Hello and welcome to
"His words are life."
00:00:16.11\00:00:18.02
I am Kelly Mowrer and today we
00:00:18.03\00:00:19.44
are reading together
in the book of Psalms.
00:00:19.45\00:00:21.17
Before we start, let's pray.
00:00:21.18\00:00:23.01
Oh, heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:23.98\00:00:26.02
for your word
which is a light to our
00:00:26.60\00:00:28.62
path and is bread
for our nourishment
00:00:28.63\00:00:32.63
and is a hedge of
protection around us.
00:00:32.64\00:00:36.10
Please help us to
hear these words and apply
00:00:36.11\00:00:40.48
them in the ways
that you have for each
00:00:40.49\00:00:42.64
of us who are
listening right now.
00:00:42.65\00:00:44.33
We love you so much and
00:00:45.06\00:00:46.03
thank you for loving us, amen.
00:00:46.04\00:00:48.08
We're reading
in Psalm chapter 84
00:00:49.35\00:00:51.62
beginning with verse
9, this is the King James
00:00:51.63\00:00:53.82
Version. Behold,
O God our shield,
00:00:53.83\00:00:58.28
and look upon the
face of thine anointed.
00:00:58.29\00:01:00.81
For a day in
thy courts is better
00:01:01.48\00:01:03.54
than a thousand.
I had rather be a
00:01:03.55\00:01:05.76
doorkeeper in
the house of my God,
00:01:05.77\00:01:07.76
than to dwell in
the tents of wickedness.
00:01:08.11\00:01:10.20
For the Lord God
is a sun and shield:
00:01:10.89\00:01:13.42
the Lord will
give grace and glory:
00:01:13.94\00:01:15.79
no good thing will
he withhold from them
00:01:16.27\00:01:20.18
that walk
uprightly. O Lord of hosts,
00:01:20.48\00:01:23.75
blessed is the man
who trusteth in thee.
00:01:24.27\00:01:27.35
Psalms 85. This is
the King James Version.
00:01:28.73\00:01:31.23
Lord, thou hast been
favourable unto thy land:
00:01:32.23\00:01:34.91
thou hast brought back
the captivity of Jacob.
00:01:34.92\00:01:37.44
Thou hast forgiven the
iniquity of thy people,
00:01:38.23\00:01:40.64
thou hast covered
all their sin. Selah.
00:01:41.23\00:01:44.53
Thou hast taken
away all thy wrath:
00:01:45.46\00:01:47.66
thou hast turned
thyself from the fierceness
00:01:48.38\00:01:50.72
of thine anger. Turn
us, O God of our salvation,
00:01:50.73\00:01:54.88
and cause thine
anger toward us to cease.
00:01:55.34\00:01:58.01
Wilt thou be
angry with us forever?
00:01:59.55\00:02:01.13
Wilt thou draw out thine
anger to all generations?
00:02:01.94\00:02:05.33
Wilt thou not revive us again:
00:02:06.55\00:02:08.70
that thy people
may rejoice in thee?
00:02:09.28\00:02:11.32
Show us thy
mercy, O Lord, and grant
00:02:11.97\00:02:14.30
us thy salvation.
I will hear what God
00:02:14.31\00:02:18.42
the Lord will
speak: for he will speak
00:02:18.43\00:02:21.42
peace unto his
people, and to his saints:
00:02:21.43\00:02:24.05
but let them not
turn again to folly.
00:02:24.98\00:02:27.55
Surely his salvation is
nigh them that fear him;
00:02:28.68\00:02:32.23
that glory may
dwell in our land.
00:02:32.88\00:02:35.25
Mercy and truth
are met together;
00:02:36.09\00:02:39.01
righteousness and
peace have kissed each other.
00:02:39.84\00:02:43.58
Truth shall
spring out of the earth;
00:02:44.33\00:02:46.50
and righteousness
shall look down from heaven.
00:02:46.51\00:02:49.09
Yea, the Lord shall
give that which is good;
00:02:49.48\00:02:53.24
and our land shall
yield her increase.
00:02:53.25\00:02:55.57
Righteousness
shall go before him;
00:02:56.23\00:02:57.79
and shall set us in
the way of his steps.
00:02:57.80\00:03:01.35
Psalm 86. This is
the King James Version.
00:03:02.28\00:03:04.42
Bow down thine
ear, O Lord, hear me:
00:03:06.79\00:03:09.51
for I am poor and
needy. Preserve my soul;
00:03:10.11\00:03:14.54
for I am holy: O thou my God,
00:03:14.55\00:03:18.04
save thy servant
that trusteth in thee.
00:03:18.05\00:03:20.92
Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
00:03:22.44\00:03:24.97
for I cry unto thee daily.
00:03:24.98\00:03:27.16
Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
00:03:28.37\00:03:30.51
for unto thee, O
Lord, do I lift up my soul.
00:03:30.52\00:03:34.08
For thou Lord, art
good, and ready to forgive;
00:03:34.90\00:03:37.38
and plenteous in
mercy unto all them that
00:03:37.39\00:03:41.17
call upon thee.
Give ear, O Lord,
00:03:41.18\00:03:45.24
unto my prayer;
and attend to the
00:03:45.25\00:03:47.76
voice of my supplications.
00:03:47.77\00:03:49.79
In the day of my
trouble I will call upon thee:
00:03:50.77\00:03:53.68
for thou wilt answer
me. Among the gods there
00:03:54.35\00:03:57.86
is none like unto thee, O Lord;
00:03:57.87\00:03:59.82
neither are there any works like
00:03:59.83\00:04:02.03
unto thy works. All nations whom
00:04:02.04\00:04:05.18
thou hast made
shall come and worship
00:04:05.19\00:04:07.35
before thee, O
Lord; and shall glorify
00:04:07.36\00:04:09.06
thy name. For thou art great,
00:04:09.07\00:04:11.44
and doest wondrous things:
00:04:11.78\00:04:13.62
thou art God
alone. Teach me thy way,
00:04:14.13\00:04:19.25
O Lord; I will
walk in thy truth:
00:04:19.26\00:04:22.21
unite my heart to fear thy name.
00:04:22.79\00:04:26.09
I will praise
thee, O Lord my God,
00:04:26.67\00:04:28.87
with all my
heart: and I will glorify
00:04:28.88\00:04:30.97
thy name for
evermore. For great is thy mercy
00:04:30.98\00:04:35.35
toward me: and thou hast
00:04:35.36\00:04:37.53
delivered my soul
from the lowest hell.
00:04:37.54\00:04:39.93
O God, the proud
are risen against me,
00:04:40.99\00:04:43.31
and the assemblies
of violent men have
00:04:43.82\00:04:45.92
sought after my
soul; and have not set thee
00:04:45.93\00:04:48.29
before them. But thou, O Lord,
00:04:48.30\00:04:52.22
art a God full of compassion,
00:04:52.95\00:04:55.63
and gracious,
long suffering, and
00:04:55.98\00:04:59.10
plenteous in mercy and truth.
00:04:59.11\00:05:01.34
O turn unto me,
and have mercy upon me;
00:05:01.35\00:05:04.93
give thy
strength unto thy servant,
00:05:05.76\00:05:07.97
and save the son
of thine handmaid.
00:05:08.42\00:05:10.60
Show me a token for
good; that they which hate
00:05:11.60\00:05:15.01
me may see it, and be ashamed:
00:05:15.02\00:05:17.35
because thou,
Lord, hast holpen me,
00:05:17.36\00:05:20.68
and comforted me. Psalm 87.
00:05:21.05\00:05:24.14
His foundation is
in the holy mountains.
00:05:26.11\00:05:29.31
The Lord loveth
the gates of Zion
00:05:29.83\00:05:31.24
more than all the
dwellings of Jacob.
00:05:31.25\00:05:33.32
Glorious things
are spoken of thee,
00:05:34.31\00:05:36.58
O city of God.
Selah. I will make mention
00:05:36.59\00:05:41.30
of Rahab and Babylon
to them that know me:
00:05:41.31\00:05:44.30
behold Philistia,
and Tyre, with Ethiopia;
00:05:45.07\00:05:48.41
this man was born there.
00:05:48.71\00:05:49.95
And of Zion it shall be said,
00:05:50.87\00:05:53.05
This and that
man was born in her:
00:05:53.33\00:05:55.17
and the highest
himself shall establish her.
00:05:55.18\00:05:57.79
The Lord shall
count, when he writeth
00:05:58.97\00:06:01.09
up the people, that this man was
00:06:01.10\00:06:03.61
born there. Selah.
As well the singers as
00:06:03.62\00:06:07.93
the players on instruments
00:06:07.94\00:06:09.54
shall be there: all
my springs are in thee.
00:06:09.55\00:06:13.73
Psalm 88. This is
the King James Version.
00:06:14.94\00:06:17.30
O Lord God of my salvation,
00:06:19.39\00:06:21.24
I have cried day
and night before thee:
00:06:22.23\00:06:24.70
Let my prayer come before thee:
00:06:25.60\00:06:27.09
incline thine ear unto my cry;
00:06:27.10\00:06:29.72
For my soul is full of troubles:
00:06:30.70\00:06:32.63
and my life draweth
nigh unto the grave.
00:06:33.46\00:06:36.71
I am counted
with them that go down
00:06:37.69\00:06:39.31
into the pit: I am as a man that
00:06:39.32\00:06:42.52
hath no strength:
Free among the dead,
00:06:42.53\00:06:45.10
like the slain
that lie in the grave,
00:06:45.11\00:06:47.10
whom thou rememberest no more:
00:06:47.68\00:06:49.42
and they are cut
off from thy hand.
00:06:49.43\00:06:51.46
Thou hast laid me
in the lowest pit,
00:06:52.47\00:06:54.47
in darkness, in the deeps.
00:06:54.48\00:06:56.65
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me,
00:06:57.83\00:06:59.75
and thou hast
afflicted me with all thy waves.
00:06:59.76\00:07:02.55
Selah. Thou hast put
away mine acquaintance
00:07:02.56\00:07:05.69
far from me; thou hast made me
00:07:05.70\00:07:08.26
an abomination
unto them: I am shut up,
00:07:08.27\00:07:12.23
and I cannot come
forth. Mine eye mourneth by
00:07:12.24\00:07:16.00
reason of
affliction: Lord, I have called
00:07:16.01\00:07:19.07
daily upon
thee, I have stretched
00:07:19.08\00:07:20.75
out my hands unto
thee. Wilt thou show wonders
00:07:20.76\00:07:23.77
to the dead?
Shall the dead arise
00:07:23.78\00:07:25.72
and praise thee? Selah.
Shall thy lovingkindness
00:07:25.73\00:07:29.91
be declared in the
grave? Or thy faithfulness
00:07:29.92\00:07:32.28
in destruction?
Shall thy wonders
00:07:32.29\00:07:34.69
be known in the
dark? And thy righteousness
00:07:34.70\00:07:36.68
in the land of forgetfulness?
00:07:36.69\00:07:38.26
But unto thee
have I cried, O Lord;
00:07:39.51\00:07:41.61
and in the morning
shall my prayer prevent thee.
00:07:42.91\00:07:46.27
Lord, why
castest thou off my soul?
00:07:46.92\00:07:50.44
Why hidest thou
thy face from me?
00:07:51.19\00:07:53.53
I am afflicted and
ready to die from my
00:07:54.11\00:07:56.47
youth up: while I suffer thy
00:07:56.48\00:07:58.87
terrors I am distracted.
Thy fierce wrath goeth
00:07:58.88\00:08:02.41
over me; thy
terrors have cut me off.
00:08:02.42\00:08:04.59
They came round
about me daily like water;
00:08:05.26\00:08:07.35
they compassed
me about together.
00:08:07.36\00:08:09.03
Lover and friend
hast thou put far from me,
00:08:09.92\00:08:12.70
and mine acquaintance
into darkness. Psalm 89.
00:08:13.45\00:08:18.45
This is the King James Version.
00:08:18.46\00:08:19.95
I will sing of the
mercies of the Lord forever:
00:08:21.70\00:08:24.58
with my mouth
will I make known thy
00:08:25.63\00:08:27.79
faithfulness to all generations.
00:08:27.80\00:08:30.20
For I have said, Mercy shall be
00:08:31.00\00:08:32.81
built up for ever:
thy faithfulness shalt
00:08:32.82\00:08:35.62
thou establish
in the very heavens.
00:08:35.63\00:08:37.69
I have made a
covenant with my chosen,
00:08:38.56\00:08:40.21
I have sworn
unto David my servant,
00:08:40.22\00:08:42.12
Thy seed will I
establish forever,
00:08:42.13\00:08:44.45
and build up thy
throne to all generations.
00:08:44.46\00:08:46.96
Selah. And the
heavens shall praise
00:08:47.54\00:08:50.58
thy wonders, O
Lord: thy faithfulness
00:08:50.59\00:08:53.06
also in the
congregation of the saints.
00:08:53.07\00:08:55.27
For who in the
heaven can be compared
00:08:56.19\00:08:58.18
unto the Lord?
Who among the sons
00:08:58.19\00:09:00.80
of the mighty can be
likened unto the Lord?
00:09:00.81\00:09:03.10
God is greatly
to be feared in the
00:09:04.55\00:09:06.05
assembly of the
saints, and to be had in
00:09:06.06\00:09:08.54
reverence of all
them that are about him.
00:09:08.55\00:09:11.59
O Lord God of
hosts, who is a strong Lord
00:09:12.53\00:09:15.95
like unto thee? Or
to thy faithfulness
00:09:15.96\00:09:18.98
around about thee?
Thou rulest the raging
00:09:18.99\00:09:21.85
of the sea: when
the waves thereof arise,
00:09:21.86\00:09:25.36
thou stillest
them. Thou hast broken
00:09:26.20\00:09:29.31
Rahab in pieces,
as one that is slain;
00:09:29.32\00:09:32.32
thou hast
scattered thine enemies
00:09:33.13\00:09:35.30
with thy strong arm.
The heavens are thine,
00:09:35.31\00:09:39.14
the earth also is
thine: as for the world
00:09:39.15\00:09:43.40
and the fulness
thereof, thou hast founded
00:09:43.41\00:09:46.06
them. The north
and the south thou hast
00:09:46.07\00:09:49.44
created them: Tabor and Hermon
00:09:49.45\00:09:53.20
shall rejoice in thy name.
00:09:53.21\00:09:55.00
Thou hast a mighty
arm: strong is thy hand,
00:09:56.33\00:09:59.14
and high is thy right hand.
00:09:59.15\00:10:00.79
Justice and
judgment are the habitation
00:10:01.31\00:10:04.09
of thy throne:
mercy and truth shall
00:10:04.10\00:10:07.63
go before thy face.
Blessed is the people
00:10:07.64\00:10:11.36
that know the joyful
sound: they shall walk,
00:10:11.37\00:10:14.56
O Lord, in the
light of thy countenance.
00:10:14.57\00:10:16.88
In thy name shall
they rejoice all the day:
00:10:17.64\00:10:20.39
and in thy righteousness
shall they be exalted.
00:10:21.24\00:10:24.02
For thou art the
glory of their strength:
00:10:24.84\00:10:27.40
and in thy favor our
horn shall be exalted.
00:10:28.14\00:10:31.51
For the Lord is our defense;
00:10:31.52\00:10:33.84
and the Holy One
of Israel is our king.
00:10:34.56\00:10:37.04
Then thou spakest in
vision to thy holy one,
00:10:38.28\00:10:41.11
and saidst, I have laid help
00:10:41.12\00:10:43.43
upon one that is
mighty; I have exalted one
00:10:43.44\00:10:46.81
chosen out of the
people. I have found David
00:10:46.82\00:10:49.66
my servant; with my holy oil
00:10:49.67\00:10:52.48
have I anointed
him: With whom my hand
00:10:52.49\00:10:55.82
shall be
established: mine arm also shall
00:10:55.83\00:10:59.30
strengthen him.
The enemy shall not
00:10:59.31\00:11:02.12
exact upon him; nor the son of
00:11:02.13\00:11:05.02
wickedness afflict
him. And I will beat down
00:11:05.03\00:11:08.67
his foes before his
face, and plague them
00:11:08.68\00:11:11.79
that hate him.
But my faithfulness
00:11:11.80\00:11:15.21
and my mercy shall be with him:
00:11:15.22\00:11:17.59
and in my name
shall his horn be exalted.
00:11:18.60\00:11:22.01
I will set his
hand also in the sea,
00:11:23.16\00:11:25.51
and his right
hand in the rivers.
00:11:25.52\00:11:27.20
He shall cry unto
me, Thou art my father,
00:11:27.53\00:11:30.35
my God, and the
rock of my salvation.
00:11:30.36\00:11:32.82
Also I will make
him my firstborn,
00:11:33.91\00:11:37.60
higher than the
Kings of the earth.
00:11:38.30\00:11:39.94
My mercy will I keep
for him for evermore,
00:11:41.00\00:11:44.19
and my covenant
shall stand fast with him.
00:11:44.68\00:11:47.27
His seed also will I
make to endure for ever,
00:11:48.30\00:11:51.31
and his throne as
the days of heaven.
00:11:51.32\00:11:53.58
If his children forsake my law,
00:11:54.89\00:11:56.84
and walk not in my judgments;
00:11:57.07\00:11:59.08
If they break my statutes,
00:11:59.09\00:12:01.01
and keep not my commandments;
00:12:01.02\00:12:02.83
Then will I visit
their transgression
00:12:03.96\00:12:05.59
with the rod, and
their iniquity with stripes.
00:12:05.60\00:12:08.01
Nevertheless my
loving kindness will I not
00:12:08.74\00:12:12.46
utterly take from
him, nor suffer my
00:12:12.47\00:12:15.83
faithfulness to
fail. My covenant
00:12:15.84\00:12:19.47
will I not break,
nor alter the thing
00:12:19.48\00:12:22.55
that is gone out of my lips.
00:12:22.56\00:12:24.52
Once have I sworn by my holiness
00:12:25.06\00:12:27.69
that I will not lie unto David.
00:12:27.70\00:12:30.04
His seed shall endure for ever,
00:12:30.62\00:12:32.35
and his throne as
the sun before me.
00:12:32.36\00:12:35.07
It shall be established
for ever as the moon,
00:12:35.82\00:12:38.08
and as a faithful
witness in heaven. Selah.
00:12:38.09\00:12:41.28
But thou hast
cast off and abhorred,
00:12:42.93\00:12:45.01
thou hast been
wroth with thine anointed.
00:12:45.02\00:12:47.10
Thou hast made void the covenant
00:12:47.11\00:12:48.98
of thy servant:
thou hast profaned
00:12:48.99\00:12:50.48
his crown by
casting it to the ground.
00:12:50.49\00:12:52.82
Thou hast broken
down all his hedges;
00:12:53.41\00:12:55.01
thou hast brought
his strongholds to ruin.
00:12:55.02\00:12:57.33
All that pass by
the way spoil him:
00:12:57.34\00:13:00.46
he is a reproach
to his neighbors.
00:13:00.76\00:13:02.71
Thou hast set up
the right hand of
00:13:03.38\00:13:04.63
his adversaries;
thou hast made all
00:13:04.64\00:13:06.16
his enemies to
rejoice. Thou hast also turned
00:13:06.17\00:13:08.71
the edge of his
sword, and hast not made him
00:13:08.72\00:13:10.53
to stand in the
battle. Thou hast made his
00:13:10.54\00:13:13.30
glory to cease,
and cast his throne
00:13:13.31\00:13:15.35
down to the ground.
The days of his youth
00:13:15.36\00:13:18.10
hast thou
shortened: thou hast covered
00:13:18.64\00:13:20.95
him with shame.
Selah. How long, Lord?
00:13:20.96\00:13:24.74
Wilt thou hide thyself forever?
00:13:25.77\00:13:27.22
Shall thy wrath burn like fire?
00:13:28.14\00:13:30.35
Remember how short my time is:
00:13:31.51\00:13:33.07
wherefore hast thou
made all men in vain?
00:13:33.34\00:13:35.33
What man is he that liveth,
00:13:36.03\00:13:37.34
and shall not see death?
Shall he deliver his soul
00:13:37.35\00:13:39.46
from the hand of
the grave? Selah. Lord,
00:13:39.47\00:13:43.63
where are thy
former lovingkindnesses,
00:13:43.64\00:13:46.13
which thou swarest
unto David in thy truth?
00:13:46.14\00:13:48.69
Remember, Lord, the reproach
00:13:50.14\00:13:52.05
of thy servants;
how I do bear in my
00:13:52.06\00:13:55.28
bosom the reproach of
all the mighty people;
00:13:55.29\00:13:58.18
Wherewith thine
enemies have reproached,
00:13:58.79\00:14:00.33
O Lord; wherewith
they have reproached
00:14:00.34\00:14:02.73
the footsteps of thine anointed.
00:14:02.74\00:14:04.44
Blessed be the
Lord for evermore.
00:14:05.63\00:14:07.39
Amen, and Amen. Psalm 90. Lord,
00:14:07.93\00:14:14.54
thou hast been
our dwelling place
00:14:15.16\00:14:17.31
in all generations.
Before the mountains
00:14:17.32\00:14:20.70
were brought
forth, or ever thou hadst
00:14:20.71\00:14:22.74
formed the earth and the world,
00:14:22.75\00:14:24.01
even from
everlasting to everlasting,
00:14:24.35\00:14:27.21
thou art God. Thou turnest man
00:14:27.22\00:14:29.84
to destruction;
and sayest, Return,
00:14:29.85\00:14:31.82
ye children of men.
For a thousand years
00:14:31.83\00:14:33.85
in thy sight
are but as yesterday
00:14:33.86\00:14:35.61
when it is past, and
as a watch in the night.
00:14:35.62\00:14:39.38
