- 0:01Speaker 1: Psalm forty six. God is our refuge and strength, an
- 0:08Speaker 1: ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Though the earth give way and the mountains fall into
- 0:16Speaker 1: the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam,
- 0:20Speaker 1: and the mountains quake with their surging, there is a
- 0:24Speaker 1: river whose streams make glad the City of God, the
- 0:28Speaker 1: holy place where the most High dwells. God is within her.
- 0:33Speaker 1: She will not fall. God will help her. At break
- 0:36Speaker 1: of day, nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall. He lifts
- 0:42Speaker 1: his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us.
- 0:49Speaker 1: The God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see
- 0:53Speaker 1: what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought
- 0:56Speaker 1: on the earth. He makes wars cease to thee the
- 1:00Speaker 1: ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters
- 1:03Speaker 1: the spear. He burns the shields with fire. He says,
- 1:08Speaker 1: be still and know that I am God. I will
- 1:14Speaker 1: be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in
- 1:18Speaker 1: the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us. The God
- 1:24Speaker 1: of Jacob is our fortress Psalm sixty two. Truly my
- 1:32Speaker 1: soul finds rest in God. My salvation comes from Him.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Truly He is my rock and my salvation. He is
- 1:41Speaker 1: my fortress. I will never be shaken. How long will
- 1:47Speaker 1: you assault me? Would all of you throw me down
- 1:50Speaker 1: this leaning wall, this tottering fence. Surely they intend to
- 1:56Speaker 1: topple me from my lofty place. They take delight in
- 1:59Speaker 1: life eyes, with their mouths they bless, but in their
- 2:03Speaker 1: hearts they curse. Yes, my soul find rest in God.
- 2:11Speaker 1: My hope comes from him. Truly, He is my rock
- 2:15Speaker 1: and my salvation. He is my fortress. I will not
- 2:19Speaker 1: be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God.
- 2:26Speaker 1: He is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in Him
- 2:30Speaker 1: at all times, you people, pour out your hearts to Him.
- 2:35Speaker 1: For God is our refuge. Surely, the low born are
- 2:40Speaker 1: but a breath. The high born are but a lie.
- 2:44Speaker 1: If weighed on a balance, they are nothing together. They
- 2:48Speaker 1: are only a breath. Do not trust in extortion, or
- 2:53Speaker 1: put vain hope in stolen goods. Though your riches increase,
- 2:58Speaker 1: do not set your heart on them. One thing God
- 3:02Speaker 1: hath spoken. Two things I have heard. Power belongs to you, God,
- 3:08Speaker 1: And with you, Lord is unfailing love. And you reward
- 3:14Speaker 1: every one according to what they have done. Psalm thirty seven.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Do not fret because of those who are evil, or
- 3:26Speaker 1: be envious of those who do wrong, For like the grass,
- 3:31Speaker 1: they will soon wither. Like green plants, they will soon
- 3:34Speaker 1: die away. Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell
- 3:40Speaker 1: in the land and enjoy save pasture. Take delight in
- 3:44Speaker 1: the Lord, and he will give you the desires of
- 3:47Speaker 1: your heart. Commit your way to the Lord. Trust in him,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and he will do this. He will make your righteous
- 3:57Speaker 1: reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when
- 4:15Speaker 1: they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and
- 4:20Speaker 1: turn from wrath. Do not fret. It leads only to evil,
- 4:27Speaker 1: for those who are evil will be destroyed. But those
- 4:30Speaker 1: who hope in the Lord will inherit the land a
- 4:35Speaker 1: little while, and the wicked will be no more. Though
- 4:39Speaker 1: you look for them, they will not be found. But
- 4:42Speaker 1: the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.
- 4:49Speaker 1: The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth
- 4:53Speaker 1: at them. But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for
- 4:57Speaker 1: he knows their day is coming. Wicked draw the sword
- 5:01Speaker 1: and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy,
- 5:04Speaker 1: to slay those whose ways are upright. But their swords
- 5:08Speaker 1: will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth
- 5:18Speaker 1: of many wicked, For the power of the wicked will
- 5:22Speaker 1: be broken. But the Lord upholds the righteous. The blameless
- 5:28Speaker 1: spend their days under the Lord's care, and their inheritance
- 5:31Speaker 1: will endure forever. In times of disaster, they will not wither.
- 5:36Speaker 1: In days of famine, they will enjoy plenty, But the
- 5:40Speaker 1: wicked will perish. Though the Lord's enemies are like the
- 5:44Speaker 1: flowers of the field, they will be consumed. They will
- 5:49Speaker 1: go up in smoke. The wicked borrow and do not repay.
- 5:55Speaker 1: But the righteous give generously. Those the lawd blesses will
- 6:01Speaker 1: inherit the land, but those he curses will be destroyed.
- 6:07Speaker 1: The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who
- 6:10Speaker 1: delights in him. Though he may stumble, he will not fall,
- 6:14Speaker 1: for the Lord upholds him with his hand. I was young,
- 6:19Speaker 1: and now I am old. Yet I have never seen
- 6:23Speaker 1: the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread. They are
- 6:28Speaker 1: always generous and lend freely. Their children will be a blessing.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Turn from evil and do good. Then you will dwell
- 6:38Speaker 1: in the land forever. For the Lord loves the just
- 6:42Speaker 1: and will not forsake his faithful ones. Wrong Doers will
- 6:46Speaker 1: be completely destroyed. The offspring of the wicked will perish.
- 6:52Speaker 1: The righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it
- 6:55Speaker 1: for ever. The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom, and
- 7:01Speaker 1: their tongues speak what is just. The law of their
- 7:04Speaker 1: God is in their hearts their feet. Do not slip.
- 7:09Speaker 1: The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, intent on
- 7:13Speaker 1: putting them to death. But the Lord will not leave
- 7:16Speaker 1: them in the power of the wicked, or let them
- 7:18Speaker 1: be condemned when brought to trial. Hope in the Lord
- 7:23Speaker 1: and keep his way. He will exalt you to inherit
- 7:27Speaker 1: the land. When the wicked are destroyed, you will see it.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I have seen a wicked and ruthless man flourishing like
- 7:38Speaker 1: a luxuriant native tree. But he soon passed away and
- 7:43Speaker 1: was no more. Though I looked for him, he could
- 7:46Speaker 1: not be found. Consider the blameless, observe the upright. A
- 7:52Speaker 1: future awaits those who seek peace, But all sinners will
- 7:57Speaker 1: be destroyed there will be no future for the wicked.
- 8:02Speaker 1: The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord. He
- 8:06Speaker 1: is their stronghold. In time of trouble. The Lord helps
- 8:10Speaker 1: them and delivers them. He delivers them from the wicked
- 8:13Speaker 1: and saves them because they take refuge in him. Psalm
- 8:21Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty one. My heart is not proud, Lord,
- 8:26Speaker 1: My eyes are not haughty. I do not concern myself
- 8:30Speaker 1: with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But
- 8:34Speaker 1: I have calmed and quieted myself. I am like a
- 8:37Speaker 1: weaned child with its mother. Like a weaned child, I
- 8:42Speaker 1: am contentpt Israel, Put your hope in the Lord, both
- 8:48Speaker 1: now and for evermore, Psalm twenty three. The Lord is
- 8:56Speaker 1: my shepherd. I lack nothing. He makes me lie down
- 9:02Speaker 1: in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. He
- 9:07Speaker 1: refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths
- 9:12Speaker 1: for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the
- 9:16Speaker 1: darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are
- 9:22Speaker 1: with me. Your rod and your staff they comfort me.
- 9:29Speaker 1: You prepare a table before me in the presence of
- 9:31Speaker 1: my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup
- 9:37Speaker 1: overflows surely Your goodness and love will follow me all
- 9:44Speaker 1: the days of my life, and I will dwell in
- 9:48Speaker 1: the house of the Lord for ever Psan ninety one,
- 9:57Speaker 1: whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will
- 10:00Speaker 1: rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say
- 10:04Speaker 1: of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress,
- 10:08Speaker 1: my God in whom I trust. Surely he will save
- 10:12Speaker 1: you from the fowl's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
- 10:17Speaker 1: He will cover you with his feathers, and under his
- 10:20Speaker 1: wings you will find refuge. His faithfulness will be your
- 10:24Speaker 1: shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of
- 10:28Speaker 1: the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor
- 10:31Speaker 1: the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague
- 10:35Speaker 1: that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side,
- 10:41Speaker 1: ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not
- 10:45Speaker 1: come near you. You will only observe with your eyes
- 10:49Speaker 1: and see the punishment of the wicked. If you say
- 10:54Speaker 1: the Lord is my refuge, and you make the Most
- 10:58Speaker 1: High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you. No disaster
- 11:02Speaker 1: will come near your tent, for He will command his
- 11:06Speaker 1: angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
- 11:10Speaker 1: They will lift you up in their hands, so that
- 11:13Speaker 1: you will not strike your foot against a stone. You
- 11:17Speaker 1: will tread on the lion and the cobra. You will
- 11:20Speaker 1: trample the great lion and the serpent. Because he loves me,
- 11:26Speaker 1: says the Lord. I will rescue him. I will protect him,
- 11:31Speaker 1: for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me,
- 11:35Speaker 1: and I will answer him. I will be with him
- 11:38Speaker 1: in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him with
- 11:43Speaker 1: long life. I will satisfy him and show him my
- 11:47Speaker 1: salvation Psalm twenty seven. The Lord is my light and
- 11:55Speaker 1: my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the
- 12:01Speaker 1: stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid
- 12:07Speaker 1: when the wicked advance against me to devour me. It
- 12:11Speaker 1: is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Though an army beseech me, my heart will not fear
- 12:20Speaker 1: the war break out against me. Even then I will
- 12:24Speaker 1: be confident. One thing I ask from the Lord. This
- 12:28Speaker 1: only do I seek, that I may dwell in the
- 12:32Speaker 1: house of the Lord all the days of my life,
- 12:35Speaker 1: to gaze on the beauty of the Lord, and to
- 12:37Speaker 1: seek him in his temple. For in the day of trouble,
- 12:42Speaker 1: he will keep me safe in his dwelling. He will
- 12:46Speaker 1: hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and
- 12:49Speaker 1: set me high upon a rock. Then my head will
- 12:54Speaker 1: be exalted above the enemies who surround me at his
- 12:59Speaker 1: sacred ten and I will sacrifice with shouts of joy.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I will sing and make music to the Lord. Hear
- 13:09Speaker 1: my voice when I call, Lord, be merciful to me
- 13:12Speaker 1: and answer me. My heart says of you seek his
- 13:17Speaker 1: faith your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide
- 13:23Speaker 1: your face from me. Do not turn your servant away
- 13:26Speaker 1: in anger. You have been my helper. Do not reject
- 13:31Speaker 1: me or forsake me. God is my savior. Though my
- 13:36Speaker 1: father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Teach me your way. Lord, lead me in a straight
- 13:46Speaker 1: path because of my oppressors. Do not turn me over
- 13:50Speaker 1: to the desire of my foes. For false witnesses rise
- 13:53Speaker 1: up against me, spouting malicious accusations. I remain confident of this.
- 14:01Speaker 1: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the
- 14:04Speaker 1: land of the Living. Wait for the Lord. Be strong
- 14:09Speaker 1: and take heart and wait for the Lord. Psalm one
- 14:16Speaker 1: hundred and twenty seven. Unless the Lord builds the house,
- 14:21Speaker 1: the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over
- 14:26Speaker 1: the city, the gods stand watch in vain. In vain,
- 14:32Speaker 1: you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food
- 14:35Speaker 1: to eat. For He grants sleep to those he loves.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward
- 14:44Speaker 1: from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man
- 14:52Speaker 1: whose quiver is full of them. They will not be
- 14:55Speaker 1: put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
- 15:02Speaker 1: Psalm for answer me when I call to you, my
- 15:06Speaker 1: Righteous God, give me relief from my distress. Have mercy
- 15:12Speaker 1: on me and hear my prayer. How long will you
- 15:18Speaker 1: people turn my glory into shame? How long will you
- 15:22Speaker 1: love delusions and seek false gods? Know that the Lord
- 15:27Speaker 1: has set apart his faithful servant for himself. The Lord
- 15:31Speaker 1: hears when I call to him. Tremble and do not sin.
- 15:37Speaker 1: When you are on your beds, search your hearts and
- 15:40Speaker 1: be silent. Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust
- 15:45Speaker 1: in the Lord. Many Lord are asking who will bring
- 15:51Speaker 1: us prosperity. Let the light of your face shine on us.
- 15:57Speaker 1: Fill my heart with joy. When the rain and new
- 16:00Speaker 1: wine abound in peace, I will lie down and sleep
- 16:07Speaker 1: for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm
- 16:13Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one. I lift up my eyes
- 16:17Speaker 1: to the mountains. Where does my help come from. My
- 16:22Speaker 1: help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
- 16:27Speaker 1: He will not let your foot slip. He who watches
- 16:29Speaker 1: over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over
- 16:34Speaker 1: Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you.
- 16:41Speaker 1: The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The
- 16:45Speaker 1: sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon
- 16:48Speaker 1: by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm.
- 16:52Speaker 1: He will watch over your life. The Lord will watch
- 16:56Speaker 1: over your coming and going, both now and for evermore
- 17:03Speaker 1: Psalm one hundred twenty five. Those who trust in the
- 17:08Speaker 1: Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken, but
- 17:12Speaker 1: endures for ever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the
- 17:16Speaker 1: Lord surrounds his people, both now and for evermore. The
- 17:22Speaker 1: scepter of the wicked will not remain over the land
- 17:24Speaker 1: allotted to the righteous, For then the righteous might use
- 17:28Speaker 1: their hands to do evil. Lord, do good to those
- 17:33Speaker 1: who are good, to those who are upright in heart.
- 17:37Speaker 1: But those who turn to crooked ways, the Lord will
- 17:40Speaker 1: banish with the evil doers. Peace be on Israel Psalm sixteen.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge.
- 17:56Speaker 1: I say to the Lord, you are my Lord. Apart
- 18:00Speaker 1: from you, I have no good thing. I say of
- 18:04Speaker 1: the holy people who are in the land. They are
- 18:08Speaker 1: the noble ones in whom is all my delight. Those
- 18:12Speaker 1: who run after other gods will suffer more and more.
- 18:16Speaker 1: I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods,
- 18:21Speaker 1: or take up their names on my lips. Lord, you
- 18:25Speaker 1: alone are my portion and my cup. You make my
- 18:29Speaker 1: lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in
- 18:33Speaker 1: pleasant places. Surely I have a delightful inheritance. I will
- 18:39Speaker 1: praise the Lord who counsels me. Even at night. My
- 18:43Speaker 1: heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
- 18:49Speaker 1: With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices. My
- 18:58Speaker 1: body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon
- 19:02Speaker 1: me to the realm of the dead, nor will you
- 19:05Speaker 1: let your faithful one see decay. You make known to
- 19:10Speaker 1: me the path of life. You will fill me with
- 19:13Speaker 1: joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right
- 19:18Speaker 1: hand Psalm one hundred thirty nine. You have searched me, Lord,
- 19:26Speaker 1: and you know me. You know when I sit and
- 19:29Speaker 1: when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You
- 19:35Speaker 1: discern my going out and my lying down. You are
- 19:38Speaker 1: familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on
- 19:43Speaker 1: my tongue, you Lord know it completely. You hem me
- 19:47Speaker 1: in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for
- 19:57Speaker 1: me to attain. Where can I go from your spirit?
- 20:03Speaker 1: Where can I flee from your presence? If I go
- 20:07Speaker 1: up to the heavens, you are there. If I make
- 20:11Speaker 1: my bed in the depths, you are there. If I
- 20:16Speaker 1: rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle
- 20:19Speaker 1: on the far side of the sea, even there, your
- 20:22Speaker 1: hand will guide me. Your right hand will hold me fast.
- 20:28Speaker 1: If I say, surely, the darkness will hide me, and
- 20:31Speaker 1: the light become night around me, Even the darkness will
- 20:36Speaker 1: not be dark to you. The night will shine like
- 20:39Speaker 1: the day. For darkness is as light to you, For
- 20:45Speaker 1: you created my inmost being. You knit me together in
- 20:48Speaker 1: my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully
- 20:52Speaker 1: and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. I know that
- 20:58Speaker 1: full well. My frame was not hidden from you when
- 21:02Speaker 1: I was made in the secret place. When I was
- 21:05Speaker 1: woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes
- 21:10Speaker 1: saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me
- 21:15Speaker 1: were written in your book before one of them came
- 21:19Speaker 1: to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God,
- 21:23Speaker 1: How vast is the sum of them? Were I to
- 21:27Speaker 1: count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When
- 21:32Speaker 1: I awake, I am still with you. If only you, God,
- 21:37Speaker 1: would slay the wicked away from me, You who are bloodthirsty.
- 21:43Speaker 1: They speak of you with evil intent. Your adversaries misuse
- 21:47Speaker 1: your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord?
- 21:52Speaker 1: And abhor those who are in rebellion against you? I
- 21:57Speaker 1: have nothing but hatred for them. I count them my enemies.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Search me, God, and know my heart. Test me and
- 22:05Speaker 1: know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive
- 22:10Speaker 1: way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
- 22:17Speaker 1: Psalm twenty nine. Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings
- 22:23Speaker 1: ascribe to the Lord. Glory and strength ascribed to the Lord.
- 22:28Speaker 1: The glory to his name. Worship the Lord in the
- 22:32Speaker 1: splendor of his holiness. The voice of the Lord is
- 22:36Speaker 1: over the waters. The God of Glory thunders. The Lord
- 22:41Speaker 1: thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the Lord
- 22:46Speaker 1: is powerful. The voice of the Lord is majestic. The
- 22:51Speaker 1: voice of the Lord breaks the cedars. The Lord breaks
- 22:54Speaker 1: in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon leap
- 22:59Speaker 1: like a c sir rion, like a young wild ox.
- 23:03Speaker 1: The voice of the Lord strikes with flashes of lightning.
- 23:08Speaker 1: The voice of the Lord shakes the desert. The Lord
- 23:12Speaker 1: shakes the desert of Kerdesh. The voice of the Lord
- 23:16Speaker 1: twists the oaks and strips the forest's bear. And in
- 23:21Speaker 1: his temple all cry glory. The Lord sits enthroned over
- 23:28Speaker 1: the flood. The Lord is enthroned as king for ever.
- 23:32Speaker 1: The Lord gives strength to his people. The Lord blesses
- 23:37Speaker 1: his people with peace Psalm ninety four. The Lord is
- 23:45Speaker 1: a God who avenges, O God who avenges, shine forth,
- 23:53Speaker 1: Rise up, judge of the earth. Pay back to the
- 23:56Speaker 1: proud what they deserve. How long Lord will the wicked.
- 24:00Speaker 1: How long will the wicked be jubilant? They pour out
- 24:04Speaker 1: arrogant words. All the evil doers are full of boasting.
- 24:08Speaker 1: They crush your people, Lord, They oppress your inheritance. They
- 24:12Speaker 1: slay the widow and the foreigner. They murder the fatherless.
- 24:16Speaker 1: They say, the Lord does not see the God of
- 24:19Speaker 1: Jacob takes no notice. Take notice, you senseless ones among
- 24:24Speaker 1: the people, you fools. When will you become wise? Does
- 24:31Speaker 1: he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who
- 24:35Speaker 1: form the eye not see? Does he who disciplines nations
- 24:41Speaker 1: not punish? Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge? The
- 24:47Speaker 1: Lord knows all human plans. He knows that they are futile.
- 24:52Speaker 1: Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you
- 24:55Speaker 1: teach from your law. You grant them relief from days
- 24:59Speaker 1: of trouble, till a pity is dug for the wicked.
- 25:03Speaker 1: For the Lord will not reject his people, He will
- 25:06Speaker 1: never forsake his inheritance. Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
- 25:11Speaker 1: and all the upright in heart will follow it. Who
- 25:16Speaker 1: will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will
- 25:19Speaker 1: take a stand for me against evil doers? Unless the
- 25:22Speaker 1: Lord had given me help. I would soon have dwelt
- 25:25Speaker 1: in the silence of death. When I said, my foot
- 25:30Speaker 1: is slipping. Your unfailing love, Lord supported me when anxiety
- 25:36Speaker 1: was great within me. Your consolation brought me joy. Can
- 25:41Speaker 1: a corrupt throne be allied with you? A throne that
- 25:45Speaker 1: brings on misery by its decrees? The wicked band together
- 25:50Speaker 1: against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death. But
- 25:54Speaker 1: the Lord has become my fortress and my God, the
- 25:58Speaker 1: rock in whom I te refuge. He will repay them
- 26:03Speaker 1: for their sins and destroy them for their wickedness. The Lord,
- 26:08Speaker 1: our God, will destroy them Psalm thirty four. I will
- 26:16Speaker 1: extol the Lord at all times. His praise will always
- 26:20Speaker 1: be on my lips. I will glory in the Lord.
- 26:25Speaker 1: Let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord,
- 26:34Speaker 1: and he answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.
- 26:39Speaker 1: Those who look to him are radiant. Their faces are
- 26:43Speaker 1: never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the
- 26:47Speaker 1: Lord heard him. He saved him out of all his troubles.
- 26:52Speaker 1: The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
- 26:56Speaker 1: and he delivers them taste and sin that the Lord
- 27:01Speaker 1: is good. Blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Fear the Lord, you, his holy people, For those who
- 27:10Speaker 1: fear him lack nothing. The lions may grow weak and hungry,
- 27:16Speaker 1: but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. Come,
- 27:21Speaker 1: my children, listen to me. I will teach you the
- 27:24Speaker 1: fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and
- 27:28Speaker 1: desires to see many good days. Keep your tongue from
- 27:33Speaker 1: evil and your lips from telling lies. Turn from evil
- 27:37Speaker 1: and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes
- 27:43Speaker 1: of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears
- 27:46Speaker 1: are attentive to their cry. But the face of the
- 27:50Speaker 1: Lord is against those who do evil, to blot out
- 27:53Speaker 1: their name from the earth. The righteous cry out, and
- 27:57Speaker 1: the Lord hears them. He delivers them from all their troubles.
- 28:02Speaker 1: The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves
- 28:06Speaker 1: those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may
- 28:11Speaker 1: have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all.
- 28:16Speaker 1: He protects all his bones. Not one of them will
- 28:19Speaker 1: be broken. Evil will slay the wicked. The foes of
- 28:24Speaker 1: the righteous will be condemned. The Lord will rescue his servants.
- 28:31Speaker 1: No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Psalm eighty four. How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord Almighty.
- 28:45Speaker 1: My soul yearns even faints for the courts of the Lord.
- 28:51Speaker 1: My heart and my flesh cry out for the Living God.
- 28:55Speaker 1: Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallower
- 28:58Speaker 1: nest for herself, where she may have her young, a
- 29:01Speaker 1: place near your altar. Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are
- 29:11Speaker 1: ever praising you. Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
- 29:16Speaker 1: whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through
- 29:20Speaker 1: the Valley of Bacca, they make it a place of springs.
- 29:25Speaker 1: The autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go
- 29:28Speaker 1: from strength to strength till each appears before God in Zion.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty, listen to me, God
- 29:38Speaker 1: of Jacob, Look on our shield, Oh God, look with
- 29:42Speaker 1: favour on your anointed. One better is one day in
- 29:47Speaker 1: your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be
- 29:54Speaker 1: a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell
- 29:58Speaker 1: in the tents of the wicked. For the Lord God
- 30:02Speaker 1: is a son and shield. The Lord bestows favor and honor.
- 30:08Speaker 1: No good thing does he withhold from those whose way
- 30:11Speaker 1: of life is blameless. Lord, Almighty, blessed is the one
- 30:17Speaker 1: who trusts in you, Psalm one hundred and forty five.
- 30:24Speaker 1: I will exalt you, my God, the King. I will
- 30:27Speaker 1: praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I
- 30:30Speaker 1: will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise His greatness,
- 30:38Speaker 1: no one can fathom. One generation commends your works to another.
- 30:43Speaker 1: They tell of your mighty acts. They speak of the
- 30:46Speaker 1: glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on
- 30:50Speaker 1: your wonderful works. They tell of the power of your
- 30:54Speaker 1: awesome works, and I will proclaim your great deeds. They say.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Celebrate your abundant goodness, and joyfully sing of your righteousness.
- 31:05Speaker 1: The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and
- 31:10Speaker 1: rich in love. The Lord is good to all. He
- 31:14Speaker 1: has compassion on all. He has made all your works.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Praise you, Lord. Your faithful people extol you. They tell
- 31:23Speaker 1: of the glory of your kingdom, and speak of your might,
- 31:26Speaker 1: so that all people may know of your mighty acts
- 31:28Speaker 1: and the glorious splendor of your kingdom. Your kingdom is
- 31:33Speaker 1: an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations.
- 31:39Speaker 1: The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises, and faithful
- 31:42Speaker 1: in all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall,
- 31:47Speaker 1: and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes
- 31:52Speaker 1: of all look to you, and you give them their food.
- 31:55Speaker 1: At the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy
- 31:59Speaker 1: the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous
- 32:04Speaker 1: in all his ways, and faithful in all he does.
- 32:07Speaker 1: The Lord is near to all who call on him,
- 32:10Speaker 1: to all who call on him in truth, he fulfills
- 32:14Speaker 1: the desires of those who fear him. He hears their
- 32:17Speaker 1: cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who
- 32:21Speaker 1: love him, but all the wicked he will destroy. My
- 32:26Speaker 1: mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every
- 32:30Speaker 1: creature praise his Holy name for ever and ever, Psalm
- 32:38Speaker 1: one hundred and three. Praise the Lord my soul, All
- 32:44Speaker 1: my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord
- 32:50Speaker 1: my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives
- 32:54Speaker 1: all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems
- 32:59Speaker 1: your life. The pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
- 33:03Speaker 1: who satisfies your desires with good things, so that your
- 33:07Speaker 1: youth is renewed. Like the eagles. The Lord works righteousness
- 33:13Speaker 1: and justice for all the oppressed. He made known his
- 33:19Speaker 1: ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel.
- 33:23Speaker 1: The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding
- 33:28Speaker 1: in love. He will not always accuse, nor will he
- 33:33Speaker 1: harbour his anger forever. He does not treat us as
- 33:37Speaker 1: our sins deserve, or repay us according to our iniquities.
- 33:43Speaker 1: For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
- 33:46Speaker 1: so great is his love for those who fear him.
- 33:50Speaker 1: As far as the east is from the west, so
- 33:54Speaker 1: far has he removed our transgressions from us. As a
- 33:59Speaker 1: father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has
- 34:02Speaker 1: compassion on those who fear him. For he knows how
- 34:07Speaker 1: we are formed. He remembers that we are dust. The
- 34:11Speaker 1: life of mortals is like grass. They flourish like a
- 34:17Speaker 1: flower in the field. The wind blows over it, and
- 34:21Speaker 1: it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
- 34:25Speaker 1: But from everlasting to everlasting. The Lord's love is with
- 34:29Speaker 1: those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children,
- 34:34Speaker 1: with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey
- 34:38Speaker 1: his precepts. The Lord has established his throne in heaven,
- 34:43Speaker 1: and his kingdom rules over all. Praise the Lord, you
- 34:49Speaker 1: his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who
- 34:52Speaker 1: obey his word. Praise the Lord. All his heavenly hosts,
- 34:58Speaker 1: You his servants who do his word. Will praise the
- 35:02Speaker 1: Lord all his works everywhere in his dominion. Praise the
- 35:08Speaker 1: Lord my soul Psalm one hundred and forty two. I
- 35:16Speaker 1: cry aloud to the Lord. I lift up my voice
- 35:19Speaker 1: to the Lord for mercy. I pour out before him
- 35:22Speaker 1: my complaint. Before him, I tell my trouble. When my
- 35:26Speaker 1: spirit grows faint within me. It is you who watch
- 35:29Speaker 1: over my way. In the path where I walk, people
- 35:33Speaker 1: have hidden a snare for me. Look and see there
- 35:38Speaker 1: is no one at my right hand. No one is
- 35:41Speaker 1: concerned for me. I have no refuge. No one cares
- 35:45Speaker 1: for my life. I cry to you, Lord, I say
- 35:51Speaker 1: you are my refuge, my portion in the land of
- 35:54Speaker 1: the living. Listen to my cry, for I am indesperate.
- 36:00Speaker 1: Need rescue me from those who pursue me, for they
- 36:04Speaker 1: are too strong for me. Set me free from my prison,
- 36:07Speaker 1: that I may praise your name. Then the righteous will
- 36:11Speaker 1: gather about me because of your goodness to me.
