Psalm 49

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.

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.

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.

Psalm 42

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.

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.

32:1 Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven,
whose sin is covered.

32:2 Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity,
in whose spirit there is no deceit.

32:3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

32:4 For day and night your hand was heavy on me.
My strength was sapped in the heat of summer.

Selah.

32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you.
I didn’t hide my iniquity.
I said, I will confess my transgressions to Yahweh,
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

Selah.

32:6 For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found.
Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

32:7 You are my hiding place.
You will preserve me from trouble.
You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

Selah.

32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go.
I will counsel you with my eye on you.

32:9 Don’t be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding,
who are controlled by bit and bridle, or else they will not come near to you.

32:10 Many sorrows come to the wicked,
but loving kindness shall su

32:11 Be glad in Yahweh, and rejoice, you righteous!
Shout for joy, all you who are upright in heart!

Psalm 28

28:1 To you, Yahweh, I call.
My rock, don’t be deaf to me;
lest, if you are silent to me,
I would become like those who go down into the pit.

28:2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you,
when I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

28:3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked,
with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors,
but mischief is in their hearts.

28:4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings.
Give them according to the operation of their hands.
Bring back on them what they deserve.

28:5 Because they don’t respect the works of Yahweh,
nor the operation of his hands,
he will break them down and not build them up.

28:6 Blessed be Yahweh,
because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

28:7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield.
My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices.
With my song I will thank him.

28:8 Yahweh is their strength.
He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

28:9 Save your people,
and bless your inheritance.
Be their shepherd also,
and bear them up forever.

I have trusted also in Yahweh without wavering.

26:2 Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me.
Try my heart and my mind.

26:3 For your loving kindness is before my eyes.
I have walked in your truth.

26:4 I have not sat with deceitful men,
neither will I go in with hypocrites.

26:5 I hate the assembly of evildoers,
and will not sit with the wicked.

26:6 I will wash my hands in innocence,
so I will go about your altar, Yahweh;

26:7 that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard,
and tell of all your wondrous works.

26:8 Yahweh, I love the habitation of your house,
the place where your glory dwells.

26:9 Don’t gather my soul with sinners,
nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

26:10 in whose hands is wickedness,
their right hand is full of bribes.

26:11 But as for me, I will walk in my integrity.
Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

26:12 My foot stands in an even place.
In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.

May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high,

Let the King answer us when we call!
