We All Need To Listen

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:  Both low and high, rich and poor, together.  My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.   I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.   Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, when the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about?

Psalm 49:1-5

The Meek Will Inherit The Earth

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.  For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.  For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Psalm 37:8-11

But As For Me…

They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.   But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.  I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.   But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:  With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Psalm 35:12-16

The LORD My Helper

A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.

I will extol Thee, O LORD; for Thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou hast healed me.  O LORD, Thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness.  For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.  And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

LORD, by Thy favour Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide Thy face, and I was troubled.  I cried to Thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? Shall it declare Thy truth?

Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be Thou my helperThou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;  To the end that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.

Psalm 30:1-12

ALL THE PATHS

The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach His way.  All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

For Thy name’s sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great.   What man is he that feareth the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose.   His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.  The secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and He will shew them His covenant.

Psalm 25:9-14

The LORD Who Is Worthy

I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.  The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. 

I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.  The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.  In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears… 

Psalm 18:1-6

I Will Sing…

How long wilt Thou forget me, O LORD, for ever? How long wilt Thou hide Thy face from me?  How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;  Lest mine enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.  But I have trusted in Thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

I will sing unto the LORD, because He hath dealt bountifully with me.

Psalm 13:1-6

Dwelling In Safety

Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: Thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto Him.  Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. There be many that say, “Who will shew us any good?” LORD, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance upon us.

Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.  I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for Thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Psalm 4:1-8

Wisdom For Kings, Princes, and For All

 The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him.

“What, my son? and what, the son of my womb? and what, the son of my vows?

  “Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink:  Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.”

“Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.  Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.  Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.  Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.”

Proverbs 31:1-9

The Mad Man

As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death,  So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, “Am not I in sport?”  Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.   The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Proverbs 27:18-22

Living With and Loving Our Neighbors

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.   Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:  Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.

Proverbs 25:8-10

He That Ponders The Heart

If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.

If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;   If thou sayest, “Behold, we knew it not;” doth not He that pondereth the heart consider, and He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know, and shall not He render to every man according to his works?

Proverbs 24:10-12

Wounds Without Cause

Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes?   They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.   Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.   At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.   Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.   Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.   They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Proverbs 23:29-35

Finding Life, Righteousness, and Honor

 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy findeth life, righteousness, and honour.   A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, and casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.  Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.  The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.

Proverbs 21:21-26

Words for Living Life

When the wicked cometh, then cometh also contempt, and with ignominy reproach.

The words of a man’s mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook.

It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.

A fool’s lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes.  A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

Proverbs 18:3 – 7

Justifies

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

Proverbs 17:15

I  believe that this going on in homes, schools, government agencies and courts of the United States of America..  I am praying for the exposure of these things.  We need, as a nation. to turn back to God through the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the only hope for the U.S. of A. and the rest of the world.

THE EYES OF THE LORD

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.   The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.   The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

Proverbs 15:1-3

Hear These Words Of Wisdom

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.

The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.

A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

Proverbs 14:12-16

The Light of the Righteous Rejoices

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.  The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.   The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.   Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.   Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.  Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life…

Proverbs 13:7-12

Delivery From Death

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.  Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but He casteth away the substance of the wicked.

Proverbs 10:1-3

Wisdom Speaks: Forsake the Foolish and Live

She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,  Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,   “Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.  Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Proverbs 9:3-6
