49:1 Hear this, all you peoples.
Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

49:2 both low and high,
rich and poor together.

49:3 My mouth will speak words of wisdom.
My heart shall utter understanding.

49:4 I will incline my ear to a proverb.
I will open my riddle on the harp.

49:5 Why should I fear in the days of evil,
when iniquity at my heels surrounds me?

49:6 Those who trust in their wealth,
and boast in the multitude of their riches—

49:7 none of them can by any means redeem his brother,
nor give God a ransom for him.

49:8 For the redemption of their life is costly,
no payment is ever enough,

49:9 That he should live on forever,
that he should not see corruption.

49:10 For he sees that wise men die;
likewise the fool and the senseless perish,
and leave their wealth to others.

49:11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever,
and their dwelling places to all generations.
They name their lands after themselves.

49:12 But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure.
He is like the animals that perish.

49:13 This is the destiny of those who are foolish,
and of those who approve their sayings.

Selah.

49:14 They are appointed as a flock for Sheol.
Death shall be their shepherd.
The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning.
Their beauty shall decay in Sheol,
far from their mansion.

49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will receive me.

Selah.

49:16 Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich,
when the glory of his house is increased.

49:17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away.
His glory shall not descend after him.

49:18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul—
and men praise you when you do well for yourself—

49:19 he shall go to the generation of his fathers.
They shall never see the light.

49:20 A man who has riches without understanding,
is like the animals that perish.

POD – Psalm 45

Psalm 45

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

45:1 My heart overflows with a noble theme.
I recite my verses for the king.
My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.

45:2 You are the most excellent of the sons of men.
Grace has anointed your lips,
therefore God has blessed you forever.

45:3 Strap your sword on your thigh, mighty one:
your splendor and your majesty.

45:4 In your majesty ride on victoriously on behalf of truth, humility, and righteousness.
Let your right hand display awesome deeds.

45:5 Your arrows are sharp.
The nations fall under you, with arrows in the heart of the king’s enemies.

45:6 Your throne, God, is forever and ever.
A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.

45:7 You have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness.
Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

45:8 All your garments smell like myrrh, aloes, and cassia.
Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made you glad.

45:9 Kings’ daughters are among your honorable women.
At your right hand the queen stands in gold of Ophir.

45:10 Listen, daughter, consider, and turn your ear.
Forget your own people, and also your father’s house.

45:11 So the king will desire your beauty,
honor him, for he is your lord.

45:12 The daughter of Tyre comes with a gift.
The rich among the people entreat your favor.

45:13 The princess inside is all glorious.
Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

45:14 She shall be led to the king in embroidered work.
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to you.

45:15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led.
They shall enter into the king’s palace.

45:16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers.
You shall make them princes in all the earth.

45:17 I will make your name to be remembered in all generations.
Therefore the peoples shall give you thanks forever and ever.

POD – Psalm 44

Psalm 44

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

44:1 We have heard with our ears, God;
our fathers have told us,
what work you did in their days,
in the days of old.

44:2 You drove out the nations with your hand,
but you planted them.
You afflicted the peoples,
but you spread them abroad.

44:3 For they didn’t get the land in possession by their own sword,
neither did their own arm save them;
but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face,
because you were favorable to them.

44:4 You are my King, God.
Command victories for Jacob!

44:5 Through you, will we push down our adversaries.
Through your name, will we tread them under who rise up against us.

44:6 For I will not trust in my bow,
neither shall my sword save me.

44:7 But you have saved us from our adversaries,
and have shamed those who hate us.

44:8 In God we have made our boast all day long,
we will give thanks to your name forever.

Selah.

44:9 But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor,
and don’t go out with our armies.

44:10 You make us turn back from the adversary.
Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.

44:11 You have made us like sheep for food,
and have scattered us among the nations.

44:12 You sell your people for nothing,
and have gained nothing from their sale.

44:13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors,
a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

44:14 You make us a byword among the nations,
a shaking of the head among the peoples.

44:15 All day long my dishonor is before me,
and shame covers my face,

44:16 At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses,
because of the enemy and the avenger.

44:17 All this has come on us,
yet have we not forgotten you,
Neither have we been false to your covenant.

44:18 Our heart has not turned back,
neither have our steps strayed from your path,

44:19 Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals,
and covered us with the shadow of death.

44:20 If we have forgotten the name of our God,
or spread forth our hands to a strange god;

44:21 won’t God search this out?
For he knows the secrets of the heart.

44:22 Yes, for your sake we are killed all day long.
We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.

44:23 Wake up!
Why do you sleep, Lord?
Arise!
Don’t reject us forever.

44:24 Why do you hide your face,
and forget our affliction and our oppression?

44:25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust.
Our body clings to the earth.

44:26 Rise up to help us.
Redeem us for your loving kindness’ sake.

POD – Psalm 42

 

Psalm 42

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

 

42:1 As the deer pants for the water brooks,
so my soul pants after you, God.

42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?

42:3 My tears have been my food day and night,
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

42:4 These things I remember, and pour out my soul within me,
how I used to go with the crowd, and led them to God’s house,
with the voice of joy and praise, a multitude keeping a holy day.

42:5 Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God!
For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence.

42:6 My God, my soul is in despair within me.
Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan,
the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar.

42:7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of your waterfalls.
All your waves and your billows have swept over me.

42:8 Yahweh will command his loving kindness in the daytime.
In the night his song shall be with me:
a prayer to the God of my life.

42:9 I will ask God, my rock, “Why have you forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

42:10 As with a sword in my bones, my adversaries reproach me,
while they continually ask me, “Where is your God?”

42:11 Why are you in despair, my soul?
Why are you disturbed within me?
Hope in God! For I shall still praise him,
the saving help of my countenance, and my God.

POD – Psalm 36

Psalm 36

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

 

36:1 An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked:
“There is no fear of God before his eyes.”

36:2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
too much to detect and hate his sin.

36:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.
He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

36:4 He plots iniquity on his bed.
He sets himself in a way that is not good.
He doesn’t abhor evil.

36:5 Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

36:6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.
Your judgments are like a great deep.
Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

36:7 How precious is your loving kindness, God!
The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

36:8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.
You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

36:9 For with you is the spring of life.
In your light shall we see light.

36:10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you,
your righteousness to the upright in heart.

36:11 Don’t let the foot of pride come against me.
Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

36:12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen.
They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
