Hello and welcome to
"His Words are Life."
00:00:16.42\00:00:18.39
I am Kelly Mower and
thank you for joining
00:00:18.73\00:00:20.82
with me today to
read the Bible together.
00:00:20.83\00:00:22.96
Let's pray before we start.
00:00:23.50\00:00:24.88
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you for an
00:00:26.15\00:00:28.97
opportunity to sit
and to hear your voice
00:00:28.98\00:00:32.17
through these words
of your men and women
00:00:32.94\00:00:36.36
down through the ages.
00:00:36.37\00:00:37.75
Please send the
Holy Spirit to open our
00:00:39.00\00:00:41.63
hearts to hear the
lessons you have for
00:00:41.64\00:00:44.55
everyone of us in this moment.
00:00:44.56\00:00:46.54
Thank you for being
with us throughout all
00:00:47.19\00:00:49.43
of our days and
teach us to praise
00:00:49.44\00:00:52.26
you better. We
love you so much, amen.
00:00:52.27\00:00:55.05
We are reading in Psalm 147
00:00:56.46\00:00:58.63
beginning with verse 6.
00:00:59.73\00:01:01.00
This is the King James Version.
00:01:01.01\00:01:02.40
The LORD lifteth up the meek:
00:01:04.11\00:01:06.49
he casteth the
wicked down to the ground.
00:01:06.91\00:01:09.95
Sing unto the
LORD with thanksgiving;
00:01:10.80\00:01:13.58
sing praise upon
the harp unto our God:
00:01:13.59\00:01:17.13
Who covereth the
heaven with clouds,
00:01:17.51\00:01:19.30
who prepareth
rain for the earth,
00:01:19.83\00:01:21.63
who maketh grass to
grow upon the mountains.
00:01:22.30\00:01:24.95
He giveth to the beast his food,
00:01:25.93\00:01:27.59
and to the young
ravens which cry.
00:01:27.60\00:01:29.49
He delighteth not in
the strength of the horse:
00:01:30.34\00:01:32.19
he taketh not
pleasure in the legs of a man.
00:01:32.34\00:01:34.66
The LORD taketh
pleasure in them that fear him,
00:01:35.39\00:01:37.78
in those that hope in his mercy.
00:01:38.37\00:01:40.59
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem;
00:01:42.30\00:01:43.81
praise thy God, O Zion.
00:01:44.66\00:01:46.48
For he hath strengthened
the bars of thy gates;
00:01:46.80\00:01:49.22
he hath blessed thy
children within thee.
00:01:49.23\00:01:51.37
He maketh peace in thy borders,
00:01:51.61\00:01:53.35
and filleth thee with
the finest of the wheat.
00:01:53.36\00:01:55.99
He sendeth forth his
commandment upon earth:
00:01:56.59\00:01:58.90
his word runneth very swiftly.
00:01:59.74\00:02:01.59
He giveth snow like wool:
00:02:02.41\00:02:04.57
he scattereth the
hoarfrost like ashes.
00:02:05.47\00:02:08.04
He casteth forth
his ice like morsels:
00:02:09.05\00:02:12.08
who can stand before his cold?
00:02:12.09\00:02:14.65
He sendeth out his word,
00:02:15.77\00:02:16.83
and melteth them: he
causeth his wind to blow,
00:02:17.45\00:02:20.90
and the waters flow.x
00:02:21.79\00:02:22.76
He sheweth his word unto Jacob,
00:02:23.75\00:02:25.35
his statutes and his
judgments unto Israel.
00:02:25.36\00:02:27.71
He hath not dealt
so with any nation:
00:02:28.87\00:02:30.67
and as for his judgments,
00:02:31.85\00:02:32.94
they have not known them.
00:02:33.59\00:02:34.66
Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 148,
00:02:35.45\00:02:40.16
and this is the
Kings James Version.
00:02:40.17\00:02:41.71
Praise ye the LORD.
Praise ye the LORD from
00:02:42.36\00:02:45.03
the heavens:
praise him in the heights.
00:02:45.04\00:02:47.45
Praise ye him, all his angels:
00:02:48.25\00:02:50.18
praise ye him, all
his hosts. Praise ye him,
00:02:50.42\00:02:53.48
sun and moon: praise
him, all ye stars of light.
00:02:53.49\00:02:57.03
Praise him, ye
heavens of heavens,
00:02:57.94\00:03:00.15
and ye waters that
be above the heavens.
00:03:00.42\00:03:02.66
Let them praise
the name of the LORD:
00:03:03.57\00:03:05.37
for he commanded,
and they were created.
00:03:05.86\00:03:08.25
He hath also established
them for ever and ever:
00:03:09.30\00:03:12.23
he hath made a
decree which shall not pass.
00:03:12.91\00:03:15.63
Praise the LORD from the earth,
00:03:16.80\00:03:18.35
ye dragons, and all deeps:
00:03:18.36\00:03:20.84
Fire, and hail;
snow, and vapours;
00:03:21.66\00:03:24.23
stormy wind
fulfilling his word: Mountains,
00:03:24.65\00:03:28.55
and all hills;
fruitful trees, and all cedars:
00:03:28.84\00:03:32.22
Beasts, and all
cattle; creeping things,
00:03:32.63\00:03:35.16
and flying fowl:
Kings of the earth,
00:03:35.18\00:03:37.37
and all people; princes,
00:03:37.92\00:03:39.85
and all judges of the earth:
00:03:40.39\00:03:41.85
Both young men, and maidens;
00:03:42.14\00:03:44.20
old men, and children:
00:03:44.43\00:03:45.66
Let them praise
the name of the LORD:
00:03:45.75\00:03:47.34
for his name alone is excellent;
00:03:48.04\00:03:50.69
his glory is above
the earth and heaven.
00:03:51.32\00:03:53.90
He also exalteth
the horn of his people,
00:03:54.42\00:03:56.40
the praise of all his saints;
00:03:57.04\00:03:59.03
even of the children of Israel,
00:03:59.76\00:04:01.26
a people near unto
him. Praise ye the LORD.
00:04:01.27\00:04:05.04
Psalm 149. This is
the King James Version.
00:04:06.76\00:04:09.20
Praise ye the LORD.
00:04:10.28\00:04:11.95
Sing unto the LORD a new song,
00:04:13.01\00:04:15.07
and his praise in the
congregation of saints.
00:04:15.40\00:04:18.27
Let Israel rejoice
in him that made him:
00:04:18.99\00:04:21.54
let the children of
Zion be joyful in their King.
00:04:22.13\00:04:24.78
Let them praise
his name in the dance:
00:04:24.79\00:04:27.48
let them sing
praises unto him with the
00:04:27.49\00:04:29.63
timbrel and harp.
For the LORD taketh
00:04:29.82\00:04:32.43
pleasure in his people:
00:04:32.44\00:04:33.57
he will beautify
the meek with salvation.
00:04:34.35\00:04:36.72
Let the saints
be joyful in glory:
00:04:37.79\00:04:39.91
let them sing
aloud upon their beds.
00:04:40.17\00:04:42.45
Let the high praises
of God be in their mouth,
00:04:43.29\00:04:46.64
and a two-edged
sword in their hand;
00:04:46.78\00:04:48.65
To execute
vengeance upon the heathen,
00:04:49.35\00:04:51.35
and punishments upon the people;
00:04:52.12\00:04:53.56
To bind their kings with chains,
00:04:54.27\00:04:56.31
and their nobles
with fetters of iron;
00:04:56.32\00:04:58.26
To execute upon them
the judgment written:
00:04:58.77\00:05:01.58
this honour have all his saints.
00:05:02.42\00:05:04.37
Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 150:
00:05:05.06\00:05:09.45
Praise ye the LORD.
00:05:11.01\00:05:12.67
Praise God in his sanctuary:
00:05:13.53\00:05:15.38
praise him in the
firmament of his power.
00:05:16.26\00:05:18.46
Praise him for his mighty acts:
00:05:18.69\00:05:20.85
praise him according to
his excellent greatness.
00:05:21.29\00:05:25.19
Praise him with the
sound of the trumpet:
00:05:26.03\00:05:28.63
praise him with
the psaltery and harp.
00:05:29.10\00:05:31.01
Praise him with
the timbrel and dance:
00:05:31.82\00:05:34.60
praise him with
stringed instruments and organs.
00:05:35.64\00:05:38.74
Praise him upon
the loud cymbals:
00:05:39.81\00:05:42.51
praise him upon the
high sounding cymbals.
00:05:43.28\00:05:46.49
Let every thing that
hath breath praise the LORD.
00:05:46.90\00:05:51.70
Praise ye the
LORD. Now we move to the
00:05:52.34\00:05:58.56
book of Proverbs chapter 1.
00:05:58.57\00:06:01.03
This is the King James Version.
00:06:01.48\00:06:03.35
The proverbs of
Solomon the son of David,
00:06:05.06\00:06:07.45
king of Israel; To
know wisdom and instruction;
00:06:07.46\00:06:11.75
to perceive the
words of understanding;
00:06:12.73\00:06:14.79
To receive the
instruction of wisdom,
00:06:15.91\00:06:17.79
justice, and
judgment, and equity;
00:06:18.08\00:06:19.72
To give subtilty to the simple,
00:06:20.96\00:06:22.62
to the young man
knowledge and discretion.
00:06:23.43\00:06:26.05
A wise man will hear,
and will increase learning;
00:06:27.59\00:06:29.59
and a man of understanding shall
00:06:29.78\00:06:31.79
attain unto wise counsels:
00:06:31.80\00:06:33.64
To understand a proverb,
00:06:34.71\00:06:35.83
and the interpretation;
00:06:35.84\00:06:36.95
the words of the wise,
and their dark sayings.
00:06:37.91\00:06:40.16
The fear of the
LORD is the beginning of
00:06:41.34\00:06:44.33
knowledge: but
fools despise wisdom
00:06:44.34\00:06:48.43
and
instruction. My son, hear the
00:06:48.44\00:06:52.42
instruction of thy father,
00:06:52.43\00:06:53.83
and forsake not
the law of thy mother:
00:06:54.69\00:06:56.72
For they shall be an
ornament of grace unto
00:06:57.13\00:06:59.66
thy head, and
chains about thy neck.
00:06:59.67\00:07:01.90
My son, if sinners
entice thee, consent thou not.
00:07:03.19\00:07:07.75
If they say, come with us,
00:07:09.12\00:07:11.11
let us lay wait for blood,
00:07:11.60\00:07:13.10
let us lurk
privily for the innocent
00:07:13.11\00:07:15.03
without cause: Let
us swallow them up alive
00:07:15.04\00:07:18.03
as the grave; and whole,
00:07:18.04\00:07:20.24
as those that go
down into the pit:
00:07:20.69\00:07:22.95
We shall find all
precious substance,
00:07:24.05\00:07:25.58
we shall fill our
houses with spoil:
00:07:25.59\00:07:27.89
Cast in thy lot among us;
00:07:27.90\00:07:29.46
let us all have
one purse: My son,
00:07:29.47\00:07:32.70
walk not thou in
the way with them;
00:07:34.06\00:07:36.06
refrain thy
foot from their path:
00:07:37.12\00:07:39.54
For their feet run to evil,
00:07:40.69\00:07:42.03
and make haste to shed blood.
00:07:42.04\00:07:43.58
Surely in vain the
net is spread in the
00:07:44.67\00:07:46.50
sight of any
bird. And they lay wait
00:07:46.51\00:07:49.35
for their own blood;
they lurk privily for
00:07:49.36\00:07:51.55
their own lives. So
are the ways of every one
00:07:51.56\00:07:55.27
that is greedy of
gain; which taketh away
00:07:55.97\00:07:58.87
the life of the owners thereof.
00:07:58.88\00:08:01.01
Wisdom crieth
without; she uttereth her
00:08:02.46\00:08:05.48
voice in the
streets: She crieth in the
00:08:05.49\00:08:08.08
chief place of concourse,
00:08:08.09\00:08:09.74
in the openings of the gates:
00:08:09.75\00:08:11.22
in the city she
uttereth her words,
00:08:11.23\00:08:13.79
saying, How
long, ye simple ones,
00:08:13.86\00:08:16.87
will ye love simplicity?
00:08:16.90\00:08:18.32
And the scorners
delight in their scorning,
00:08:19.19\00:08:21.67
and fools hate knowledge?
00:08:21.76\00:08:23.21
Turn you at my reproof: behold,
00:08:23.81\00:08:26.84
I will pour out
my spirit unto you,
00:08:27.71\00:08:29.94
I will make known
my words unto you.
00:08:30.55\00:08:33.05
Because I have
called, and ye refused;
00:08:34.52\00:08:37.21
I have stretched out my hand,
00:08:37.96\00:08:39.23
and no man
regarded; But ye have set at
00:08:39.24\00:08:42.58
nought all my
counsel, and would none
00:08:42.59\00:08:44.85
of my reproof: I also will laugh
00:08:44.86\00:08:48.56
at your
calamity; I will mock when
00:08:48.57\00:08:51.60
your fear cometh; When your fear
00:08:51.61\00:08:53.79
cometh as
desolation, and your destruction
00:08:53.80\00:08:56.16
cometh as a
whirlwind; when distress and
00:08:56.17\00:08:58.79
anguish cometh upon you.
00:08:58.98\00:09:00.36
Then shall they call upon me,
00:09:00.37\00:09:01.77
but I will not answer;
they shall seek me early,
00:09:01.85\00:09:04.81
but they shall not find me:
00:09:04.82\00:09:06.04
For that they hated knowledge,
00:09:06.86\00:09:09.24
and did not choose
the fear of the LORD:
00:09:09.82\00:09:11.96
They would none of my counsel:
00:09:13.35\00:09:14.82
they despised all my reproof.
00:09:14.83\00:09:17.13
Therefore shall
they eat of the fruit of
00:09:18.11\00:09:20.13
their own way,
and be filled with
00:09:20.14\00:09:22.49
their own
devices. For the turning
00:09:22.50\00:09:25.43
away of the
simple shall slay them,
00:09:25.44\00:09:27.35
and the prosperity of
fools shall destroy them.
00:09:28.19\00:09:31.10
But whoso hearkeneth unto me
00:09:32.97\00:09:35.11
shall dwell
safely, and shall be quiet
00:09:36.09\00:09:39.02
from fear of
evil. Proverbs chapter
00:09:39.32\00:09:43.48
2 and this is the
King James Version.
00:09:43.49\00:09:45.35
My son, if thou
wilt receive my words,
00:09:47.12\00:09:50.29
and hide my
commandments with thee;
00:09:50.93\00:09:52.64
So that thou incline
thine ear unto wisdom,
00:09:53.43\00:09:56.07
and apply thine
heart to understanding;
00:09:56.08\00:09:58.15
Yea, if thou
criest after knowledge,
00:09:58.59\00:10:00.74
and liftest up thy
voice for understanding;
00:10:00.77\00:10:03.82
If thou seekest her as silver,
00:10:04.41\00:10:06.82
and searchest for
her as for hid treasures;
00:10:07.21\00:10:09.79
Then shalt thou
understand the fear
00:10:10.84\00:10:12.80
of the LORD, and
find the knowledge of God.
00:10:12.81\00:10:15.77
For the LORD giveth wisdom:
00:10:16.73\00:10:18.38
out of his
mouth cometh knowledge
00:10:19.24\00:10:21.41
and understanding.
He layeth up sound
00:10:21.42\00:10:24.07
wisdom for the righteous:
00:10:24.08\00:10:25.64
he is a buckler to
them that walk uprightly.
00:10:26.23\00:10:29.01
He keepeth the
paths of judgment,
00:10:29.82\00:10:31.58
and preserveth
the way of his saints.
00:10:31.59\00:10:33.86
Then shalt thou
understand righteousness,
00:10:34.71\00:10:37.18
and judgment, and equity; yea,
00:10:37.40\00:10:39.29
every good path.
When wisdom entereth
00:10:40.08\00:10:43.15
into thine heart,
and knowledge is pleasant
00:10:43.36\00:10:45.50
unto thy soul;
Discretion shall preserve thee,
00:10:45.51\00:10:49.48
understanding shall keep thee:
00:10:50.49\00:10:52.87
To deliver thee from
the way of the evil man,
00:10:53.24\00:10:55.80
from the man that
speaketh froward things;
00:10:55.97\00:10:58.45
Who leave the
paths of uprightness,
00:10:58.85\00:11:00.26
to walk in the ways of darkness;
00:11:00.27\00:11:01.72
Who rejoice to
do evil, and delight
00:11:02.43\00:11:04.41
in the
frowardness of the wicked;
00:11:04.42\00:11:05.96
Whose ways are crooked,
00:11:06.04\00:11:07.41
and they froward in their paths:
00:11:07.81\00:11:09.38
To deliver thee
from the strange woman,
00:11:10.61\00:11:12.74
even from the
stranger which flattereth
00:11:13.37\00:11:15.86
with her words; Which forsaketh
00:11:15.87\00:11:17.83
the guide of her
youth, and forgetteth the
00:11:17.91\00:11:20.58
covenant of her
God. For her house
00:11:20.59\00:11:23.81
inclineth unto death,
00:11:23.93\00:11:25.05
and her paths unto the dead.
00:11:25.42\00:11:27.72
None that go
unto her return again,
00:11:28.68\00:11:30.75
neither take they
hold of the paths of life.
00:11:31.62\00:11:34.01
That thou mayest walk
in the way of good men,
00:11:34.86\00:11:37.09
and keep the
paths of the righteous.
00:11:37.66\00:11:39.44
For the upright
shall dwell in the land,
00:11:40.32\00:11:42.83
and the perfect
shall remain in it.
00:11:43.72\00:11:45.66
But the wicked shall
be cut off from the earth,
00:11:46.65\00:11:48.55
and the transgressors
shall be rooted out of it.
00:11:49.21\00:11:52.04
Proverbs chapter
3 and this is the
00:11:53.45\00:11:55.29
King James Version. My
son, forget not my law;
00:11:55.30\00:12:01.37
but let thine heart
keep my commandments:
00:12:02.00\00:12:04.42
For length of
days, and long life,
00:12:04.72\00:12:07.18
and peace, shall
they add to thee.
00:12:07.19\00:12:09.74
Let not mercy and
truth forsake thee:
00:12:10.92\00:12:13.88
bind them about thy neck;
00:12:14.29\00:12:15.45
write them upon the
table of thine heart:
00:12:15.46\00:12:18.38
So shalt thou
find favour and good
00:12:19.43\00:12:21.75
understanding in the
sight of God and man.
00:12:21.76\00:12:23.99
Trust in the LORD
with all thine heart;
00:12:25.43\00:12:27.86
and lean not unto
thine own understanding.
00:12:28.67\00:12:30.31
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
00:12:31.31\00:12:33.10
and he shall direct thy paths.
00:12:33.92\00:12:36.30
Be not wise in thine own eyes:
00:12:37.73\00:12:39.77
fear the LORD,
and depart from evil.
00:12:40.13\00:12:41.81
It shall be health to thy navel,
00:12:42.31\00:12:43.92
and marrow to thy
bones. Honour the LORD
00:12:43.93\00:12:46.85
with thy substance,
and with the firstfruits
00:12:46.86\00:12:48.69
of all thine
increase: So shall thy barns
00:12:48.70\00:12:51.56
be filled with
plenty, and thy presses
00:12:51.57\00:12:53.99
shall burst out
with new wine. My son,
00:12:54.00\00:12:57.77
despise not the
chastening of the LORD;
00:12:58.74\00:13:00.52
neither be weary
of his correction:
00:13:01.76\00:13:03.84
For whom the LORD
loveth he correcteth;
00:13:05.13\00:13:07.05
even as a father the
son in whom he delighteth.
00:13:07.78\00:13:10.99
Happy is the man
that findeth wisdom,
00:13:12.37\00:13:14.20
and the man that
getteth understanding.
00:13:14.21\00:13:15.78
For the merchandise
of it is better than the
00:13:16.94\00:13:18.91
merchandise of
silver, and the gain thereof
00:13:18.92\00:13:21.61
than fine gold.
She is more precious
00:13:21.76\00:13:23.50
than rubies: and all
the things thou canst
00:13:23.51\00:13:26.22
desire are not to
be compared unto her.
00:13:26.23\00:13:29.26
Length of days is
in her right hand;
00:13:30.27\00:13:32.53
and in her left
hand riches and honour.
00:13:32.54\00:13:35.17
Her ways are
ways of pleasantness,
00:13:36.13\00:13:38.97
and all her paths are peace.
00:13:39.72\00:13:41.81
She is a tree of
life to them that lay
00:13:42.83\00:13:45.10
hold upon her:
and happy is every one
00:13:45.11\00:13:48.24
that retaineth
her. The LORD by wisdom
00:13:48.50\00:13:51.63
hath founded the earth;
00:13:51.64\00:13:52.81
by understanding hath
he established the heavens.
00:13:53.57\00:13:56.31
By his knowledge the
depths are broken up,
00:13:56.52\00:13:58.90
and the clouds
drop down the dew.
00:13:58.91\00:14:01.20
My son, let not them
depart from thine eyes:
00:14:02.38\00:14:06.01
keep sound
wisdom and discretion:
00:14:06.60\00:14:08.98
So shall they be
life unto thy soul,
00:14:09.72\00:14:12.28
and grace to thy neck.
00:14:12.73\00:14:14.19
Then shalt thou
walk in thy way safely,
00:14:14.96\00:14:17.49
and thy foot shall not stumble.
00:14:18.08\00:14:19.74
When thou liest down,
00:14:20.45\00:14:21.42
thou shalt not be afraid: yea,
00:14:21.43\00:14:23.82
thou shalt lie down, and
thy sleep shall be sweet.
00:14:23.83\00:14:27.78
Be not afraid of sudden fear,
00:14:28.60\00:14:30.16
neither of the
desolation of the wicked,
00:14:30.17\00:14:32.03
when it cometh. For the LORD
00:14:32.04\00:14:34.11
shall be thy confidence,
00:14:34.12\00:14:36.05
and shall keep thy
foot from being taken.
00:14:36.48\00:14:39.66
