Hello, and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:13.88\00:00:16.05
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank
you for joining with me to read
00:00:16.08\00:00:18.82
the word of God today.
00:00:18.85\00:00:19.88
Let's pray
together before we start.
00:00:19.91\00:00:21.95
Dear Heavenly Father,
thank You for love to us.
00:00:21.99\00:00:25.38
Thank You for Your
mercy and for Your grace.
00:00:25.41\00:00:28.94
And thank You for
giving us strength and power
00:00:28.97\00:00:32.46
through Your word.
00:00:32.50\00:00:34.04
Please be with
us now as we read.
00:00:34.07\00:00:36.06
Help us to listen, and then
may it bear fruit in our lives.
00:00:36.09\00:00:39.68
We love You, and
thank You for loving us.
00:00:39.72\00:00:41.51
Amen.
00:00:41.55\00:00:42.52
We're reading in the
book of Psalms, chapter 68,
00:00:42.53\00:00:46.73
picking up with verse 32, and
this is the King James Version.
00:00:46.77\00:00:50.81
Sing unto God, ye
kingdoms of the earth;
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.
