00:00:50.85\00:00:54.62 O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah. 00:00:54.65\00:00:58.36 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, 00:00:58.39\00:01:02.16 which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, 00:01:02.19\00:01:05.93 and that a mighty voice. 00:01:05.96\00:01:07.51 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his excellency is over Israel, 00:01:07.54\00:01:13.56 and his strength is in the clouds. 00:01:13.59\00:01:15.81 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: 00:01:15.84\00:01:20.82 the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power 00:01:20.85\00:01:25.24 unto his people. 00:01:25.27\00:01:26.97 Blessed be God. 00:01:27.00\00:01:28.63 Continuing with Psalm 69. 00:01:28.66\00:01:31.08 This is the King James Version. 00:01:31.12\00:01:32.93 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. 00:01:32.97\00:01:37.90 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: 00:01:37.93\00:01:42.64 I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 00:01:42.68\00:01:47.60 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: 00:01:47.64\00:01:52.37 mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 00:01:52.41\00:01:55.34 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of 00:01:55.37\00:01:58.41 mine head: they that would destroy me, 00:01:58.45\00:02:01.69 being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: 00:02:01.73\00:02:05.12 then I restored that which I took not away. 00:02:05.15\00:02:08.51 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; 00:02:08.54\00:02:12.30 and my sins are not hid from thee. 00:02:12.34\00:02:16.03 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord God of hosts, 00:02:16.06\00:02:20.62 be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be 00:02:20.66\00:02:25.18 confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. 00:02:25.22\00:02:28.09 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; 00:02:28.13\00:02:30.97 shame hath covered my face. 00:02:31.00\00:02:33.50 I am become a stranger unto my brethren, 00:02:33.54\00:02:37.24 and an alien unto my mother's children. 00:02:37.28\00:02:40.92 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; 00:02:40.95\00:02:44.31 and the reproaches of them that reproached thee 00:02:44.34\00:02:47.67 are fallen upon me. 00:02:47.70\00:02:49.02 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, 00:02:49.06\00:02:53.36 that was to my reproach. 00:02:53.39\00:02:55.53 I made sackcloth also my garment; 00:02:55.56\00:02:57.72 and I became a proverb to them. 00:02:57.75\00:02:59.87 They that sit in the gate speak against me; 00:02:59.90\00:03:03.67 and I was the song of the drunkards. 00:03:03.71\00:03:06.76 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, 00:03:06.79\00:03:11.77 in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy 00:03:11.81\00:03:16.89 hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. 00:03:16.93\00:03:19.54 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: 00:03:19.58\00:03:22.79 let me be delivered from them that hate me, 00:03:22.83\00:03:26.51 and out of the deep waters. 00:03:26.55\00:03:28.34 Let not the waterflood overflow me, 00:03:28.38\00:03:30.54 neither let the deep swallow me up, 00:03:30.58\00:03:32.67 and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 00:03:32.71\00:03:35.30 Hear me, O Lord; for thy loving-kindness is good: 00:03:35.34\00:03:39.47 turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 00:03:39.50\00:03:44.31 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: 00:03:44.35\00:03:49.12 hear me speedily. 00:03:49.15\00:03:50.95 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: 00:03:50.98\00:03:54.10 deliver me because of mine enemies. 00:03:54.14\00:03:57.19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: 00:03:57.23\00:04:01.73 mine adversaries are all before thee. 00:04:01.76\00:04:04.52 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: 00:04:04.56\00:04:08.96 and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; 00:04:08.99\00:04:13.36 and for comforters, but I found none. 00:04:13.39\00:04:16.92 They gave me also gall for my meat; 00:04:16.95\00:04:20.40 and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 00:04:20.44\00:04:23.64 Let their table become a snare before them: 00:04:23.68\00:04:26.81 and that which should have been for their welfare, 00:04:26.84\00:04:29.30 let it become a trap. 00:04:29.34\00:04:30.94 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; 00:04:30.97\00:04:34.57 and make their loins continually to shake. 00:04:34.60\00:04:38.16 Pour out thine indignation upon them, 00:04:38.20\00:04:41.34 and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 00:04:41.37\00:04:43.89 Let their habitation be desolate; 00:04:43.93\00:04:46.22 and let none dwell in their tents. 00:04:46.25\00:04:48.47 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; 00:04:48.51\00:04:52.02 and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. 00:04:52.05\00:04:56.28 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come 00:04:56.32\00:05:00.51 into thy righteousness. 00:05:00.55\00:05:01.83 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, 00:05:01.87\00:05:04.50 and not be written with the righteous. 00:05:04.54\00:05:07.02 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, 00:05:07.06\00:05:13.07 set me up on high. 00:05:13.10\00:05:15.06 I will praise the name of God with a song, 00:05:15.10\00:05:18.03 and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 00:05:18.07\00:05:20.94 This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bullock 00:05:20.97\00:05:24.85 that hath horns and hoofs. 00:05:24.89\00:05:26.13 the humble shall see this, and be glad: 00:05:26.16\00:05:29.70 and your heart shall live that seek God. 00:05:29.73\00:05:33.20 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. 00:05:33.23\00:05:37.99 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, 00:05:38.03\00:05:41.68 and every thing that moveth therein. 00:05:41.72\00:05:43.55 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: 00:05:43.59\00:05:47.96 that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. 00:05:47.99\00:05:51.52 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: 00:05:51.55\00:05:55.62 and they that love his name shall dwell therein. 00:05:55.65\00:05:59.68 Continuing with Psalm 70. 00:05:59.72\00:06:02.75 This is the King James Version. 00:06:02.78\00:06:05.34 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; 00:06:05.37\00:06:07.90 make haste to help me, O Lord. 00:06:07.93\00:06:10.11 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after 00:06:10.14\00:06:14.04 my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, 00:06:14.07\00:06:18.08 that desire my hurt. 00:06:18.11\00:06:19.78 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, 00:06:19.81\00:06:23.72 Aha, aha. 00:06:23.76\00:06:25.21 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: 00:06:25.25\00:06:31.07 and let such as love thy salvation say continually, 00:06:31.10\00:06:36.40 Let God be magnified. 00:06:36.44\00:06:38.66 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: 00:06:38.70\00:06:43.94 thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, 00:06:43.97\00:06:48.67 make no tarrying. 00:06:48.70\00:06:50.75 Psalm 71. 00:06:50.78\00:06:53.51 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: 00:06:53.55\00:06:57.76 let me never be put to confusion. 00:06:57.80\00:07:01.94 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: 00:07:01.97\00:07:07.06 incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 00:07:07.09\00:07:10.52 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually 00:07:10.55\00:07:15.16 resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; 00:07:15.19\00:07:18.67 for thou art my rock and my fortress. 00:07:18.70\00:07:21.44 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, 00:07:21.47\00:07:24.95 out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 00:07:24.99\00:07:28.43 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: 00:07:28.46\00:07:31.26 thou art my trust from my youth. 00:07:31.29\00:07:34.01 By thee have I been held up from the womb: 00:07:34.05\00:07:37.12 thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: 00:07:37.15\00:07:41.58 my praise shall be continually of thee. 00:07:41.62\00:07:44.74 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge. 00:07:44.77\00:07:50.10 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honor 00:07:50.14\00:07:55.44 all the day. 00:07:55.47\00:07:56.44 Cast me not off in the time of old age; 00:07:56.45\00:07:59.97 forsake me not when my strength faileth. 00:08:00.01\00:08:03.54 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait 00:08:03.58\00:08:07.40 for my soul take counsel together, saying, 00:08:07.44\00:08:10.25 God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; 00:08:10.29\00:08:13.07 for there is none to deliver him. 00:08:13.10\00:08:14.62 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help. 00:08:14.66\00:08:19.70 Let them be confounded and consumed that are adversaries 00:08:19.73\00:08:24.13 to my soul; let them be covered with reproach and dishonor 00:08:24.16\00:08:28.52 that seek my hurt. 00:08:28.56\00:08:30.01 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee 00:08:30.05\00:08:35.37 more and more. 00:08:35.41\00:08:37.12 My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation 00:08:37.16\00:08:41.18 all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof. 00:08:41.22\00:08:44.38 I will go in the strength of the Lord God: 00:08:44.42\00:08:47.51 I will make mention of thy righteousness, 00:08:47.55\00:08:50.60 even of thine only. 00:08:50.64\00:08:52.57 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: 00:08:52.61\00:08:56.05 and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works. 00:08:56.08\00:09:00.30 Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, 00:09:00.34\00:09:04.48 forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength unto this 00:09:04.52\00:09:08.64 generation, and thy power to every one that is to come. 00:09:08.67\00:09:12.76 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, 00:09:12.79\00:09:15.48 who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! 00:09:15.52\00:09:20.00 Thou, which hast shown me great and sore troubles, 00:09:20.04\00:09:23.92 shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again 00:09:23.95\00:09:27.80 from the depths of the earth. 00:09:27.84\00:09:29.21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, 00:09:29.24\00:09:31.33 and comfort me on every side. 00:09:31.36\00:09:33.44 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, 00:09:33.48\00:09:37.66 O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, 00:09:37.69\00:09:40.37 O thou Holy One of Israel. 00:09:40.41\00:09:42.65 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; 00:09:42.69\00:09:47.00 and my soul, which thou hast redeemed. 00:09:47.04\00:09:50.63 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: 00:09:50.66\00:09:55.79 for thy are confounded, for they are brought unto shame, 00:09:55.83\00:09:59.49 that seek my hurt. 00:09:59.52\00:10:02.38 Psalm 72. 00:10:02.41\00:10:04.61 Give the king thy judgments, O God, 00:10:06.16\00:10:08.46 and thy righteousness unto the king's son. 00:10:08.50\00:10:11.23 He shall judge thy people with righteousness, 00:10:11.26\00:10:13.96 and thy poor with judgment. 00:10:13.99\00:10:15.45 the mountains shall bring peace to the people, 00:10:15.49\00:10:18.69 and the little hills, by righteousness. 00:10:18.73\00:10:20.94 He shall judge the poor of the people, 00:10:20.97\00:10:22.91 he shall save the children of the needy, 00:10:22.95\00:10:25.26 and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 00:10:25.30\00:10:27.54 They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, 00:10:27.58\00:10:32.31 throughout all generations. 00:10:32.35\00:10:33.74 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: 00:10:33.78\00:10:38.14 as showers that water the earth. 00:10:38.18\00:10:40.47 In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace 00:10:40.50\00:10:46.41 so long as the moon endureth. 00:10:46.44\00:10:48.61 He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, 00:10:48.64\00:10:51.36 and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 00:10:51.40\00:10:54.05 They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; 00:10:54.08\00:10:58.45 and his enemies shall lick the dust. 00:10:58.49\00:11:00.73 the kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: 00:11:00.76\00:11:05.36 the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 00:11:05.40\00:11:08.22 Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: 00:11:08.26\00:11:11.05 all nations shall serve him. 00:11:11.09\00:11:13.37 For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, 00:11:13.40\00:11:18.42 and him that hath no helper. 00:11:18.46\00:11:20.36 He shall spare the poor and needy, 00:11:20.39\00:11:22.77 and shall save the souls of the needy. 00:11:22.81\00:11:25.12 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: 00:11:25.15\00:11:28.52 and precious shall their blood be in his sight. 00:11:28.55\00:11:32.93 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold 00:11:32.96\00:11:37.62 of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; 00:11:37.65\00:11:42.28 and daily shall he be praised. 00:11:42.31\00:11:45.33 There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top 00:11:45.37\00:11:48.50 of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake 00:11:48.54\00:11:51.09 like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass 00:11:51.12\00:11:54.98 of the earth. 00:11:55.02\00:11:55.99 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued 00:11:56.00\00:11:59.99 as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: 00:12:00.02\00:12:02.35 all nations shall call him blessed. 00:12:02.38\00:12:05.95 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, 00:12:05.99\00:12:09.09 who only doeth wondrous things. 00:12:09.13\00:12:11.80 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: 00:12:11.83\00:12:14.82 and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; 00:12:14.86\00:12:18.12 Amen, and Amen. 00:12:18.15\00:12:20.81 the prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. 00:12:20.84\00:12:25.34 Psalm 73, and this is the King James Version. 00:12:26.32\00:12:31.28 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are 00:12:31.32\00:12:36.25 of a clean heart. 00:12:36.28\00:12:37.37 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; 00:12:37.40\00:12:40.96 my steps had well-nigh slipped. 00:12:40.99\00:12:43.50 For I was envious at the foolish, 00:12:43.54\00:12:45.98 when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 00:12:46.02\00:12:48.23 For there are no bands in their death: 00:12:48.27\00:12:50.45 but their strength is firm. 00:12:50.49\00:12:51.78 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued 00:12:51.82\00:12:55.38 like other men. 00:12:55.41\00:12:56.38 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; 00:12:56.39\00:13:00.75 violence covereth them as a garment. 00:13:00.78\00:13:03.72 Their eyes stand out with fatness: 00:13:03.76\00:13:06.54 they have more than heart could wish. 00:13:06.57\00:13:09.29 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: 00:13:09.32\00:13:13.12 they speak loftily. 00:13:13.16\00:13:14.38 they set their mouth against the heavens, 00:13:14.41\00:13:16.62 and their tongue walketh through the earth. 00:13:16.66\00:13:18.83 Therefore his people return hither: 00:13:18.87\00:13:21.21 and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them. 00:13:21.24\00:13:23.92 And they say, How doth God know? 00:13:23.95\00:13:26.52 and is there knowledge in the most High? 00:13:26.55\00:13:28.66 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; 00:13:28.70\00:13:33.76 they increase in riches. 00:13:33.79\00:13:35.65 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, 00:13:35.68\00:13:38.53 and washed my hands in innocency. 00:13:38.57\00:13:40.74 For all the day long have I been plagued, 00:13:40.77\00:13:43.08 and chastened every morning. 00:13:43.12\00:13:44.70 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against 00:13:44.74\00:13:50.44 the generation of thy children. 00:13:50.48\00:13:52.03 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 00:13:52.06\00:13:56.28 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; 00:13:56.32\00:14:00.44 then understood I their end. 00:14:00.47\00:14:03.36 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: 00:14:03.40\00:14:07.05 thou castedst them down into destruction. 00:14:07.09\00:14:10.27 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! 00:14:10.31\00:14:13.84 they are utterly consumed with terrors. 00:14:13.87\00:14:17.25 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, 00:14:17.28\00:14:22.69 thou shalt despise their image. 00:14:22.73\00:14:25.05 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 00:14:25.08\00:14:29.77 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. 00:14:29.81\00:14:33.78 Please join me again next time to continue reading in Psalms. 00:14:33.81\00:14:37.75 Goodbye. 00:14:37.79\00:14:38.76
