71:1 In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.

71:2 Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.

71:3 Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

71:4 Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

71:5 For you are my hope, Lord Yahweh; my confidence from my youth.

71:6 I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.

71:7 I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.

71:8 My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all the day.

71:9 Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

71:10 For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,

71:11 saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”

71:12 God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

71:13 Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.

71:14 But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.

71:15 My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I don’t know its full measure.

71:16 I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

71:17 God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.

71:18 Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

71:19 Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; you have done great things. God, who is like you?

71:20 You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.

71:21 Increase my honor, and comfort me again.

71:22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

71:23 My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!

71:24 My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.

Psalm 62

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. To Jeduthan. A Psalm by David.

62:1 My soul rests in God alone. My salvation is from him.

62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress— I will never be greatly shaken.

62:3 How long will you assault a man, would all of you throw him down, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

62:4 They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

Selah. 62:5 My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from him.

62:6 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

62:7 With God is my salvation and my honor. The rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.

62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

vSelah.

62:9 Surely men of low degree are just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.

62:10 Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

62:11 God has spoken once; twice I have heard this, that power belongs to God.

62:12 Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

Psalm 60

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “The Lily of the Covenant.” A teaching poem by David, when he fought with Aram Naharaim and with Aram Zobah, and Joab returned, and killed twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt.

60:1 God, you have rejected us. You have broken us down. You have been angry. Restore us, again.

60:2 You have made the land tremble. You have torn it. Mend its fractures, for it quakes.

60:3 You have shown your people hard things. You have made us drink the wine that makes us stagger.

60:4 You have given a banner to those who fear you, that it may be displayed because of the truth.

Selah.

60:5 So that your beloved may be delivered, save with your right hand, and answer us.

60:6 God has spoken from his sanctuary: “I will triumph. I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.

60:7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine. Ephraim also is the defense of my head. Judah is my scepter.

60:8 Moab is my wash basin. I will throw my shoe on Edom. I shout in triumph over Philistia.”

60:9 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who has led me to Edom?

60:10 Haven’t you, God, rejected us? You don’t go out with our armies, God.

60:11 Give us help against the adversary, for the help of man is vain.

60:12 Through God we shall do valiantly, for it is he who will tread down our adversaries.

Psalm 57

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A poem by David, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

57:1 Be merciful to me, God, be merciful to me, for my soul takes refuge in you. Yes, in the shadow of your wings, I will take refuge, until disaster has passed.

57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who accomplishes my requests for me.

57:3 He will send from heaven, and save me, he rebukes the one who is pursuing me.

Selah.

God will send out his loving kindness and his truth.

57:4 My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

57:5 Be exalted, God, above the heavens! Let your glory be above all the earth!

57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps. My soul is bowed down. They dig a pit before me. They fall into its midst themselves.

Selah.

57:7 My heart is steadfast, God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises.

57:8 Wake up, my glory! Wake up, psaltery and harp! I will wake up the dawn.

57:9 I will give thanks to you, Lord, among the peoples. I will sing praises to you among the nations.

57:10 For your great loving kindness reaches to the heavens, and your truth to the skies.

57:11 Be exalted, God, above the heavens. Let your glory be over all the earth.

Psalm 39

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.

39:1 I said, “I will watch my ways, so that I don’t sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me.”

39:2 I was mute with silence. I held my peace, even from good. My sorrow was stirred.

39:3 My heart was hot within me. While I meditated, the fire burned: I spoke with my tongue:

39:4 “Yahweh, show me my end, what is the measure of my days. Let me know how frail I am.

39:5 Behold, you have made my days handbreadths. My lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely every man stands as a breath.”

Selah.

39:6 “Surely every man walks like a shadow. Surely they busy themselves in vain. He heaps up, and doesn’t know who shall gather.

39:7 Now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.

39:8 Deliver me from all my transgressions. Don’t make me the reproach of the foolish.

39:9 I was mute. I didn’t open my mouth, because you did it.

39:10 Remove your scourge away from me. I am overcome by the blow of your hand.

39:11 When you rebuke and correct man for iniquity, You consume his wealth like a moth. Surely every man is but a breath.”

Selah.

39:12 “Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

39:13 Oh spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go away, and exist no more.”

Psalm 27

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

By David.

27:1 Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

27:2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.

27:3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.

27:4 One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of Yahweh all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

27:5 For in the day of trouble he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the covert of his tabernacle he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

27:6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to Yahweh.

27:7 Hear, Yahweh, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.

27:8 When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, Yahweh.”

27:9 Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up.

27:11 Teach me your way, Yahweh. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.

27:12 Don’t deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.

27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

27:14 Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.

Psalm 55

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David. ?”

55:1 Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

55:2 Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,

55:3 Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.

55:4 My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.

55:5 Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.

55:6 I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.

55:7 Behold, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness.”

Selah.

55:8 “I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”

55:9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

55:10 Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.

55:11 Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her streets.

55:12 For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.

55:13 But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.

55:14 We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with company.

55:15 Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in their midst.

55:16 As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.

55:17 Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.

55:18 He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.

55:19 God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and answer them.

Selah.

They never change, who don’t fear God.

55:20 He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated his covenant.

55:21 His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

55:22 Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

55:23 But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
