Hello and welcome back to "His words are life." 00:00:16.16\00:00:18.22 I am Kelly Mowrer and today we're reading 00:00:18.23\00:00:20.10 together from the book of Psalms. 00:00:20.11\00:00:21.77 Let's pray before we begin. 00:00:22.16\00:00:23.53 Dear Father, please forgive us 00:00:25.27\00:00:27.58 when we have not praised you as we should, 00:00:27.59\00:00:31.09 please teach us to be more thankful, 00:00:32.26\00:00:35.24 please fill our hearts to overflowing 00:00:36.27\00:00:38.57 with the awareness of the abundance of 00:00:39.48\00:00:42.39 your blessings to us. Be with us now as we 00:00:42.40\00:00:45.04 hear your word, thank you for loving 00:00:45.05\00:00:47.14 us and we love you, amen. 00:00:47.15\00:00:48.73 I'm reading from Psalm 98 starting with 00:00:49.90\00:00:52.11 verse 5 and this is the King James Version. 00:00:52.12\00:00:54.94 Sing unto the Lord with the harp; 00:00:56.30\00:00:58.99 with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 00:00:59.61\00:01:01.40 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a 00:01:02.20\00:01:04.76 joyful noise before the Lord, the King. 00:01:04.77\00:01:06.86 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; 00:01:08.00\00:01:09.85 the world, and they that dwell therein. 00:01:09.86\00:01:12.55 Let the floods clap their hands: 00:01:12.56\00:01:14.85 let the hills be joyful together before 00:01:14.86\00:01:17.73 the Lord; for He cometh to judge the earth: 00:01:17.74\00:01:20.78 with righteousness shall he judge the world, 00:01:21.44\00:01:23.71 and the people with equity. 00:01:23.72\00:01:25.84 Psalm 99 this is the King James Version. 00:01:26.80\00:01:29.01 The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: 00:01:29.97\00:01:32.60 he sitteth between the cherubim; 00:01:33.64\00:01:34.99 let the earth be moved. 00:01:35.00\00:01:36.56 The Lord is great in Zion; 00:01:37.31\00:01:39.38 and he is high above all the people. 00:01:39.73\00:01:41.75 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; 00:01:42.72\00:01:45.92 for it is holy. The king's strength 00:01:46.74\00:01:50.07 also loveth judgment; thou dost establish 00:01:50.32\00:01:53.92 equity, thou executest judgment and 00:01:53.93\00:01:56.57 righteousness in Jacob. Exalt ye the Lord 00:01:56.58\00:02:00.58 our God, and worship at his footstool; 00:02:00.59\00:02:03.65 for he is holy. Moses and Aaron 00:02:04.07\00:02:07.28 among his priests, and Samuel among 00:02:07.29\00:02:09.89 them that call upon his name; 00:02:09.90\00:02:11.41 they called upon the Lord, 00:02:11.42\00:02:12.73 and he answered them. He spake unto them 00:02:13.38\00:02:16.22 in the cloudy pillar: they kept his 00:02:16.23\00:02:19.19 testimonies, and the ordinance 00:02:19.20\00:02:20.95 that he gave them. Thou answeredst them, 00:02:21.28\00:02:24.16 O Lord our God: thou wast a God that 00:02:24.17\00:02:27.21 forgavest them, though thou tookest 00:02:27.22\00:02:29.85 vengeance of their inventions. 00:02:29.86\00:02:32.18 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his 00:02:33.14\00:02:36.02 holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy. 00:02:36.03\00:02:40.27 Psalm 100 and this is the King James Version. 00:02:41.80\00:02:44.56 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, 00:02:45.40\00:02:47.35 all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: 00:02:47.36\00:02:50.66 come before his presence with singing. 00:02:51.09\00:02:53.71 Know ye that the Lord he is God: 00:02:54.47\00:02:57.31 it is he that hath made us, 00:02:57.81\00:02:59.35 and not we ourselves; we are his people, 00:02:59.36\00:03:02.77 and the sheep of his pasture. 00:03:03.22\00:03:04.92 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, 00:03:05.75\00:03:08.07 and into his courts with praise: 00:03:08.08\00:03:10.10 be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 00:03:10.48\00:03:13.64 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; 00:03:14.59\00:03:18.07 and his truth endureth to all generations. 00:03:19.06\00:03:22.88 Psalm 101, I will sing of mercy and judgment: 00:03:24.22\00:03:29.44 unto thee, O Lord, will I sing. 00:03:30.23\00:03:32.36 I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. 00:03:33.35\00:03:36.66 O when wilt thou come unto me? 00:03:37.66\00:03:39.53 I will walk within my house with a 00:03:40.16\00:03:41.90 perfect heart. I will set no wicked 00:03:41.91\00:03:44.62 thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them 00:03:44.63\00:03:48.60 that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 00:03:48.61\00:03:51.23 A forward heart shall depart from me: 00:03:52.36\00:03:54.62 I will not know a wicked person. 00:03:55.44\00:03:57.37 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, 00:03:58.34\00:04:00.41 him will I cut off: him that hath an 00:04:00.97\00:04:04.80 high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 00:04:04.81\00:04:09.43 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful 00:04:10.59\00:04:12.67 of the land, that they may dwell with me: 00:04:12.68\00:04:15.30 he that walketh in a perfect way, 00:04:16.08\00:04:17.51 he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit 00:04:18.31\00:04:21.27 shall not dwell within my house: 00:04:21.28\00:04:23.03 he that telleth lies shall not tarry 00:04:24.02\00:04:26.84 in my sight. I will early destroy 00:04:26.85\00:04:29.90 all the wicked of the land; 00:04:29.91\00:04:31.07 that I may cut off all wicked doers from 00:04:31.50\00:04:34.10 the city of the Lord. Psalm 102, 00:04:34.11\00:04:38.59 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my cry 00:04:41.17\00:04:45.15 come unto thee. Hide not thy face 00:04:45.48\00:04:48.85 from me in the day when I am in trouble; 00:04:48.86\00:04:51.25 incline thine ear unto me: 00:04:52.37\00:04:53.69 in the day when I call answer me speedily. 00:04:53.70\00:04:56.24 For my days are consumed like smoke, 00:04:57.16\00:04:59.44 and my bones are burned as an hearth. 00:04:59.45\00:05:01.88 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; 00:05:02.40\00:05:04.89 so that I forget to eat my bread. 00:05:05.50\00:05:07.03 By reason of the voice of my groaning my 00:05:08.28\00:05:10.49 bones cleave to my skin. I am like a pelican of 00:05:10.50\00:05:13.75 the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. 00:05:13.76\00:05:17.26 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon 00:05:18.28\00:05:21.60 the house top. Mine enemies reproach 00:05:21.61\00:05:24.22 me all the day; and they that are 00:05:24.23\00:05:26.20 mad against me are sworn against me. 00:05:26.21\00:05:28.49 For I have eaten ashes like bread, 00:05:29.01\00:05:30.58 and mingled my drink with weeping. 00:05:30.59\00:05:33.53 Because of thine indignation 00:05:34.25\00:05:35.38 and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, 00:05:35.39\00:05:37.38 and cast me down. My days are like a 00:05:38.26\00:05:41.49 shadow that declineth; and I am withered 00:05:41.50\00:05:44.50 like grass. But thou, O Lord, 00:05:44.51\00:05:48.67 shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance 00:05:49.35\00:05:52.08 unto all generations. Thou shalt arise, 00:05:52.09\00:05:55.70 and have mercy upon Zion: 00:05:55.71\00:05:57.45 for the time to favor her, yea, the set time, 00:05:57.98\00:06:01.33 is come. For thy servants take pleasure 00:06:01.68\00:06:04.87 in her stones, and favor the dust thereof. 00:06:04.88\00:06:07.48 So the heathen shall fear the name 00:06:08.28\00:06:10.11 of the Lord, and all the kings of the 00:06:10.12\00:06:12.13 earth thy glory. When the Lord 00:06:12.14\00:06:15.35 shall build up Zion, he shall appear in 00:06:15.36\00:06:17.64 his glory. He will regard the prayer 00:06:17.65\00:06:20.73 of the destitute, and not despise 00:06:20.74\00:06:22.61 their prayer. This shall be written 00:06:22.62\00:06:25.57 for the generation to come: 00:06:25.58\00:06:27.12 and the people which shall be created 00:06:27.50\00:06:29.60 shall praise the Lord. For he hath looked 00:06:30.02\00:06:32.76 down from the height of his sanctuary; 00:06:32.77\00:06:35.11 from heaven did the Lord behold the earth; 00:06:35.99\00:06:38.88 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; 00:06:39.34\00:06:41.21 to loose those that are appointed to death; 00:06:41.79\00:06:44.81 To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, 00:06:45.36\00:06:47.98 and his praise in Jerusalem; 00:06:47.99\00:06:49.89 When the people are gathered together, 00:06:50.71\00:06:52.03 and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord. 00:06:52.62\00:06:54.52 He weakened my strength in the way; 00:06:55.82\00:06:57.93 he shortened my days. I said, O my God, 00:06:57.98\00:07:02.00 take me not away in the midst of my days: 00:07:02.01\00:07:04.37 thy years are throughout all generations. 00:07:04.38\00:07:06.75 Of old hast thou laid the foundation 00:07:07.37\00:07:09.07 of the earth: and the heavens 00:07:09.08\00:07:10.38 are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, 00:07:10.79\00:07:14.03 but thou shalt endure: yea, 00:07:14.04\00:07:16.57 all of them shall wax old like a garment; 00:07:16.58\00:07:18.50 as a vesture shalt thou change them, 00:07:19.11\00:07:20.89 and they shall be changed: 00:07:20.90\00:07:22.47 But thou art the same, and thy years shal l 00:07:23.25\00:07:26.74 have no end. The children of thy 00:07:26.75\00:07:29.75 servants shall continue, and their seed shall be 00:07:29.76\00:07:32.64 established before thee. Psalm 103, 00:07:32.65\00:07:36.46 this is the King James Version. 00:07:36.47\00:07:38.27 Bless the Lord, O my soul: 00:07:39.31\00:07:40.84 and all that is within me, 00:07:40.85\00:07:42.82 bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, 00:07:43.45\00:07:47.14 O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 00:07:47.15\00:07:51.66 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; 00:07:52.57\00:07:54.82 who healeth all thy diseases; 00:07:55.41\00:07:57.46 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; 00:07:57.98\00:08:00.57 who crowneth thee with loving kindness 00:08:01.26\00:08:03.21 and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy 00:08:03.22\00:08:07.08 mouth with good things; so that thy youth is 00:08:07.09\00:08:10.22 renewed like the eagle's. 00:08:10.23\00:08:12.33 The Lord executeth righteousness 00:08:13.55\00:08:15.87 and judgment for all that are oppressed. 00:08:15.88\00:08:19.21 He made known his ways unto Moses, 00:08:20.04\00:08:22.24 his acts unto the children of Israel. 00:08:22.89\00:08:25.46 The Lord is merciful and gracious, 00:08:26.57\00:08:29.20 slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 00:08:30.00\00:08:33.37 He will not always chide: 00:08:34.03\00:08:35.36 neither will he keep his anger for ever. 00:08:35.37\00:08:37.19 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; 00:08:38.09\00:08:41.20 nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. 00:08:41.58\00:08:43.80 For as the heaven is high above the earth, 00:08:45.10\00:08:47.66 so great is his mercy toward them 00:08:48.30\00:08:51.41 that fear him. As far as the east 00:08:51.42\00:08:54.76 is from the west, so far hath he removed 00:08:55.00\00:08:58.39 our transgressions from us. 00:08:58.40\00:09:00.11 Like as a father pitieth his children, 00:09:01.29\00:09:04.17 so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 00:09:04.98\00:09:07.73 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that 00:09:08.92\00:09:12.48 we are dust. As for man, 00:09:12.49\00:09:15.42 his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, 00:09:15.43\00:09:18.78 so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth 00:09:19.15\00:09:21.93 over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof 00:09:21.94\00:09:25.44 shall know it no more. But the mercy of the 00:09:25.53\00:09:29.12 Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon 00:09:29.13\00:09:32.58 them that fear him, and his righteousness 00:09:32.59\00:09:35.66 unto children's children; 00:09:36.05\00:09:37.82 To such as keep his covenant, 00:09:38.78\00:09:39.97 and to those that remember his 00:09:39.98\00:09:41.00 commandments to do them. 00:09:41.01\00:09:42.44 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the 00:09:43.44\00:09:45.20 heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. 00:09:45.21\00:09:48.38 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, 00:09:49.48\00:09:51.83 that excel in strength, that do his commandments, 00:09:51.84\00:09:55.28 hearkening unto the voice of his word. 00:09:55.55\00:09:58.07 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; 00:09:59.04\00:10:02.16 ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. 00:10:02.51\00:10:05.43 Bless the Lord, all his works in all 00:10:06.79\00:10:09.90 places of his dominion: bless the Lord, 00:10:09.91\00:10:12.93 O my soul. Psalm 104, Bless the Lord, 00:10:12.94\00:10:17.95 O my soul. O Lord my God, 00:10:17.96\00:10:21.28 thou art very great; thou art clothed with 00:10:21.29\00:10:24.17 honour and majesty. Who coverest 00:10:24.18\00:10:27.73 thyself with light as with a garment: 00:10:27.74\00:10:30.11 who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 00:10:30.58\00:10:33.64 Who layeth the beams of his chambers 00:10:34.34\00:10:36.14 in the waters: who maketh the clouds 00:10:36.15\00:10:38.19 his chariot: who walketh upon 00:10:38.20\00:10:40.75 the wings of the wind: Who maketh his 00:10:40.76\00:10:43.44 angels spirits; his ministers 00:10:43.45\00:10:46.25 a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations 00:10:46.26\00:10:49.61 of the earth, that it should not be 00:10:49.62\00:10:51.43 removed for ever. Thou coveredst it 00:10:51.44\00:10:55.01 with the deep as with a garment: 00:10:55.18\00:10:57.20 the waters stood above the mountains. 00:10:58.19\00:11:00.42 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy 00:11:01.65\00:11:05.32 thunder they hasted away. 00:11:05.33\00:11:07.75 They go up by the mountains; 00:11:09.04\00:11:10.46 they go down by the valleys unto 00:11:10.65\00:11:12.38 the place which thou hast founded for them. 00:11:12.39\00:11:14.94 Thou hast set a bound that they may 00:11:15.91\00:11:18.11 not pass over; that they turn not 00:11:18.12\00:11:21.15 again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs 00:11:21.16\00:11:25.52 into the valleys, which run among the hills. 00:11:25.53\00:11:27.94 They give drink to every beast of the field: 00:11:28.25\00:11:30.35 the wild asses quench their thirst. 00:11:30.78\00:11:32.77 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have 00:11:33.50\00:11:35.41 their habitation, which sing among the 00:11:35.42\00:11:37.03 branches. He watereth the hills 00:11:37.04\00:11:39.95 from his chambers: the earth is satisfied 00:11:39.96\00:11:43.48 with the fruit of thy works. 00:11:43.49\00:11:45.21 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, 00:11:46.36\00:11:48.87 and herb for the service of man: 00:11:48.88\00:11:51.41 that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 00:11:52.05\00:11:54.19 And wine that maketh glad the 00:11:55.09\00:11:56.91 heart of man, and oil to make his 00:11:56.92\00:11:59.29 face to shine, and bread which 00:11:59.30\00:12:01.44 strengtheneth man's heart. 00:12:01.45\00:12:02.89 The trees of the Lord are full of sap; 00:12:04.11\00:12:06.51 the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 00:12:06.94\00:12:08.91 Where the birds make their nests: 00:12:08.92\00:12:10.62 as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 00:12:11.32\00:12:13.90 The high hills are a refuge 00:12:14.99\00:12:16.29 for the wild goats; and the rocks for 00:12:16.30\00:12:18.67 the conies. He appointed the 00:12:18.68\00:12:21.24 moon for seasons: the sun knoweth 00:12:21.25\00:12:24.53 his going down. Thou makest darkness, 00:12:24.80\00:12:27.87 and it is night: wherein all the 00:12:28.52\00:12:31.07 beasts of the forest do creep forth. 00:12:31.08\00:12:33.22 The young lions roar after their prey, 00:12:33.86\00:12:36.04 and seek their meat from God. 00:12:36.05\00:12:37.82 The sun ariseth, they gather 00:12:39.56\00:12:41.36 themselves together, and lay them down in 00:12:41.37\00:12:43.36 their dens. Man goeth forth 00:12:43.37\00:12:45.93 unto his work and to his labor until 00:12:45.94\00:12:48.87 the evening. O Lord, how manifold are thy 00:12:48.88\00:12:52.88 works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: 00:12:52.89\00:12:55.99 the earth is full of thy riches. 00:12:56.45\00:12:58.05 So is this great and wide sea, 00:12:58.64\00:13:00.96 wherein are things creeping innumerable, 00:13:01.28\00:13:04.26 both small and great beasts. 00:13:04.55\00:13:06.81 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, 00:13:07.91\00:13:11.32 whom thou hast made to play therein. 00:13:11.33\00:13:13.62 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest 00:13:14.79\00:13:17.94 give them their meat in due season. 00:13:17.95\00:13:19.99 That thou givest them they gather: 00:13:20.68\00:13:22.51 thou openest thine hand, 00:13:22.52\00:13:24.14 they are filled with good. 00:13:24.78\00:13:26.28 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: 00:13:27.24\00:13:29.03 thou takest away their breath, they die, 00:13:29.63\00:13:32.02 and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth 00:13:32.79\00:13:35.98 thy spirit, they are created: 00:13:35.99\00:13:37.78 and thou renewest the face of the earth. 00:13:38.55\00:13:40.54 The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: 00:13:41.48\00:13:44.36 the Lord shall rejoice in his works. 00:13:44.91\00:13:46.91 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: 00:13:47.28\00:13:48.85 he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 00:13:48.86\00:13:50.77 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: 00:13:51.95\00:13:54.88 I will sing praise to my God while I have 00:13:55.64\00:13:58.25 my being. My meditation of 00:13:58.26\00:14:00.76 him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. 00:14:00.77\00:14:04.13 Let the sinners be consumed 00:14:05.10\00:14:06.37 out of the earth, and let the wicked be 00:14:06.38\00:14:07.50 no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. 00:14:07.51\00:14:10.96 Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 105, 00:14:11.46\00:14:15.99 O give thanks unto the Lord; 00:14:17.41\00:14:20.14 call upon his name: make known his deeds 00:14:20.73\00:14:23.85 among the people. Sing unto him, 00:14:23.86\00:14:26.02 sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his 00:14:26.27\00:14:30.37 wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: 00:14:30.38\00:14:34.20 let the heart of them 00:14:34.71\00:14:35.68 rejoice that seek the Lord. 00:14:35.69\00:14:38.34
