Hello and welcome back
to "His Words are Life."
00:00:15.81\00:00:18.28
I am Kelly Mower
and today we are going
00:00:18.83\00:00:20.29
to continue reading
together in the book
00:00:20.30\00:00:22.19
of Psalms, but let's
pray before we start.
00:00:22.20\00:00:25.08
Dear Heavenly
Father, it is so wonderful to
00:00:26.13\00:00:30.17
sit and to read
the words of David
00:00:30.18\00:00:33.57
and the other
authors of these songs
00:00:33.58\00:00:36.09
of praise to you, but more than
00:00:36.10\00:00:38.67
just hearing
them, may they become
00:00:38.68\00:00:40.64
our song of praise
to you also because
00:00:40.65\00:00:43.35
you have dealt so mercifully to
00:00:43.36\00:00:45.17
everyone of us.
Thank you, we love you
00:00:45.18\00:00:47.86
and thank you
for loving us, amen.
00:00:47.93\00:00:50.05
We are beginning
in Psalm chapter 139
00:00:51.68\00:00:54.42
with verse 13, and this
is the King James Version.
00:00:55.25\00:00:58.47
For thou hast
possessed my reins:
00:01:00.31\00:01:02.97
thou hast covered
me in my mother's womb.
00:01:03.30\00:01:06.35
I will praise thee;
for I am fearfully and
00:01:07.16\00:01:09.69
wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works;
00:01:09.70\00:01:13.01
and that my soul
knoweth right well.
00:01:13.88\00:01:16.18
My substance was
not hid from thee,
00:01:17.39\00:01:19.72
when I was made in secret,
00:01:20.22\00:01:21.52
and curiously
wrought in the lowest
00:01:21.53\00:01:24.06
parts of the
earth. Thine eyes did see
00:01:24.07\00:01:27.17
my substance,
yet being unperfect;
00:01:27.18\00:01:29.70
and in thy book all
my members were written,
00:01:30.81\00:01:34.39
which in
continuance were fashioned,
00:01:34.75\00:01:36.81
when as yet
there was none of them.
00:01:37.50\00:01:39.54
How precious also
are thy thoughts unto me,
00:01:40.88\00:01:44.68
O God! how great
is the sum of them!
00:01:44.78\00:01:48.01
If I should count
them, they are more in
00:01:48.96\00:01:50.70
number than the
sand: when I awake,
00:01:50.71\00:01:54.12
I am still with
thee. Surely thou wilt slay
00:01:54.88\00:01:58.39
the wicked, O God:
depart from me therefore,
00:01:58.40\00:02:00.84
ye bloody men. For they speak
00:02:00.85\00:02:03.19
against thee
wickedly, and thine enemies
00:02:03.20\00:02:04.90
take thy name in
vain. Do not I hate them,
00:02:04.91\00:02:07.68
O LORD, that hate thee?
And am not I grieved with
00:02:07.69\00:02:12.11
those that rise up against thee?
00:02:12.12\00:02:14.33
I hate them with perfect hatred:
00:02:15.23\00:02:16.86
I count them mine
enemies. Search me,
00:02:17.55\00:02:21.47
O God, and know
my heart: try me,
00:02:21.48\00:02:25.76
and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any
00:02:26.04\00:02:29.08
wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way
00:02:29.09\00:02:33.34
everlasting.
Psalm 140. This is the
00:02:33.35\00:02:37.56
King James
Version. Deliver me, O LORD,
00:02:37.57\00:02:41.65
from the evil
man: preserve me from
00:02:41.66\00:02:44.38
the violent man;
Which imagine mischiefs
00:02:44.39\00:02:47.36
in their heart;
continually are they
00:02:47.37\00:02:49.85
gathered together for war.
00:02:49.86\00:02:51.73
They have
sharpened their tongues
00:02:52.37\00:02:53.57
like a serpent;
adders' poison is
00:02:53.58\00:02:56.01
under their lips.
Selah. Keep me, O LORD,
00:02:56.02\00:02:59.62
from the hands of the wicked;
00:02:59.63\00:03:01.16
preserve me
from the violent man;
00:03:01.71\00:03:03.72
who have purposed
to overthrow my goings.
00:03:04.39\00:03:07.26
The proud have
hid a snare for me,
00:03:08.49\00:03:10.28
and cords; they have spread a
00:03:10.29\00:03:12.06
net by the wayside;
they have set gins for me.
00:03:12.07\00:03:15.35
Selah. I said unto
the LORD, Thou art my God:
00:03:16.11\00:03:21.21
hear the voice of my
supplications, O LORD.
00:03:22.14\00:03:24.05
O GOD the Lord, the
strength of my salvation,
00:03:24.95\00:03:27.55
thou hast covered my
head in the day of battle.
00:03:28.07\00:03:30.18
Grant not, O LORD,
the desires of the wicked:
00:03:31.44\00:03:33.74
further not his wicked device;
00:03:35.13\00:03:37.00
lest they exalt
themselves. Selah.
00:03:37.36\00:03:39.77
As for the head
of those that compass
00:03:41.14\00:03:42.91
me about, let the
mischief of their own
00:03:42.92\00:03:45.37
lips cover them.
Let burning coals
00:03:45.38\00:03:48.87
fall upon them:
let them be cast into
00:03:48.88\00:03:50.85
the fire; into deep
pits, that they rise not up
00:03:50.86\00:03:53.96
again. Let not an
evil speaker be established
00:03:53.97\00:03:57.49
in the earth:
evil shall hunt the
00:03:57.50\00:04:00.18
violent man to overthrow him.
00:04:00.19\00:04:02.53
I know that the LORD
will maintain the cause
00:04:03.77\00:04:06.94
of the afflicted, and
the right of the poor.
00:04:07.10\00:04:10.54
Surely the righteous
shall give thanks unto
00:04:11.53\00:04:14.08
thy name: the
upright shall dwell in
00:04:14.09\00:04:17.46
thy presence.
Psalm chapter 141. Lord,
00:04:17.47\00:04:23.31
I cry unto thee:
make haste unto me;
00:04:23.32\00:04:26.49
give ear unto my
voice, when I cry unto thee.
00:04:26.83\00:04:29.22
Let my prayer be set
forth before thee as incense;
00:04:29.93\00:04:32.88
and the lifting
up of my hands as the
00:04:32.99\00:04:35.20
evening sacrifice.
Set a watch, O LORD,
00:04:35.21\00:04:39.80
before my mouth;
keep the door of my lips.
00:04:40.09\00:04:44.09
Incline not my
heart to any evil thing,
00:04:45.07\00:04:48.11
to practise wicked
works with men that work
00:04:48.12\00:04:50.42
iniquity: and let me
not eat of their dainties.
00:04:50.43\00:04:53.28
Let the righteous smite me;
00:04:54.18\00:04:55.47
it shall be a kindness:
and let him reprove me;
00:04:55.48\00:04:58.62
it shall be an excellent oil,
00:04:59.32\00:05:00.73
which shall not break my head:
00:05:00.74\00:05:02.43
for yet my
prayer also shall be in
00:05:03.30\00:05:05.23
their calamities.
When their judges are
00:05:05.24\00:05:08.18
overthrown in stony places,
00:05:08.19\00:05:09.56
they shall hear my
words; for they are sweet.
00:05:09.57\00:05:11.63
Our bones are
scattered at the grave's
00:05:12.37\00:05:14.67
mouth, as when one
cutteth and cleaveth
00:05:14.68\00:05:16.70
wood upon the earth.
But mine eyes are unto
00:05:16.71\00:05:20.86
thee, O GOD the
Lord: in thee is my trust;
00:05:21.11\00:05:25.18
leave not my soul destitute.
00:05:26.09\00:05:27.83
Keep me from the
snares which they
00:05:29.01\00:05:31.06
have laid for me,
and the gins of the
00:05:31.07\00:05:32.83
workers of
iniquity. Let the wicked fall
00:05:32.84\00:05:35.34
into their own nets, whilst that
00:05:37.57\00:05:38.54
I withal escape.
Psalm 142: I cried unto
00:05:38.55\00:05:44.46
the LORD with my
voice; with my voice unto
00:05:44.47\00:05:47.26
the LORD did I
make my supplication.
00:05:47.27\00:05:49.19
I poured out my
complaint before him;
00:05:49.87\00:05:51.84
I shewed before him my trouble.
00:05:52.02\00:05:54.09
When my spirit was
overwhelmed within me,
00:05:55.53\00:05:58.49
then thou knewest my path.
00:05:59.41\00:06:02.05
In the way
wherein I walked have they
00:06:03.05\00:06:05.47
privily laid a snare for me.
00:06:05.48\00:06:07.20
I looked on my
right hand, and beheld,
00:06:08.07\00:06:09.64
but there was no
man that would know me:
00:06:10.53\00:06:12.09
refuge failed me; no
man cared for my soul.
00:06:12.48\00:06:15.27
I cried unto
thee, O LORD: I said,
00:06:16.27\00:06:17.96
Thou art my refuge
and my portion in the
00:06:18.48\00:06:20.39
land of the
living. Attend unto my cry;
00:06:20.40\00:06:24.02
for I am brought very low:
00:06:24.65\00:06:25.89
deliver me from my persecutors;
00:06:26.85\00:06:28.73
for they are stronger than I.
00:06:28.74\00:06:30.56
Bring my soul out of prison,
00:06:31.71\00:06:33.47
that I may praise thy name:
00:06:33.60\00:06:35.14
the righteous
shall compass me about;
00:06:36.23\00:06:38.39
for thou shalt deal
bountifully with me.
00:06:39.06\00:06:41.92
Psalm 143, this is
the King James Version.
00:06:43.60\00:06:46.69
Hear my prayer, O LORD,
00:06:48.44\00:06:50.17
give ear to my supplications:
00:06:51.00\00:06:53.04
in thy faithfulness answer me,
00:06:54.19\00:06:56.45
and in thy righteousness.
00:06:56.98\00:06:58.25
And enter not into judgment with
00:06:59.41\00:07:01.45
thy servant: for
in thy sight shall
00:07:01.46\00:07:05.64
no man living be justified.
00:07:05.65\00:07:08.31
For the enemy hath
persecuted my soul;
00:07:09.48\00:07:11.50
he hath smitten my
life down to the ground;
00:07:11.51\00:07:14.09
he hath made me
to dwell in darkness,
00:07:14.70\00:07:16.05
as those that
have been long dead.
00:07:16.06\00:07:17.82
Therefore is my
spirit overwhelmed within me;
00:07:18.70\00:07:20.60
my heart within me is desolate.
00:07:21.74\00:07:24.33
I remember the days of old;
00:07:25.47\00:07:26.75
I meditate on all thy works;
00:07:27.91\00:07:30.02
I muse on the work of thy hands.
00:07:30.93\00:07:33.55
I stretch forth
my hands unto thee:
00:07:34.26\00:07:35.99
my soul thirsteth after thee,
00:07:36.39\00:07:38.65
as a thirsty land.
Selah. Hear me speedily,
00:07:39.06\00:07:43.58
O LORD: my spirit faileth:
00:07:43.59\00:07:46.23
hide not thy face from me,
00:07:47.37\00:07:49.02
lest I be like
unto them that go down
00:07:49.71\00:07:51.91
into the pit.
Cause me to hear thy
00:07:51.92\00:07:55.14
lovingkindness in the morning;
00:07:55.15\00:07:56.86
for in thee do I
trust: cause me to know the
00:07:57.51\00:08:01.73
way wherein I should walk;
00:08:01.74\00:08:03.64
for I lift up my soul unto thee.
00:08:04.41\00:08:06.12
Deliver me, O
LORD, from mine enemies:
00:08:07.20\00:08:09.34
I flee unto thee to hide me.
00:08:13.38\00:08:14.35
Teach me to do thy will;
00:08:14.36\00:08:15.47
for thou art my
God: thy spirit is good;
00:08:15.87\00:08:19.30
lead me into the
land of uprightness.
00:08:19.31\00:08:21.82
Quicken me, O LORD,
for thy name's sake:
00:08:22.60\00:08:25.51
for thy righteousness'
sake bring my soul
00:08:25.68\00:08:27.67
out of trouble. And of thy mercy
00:08:27.68\00:08:30.50
cut off mine
enemies, and destroy all them
00:08:31.27\00:08:33.59
that afflict my
soul: for I am thy servant.
00:08:33.60\00:08:37.25
Psalm 144: Blessed
be the LORD my strength
00:08:38.91\00:08:44.15
which teacheth my hands to war,
00:08:44.93\00:08:46.77
and my fingers to
fight: My goodness,
00:08:46.78\00:08:49.73
and my fortress; my high tower,
00:08:50.11\00:08:52.71
and my deliverer; my shield,
00:08:52.72\00:08:54.61
and he in whom I
trust; who subdueth my
00:08:55.20\00:08:58.92
people under me.
LORD, what is man,
00:08:58.93\00:09:03.87
that thou takest
knowledge of him!
00:09:03.88\00:09:05.73
Or the son of
man, that thou makest
00:09:06.53\00:09:08.20
account of him!
Man is like to vanity:
00:09:08.21\00:09:11.40
his days are as a
shadow that passeth away.
00:09:11.41\00:09:14.16
Bow thy heavens, O
LORD, and come down:
00:09:15.99\00:09:18.08
touch the mountains,
and they shall smoke.
00:09:18.79\00:09:21.29
Cast forth
lightning, and scatter them:
00:09:21.97\00:09:23.67
shoot out thine
arrows, and destroy them.
00:09:23.68\00:09:25.55
Send thine hand
from above; rid me,
00:09:26.17\00:09:28.32
and deliver me
out of great waters,
00:09:28.33\00:09:30.13
from the hand of
strange children;
00:09:30.14\00:09:31.98
Whose mouth speaketh vanity,
00:09:32.61\00:09:33.88
and their right hand is
a right hand of falsehood.
00:09:33.89\00:09:35.87
I will sing a new
song unto thee, O God:
00:09:37.06\00:09:39.24
upon a psaltery
and an instrument of
00:09:40.01\00:09:41.83
ten strings will I
sing praises unto thee.
00:09:41.84\00:09:44.37
It is he that giveth
salvation unto kings:
00:09:45.24\00:09:47.71
who delivereth
David his servant from the
00:09:47.96\00:09:50.02
hurtful sword. Rid
me, and deliver me from
00:09:50.03\00:09:53.44
the hand of strange children,
00:09:53.45\00:09:54.82
whose mouth speaketh vanity,
00:09:54.98\00:09:56.41
and their right hand is
a right hand of falsehood:
00:09:56.42\00:09:59.16
That our sons may
be as plants grown up
00:10:00.38\00:10:02.68
in their youth; that
our daughters maybe as
00:10:02.69\00:10:05.75
corner stones,
polished after the similitude
00:10:05.76\00:10:09.20
of a palace: That
our garners may be full,
00:10:09.21\00:10:12.60
affording all manner of store:
00:10:13.26\00:10:15.41
that our sheep may
bring forth thousands
00:10:18.22\00:10:19.27
and ten
thousands in our streets:
00:10:19.28\00:10:20.25
That our oxen may
be strong to labour;
00:10:20.62\00:10:22.73
that there be no breaking in,
00:10:23.17\00:10:26.58
nor going out; that
there be no complaining
00:10:26.59\00:10:27.56
in our streets.
Happy is that people,
00:10:27.57\00:10:30.71
that is in such a case: yea,
00:10:31.27\00:10:34.15
happy is that people,
whose God is the LORD.
00:10:35.05\00:10:38.88
Psalm 145, and this is
the King James Version.
00:10:40.61\00:10:43.49
I will extol
thee, my God, O king;
00:10:45.28\00:10:48.08
and I will bless thy
name for ever and ever.
00:10:48.09\00:10:50.86
Every day will I bless thee;
00:10:51.80\00:10:53.26
name for ever and ever.
00:10:53.27\00:10:54.24
Great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised;
00:10:56.43\00:10:59.39
and his
greatness is unsearchable.
00:10:59.40\00:11:01.24
One generation shall praise thy
00:11:02.22\00:11:03.46
works to another,
and shall declare thy
00:11:03.47\00:11:05.42
mighty acts. I will
speak of the glorious
00:11:05.43\00:11:08.73
honour of thy
majesty, and of thy wondrous
00:11:08.74\00:11:11.10
works. And men
shall speak of the might
00:11:11.11\00:11:14.15
of thy terrible acts:
00:11:14.26\00:11:15.46
and I will
declare thy greatness.
00:11:15.47\00:11:18.40
They shall
abundantly utter the memory
00:11:19.27\00:11:21.49
of thy great goodness,
00:11:21.50\00:11:22.71
and shall sing of
thy righteousness.
00:11:22.72\00:11:24.82
The LORD is gracious,
00:11:25.22\00:11:26.53
and full of
compassion; slow to anger,
00:11:26.54\00:11:30.07
and of great mercy.
The LORD is good to all:
00:11:30.59\00:11:34.16
and his tender mercies
are over all his works.
00:11:34.78\00:11:37.58
All thy works shall
praise thee, O LORD;
00:11:38.71\00:11:40.82
and thy saints shall bless thee.
00:11:40.83\00:11:42.61
They shall speak of
the glory of thy kingdom,
00:11:43.40\00:11:45.43
and talk of thy power;
00:11:45.44\00:11:46.83
To make known to the sons of
00:11:47.27\00:11:48.62
men his mighty
acts, and the glorious
00:11:48.63\00:11:50.74
majesty of his
kingdom. Thy kingdom is an
00:11:50.75\00:11:54.69
everlasting
kingdom, and thy dominion
00:11:54.70\00:11:57.48
endureth
throughout all generations.
00:11:57.49\00:12:00.63
The LORD
upholdeth all that fall,
00:12:01.49\00:12:05.12
and raiseth up all
those that be bowed down.
00:12:05.13\00:12:07.80
The eyes of all wait upon thee;
00:12:08.59\00:12:10.19
and thou givest them
their meat in due season.
00:12:10.20\00:12:12.94
Thou openest thine hand,
00:12:13.93\00:12:15.22
and satisfiest the
desire of every living thing.
00:12:15.23\00:12:19.26
The LORD is
righteous in all his ways,
00:12:20.43\00:12:22.56
and holy in all his works.
00:12:22.80\00:12:24.74
The LORD is nigh unto
all them that call upon him,
00:12:25.58\00:12:29.23
to all that call
upon him in truth.
00:12:29.89\00:12:32.07
He will fulfil the
desire of them that fear him:
00:12:33.17\00:12:36.80
he also will hear their cry,
00:12:37.63\00:12:39.34
and will save
them. The LORD preserveth
00:12:39.81\00:12:42.83
all them that love him:
00:12:42.84\00:12:44.58
but all the
wicked will he destroy.
00:12:44.88\00:12:46.77
My mouth shall speak
the praise of the LORD:
00:12:47.77\00:12:50.61
and let all flesh
bless his holy name
00:12:51.34\00:12:53.75
for ever and ever.
Psalm 146, this is the
00:12:54.28\00:12:59.24
King James
Version. Praise ye the LORD.
00:12:59.25\00:13:02.35
Praise the LORD, O my soul.
00:13:03.20\00:13:04.74
While I live will
I praise the LORD:
00:13:05.38\00:13:07.25
I will sing
praises unto my God while I
00:13:07.37\00:13:09.82
have any being. Put
not your trust in princes,
00:13:09.83\00:13:13.96
nor in the son of man,
00:13:13.97\00:13:15.08
in whom there is no help.
00:13:15.09\00:13:16.32
His breath goeth forth,
00:13:17.36\00:13:18.67
he returneth to his earth;
00:13:19.44\00:13:20.92
in that very day
his thoughts perish.
00:13:21.16\00:13:22.91
Happy is he that hath the God of
00:13:24.13\00:13:25.68
Jacob for his
help, whose hope is in
00:13:25.69\00:13:28.83
the LORD his God:
Which made heaven,
00:13:28.84\00:13:31.12
and earth, the sea,
and all that therein is:
00:13:31.13\00:13:34.00
which keepeth truth for ever:
00:13:34.40\00:13:36.60
Which executeth
judgment for the oppressed:
00:13:36.73\00:13:39.40
which giveth food to the hungry.
00:13:39.55\00:13:41.08
The LORD looseth the prisoners:
00:13:41.85\00:13:43.42
The LORD openeth
the eyes of the blind:
00:13:43.51\00:13:45.71
the LORD raiseth
them that are bowed down:
00:13:45.98\00:13:48.31
the LORD loveth the righteous:
00:13:48.44\00:13:50.35
The LORD
preserveth the strangers;
00:13:50.92\00:13:52.88
he relieveth the
fatherless and widow:
00:13:53.75\00:13:56.05
but the way of the
wicked he turneth upside down.
00:13:56.62\00:13:58.73
The LORD shall reign for ever,
00:13:59.61\00:14:01.43
even thy God, O
Zion, unto all generations.
00:14:01.97\00:14:05.20
Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 147:
00:14:05.67\00:14:09.69
Praise ye the LORD:
for it is good to sing
00:14:10.88\00:14:12.87
praises unto our
God; for it is pleasant;
00:14:12.88\00:14:15.84
and praise is comely.
The LORD doth build up
00:14:16.39\00:14:19.31
Jerusalem: he gathereth together
00:14:19.32\00:14:21.00
the outcasts of
Israel. He healeth the
00:14:21.01\00:14:24.55
broken in heart, and
bindeth up their wounds.
00:14:24.56\00:14:27.57
He telleth the
number of the stars;
00:14:28.42\00:14:29.99
he calleth them
all by their names.
00:14:30.00\00:14:32.46
Great is our Lord,
and of great power:
00:14:33.19\00:14:35.93
his understanding is infinite.
