Hello and welcome
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:14.62\00:00:16.70
I am Kelly Mower, and thank you
00:00:16.71\00:00:18.46
for joining
with me today to read
00:00:18.47\00:00:20.28
the word of God together.
00:00:20.29\00:00:21.26
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:21.27\00:00:22.66
Dear heavenly Father,
00:00:22.67\00:00:24.79
thank you for an
opportunity to sit
00:00:24.80\00:00:27.83
and listen to your words.
00:00:27.84\00:00:29.64
Please may the
Holy Spirit bring them
00:00:29.65\00:00:33.40
to our hearts in a new way,
00:00:33.41\00:00:35.84
and show us a
fresh look at your love
00:00:35.85\00:00:38.64
for us, and
your greatness to us.
00:00:38.65\00:00:40.99
May we worship you and look into
00:00:41.00\00:00:43.53
your face during this time,
00:00:43.54\00:00:44.95
we love you, amen.
00:00:44.96\00:00:46.56
We're reading in
Psalm chapter 116
00:00:46.57\00:00:51.69
starting with verse 17,
00:00:51.70\00:00:54.03
this is the King James Version.
00:00:54.04\00:00:55.86
I will offer to thee,
00:00:55.87\00:00:58.56
the sacrifice of thanksgiving
00:00:58.57\00:01:00.83
and we will call upon the name
00:01:00.84\00:01:03.00
of the Lord. I will pay my
00:01:03.01\00:01:05.46
vows unto the Lord
now in the presence
00:01:05.47\00:01:08.51
of all His people in
the courts of Lord's house,
00:01:08.52\00:01:11.47
in the midst of
thee, O Jerusalem.
00:01:11.48\00:01:13.91
Praise ye the Lord.
00:01:13.92\00:01:16.01
Psalm 117: O praise the Lord,
00:01:16.02\00:01:19.93
all ye nations: praise him,
00:01:19.94\00:01:22.16
all ye people. For
his merciful kindness
00:01:22.17\00:01:24.93
is great toward us:
00:01:24.94\00:01:26.41
and the truth of
the Lord endureth
00:01:26.42\00:01:29.01
for ever. Praise ye the Lord.
00:01:29.02\00:01:31.25
Psalm 118: O gives thanks unto
00:01:31.26\00:01:36.15
the Lord; for he is good:
00:01:36.16\00:01:37.80
because his mercy
endureth for ever.
00:01:37.81\00:01:40.43
Let Israel now say,
that his mercy endureth
00:01:40.44\00:01:43.60
for ever. Let the
house of Aaron now say,
00:01:43.61\00:01:46.05
that his mercy
endureth for ever.
00:01:46.06\00:01:48.08
Let them now that
fear the Lord say,
00:01:48.09\00:01:50.50
that his mercy
endureth for ever.
00:01:50.51\00:01:53.54
I called upon
the Lord in distress:
00:01:53.55\00:01:57.06
the Lord answered me,
00:01:57.07\00:01:58.62
and set me in a large place.
00:01:58.63\00:02:01.82
The Lord is on my side;
00:02:01.83\00:02:04.14
I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?
00:02:04.15\00:02:07.97
The Lord taketh
my part with them
00:02:07.98\00:02:10.72
that help me:
therefore shall I see
00:02:10.73\00:02:12.87
my desire upon
them that hate me.
00:02:12.88\00:02:15.50
It is better to trust
in the Lord than to put
00:02:15.51\00:02:19.99
confidence in man.
It is better to trust
00:02:20.00\00:02:23.17
in the Lord than to
put confidence in princes.
00:02:23.18\00:02:25.55
All nations compassed me about:
00:02:25.56\00:02:28.63
but in the name of the
Lord will I destroy them.
00:02:28.64\00:02:31.26
They compassed me about;
00:02:31.27\00:02:33.29
yea, they compassed me about:
00:02:33.30\00:02:34.72
but in the name of the Lord,
00:02:34.73\00:02:36.80
I will destroy them.
They compassed me about
00:02:36.81\00:02:40.78
like bees: they are quenched
00:02:40.79\00:02:43.38
as the fire of thorns:
00:02:43.39\00:02:44.73
for in the name of the
Lord I will destroy them.
00:02:44.74\00:02:48.28
Thou hast thrust sore at me that
00:02:48.29\00:02:52.20
I might fall: but
the Lord helped me.
00:02:52.21\00:02:54.94
The Lord is my
strength and song,
00:02:54.95\00:02:58.89
and has become my salvation.
00:02:58.90\00:03:01.12
The voice of
rejoicing and salvation
00:03:01.13\00:03:04.08
is in the
tabernacles of the righteous:
00:03:04.09\00:03:05.91
the right hand of
the Lord doeth valiantly.
00:03:05.92\00:03:08.18
The right hand of
the Lord is exalted:
00:03:08.19\00:03:10.67
the right hand of
the Lord doeth valiantly.
00:03:10.68\00:03:13.01
I shall not die, but live,
00:03:13.02\00:03:15.95
and declare the
works of the Lord.
00:03:15.96\00:03:18.43
The Lord hath chastened me sore:
00:03:18.44\00:03:21.75
but he hath not
given me over unto death.
00:03:21.76\00:03:24.94
Open to me the
gates of righteousness:
00:03:24.95\00:03:28.13
I will go into them,
and I will praise the Lord:
00:03:28.14\00:03:31.28
This gate of the Lord,
into which the righteous
00:03:31.29\00:03:34.39
shall enter. I will praise thee:
00:03:34.40\00:03:35.75
for thou hast heard me,
00:03:35.76\00:03:37.47
and art become my salvation.
00:03:37.48\00:03:39.57
The stone which the
builders refused is become
00:03:39.58\00:03:44.77
the head stone of the corner.
00:03:44.78\00:03:46.56
This is the Lord's doing;
00:03:46.57\00:03:48.83
it is marvelous in our eyes.
00:03:48.84\00:03:51.07
This is the day
which the Lord hath made;
00:03:51.08\00:03:55.92
we will rejoice
and be glad in it.
00:03:55.93\00:03:59.22
Save now, I beseech thee,
00:03:59.23\00:04:02.41
O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee,
00:04:02.42\00:04:05.32
send now prosperity.
00:04:05.33\00:04:07.50
Blessed be he that cometh
00:04:07.51\00:04:10.28
in the name of the Lord:
00:04:10.29\00:04:11.26
we have blessed you out of the
00:04:11.27\00:04:13.12
house of the
Lord. God is the Lord,
00:04:13.13\00:04:16.60
which hath showed us light:
00:04:16.61\00:04:18.06
bind the sacrifice with cords,
00:04:18.07\00:04:20.75
even unto the
horns of the altar.
00:04:20.76\00:04:22.66
Thou art my God
and I will praise thee:
00:04:22.67\00:04:26.73
thou art my God,
I will exalt thee.
00:04:26.74\00:04:30.19
O gives thanks unto the Lord;
00:04:30.20\00:04:33.24
for he is good: for his
mercy endureth for ever.
00:04:33.25\00:04:38.88
Psalm 119: Blessed are
the undefiled in the way,
00:04:38.89\00:04:47.34
who walk in the law of the Lord.
00:04:47.35\00:04:50.18
Blessed are they
that keep his testimonies,
00:04:50.19\00:04:53.49
and that seek him
with the whole heart.
00:04:53.50\00:04:56.02
They also do no
iniquity: they walk in his ways.
00:04:56.03\00:05:00.05
Thou hast commanded
us to keep thy precepts
00:05:00.06\00:05:04.01
diligently. O that
my ways were directed
00:05:04.02\00:05:08.64
to keep thy statutes!
Then shall I not be ashamed,
00:05:08.65\00:05:12.39
when I have respect
unto all thy commandments.
00:05:12.40\00:05:14.70
I will praise thee
with uprightness of heart,
00:05:14.71\00:05:17.60
when I shall have
learned thy righteous judgments.
00:05:17.61\00:05:20.66
I will keep thy statutes:
00:05:20.67\00:05:22.98
O forsakes me not utterly.
00:05:22.99\00:05:25.22
Wherewithal shall a
young man cleanse his way?
00:05:25.23\00:05:29.50
By taking heed
thereto according to thy word.
00:05:29.51\00:05:34.30
With my whole
heart have I sought thee:
00:05:34.31\00:05:37.05
O let me not wander
from thy commandments?
00:05:37.06\00:05:40.06
Thy word have I
hid in mine heart,
00:05:40.07\00:05:43.34
that I might not
sin against thee.
00:05:43.35\00:05:45.96
Blessed art thou, O
Lord: teach me thy statutes.
00:05:45.97\00:05:50.73
With my lips have I
declared all the judgments
00:05:50.74\00:05:54.09
of thy mouth. I have rejoiced
00:05:54.10\00:05:55.68
in the way of thy testimonies,
00:05:55.69\00:05:56.89
as much as in all riches.
00:05:56.90\00:05:58.45
I will meditate in thy precepts,
00:05:58.46\00:06:00.84
and have respect unto thy ways.
00:06:00.85\00:06:03.21
I will delight
myself in thy statutes:
00:06:03.22\00:06:05.94
I will not forget thy word.
00:06:05.95\00:06:08.55
Deal bountifully
with thy servant,
00:06:08.56\00:06:11.58
that I may live,
and keep thy word.
00:06:11.59\00:06:14.09
Open thou mine eyes,
that I may behold wondrous
00:06:14.10\00:06:18.30
things out of thy law.
00:06:18.31\00:06:19.76
I am a stranger in the earth:
00:06:19.77\00:06:22.28
hide not thy
commandments from me.
00:06:22.29\00:06:24.79
My soul breaketh for the longing
00:06:24.80\00:06:27.70
that it hath unto thy
judgments at all times.
00:06:27.71\00:06:29.93
Thou hast rebuked the
proud that are cursed,
00:06:29.94\00:06:33.52
which do err
from thy commandments.
00:06:33.53\00:06:35.23
Remove from me
reproach and contempt;
00:06:35.24\00:06:38.50
for I have kept thy testimonies.
00:06:38.51\00:06:40.01
Princes also did sit
and speak against me:
00:06:40.02\00:06:44.03
but thy servant did
meditate in thy statutes.
00:06:44.04\00:06:47.59
Thy testimonies
also are my delight
00:06:47.60\00:06:51.20
My soul cleaveth unto the dust:
00:06:51.21\00:06:55.17
quicken thou me
according to thy word.
00:06:55.18\00:06:57.80
I have declared my ways,
00:06:57.81\00:07:00.17
and thou heardest me:
00:07:00.18\00:07:01.15
teach me thy statutes.
00:07:01.16\00:07:02.74
Make me to understand the way of
00:07:02.75\00:07:06.21
thy precepts: so
shall I talk of thy wondrous
00:07:06.22\00:07:09.35
works. My soul
melteth for heaviness:
00:07:09.36\00:07:13.97
strengthen thou me
according unto thy word.
00:07:13.98\00:07:18.00
Remove from me the way of lying:
00:07:18.01\00:07:21.98
and grant me thy law graciously.
00:07:21.99\00:07:25.51
I have chosen the way of truth:
00:07:25.52\00:07:27.95
thy judgments
have I laid before me.
00:07:27.96\00:07:31.42
I have stuck
unto thy testimonies:
00:07:31.43\00:07:34.18
O Lord, put me not to shame.
00:07:34.19\00:07:35.96
I will run the way
of thy commandments,
00:07:35.97\00:07:38.56
when thou shalt
enlarge my heart.
00:07:38.57\00:07:41.08
Teach me, O Lord,
the way of thy statutes;
00:07:41.09\00:07:44.50
and I shall
keep it unto the end.
00:07:44.51\00:07:46.59
Give me understanding,
00:07:46.60\00:07:48.66
and I shall keep thy law;
00:07:48.67\00:07:49.84
yea, I shall observe
it with my whole heart.
00:07:49.85\00:07:52.87
Make me to go in the
path of thy commandments;
00:07:52.88\00:07:56.54
for therein do I delight.
00:07:56.55\00:07:58.63
Incline my heart
unto thy testimonies,
00:07:58.64\00:08:02.49
and not to covetousness.
00:08:02.50\00:08:04.06
Turn away mine eyes
from beholding vanity;
00:08:04.07\00:08:07.39
and quicken thou me in thy way.
00:08:07.40\00:08:09.82
Stablish thy
word unto thy servant,
00:08:09.83\00:08:13.66
who is devoted to thy fear.
00:08:13.67\00:08:15.22
Turn away my
reproach which I fear:
00:08:15.23\00:08:18.36
for thy judgments are good.
00:08:18.37\00:08:20.16
Behold, I have
longed after thy precepts:
00:08:20.17\00:08:23.27
quicken me in thy righteousness.
00:08:23.28\00:08:25.87
Let thy mercies come
also unto me, O Lord,
00:08:25.88\00:08:29.81
even thy salvation,
according to thy word.
00:08:29.82\00:08:32.34
So shall I have
wherewith to answer him
00:08:32.35\00:08:35.79
that reproacheth me:
for I trust in thy word.
00:08:35.80\00:08:39.01
And take not the
word of truth utterly out
00:08:39.02\00:08:42.07
of my mouth; for I
have hoped in thy judgments.
00:08:42.08\00:08:44.18
So shall I keep
thy law continually
00:08:44.19\00:08:47.00
for ever and ever.
00:08:47.01\00:08:48.92
And I will walk at liberty:
00:08:48.93\00:08:52.05
for I seek thy precepts.
00:08:52.06\00:08:53.92
I will speak of thy testimonies
00:08:53.93\00:08:56.33
also before kings,
and will not be ashamed.
00:08:56.34\00:08:58.71
And I will delight
myself in thy commandments,
00:08:58.72\00:09:01.78
which I have loved.
00:09:01.79\00:09:02.93
My hands also will I
lift up unto thy commandments,
00:09:02.94\00:09:06.24
which I have loved;
00:09:06.25\00:09:07.22
and I will
meditate in thy statutes.
00:09:07.23\00:09:09.04
Remember the
word unto thy servant,
00:09:09.05\00:09:11.98
upon which thou
hast caused me to hope.
00:09:11.99\00:09:15.38
This is my
comfort in my affliction:
00:09:15.93\00:09:18.30
for thy word hath quickened me.
00:09:18.31\00:09:20.68
The proud have had
me greatly in derision:
00:09:20.69\00:09:25.05
yet have I not
declined from thy law.
00:09:25.06\00:09:28.64
I remembered thy
judgments of old,
00:09:28.65\00:09:31.39
O Lord; and have
comforted myself.
00:09:31.40\00:09:34.03
Horror hath taken hold upon me
00:09:34.04\00:09:37.31
because of the
wicked that forsake thy law.
00:09:37.32\00:09:39.64
Thy statutes have been my songs
00:09:39.65\00:09:42.73
in the house of my pilgrimage.
00:09:42.74\00:09:44.98
I have remembered thy name,
00:09:44.99\00:09:46.71
O Lord, in the night,
and have kept thy law.
00:09:46.72\00:09:49.42
This I had, because
I kept thy precepts.
00:09:49.43\00:09:52.97
Thou art my portion, O Lord:
00:09:52.98\00:09:56.06
I have said that I
would keep thy words.
00:09:56.07\00:09:59.35
I intreated thy
favour with my whole heart:
00:09:59.36\00:10:03.15
be merciful unto me
according to thy word.
00:10:03.16\00:10:06.38
I thought on my
ways, and turned my feet
00:10:06.39\00:10:10.27
unto thy
testimonies. I made haste,
00:10:10.28\00:10:12.83
and delayed not to
keep thy commandments.
00:10:12.84\00:10:15.20
The bands of the
wicked have robbed me:
00:10:15.21\00:10:17.77
but I have not
forgotten thy law.
00:10:17.78\00:10:19.28
At midnight I will
rise to give thanks unto
00:10:19.29\00:10:22.93
thee because of thy
righteous judgments.
00:10:22.94\00:10:24.65
I am a companion of
all them that fear thee,
00:10:24.66\00:10:28.74
and of them that
keep thy precepts.
00:10:28.75\00:10:30.98
The earth, O Lord,
is full of thy mercy:
00:10:30.99\00:10:35.29
teach me thy
statutes. Thou hast dealt well
00:10:35.30\00:10:39.43
with thy servant, O Lord,
00:10:39.44\00:10:40.48
according unto thy word.
00:10:40.49\00:10:41.46
Teach me good
judgment and knowledge:
00:10:41.47\00:10:45.38
for I have
believed thy commandments.
00:10:45.39\00:10:47.97
Before I was
afflicted I went astray:
00:10:47.98\00:10:51.99
but now have I kept thy word.
00:10:52.00\00:10:54.55
Thou art good, and doest good;
00:10:54.56\00:10:57.87
teach me thy statutes.
00:10:57.88\00:10:59.66
The proud have
forged a lie against me:
00:10:59.67\00:11:03.64
but I will keep thy
precepts with my whole heart.
00:11:03.65\00:11:06.64
Their heart is as fat as grease;
00:11:06.65\00:11:10.00
but I delight in thy law.
00:11:10.01\00:11:12.58
It is good for me
that I have been afflicted;
00:11:12.59\00:11:15.73
that I might learn thy statutes.
00:11:15.74\00:11:17.45
The law of thy
mouth is better unto me
00:11:17.46\00:11:20.75
than thousands
of gold and silver.
00:11:20.76\00:11:23.86
Thy hands have made
me and fashioned me:
00:11:23.87\00:11:27.71
give me understanding,
00:11:27.72\00:11:29.88
that I may learn
thy commandments.
00:11:29.89\00:11:32.35
They that fear thee will
be glad when they see me;
00:11:32.36\00:11:36.36
because I have
hoped in thy word.
00:11:36.37\00:11:38.88
I know, O Lord, that
thy judgments are right,
00:11:38.89\00:11:42.67
and that thou
in faithfulness has
00:11:42.68\00:11:46.29
afflicted me. Let, I pray thee,
00:11:46.30\00:11:49.25
thy merciful
kindness be for my comfort,
00:11:49.26\00:11:52.63
according to thy
word unto thy servant.
00:11:52.64\00:11:55.97
Let thy tender
mercies come unto me,
00:11:55.98\00:11:58.37
that I may live: for
thy law is my delight.
00:11:58.38\00:12:02.15
Let the proud be ashamed;
00:12:02.16\00:12:05.27
for they dealt perversely
with me without a cause:
00:12:05.28\00:12:07.76
but I will
meditate in thy precepts.
00:12:07.77\00:12:10.86
Let those that
fear thee turn unto me,
00:12:10.87\00:12:13.63
and those that have
known thy testimonies.
00:12:13.64\00:12:15.35
Let my heart be
sound in thy statutes;
00:12:15.36\00:12:18.79
that I be not ashamed.
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.99
My soul fainteth
for thy salvation:
00:12:21.00\00:12:24.25
but I hope in thy word.
00:12:24.26\00:12:26.58
Mine eyes fail
for thy word, saying,
00:12:26.59\00:12:29.52
When wilt thou comfort me?
00:12:29.53\00:12:32.04
For I am become like
a bottle in the smoke;
00:12:32.05\00:12:35.64
yet do I not
forget thy statutes.
00:12:35.65\00:12:39.02
How many are the
days of thy servant?
00:12:39.03\00:12:42.04
When wilt thou
execute judgment on them
00:12:42.05\00:12:44.92
that persecute me?
00:12:44.93\00:12:46.04
The proud have
digged pits for me,
00:12:46.05\00:12:48.47
which are not after thy law.
00:12:48.48\00:12:49.74
All thy
commandments are faithful:
00:12:49.75\00:12:51.67
they persecute me
wrongfully; help thou me.
00:12:51.68\00:12:54.65
They had almost
consumed me upon earth;
00:12:54.66\00:12:58.20
but I forsook not thy precepts.
00:12:58.21\00:13:00.43
Quicken me after
thy lovingkindness;
00:13:00.44\00:13:03.36
so shall I keep the
testimony of thy mouth.
00:13:03.37\00:13:06.99
For ever, O Lord,
thy word is settled
00:13:07.00\00:13:10.91
in heaven. Thy
faithfulness is unto
00:13:10.92\00:13:13.60
all generations:
thou hast established
00:13:13.61\00:13:16.01
the earth, and it abideth.
00:13:16.02\00:13:18.27
They continue this day
according to thine ordinances:
00:13:18.28\00:13:21.30
for all are thy servants.
00:13:21.31\00:13:23.47
Unless thy law
had been my delights,
00:13:23.48\00:13:26.72
I should then have
perished in mine affliction.
00:13:26.73\00:13:29.73
I will never
forget thy precepts:
00:13:29.74\00:13:32.74
for with them
thou hast quickened me.
00:13:32.75\00:13:35.04
I am thine, save me: for
I have sought thy precepts.
00:13:35.05\00:13:40.95
The wicked have
waited for me to destroy me:
00:13:40.96\00:13:43.82
but I will
consider thy testimonies.
00:13:43.83\00:13:45.98
I have seen an
end of all perfection:
00:13:45.99\00:13:48.85
but thy
commandment is exceeding broad.
00:13:48.86\00:13:52.75
O how love I thy law!
00:13:52.76\00:13:56.76
It is my meditation all the day.
00:13:56.77\00:13:59.01
Thou through thy
commandments hast made
00:13:59.02\00:14:01.97
me wiser than mine enemies:
00:14:01.98\00:14:03.80
for they are ever with me.
00:14:03.81\00:14:05.11
I have more understanding
than all my teachers:
00:14:05.12\00:14:08.28
for thy
testimonies are my meditation.
00:14:08.29\00:14:11.24
I understand more
than the ancients,
00:14:11.25\00:14:13.52
because I keep thy precepts.
00:14:13.53\00:14:15.12
I have refrained my
feet from every evil way,
00:14:15.13\00:14:18.66
that I might keep thy word.
00:14:18.67\00:14:19.97
I have not
departed from thy judgments:
00:14:19.98\00:14:22.63
for thou hast taught me.
00:14:22.64\00:14:24.75
How sweet are thy
words unto my taste!
00:14:24.76\00:14:28.70
Yea, sweeter than
honey to my mouth!
00:14:28.71\00:14:32.01
Through thy
precepts I get understanding:
00:14:32.02\00:14:36.28
therefore I
hate every false way.
00:14:36.29\00:14:40.36
