This Podcast contains Psalm 109 through Psalm 145.

Examples:

Psalm 109

21 But do THOU for me, O GOD the Lord, for THY name's sake: because THY mercy is good, deliver THOU me.

Psalm 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 127

1 Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

2  It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so HE giveth HIS beloved sleep.

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is HIS reward.

4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.

5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

Psalm 131

1 LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.

2 Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.

3 Let Israel hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.

Psalm 133

1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

3 As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Psalm 138

1 I will praise THEE with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto THEE.

2 I will worship toward THY holy temple, and praise THY name for THY lovingkindness and for THY truth: for thou hast magnified THY word above all THY name.

Psalm 139

1 O LORD, THOU hast searched me, and known me.

2 THOU knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, THOU understandest my thought afar off.

3 THOU compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, THOU knowest it altogether.

5 THOU hast beset me behind and before, and laid THINE hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7 Whither shall I go from THY spirit? or whither shall I flee from THY presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, THOU art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, THOU art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall THY hand lead me, and THY right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from THEE; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to THEE.

13 For THOU hast possessed my reins: THOU hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise THEE; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are THY works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from THEE, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 THINE eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in THY book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are THY thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with THEE.

19 Surely THOU wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

20 For they speak against THEE wickedly, and THINE enemies take THY name in vain.

21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against THEE?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 140

1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. 

4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

Psalm 141

1 LORD, I cry unto THEE: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto THEE.

2 Let my prayer be set forth before THEE as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Psalm 142

(A Prayer of David when he was in the cave.)

1 I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

2 I poured out my complaint before HIM; I shewed before HIM my trouble.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then THOU knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

5 I cried unto THEE, O LORD: I said, THOU art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise THY name: the righteous shall compass me about; for THOU shalt deal bountifully with me.

Psalm 143

8 Cause me to hear THY lovingkindness in the morning; for in THEE do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto THEE.

9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto THEE to hide me.

10 Teach me to do THY will; for THOU art my God: THY spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

11 Quicken me, O LORD, for THY name's sake: for THY righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

12 And of THY mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am THY servant.

Psalm 144

1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and HE in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.

Psalm 145

1 I will extol THEE, my God, O king; and I will bless THY name for ever and ever.

2 Every day will I bless THEE; and I will praise THY name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and HIS greatness is unsearchable.

4 One generation shall praise THY works to another, and shall declare THY mighty acts.

5 I will speak of the glorious honour of THY majesty, and of THY wondrous works.

6 And men shall speak of the might of THY terrible acts: and I will declare THY greatness.

7 They shall abundantly utter the memory of THY great goodness, and shall sing of THY righteousness.

8 The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.

9 The LORD is good to all: and HIS tender mercies are over all HIS works.

10 All THY works shall praise THEE, O LORD; and THY saints shall bless THEE.

11 They shall speak of the glory of THY kingdom, and talk of THY power;

12 To make known to the sons of men HIS mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of HIS kingdom.

13 THY kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and THY dominion endureth throughout all generations.

14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon THEE; and THOU givest them their meat in due season.

16 THOU openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 The LORD is righteous in all HIS ways, and holy in all HIS works.

18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon HIM, to all that call upon HIM in truth.

19 HE will fulfil the desire of them that fear HIM: HE also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The LORD preserveth all them that love HIM: but all the wicked will HE destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless HIS holy name for ever and ever.

💥 John 17 (Reading through the Bible)

 

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee:

² As Thou hast given Him (The Word) power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast given Him.

³ And this is life eternal, that they might know Thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ (The Word), whom Thou hast sent.

⁴ I have glorified Thee on the earth: I have finished the work which Thou gavest Me to do.

⁵ And now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.

⁶ I have manifested Thy name unto the men which Thou gavest me out of the world: Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me; and they have kept Thy word.

⁷ Now they have known that all things whatsoever Thou hast given Me are of Thee.

⁸ For I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from Thee, and they have believed that Thou didst send Me (The Word).


***

⁹ I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine.

¹⁰ And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and I am glorified in them.

(Jesus is glorified in us as we speak The Word, showing the way of God, and showing that given to us by God by HIS Spirit.)

¹¹ And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name (The Word) those whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as we are.

¹² While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Thy name (in The Word): those that Thou gavest Me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

¹³ And now come I to Thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

¹⁴ I have given them Thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁵ I pray not that Thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁷ Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy word is truth.


***

¹⁸ As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

²⁰ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word;

²¹ That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.

²² And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

²³ I (The Word) in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.

²⁴ Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: for Thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world.

²⁵ O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me.

²⁶ And I have declared unto them Thy name (The Word), and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

Where is now thy victory, boasting grave?

Scripture pertaining to this hymn:

Romans 5:5-9     the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.  For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.  For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth HIS love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.

(We didn't shed our blood for our sins, but Jesus shed His blood to pay for our sins ... without shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins  Hebrews 9:22 ... we cannot hope to pay for our sins and our wrong actions by our good works ... only by shed blood are we redeemed from sin and cleansed)

***

Revelation 5:1-14   And I saw in the right hand of HIM that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. 

And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

And HE came and took the book out of the right hand of HIM that sat upon the throne.

And when HE had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, THOU art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for THOU wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by THY blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto HIM that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped HIM that liveth for ever and ever.


***

Luke 24:1-8   Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

(The dead human body decays and stinks. They brought spices to cover the odor of death. But God was not going to suffer the body of Jesus to see corruption as other flesh sees corruption.)

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

HE is not here, but is risen: remember how HE spake unto you when HE was yet in Galilee,

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

And they remembered HIS words,

This Podcast contains Psalm 61 through Psalm 108.

Examples:

Psalm 61

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto THEE, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 For THOU hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

4 I will abide in THY tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of THY wings.

Psalm 62

1 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from HIM cometh my salvation.

2 HE only is my rock and my salvation; HE is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

Psalm 63

(A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.) 

1 O God, THOU art my God; early will I seek THEE: my soul thirsteth for THEE, my flesh longeth for THEE in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

2 To see THY power and THY glory, so as I have seen THEE in the sanctuary.

3 Because THY lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise THEE.

4 Thus will I bless THEE while I live: I will lift up my hands in THY name.

5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise THEE with joyful lips:

6 When I remember THEE upon my bed, and meditate on THEE in the night watches.

7 Because THOU hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of THY wings will I rejoice.

Psalm 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of HIS doing.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in HIM; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Psalm 65

4 Blessed is the man whom THOU choosest, and causest to approach unto THEE, that he may dwell in THY courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of THY house, even of THY holy temple.

Psalm 66

16 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what HE hath done for my soul.

17 I cried unto HIM with my mouth, and HE was extolled with my tongue.

18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me:

19 But verily God hath heard me; HE hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor HIS mercy from me.

Psalm 68

32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; 

33 To HIM that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, HE doth send out HIS voice, and that a mighty voice.

34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: HIS excellency is over Israel, and HIS strength is in the clouds.

35 O God, THOU art terrible out of THY holy places: the God of Israel is HE that giveth strength and power unto HIS people. Blessed be God.

Psalm 69

14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

16 Hear me, O LORD; for THY lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of THY tender mercies.

17 And hide not THY face from THY servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

Psalm 70

4 Let all those that seek THEE rejoice and be glad in THEE: and let such as love THY salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: THOU art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

Psalm 72

18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.

19 And blessed be HIS glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with HIS glory; Amen, and Amen.

20 The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

Psalm 86

(A Prayer of David.) 

1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O THOU my God, save THY servant that trusteth in THEE.

3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto THEE daily.

4 Rejoice the soul of THY servant: for unto THEE, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For THOU, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon THEE.

6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon THEE: for THOU wilt answer me.

💥 John 16 (Reading through the Bible)

 

 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.

² They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

³ And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me (The Word).

⁴ But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

⁵ But now I go my way to Him that sent Me; and none of you asketh Me, Whither goest thou?

⁶ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.

⁷ Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.

⁸ And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

⁹ Of sin, because they believe not on Me (The Word);

¹⁰ Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more;  (after Jesus went to the Father HE would speak by the Holy Spirit to the believer, thus "righteousness" would come to us by The Word carried by the Holy Spirit)

¹¹ Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

¹² I (The Word) have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

¹³ Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.

¹⁴ He shall glorify Me (The Word): for He shall receive of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁵ All things that the Father hath are Mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of Mine, and shall shew it unto you.

¹⁶ A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me, because I go to the Father.

¹⁷ Then said some of His disciples among themselves, What is this that He saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me: and, Because I go to the Father?

¹⁸ They said therefore, What is this that He saith, A little while? we cannot tell what He saith.

¹⁹ Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask Him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see Me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see Me?

²⁰ Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²² And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

(They would have sorrow when Jesus was taken to be crucified.  But after Jesus died and was resurrected and appeared to them before being taken into heaven, they knew no man could ever remove Jesus again from them for by HIS Spirit Jesus lived in them.)


***

²³ And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in My name (by the Word by the will of God), He will give it you.

(I John 5:14-15   And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask any thing according to His will, HE heareth us:  And if we know that HE hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him.)


²⁴ Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.


***

²⁵ These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

²⁶ At that day ye shall ask in My name (according to The Word): and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:  ²⁷ For the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved Me (The Word), and have believed that I came out from God.

²⁸ I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

²⁹ His disciples said unto Him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. ³⁰ Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

³¹ Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?


***

³² Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave Me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

³³ These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me (The Word) ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I (The Word) have overcome the world.

(Through HIM, The Word, we also overcome the world when we hear that Word from the Spirit of God and do it.)

💥 Podcast: Part 4: Psalms of David. (Prayers of David)

 

(This podcast was previously published on, December 3, 2021) 

 

This Podcast contains Psalm 39 through Psalm 60.

Examples:

Psalm 39

1 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred.

3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue,

4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

5 Behold, THOU hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before THEE: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. 

6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

7 And now, Lord, what wait I for? my hope is in THEE.

Psalm 40

1 I waited patiently for the LORD; and HE inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 HE brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3 And HE hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 Many, O LORD my God, are THY wonderful works which THOU hast done, and THY thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto THEE: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

Psalm 41

9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

10 But THOU, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11 By this I know that THOU favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 And as for me, THOU upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before THY face for ever.

13 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

Psalm 52

(A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. I Samuel 22)

1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. 

4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, HE shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. 

6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

9 I will praise THEE for ever, because THOU hast done it: and I will wait on THY name; for it is good before THY saints.

Psalm 54

(A Psalm of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us?) 

1 Save me, O God, by THY name, and judge me by THY strength.

2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth.

3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. 

4 Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.

5 HE shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in THY truth.

6 I will freely sacrifice unto THEE: I will praise THY name, O LORD; for it is good.

7 For HE hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen HIS desire upon mine enemies.

Psalm 55

1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not THYSELF from my supplication.

2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

4 My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.

7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. 

8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

Psalm 56

(A psalm of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.) 

1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.

2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O THOU most High.

3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in THEE.

Psalm 57

(A Psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.) 

1 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in THEE: yea, in the shadow of THY wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

2 I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up.  God shall send forth HIS mercy and HIS truth.

4 My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

5 Be THOU exalted, O God, above the heavens; let THY glory be above all the earth.

Psalm 59

(Psalm of David; when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.)

1 Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.

2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

3 For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.

4 They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

5 THOU therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit (judge)  all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. 

6 They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear?

8 But THOU, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; THOU shalt have all the heathen in derision.

9 Because of his strength will I wait upon THEE: for God is my defence.

10 The God of my mercy shall prevent (go before) me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

11 Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by THY power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

12 For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth.

14 And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.

15 Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied.

16 But I will sing of THY power; yea, I will sing aloud of THY mercy in the morning: for THOU hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Psalm 60

(Psalm of David, to teach; when he strove with Aramnaharaim and with Aramzobah, when Joab returned, and smote of Edom in the valley of salt twelve thousand.)

1 O God, THOU hast cast us off, THOU hast scattered us, THOU hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

2 THOU hast made the earth to tremble; THOU hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.

3 THOU hast shewed THY people hard things: THOU hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.

4 THOU hast given a banner to them that fear THEE, that it may be displayed because of the truth. 

5 That THY beloved may be delivered; save with THY right hand, and hear me.

11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

12 Through God we shall do valiantly: for HE it is that shall tread down our enemies.

💥 John 15 (Reading through the Bible)

 

I (The Word) am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

² Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

³ Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

⁴ Abide in Me (The Word), and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me (in The Word).

⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me (The Word) ye can do nothing.

⁶ If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁷ If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

⁸ Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.

⁹ As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love.

¹⁰ If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.

¹¹ These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

¹² This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

¹³ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴ Ye are My friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

¹⁵ Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of (from) My Father I have made known unto you.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.

¹⁷ These things I command you, that ye love one another.

¹⁸ If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.

¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

²⁰ Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.

If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also.

²¹ But all these things will they do unto you for My name's sake, because they know not Him that sent Me.

²² If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

²³ He that hateth Me hateth My Father also.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father.

²⁵ But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated Me without a cause.

²⁶ But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me:

²⁷ And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning.
