For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by the sons of Korah.

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.

For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David.

22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

22:2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

22:3 But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

22:4 Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.

22:5 They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

(as read by Richard A)

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

21:1 The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

21:2 You have given him his heart’s desire, and have not withheld the request of his lips.

Selah.

21:3 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness. You set a crown of fine gold on his head.

21:4 He asked life of you, you gave it to him, even length of days forever and ever.

21:5 His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

21:6 For you make him most blessed forever. You make him glad with joy in your presence.

21:7 For the king trusts in Yahweh. Through the loving kindness of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

21:8 Your hand will find out all of your enemies. Your right hand will find out those who hate you.

21:9 You will make them as a fiery furnace in the time of your anger. Yahweh will swallow them up in his wrath. The fire shall devour them.

21:10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth, their posterity from among the children of men.

21:11 For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

21:12 For you will make them turn their back, when you aim drawn bows at their face.

21:13 Be exalted, Yahweh, in your strength, so we will sing and praise your power.

Psalm 7

(as read by Richard A)

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.

7:1 Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

7:2 lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

7:3 Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

7:4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, if I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

7:5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust.

Selah.

7:6 Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

7:7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

7:8 Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

7:10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

7:11 God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

7:12 If a man doesn’t relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

7:13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

7:14 Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

7:15 He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

7:16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

7:17 I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.

Psalm 12

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician; upon an eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm of David.

12:1 Help, Yahweh; for the godly man ceases. For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

12:2 Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

12:3 May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,

12:4 who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”

12:5 “Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

12:6 The words of Yahweh are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

12:7 You will keep them, Yahweh. You will preserve them from this generation forever.

12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.
