(as read by Anne A)

For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, “Isn’t David hiding himself among us?”



54:1 Save me, God, by your name.
Vindicate me in your might.

54:2 Hear my prayer, God.
Listen to the words of my mouth.

54:3 For strangers have risen up against me.
Violent men have sought after my soul.
They haven’t set God before them.

Selah.

54:4 Behold, God is my helper.
The Lord is the one who sustains my soul.

54:5 He will repay the evil to my enemies.
Destroy them in your truth.

54:6 With a free will offering, I will sacrifice to you.
I will give thanks to your name, Yahweh, for it is good.

54:7 For he has delivered me out of all trouble.
My eye has seen triumph over my enemies.

Psalm 53

(as read by Jenny)

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Mahalath.” A contemplation by David.


53:1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, and have done abominable iniquity.
There is no one who does good.

53:2 God looks down from heaven on the children of men,
to see if there are any who understood,
who seek after God.

53:3 Every one of them has gone back.
They have become filthy together.
There is no one who does good, no, not one.

53:4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge,
who eat up my people as they eat bread,
and don’t call on God?

53:5 There they were in great fear, where no fear was,
for God has scattered the bones of him who encamps against you.
You have put them to shame,
because God has rejected them.

53:6 Oh that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion!
When God brings back his people from captivity,
then Jacob shall rejoice,
and Israel shall be glad.

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.

30:1 I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

30:2 Yahweh my God, I cried to you,
and you have healed me.

30:3 Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

30:4 Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.

30:5 For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
but joy comes in the morning.

30:6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”

30:7 You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;
but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

30:8 I cried to you, Yahweh.
To Yahweh I made supplication:

30:9 “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth?

30:10 Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
Yahweh, be my helper.”

30:11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

30:12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Psalm 52

(as read by Jenny)

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Abimelech’s house.”


52:1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man?
God’s loving kindness endures continually.

52:2 Your tongue plots destruction,
like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

52:3 You love evil more than good,
lying rather than speaking the truth.

Selah.

52:4 You love all devouring words,
you deceitful tongue.

52:5 God will likewise destroy you forever.
He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent,
and root you out of the land of the living.

Selah.

52:6 The righteous also will see it, and fear,
and laugh at him, saying,

52:7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

52:8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house.
I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

52:9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it.
I will hope in your name, for it is good,
in the presence of your saints.

Psalm 51

(as read by Anne A)

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba.

51:1 Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

51:2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity. Cleanse me from my sin.

51:3 For I know my transgressions. My sin is constantly before me.

51:4 Against you, and you only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight; that you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me.

51:6 Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

51:7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean. Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

51:8 Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

51:9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.

51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me.

51:11 Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your holy Spirit from me.

51:12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

51:13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways. Sinners shall be converted to you.

51:14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation. My tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

51:15 Lord, open my lips. My mouth shall declare your praise.

51:16 For you don’t delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it. You have no pleasure in burnt offering.

51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

51:18 Do well in your good pleasure to Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.

51:19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burnt offerings and in whole burnt offerings. Then they will offer bulls on your altar.

From Skeptic to Salvation

Baptism Testimony.

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3

Hello my name is Richard. I have been asked to record the words of my testimony as I read them out at my Baptism in June 2009. Before I read my testimony at my Baptism, I said a short prayer. I shall start by saying the same prayer now.

Heavenly Father, Almighty God, please hear my prayer. Please give me now the strength, ability, and most of all, the humility, through your Holy Spirit, to say what I want to read out to this congregation, as you would want me to read and say it Lord. Please allow me to keep control of myself, and my emotions, whilst doing so. I stand humbly before you Lord God, and before your beloved Son, Christ Jesus.

Amen.

Before I speak out my Testimony to you, I wish to thank "all of you" for coming here this evening.

I especially wish to thank the fellowship of Poulner Baptist Chapel ( The Church On The Hill ) for all their prayers, kindness and care shown to me over the past months, of what has been, for me, a difficult time.

I praise the Lord for Dave Roberts, for his help and support, and his World Wide connections through ParTake Ministries and his wonderful Web-Site. Because of Dave and his Web-Site, I have received, e-mail prayers from Christians all over the world, which have given me great heart and comfort. So much so, that they have made me cry with joy. I think whenever I re-read them they will always do so.

It is due and down to Dave Roberts, that I am standing here today being Baptised.

I wish to give a special thanks to Jeremy Andrews " Pastor " Jeremy from my previous chapel who, through kindness and no small sacrifice to himself, and to his own Church and Fellowship, has come here this evening to Baptise me with Adam. Thank you my Christian friend Jeremy.

POD - Psalm 49

Psalm 49

(as read by Anne A)

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.

POD - Psalm 22

Psalm 22

(as read by Katherine D)

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

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.

22:6 But I am a worm, and no man;
a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

22:7 All those who see me mock me.
They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

22:8 “He trusts in Yahweh;
let him deliver him.
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”

22:9 But you brought me out of the womb.
You made me trust at my mother’s breasts.

22:10 I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb.
You are my God since my mother bore me.

22:11 Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near.
For there is none to help.

22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

22:13 They open their mouths wide against me,
lions tearing prey and roaring.

22:14 I am poured out like water.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
it is melted within me.

22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death.

22:16 For dogs have surrounded me.
A company of evildoers have enclosed me.
They have pierced my hands and feet.

22:17 I can count all of my bones.
They look and stare at me.

22:18 They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing.

22:19 But don’t be far off, Yahweh.
You are my help: hurry to help me.

22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog.

22:21 Save me from the lion’s mouth!
Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.

22:22 I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the assembly, I will praise you.

22:23 You who fear Yahweh, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,
Neither has he hidden his face from him;
but when he cried to him, he heard.

22:25 Of you comes my praise in the great assembly.
I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

22:26 The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever.

22:27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh.
All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

22:28 For the kingdom is Yahweh’s.
He is the ruler over the nations.

22:29 All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship.
All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,
even he who can’t keep his soul alive.

22:30 Posterity shall serve him.
Future generations shall be told about the Lord.

22:31 They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,
for he has done it.

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.

Have you ever noticed that chocolate melts under pressure & heat? If you haven't, take a piece of chocolate and hold it between your fingers! It will soon melt! If you are a Christian, you need to be active in your local church so that you don't melt under pressure and you will remain firm in your faith! Otherwise you will be a chocolate Christian who easily gives up under the stress and pressure of every day life!

At a church local to where you live, you are needed regardless of who you are!

Perhaps this is you?

• Interested observer but not a committed Christian


• Not bothered


• Not good enough


• Just want to be left alone


• Don't know how to be involved

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.

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.

Psalm 9

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

9:1 I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart.
I will tell of all your marvelous works.

9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in you.
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

9:3 When my enemies turn back,
they stumble and perish in your presence.

9:4 For you have maintained my just cause.
You sit on the throne judging righteously.

9:5 You have rebuked the nations.
You have destroyed the wicked.
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

9:6 The enemy is overtaken by endless ruin.
The very memory of the cities which you have overthrown has perished.

9:7 But Yahweh reigns forever.
He has prepared his throne for judgment.

9:8 He will judge the world in righteousness.
He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9:9 Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed;
a high tower in times of trouble.

9:10 Those who know your name will put their trust in you,
for you, Yahweh, have not forsaken those who seek you.

9:11 Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion,
and declare among the people what he has done.

9:12 For he who avenges blood remembers them.
He doesn’t forget the cry of the afflicted.

9:13 Have mercy on me, Yahweh.
See my affliction by those who hate me,
and lift me up from the gates of death;

9:14 that I may show forth all your praise.
In the gates of the daughter of Zion, I will rejoice in your salvation.

9:15 The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made.
In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

9:16 Yahweh has made himself known.
He has executed judgment.
The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.

Meditation. Selah.

9:17 The wicked shall be turned back to Sheol,
even all the nations that forget God.

9:18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten,
nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

9:19 Arise, Yahweh! Don’t let man prevail.
Let the nations be judged in your sight.

9:20 Put them in fear, Yahweh.
Let the nations know that they are only men.

Selah.

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.

POD - Psalm 44

Psalm 44

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.

In the congregations I will bless Yahweh.
