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

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.

Psalm 26

26:1 Judge me, Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity. 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.

13:1 How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

13:2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

13:3 Behold, and answer me, Yahweh, my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death;

13:4 Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

13:5 But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

13:6 I will sing to Yahweh, because he has been good to me.
