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.

POD - Psalm 50

Psalm 50

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

A Psalm by Asaph.


50:1 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, speaks,
and calls the earth from sunrise to sunset.

50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth.

50:3 Our God comes, and does not keep silent.
A fire devours before him.
It is very stormy around him.

50:4 He calls to the heavens above,
to the earth, that he may judge his people:

50:5 “Gather my saints together to me,
those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.”

50:6 The heavens shall declare his righteousness,
for God himself is judge.

Selah.

50:7 “Hear, my people, and I will speak;
Israel, and I will testify against you.
I am God, your God.

50:8 I don’t rebuke you for your sacrifices.
Your burnt offerings are continually before me.

50:9 I have no need for a bull from your stall,
nor male goats from your pens.

50:10 For every animal of the forest is mine,
and the livestock on a thousand hills.

50:11 I know all the birds of the mountains.
The wild animals of the field are mine.

50:12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

50:13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls,
or drink the blood of goats?

50:14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving.
Pay your vows to the Most High.

50:15 Call on me in the day of trouble.
I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”

50:16 But to the wicked God says,
“What right do you have to declare my statutes,
that you have taken my covenant on your lips,
50:17 since you hate instruction,
and throw my words behind you?

50:18 When you saw a thief, you consented with him,
and have participated with adulterers.

50:19 “You give your mouth to evil.
Your tongue frames deceit.

50:20 You sit and speak against your brother.
You slander your own mother’s son.

50:21 You have done these things, and I kept silent.
You thought that I was just like you.
I will rebuke you, and accuse you in front of your eyes.

50:22 “Now consider this, you who forget God,
lest I tear you into pieces, and there be none to deliver.

50:23 Whoever offers the sacrifice of thanksgiving glorifies me,
and prepares his way so that I will show God’s salvation to him.”

POD - Psalm 40

Psalm 40

Right mouse click to save this Podcast as a MP3.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.


40:1 I waited patiently for Yahweh.
He turned to me, and heard my cry.

40:2 He brought me up also out of a horrible pit,
out of the miry clay.
He set my feet on a rock,
and gave me a firm place to stand.

40:3 He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God.
Many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in Yahweh.

40:4 Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust,
and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

40:5 Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done,
and your thoughts which are toward us.
They can’t be declared back to you.
If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

40:6 Sacrifice and offering you didn’t desire.
You have opened my ears.
You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

40:7 Then I said, “Behold, I have come.
It is written about me in the book in the scroll.

40:8 I delight to do your will, my God.
Yes, your law is within my heart.”

40:9 I have proclaimed glad news of righteousness in the great assembly.
Behold, I will not seal my lips, Yahweh, you know.

40:10 I have not hidden your righteousness within my heart.
I have declared your faithfulness and your salvation.
I have not concealed your loving kindness and your truth from the great assembly.

40:11 Don’t withhold your tender mercies from me, Yahweh.
Let your loving kindness and your truth continually preserve me.

40:12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me.
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up.
They are more than the hairs of my head.
My heart has failed me.

40:13 Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

40:14 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it.
Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

40:15 Let them be desolate by reason of their shame that tell me, “Aha! Aha!”

40:16 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let such as love your salvation say continually, “Let Yahweh be exalted!”

40:17 But I am poor and needy.
May the Lord think about me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Don’t delay, my God.

POD - Psalm 39

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.”
