Hello and welcome back
to "His Words Are Life".
00:00:15.22\00:00:17.25
I am Kelly Mower
and thank you for
00:00:17.26\00:00:19.13
joining with me today
to read the Bible together.
00:00:19.14\00:00:21.42
In all of the reading
that we have done so far,
00:00:21.94\00:00:25.05
so many times as
we've began, we've prayed
00:00:25.06\00:00:28.35
and we've spoken
about how the word of God
00:00:28.78\00:00:31.05
is a guide to us
is a lamp on our path
00:00:31.06\00:00:34.53
and we use that
version of Bible and that's
00:00:34.93\00:00:36.90
what we are going
to open with today
00:00:36.91\00:00:38.36
is the verse that we
have prayed so many times.
00:00:38.37\00:00:40.46
Let's talk to God again
before we start reading.
00:00:40.97\00:00:43.68
Oh heavenly Father,
thank you for your word.
00:00:44.55\00:00:47.14
Please be with us
now as we read it.
00:00:48.08\00:00:49.97
We love you so much,
thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:00:49.98\00:00:53.59
Psalm 119: verse
105: Thy word is a lamp
00:00:55.54\00:01:01.50
unto my feet, and
a light unto my path.
00:01:01.51\00:01:04.85
I have sworn, and
I will perform it,
00:01:06.15\00:01:08.13
that I will keep
thy righteous judgments.
00:01:08.51\00:01:10.29
I am afflicted
very much: quicken me,
00:01:11.23\00:01:14.36
O Lord, according unto thy word.
00:01:14.37\00:01:16.83
Accept, I beseech
thee, the freewill offerings
00:01:17.79\00:01:21.29
of my mouth, O Lord,
and teach me thy judgments.
00:01:21.30\00:01:24.11
My soul is continually
in my hand: yet do I not
00:01:25.00\00:01:28.90
forget thy law.
The wicked have laid
00:01:28.91\00:01:32.11
a snare for me:
yet I erred not from
00:01:32.12\00:01:34.79
thy precepts.
Thy testimonies have
00:01:34.80\00:01:37.73
I taken as an heritage for ever:
00:01:37.74\00:01:40.02
for they are the
rejoicing of my heart.
00:01:40.69\00:01:42.60
I have inclined
mine heart to perform
00:01:43.46\00:01:46.16
thy statutes
alway, even unto the end.
00:01:46.17\00:01:49.65
I hate vain thoughts:
but thy law do I love.
00:01:51.06\00:01:55.24
Thou art my hiding
place and my shield:
00:01:56.14\00:01:59.82
I hope in thy
word. Depart from me,
00:02:00.65\00:02:05.12
ye evildoers: for I
will keep the commandments
00:02:05.13\00:02:09.02
of my God. Uphold me
according unto thy word,
00:02:09.03\00:02:13.60
that I may live: and
let me not be ashamed
00:02:14.10\00:02:18.12
of my hope. Hold thou me up,
00:02:18.13\00:02:21.58
and I shall be safe:
and I will have respect unto
00:02:22.03\00:02:25.40
thy statutes continually.
Thou hast trodden down
00:02:25.41\00:02:29.70
all them that err
from thy statutes:
00:02:29.71\00:02:32.68
for their deceit is falsehood.
00:02:32.69\00:02:34.17
Thou puttest away all
the wicked of the earth
00:02:34.84\00:02:37.31
like dross: therefore
I love thy testimonies.
00:02:37.32\00:02:41.64
My flesh
trembleth for fear of thee;
00:02:41.65\00:02:44.53
and I am afraid
of thy judgments.
00:02:45.03\00:02:46.93
I have done
judgment and justice:
00:02:47.74\00:02:49.94
leave me not to mine oppressors.
00:02:49.95\00:02:52.21
Be surety for
thy servant for good,
00:02:53.14\00:02:55.98
let not the proud oppress me.
00:02:56.59\00:02:58.49
Mine eyes fail
for thy salvation,
00:02:59.21\00:03:01.75
and for the word
of thy righteousness.
00:03:01.76\00:03:03.68
Deal with thy servant
according unto thy mercy,
00:03:03.69\00:03:06.47
teach me thy
statutes. I am thy servant;
00:03:07.09\00:03:10.56
give me
understanding, that I may know
00:03:10.97\00:03:13.41
thy testimonies. It
is time for thee, Lord,
00:03:13.42\00:03:17.42
to work: for they
have made void thy law.
00:03:17.43\00:03:20.25
Therefore I love thy
commandments above gold;
00:03:20.66\00:03:23.86
yea, above fine gold.
Therefore I esteem all thy
00:03:24.53\00:03:29.77
precepts concerning
all things to be right;
00:03:29.78\00:03:33.35
and I hate every false way.
00:03:33.88\00:03:35.57
Thy testimonies are
wonderful; therefore doth
00:03:36.37\00:03:39.71
my soul keep them.
The entrance of thy words
00:03:39.72\00:03:43.70
giveth light;
giveth understanding unto
00:03:44.30\00:03:47.63
the simple. I opened
my mouth, and panted:
00:03:47.64\00:03:50.47
for I longed for
thy commandments.
00:03:50.48\00:03:52.28
Look thou upon me,
and be merciful unto me,
00:03:52.29\00:03:55.38
as thou usest to do
unto those that love
00:03:55.39\00:03:58.30
thy name. Order
my steps in thy word:
00:03:58.31\00:04:01.93
and let not any
iniquity have dominion over me.
00:04:01.94\00:04:05.52
Deliver me from
the oppression of man:
00:04:06.10\00:04:08.30
so will I keep thy precepts.
00:04:08.82\00:04:10.74
Make thy face to
shine upon thy servant;
00:04:11.37\00:04:14.19
and teach me thy statutes.
00:04:14.20\00:04:15.61
Rivers of waters
run down mine eyes,
00:04:16.69\00:04:19.04
because they keep not thy law.
00:04:19.05\00:04:20.87
Righteous art
thou, O Lord, and upright
00:04:21.41\00:04:24.67
are thy judgments.
Thy testimonies that thou
00:04:25.07\00:04:28.07
hast commanded are righteous
00:04:28.08\00:04:29.47
and very faithful. My
zeal hath consumed me,
00:04:29.48\00:04:33.39
because mine enemies
have forgotten thy words.
00:04:33.40\00:04:35.46
Thy word is very pure;
00:04:36.78\00:04:38.89
therefore thy servant loveth it.
00:04:38.90\00:04:41.06
I am small and
despised: yet do I not forget
00:04:42.41\00:04:46.57
thy precepts. Thy
righteousness is an
00:04:46.58\00:04:50.04
everlasting righteousness,
and thy law is the truth.
00:04:50.05\00:04:54.10
Trouble and anguish
have taken hold on me:
00:04:55.36\00:04:57.80
yet thy
commandments are my delights.
00:04:57.81\00:04:59.85
The righteousness of thy
testimonies is everlasting:
00:05:00.33\00:05:03.83
give me
understanding, and I shall live.
00:05:04.66\00:05:07.63
I cried with my whole
heart; hear me, O Lord:
00:05:08.85\00:05:12.04
I will keep thy
statutes. I cried unto thee;
00:05:12.05\00:05:15.27
save me, and I shall
keep thy testimonies.
00:05:15.28\00:05:18.01
I prevented the dawning
of the morning, and cried:
00:05:18.65\00:05:21.36
I hoped in thy word.
00:05:21.37\00:05:23.45
Mine eyes prevent
the night watches,
00:05:24.34\00:05:26.33
that I might
meditate in thy word.
00:05:26.81\00:05:29.10
Hear my voice according
unto thy lovingkindness:
00:05:30.41\00:05:33.28
O Lord, quicken me
according to thy judgment.
00:05:33.86\00:05:37.34
They draw nigh that
follow after mischief:
00:05:38.01\00:05:41.29
they are far from thy law.
00:05:41.75\00:05:43.37
Thou art near, O Lord;
and all thy commandments
00:05:44.11\00:05:47.67
are truth.
Concerning thy testimonies,
00:05:47.68\00:05:50.56
I have known of old
that thou hast founded
00:05:50.57\00:05:53.45
them for ever.
Consider mine affliction,
00:05:53.46\00:05:58.23
and deliver me: for I
do not forget thy law.
00:05:58.67\00:06:02.00
Plead my cause, and deliver me:
00:06:03.49\00:06:05.27
quicken me
according to thy word.
00:06:05.28\00:06:07.37
Salvation is
far from the wicked:
00:06:08.60\00:06:10.08
for they seek not thy statutes.
00:06:10.09\00:06:11.90
Great are thy
tender mercies, O Lord:
00:06:12.49\00:06:15.92
quicken me
according to thy judgments.
00:06:16.36\00:06:18.84
Many are my
persecutors and mine enemies;
00:06:20.29\00:06:22.77
yet do I not decline
from thy testimonies.
00:06:23.19\00:06:25.97
I beheld the transgressors
00:06:26.52\00:06:28.13
and was grieved;
because they kept not thy word.
00:06:28.14\00:06:30.89
Consider how I
love thy precepts:
00:06:32.23\00:06:34.74
quicken me, O
Lord, according to thy
00:06:35.26\00:06:37.62
loving kindness.
Thy word is true from
00:06:37.63\00:06:41.39
the beginning: and
every one of thy righteous
00:06:41.40\00:06:44.22
judgments endureth for ever.
00:06:44.23\00:06:45.95
Princes have
persecuted me without a cause:
00:06:47.38\00:06:49.57
but my heart
standeth in awe of thy word.
00:06:50.25\00:06:52.71
I rejoice at thy word,
00:06:53.15\00:06:54.55
as one that findeth great spoil.
00:06:54.56\00:06:57.15
I hate and abhor
lying: but thy law do I love.
00:06:58.09\00:07:02.73
Seven times a day do
I praise thee because
00:07:04.07\00:07:07.15
of thy righteous judgments.
00:07:07.16\00:07:08.82
Great peace have
they which love thy law:
00:07:10.28\00:07:13.55
and nothing shall offend them.
00:07:14.30\00:07:16.37
LORD, I have
hoped for thy salvation,
00:07:17.99\00:07:19.83
and done thy commandments.
00:07:19.84\00:07:21.31
My soul hath
kept thy testimonies;
00:07:21.87\00:07:24.16
and I love them exceedingly.
00:07:24.17\00:07:25.78
I have kept thy
precepts and thy testimonies:
00:07:26.32\00:07:28.79
for all my ways are before thee.
00:07:29.32\00:07:31.05
Let my cry come
near before thee, O Lord:
00:07:31.58\00:07:34.57
give me understanding
according to thy word.
00:07:34.58\00:07:37.47
Let my
supplication come before thee:
00:07:38.27\00:07:40.28
deliver me
according to thy word.
00:07:40.67\00:07:42.54
My lips shall utter
praise, when thou hast taught me
00:07:43.02\00:07:46.45
thy statutes. My tongue
shall speak of thy word:
00:07:46.46\00:07:48.87
for all thy
commandments are righteousness.
00:07:48.88\00:07:50.80
Let thine hand help
me; for I have chosen
00:07:51.75\00:07:54.68
thy precepts. I have longed for
00:07:54.69\00:07:57.25
thy salvation, O Lord;
and thy law is my delight.
00:07:57.26\00:08:00.65
Let my soul live,
and it shall praise thee;
00:08:01.40\00:08:03.67
and let thy judgments help me.
00:08:03.68\00:08:05.01
I have gone
astray like a lost sheep;
00:08:05.76\00:08:08.14
seek thy servant;
for I do not forget
00:08:09.34\00:08:12.33
thy commandments.
This is Psalm 120,
00:08:12.34\00:08:16.31
the King James
Version. In my distress I cried
00:08:16.32\00:08:21.34
unto the Lord, and he heard me.
00:08:21.35\00:08:23.58
Deliver my soul, O
Lord, from lying lips,
00:08:24.50\00:08:27.77
and from a deceitful tongue.
00:08:27.78\00:08:29.48
What shall be given unto thee?
00:08:30.03\00:08:31.70
or what shall be done
unto thee, thou false tongue?
00:08:31.71\00:08:34.68
Sharp arrows of the mighty,
00:08:35.41\00:08:37.05
with coals of
juniper. Woe is me,
00:08:37.06\00:08:40.79
that I sojourn in Mesech,
that I dwell in the tents
00:08:40.80\00:08:45.12
of Kedar! My soul
hath long dwelt with him
00:08:45.13\00:08:49.05
that hateth
peace. I am for peace:
00:08:49.06\00:08:52.72
but when I
speak, they are for war.
00:08:53.20\00:08:56.31
Psalm 121: This is
the King James Version,
00:08:58.12\00:09:00.97
I will lift up mine
eyes unto the hills,
00:09:03.49\00:09:05.93
from whence cometh my help.
00:09:06.40\00:09:07.89
My help cometh from
the Lord, which made heaven
00:09:08.40\00:09:11.24
and earth. He will
not suffer thy foot
00:09:11.25\00:09:13.91
to be moved: he
that keepeth thee will
00:09:13.92\00:09:16.63
not slumber. Behold, he
that keepeth Israel shall
00:09:16.64\00:09:20.48
neither slumber nor
sleep. The Lord is thy keeper:
00:09:20.49\00:09:24.64
the Lord is thy
shade upon thy right hand.
00:09:25.20\00:09:28.01
The sun shall not
smite thee by day,
00:09:28.02\00:09:30.54
nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve
00:09:30.98\00:09:34.41
thee from all evil: he
shall preserve thy soul.
00:09:34.42\00:09:37.84
The Lord shall
preserve thy going out
00:09:38.34\00:09:40.21
and thy coming in
from this time forth,
00:09:40.22\00:09:42.65
and even for evermore.
00:09:43.09\00:09:45.30
Psalm 122: This is
the King James Version.
00:09:47.18\00:09:49.81
I was glad when
they said unto me;
00:09:50.59\00:09:52.93
Let us go into
the house of the Lord.
00:09:53.39\00:09:55.23
Our feet shall stand
within thy gates, O Jerusalem.
00:09:55.85\00:09:58.69
Jerusalem is
builded as a city that
00:09:59.27\00:10:01.44
is compact together:
Whither the tribes go up,
00:10:01.45\00:10:04.59
the tribes of the
Lord, unto the testimony
00:10:04.60\00:10:07.10
of Israel, to give
thanks unto the name
00:10:07.11\00:10:08.72
of the Lord. For there
are set thrones of judgment,
00:10:08.73\00:10:12.00
the thrones of
the house of David.
00:10:12.01\00:10:13.80
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
00:10:15.09\00:10:16.82
they shall
prosper that love thee.
00:10:17.26\00:10:19.01
Peace be within thy
walls, and prosperity within
00:10:19.59\00:10:22.52
thy palaces. For my brethren
00:10:22.53\00:10:24.45
and companions'
sakes, I will now say,
00:10:24.46\00:10:26.38
Peace be within
thee. Because of the house
00:10:26.88\00:10:30.13
of the Lord our God
I will seek thy good.
00:10:30.14\00:10:34.21
Psalm 123: This is
the King James Version.
00:10:35.76\00:10:38.92
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes,
00:10:40.75\00:10:43.89
O thou that
dwellest in the heavens.
00:10:43.90\00:10:46.22
Behold, as the eyes
of servants look unto the
00:10:47.40\00:10:50.49
hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maiden
00:10:50.50\00:10:54.44
unto the hand of her mistress;
00:10:54.45\00:10:56.52
so our eyes wait
upon the LORD our God,
00:10:57.08\00:11:00.36
until that he
have mercy upon us.
00:11:00.94\00:11:04.11
Have mercy upon us, O
Lord, have mercy upon us:
00:11:04.12\00:11:06.91
for we are exceedingly
filled with contempt.
00:11:07.41\00:11:09.84
Our soul is exceedingly
filled with the scorning
00:11:10.24\00:11:13.47
of those that are at ease,
00:11:13.48\00:11:15.50
and with the
contempt of the proud.
00:11:15.93\00:11:17.74
Psalm 124: This is
the King James Version.
00:11:19.42\00:11:22.03
If it had not been the
Lord who was on our side,
00:11:24.40\00:11:27.09
now may Israel say; If
it had not been the Lord
00:11:27.77\00:11:31.16
who was on our side,
when men rose up against us:
00:11:31.65\00:11:34.22
Then they had
swallowed us up quick,
00:11:35.10\00:11:38.18
when their wrath
was kindled against us:
00:11:38.19\00:11:40.60
Then the waters
had overwhelmed us,
00:11:41.63\00:11:43.17
the stream had
gone over our soul:
00:11:43.18\00:11:45.42
Then the proud waters
had gone over our soul.
00:11:45.43\00:11:47.58
Blessed be the Lord,
who hath not given us
00:11:48.29\00:11:51.39
as a prey to their
teeth. Our soul is escaped
00:11:51.40\00:11:55.85
as a bird out of the
snare of the fowlers:
00:11:55.86\00:11:58.46
the snare is
broken, and we are escaped.
00:11:58.47\00:12:01.19
Our help is in
the name of the Lord,
00:12:01.82\00:12:04.22
who made heaven and earth.
00:12:04.62\00:12:06.58
Psalm 125: This is
the King James Version.
00:12:08.25\00:12:10.99
They that trust
in the Lord shall be
00:12:12.84\00:12:14.51
as mount Zion,
which cannot be removed,
00:12:14.52\00:12:16.99
but abideth
forever. As the mountains
00:12:17.37\00:12:20.45
are round about Jerusalem,
00:12:20.46\00:12:22.17
so the Lord is round
about his people from
00:12:22.18\00:12:25.31
henceforth even forever.
For the rod of the wicked
00:12:25.32\00:12:29.28
shall not rest upon
the lot of the righteous;
00:12:29.29\00:12:31.46
lest the righteous
put forth their hands
00:12:31.89\00:12:33.81
unto iniquity. Do
good, O Lord, unto those
00:12:33.82\00:12:38.09
that be good, and to
them that are upright
00:12:38.10\00:12:39.98
in their hearts. As
for such as turn aside
00:12:39.99\00:12:43.43
unto their crooked
ways, the Lord shall lead them
00:12:43.44\00:12:45.85
forth with the
workers of iniquity:
00:12:45.86\00:12:47.43
but peace shall be upon Israel.
00:12:47.93\00:12:50.35
Psalm 126: When the
Lord turned again the
00:12:51.28\00:12:56.28
captivity of Zion, we
were like them that dream.
00:12:56.29\00:12:59.18
Then was our mouth
filled with laughter,
00:12:59.80\00:13:01.95
and our tongue with singing:
00:13:01.96\00:13:03.36
then said they
among the heathen,
00:13:03.74\00:13:05.34
The Lord hath done
great things for them.
00:13:05.74\00:13:07.86
The Lord hath done
great things for us;
00:13:08.55\00:13:10.69
whereof we are glad.
Turn again our captivity,
00:13:10.70\00:13:14.46
O Lord, as the
streams in the south.
00:13:14.47\00:13:17.09
They that sow in
tears shall reap in joy.
00:13:18.58\00:13:22.87
He that goeth forth and weepeth,
00:13:23.56\00:13:26.23
bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again
00:13:26.75\00:13:30.18
with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
00:13:30.19\00:13:33.47
Psalm 127: Except
the Lord build the house,
00:13:34.87\00:13:40.52
they labour in
vain that build it:
00:13:40.86\00:13:42.49
except the Lord keep
the city, the watchman
00:13:43.08\00:13:45.57
waketh but in
vain. It is vain for you
00:13:45.58\00:13:48.44
to rise up
early, to sit up late,
00:13:48.45\00:13:50.38
to eat the bread of sorrows:
00:13:50.39\00:13:51.81
for so he giveth
his beloved sleep.
00:13:52.30\00:13:54.89
Lo, children are an
heritage of the Lord:
00:13:55.80\00:13:58.46
and the fruit of
the womb is his reward.
00:13:58.47\00:14:00.14
As arrows are in the
hand of a mighty man;
00:14:00.86\00:14:03.68
so are children of the youth.
00:14:04.42\00:14:06.12
Happy is the man
that hath his quiver
00:14:06.84\00:14:09.31
full of them: they
shall not be ashamed,
00:14:09.32\00:14:11.43
but they shall speak
with the enemies in the gate.
00:14:11.95\00:14:14.49
Psalm 128:
Blessed is every one that
00:14:15.89\00:14:19.71
feareth the Lord;
that walketh in his ways.
00:14:19.72\00:14:22.53
For thou shalt eat
the labour of thine hands:
00:14:23.12\00:14:25.50
happy shalt thou be, and
it shall be well with thee.
00:14:25.93\00:14:29.72
Thy wife shall be
as a fruitful vine
00:14:30.35\00:14:32.58
by the sides of thine
house: thy children like
00:14:32.59\00:14:35.39
olive plants
round about thy table.
00:14:35.40\00:14:37.99
