96\00:08:05.84
ye weigh the violence
of your hands in the earth.
00:08:05.87\00:08:09.62
The wicked are
estranged from the womb:
00:08:09.66\00:08:12.95
they go astray as soon as
they be born, speaking lies.
00:08:12.98\00:08:16.68
Their poison is like
the poison of a serpent:
00:08:16.71\00:08:19.46
they are like the deaf
adder that stoppeth her ear;
00:08:19.49\00:08:22.82
which will not hearken
to the voice of charmers,
00:08:22.85\00:08:26.14
charming never so wisely.
00:08:26.17\00:08:28.22
Break their teeth,
O God, in their mouth:
00:08:28.26\00:08:31.25
break out the great teeth
of the young lions, O Lord.
00:08:31.28\00:08:34.80
Let them melt away as
waters which run continually:
00:08:34.84\00:08:38.32
when he bendeth his
bow to shoot his arrows,
00:08:38.36\00:08:41.11
let them be as cut in pieces.
00:08:41.14\00:08:43.96
As a snail which melteth,
let every one of them pass away:
00:08:43.99\00:08:49.16
like the untimely birth
of a woman, that they may not
00:08:49.19\00:08:52.50
see the sun.
00:08:52.54\00:08:53.54
Before your pots can feel the
thorns, he shall take them away
00:08:53.57\00:08:56.89
as with a whirlwind,
both living, and in his wrath.
00:08:56.92\00:08:59.99
The righteous shall rejoice
when he seeth the vengeance:
00:09:00.03\00:09:04.08
he shall wash his feet
in the blood of the wicked.
00:09:04.12\00:09:07.73
So that a man shall
say, Verily there is a reward
00:09:07.77\00:09:11.35
for the righteous: verily he is
a God that judgeth in the earth.
00:09:11.38\00:09:17.95
Continuing with Psalm 59.
00:09:17.99\00:09:20.75
This is the King James Version.
00:09:20.79\00:09:22.60
Deliver me from
mine enemies, O my God:
00:09:25.06\00:09:27.63
defend me from them
that rise up against me.
00:09:27.66\00:09:31.09
Deliver me from the
workers of iniquity,
00:09:31.12\00:09:34.51
and save me from bloody men.
00:09:34.55\00:09:36.79
For, lo, they lie
in wait for my soul:
00:09:36.83\00:09:40.67
the mighty are gathered against
me; not for my transgression,
00:09:40.71\00:09:45.73
nor for my sin, O Lord.
00:09:45.77\00:09:47.45
They run and prepare
themselves without my fault:
00:09:47.49\00:09:51.24
awake to help me, and behold.
00:09:51.27\00:09:55.34
Thou therefore, O Lord God
of hosts, the God of Israel,
00:09:55.37\00:09:59.39
awake to visit all the
heathen: be not merciful to any
00:09:59.43\00:10:03.41
wicked transgressors.
00:10:03.45\00:10:04.71
Selah.
00:10:04.74\00:10:05.71
They return at evening:
they make a noise like a dog,
00:10:05.72\00:10:09.22
and go round about the city.
00:10:09.26\00:10:11.32
Behold, they belch
out with their mouth:
00:10:11.35\00:10:13.79
swords are in their lips:
for who, say they, doth hear?
00:10:13.83\00:10:17.75
But thou, O Lord,
shall laugh at them;
00:10:17.78\00:10:22.02
thou shalt have all
the heathen in derision.
00:10:22.05\00:10:25.49
Because of his
strength will I wait upon thee:
00:10:25.52\00:10:28.92
for God is my defense.
00:10:28.96\00:10:31.73
The God of my
mercy shall prevent me:
00:10:31.76\00:10:35.73
God shall let me see my
desire upon mine enemies.
00:10:35.76\00:10:39.96
Slay them not,
lest my people forget:
00:10:40.00\00:10:43.23
scatter them by thy
power; and bring them down,
00:10:43.27\00:10:46.92
O Lord our shield.
00:10:46.96\00:10:47.98
For the sin of their mouth and
the words of their lips let them
00:10:48.01\00:10:51.65
even be taken in their
pride: and for cursing and lying
00:10:51.69\00:10:55.80
which they speak.
00:10:55.84\00:10:56.90
Consume them in
wrath, consume them,
00:10:56.93\00:10:59.66
that they may not be:
and let them know that God
00:10:59.69\00:11:02.95
ruleth in Jacob unto
the ends of the earth.
00:11:02.98\00:11:06.23
Selah.
00:11:06.27\00:11:07.24
And at evening let them return;
and let them make a noise like
00:11:07.25\00:11:11.63
a dog, and go
round about the city.
00:11:11.66\00:11:13.18
Let them wander up and down
for meat, and grudge if they
00:11:13.22\00:11:16.82
be not satisfied.
00:11:16.85\00:11:17.94
But I will sing of thy power;
yea, I will sing aloud of thy
00:11:17.97\00:11:23.60
mercy in the morning: for thou
hast been my defense and refuge
00:11:23.63\00:11:29.22
in the day of my trouble.
00:11:29.26\00:11:30.92
Unto thee, O my
strength, will I sing:
00:11:30.96\00:11:34.51
for God is my defense,
and the God of my mercy.
00:11:34.54\00:11:39.58
Reading now in Psalm 60.
00:11:39.61\00:11:43.22
This is the King James Version.
00:11:43.25\00:11:44.86
O God, thou hast cast us
off, thou hast scattered us,
00:11:44.90\00:11:50.13
thou hast been displeased;
O turn thyself to us again.
00:11:50.17\00:11:54.78
Thou hast made the earth to
tremble; thou hast broken it:
00:11:54.82\00:11:59.39
heal the breaches
thereof; for it shaketh.
00:11:59.43\00:12:03.03
Thou hast shown
thy people hard things:
00:12:03.07\00:12:06.60
thou hast made us to
drink the wine of astonishment.
00:12:06.63\00:12:10.04
Thou hast given a
banner to them that fear thee,
00:12:10.07\00:12:13.27
that it may be
displayed because of the truth.
00:12:13.30\00:12:16.46
Selah.
00:12:16.50\00:12:17.47
That thy beloved
may be delivered;
00:12:17.48\00:12:20.55
save with thy
right hand, and hear me.
00:12:20.59\00:12:23.77
God hath spoken in his
holiness; I will rejoice,
00:12:23.81\00:12:29.19
I will divide Shechem, and
mete out the valley of Succoth.
00:12:29.23\00:12:33.18
Gilead is mine,
and Manasseh is mine,
00:12:33.22\00:12:36.13
Ephraim also is the
strength of mine head;
00:12:36.17\00:12:40.01
Judah is my
lawgiver; Moab is my washpot;
00:12:40.04\00:12:43.84
over Edom will I
cast out my shoe:
00:12:43.88\00:12:47.39
Philistia, triumph
thou because of me.
00:12:47.43\00:12:50.83
Who will bring me
into the strong city?
00:12:50.86\00:12:54.22
Who will lead me into Edom?
00:12:54.26\00:12:56.46
Wilt not thou, O God,
which hadst cast us off?
00:12:56.50\00:13:00.56
and thou, O God, which didst
not go out with our armies?
00:13:00.59\00:13:04.99
Give us help from trouble:
for vain is the help of man.
00:13:05.03\00:13:10.22
Through God we shall do
valiantly: for he it is that
00:13:10.26\00:13:15.41
shall tread down our enemies.
00:13:15.45\00:13:17.94
Continuing with Psalm 61.
00:13:17.98\00:13:20.40
This is the King James Version.
00:13:20.44\00:13:21.73
Hear my cry, O God;
attend unto my prayer.
00:13:21.76\00:13:27.10
From the end of the
earth will I cry unto thee,
00:13:27.14\00:13:30.64
when my heart is
overwhelmed: lead me to the rock
00:13:30.68\00:13:34.15
that is higher than I.
00:13:34.18\00:13:35.81
For thou hast been a shelter
for me, and a strong tower
00:13:35.84\00:13:40.54
from the enemy.
00:13:40.58\00:13:41.55
I will abide in
thy tabernacle forever:
00:13:41.56\00:13:44.58
I will trust in the
covert of thy wings.
00:13:44.61\00:13:47.66
Selah.
00:13:47.69\00:13:48.66
For thou, O God,
hast heard my vows:
00:13:48.67\00:13:52.37
thou hast given me the heritage
of those that fear thy name.
00:13:52.41\00:13:55.92
Thou wilt
prolong the king's life:
00:13:55.96\00:13:58.61
and his years as
many generations.
00:13:58.65\00:14:01.35
He shall abide
before God forever:
00:14:01.38\00:14:04.01
O prepare mercy and
truth, which may preserve him.
00:14:04.05\00:14:07.29
So will I sing praise
unto thy name forever,
00:14:07.32\00:14:11.00
that I may
daily perform my vows.
00:14:11.04\00:14:15.03
Continuing with Psalm 62.
00:14:15.06\00:14:17.90
Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
00:14:17.94\00:14:25.22
He only is my rock and my
salvation; he is my defense;
00:14:25.25\00:14:31.16
I shall not be greatly moved.
00:14:31.19\00:14:34.12
Please join me again
next time to read the word
00:14:34.16\00:14:36.64
of God together.
00:14:36.67\00:14:37.64
Goodbye.
