PSALMS 101 and 102


A Psalm of David.


I Will Walk with Integrity

I will sing of steadfast love and justice;

    to you, O Lord, I will make music.

I will ponder the way that is blameless.

    Oh when will you come to me?

I will walk with integrity of heart

    within my house;

I will not set before my eyes

    anything that is worthless.

I hate the work of those who fall away;

    it shall not cling to me.

A perverse heart shall be far from me;

    I will know nothing of evil.

Whoever slanders his neighbour secretly

    I will destroy.

Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart

    I will not endure.

I will look with favour on the faithful in the land,

    that they may dwell with me;

he who walks in the way that is blameless

    shall minister to me.

No one who practices deceit

    shall dwell in my house;

no one who utters lies

    shall continue before my eyes.

Morning by morning I will destroy

    all the wicked in the land,

cutting off all the evildoers

    from the city of the Lord.

Psalm 101 Song by Jason Silver  I Will -song by Jason Silver  - 


-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint 

and pours out his complaint before the Lord.


Do Not Hide Your Face from Me

1

Hear my prayer, O Lord;

let my cry come to you!

Do not hide your face from me

    in the day of my distress!

Incline your ear to me;

    answer me speedily in the day when I call!

For my days pass away like smoke,

    and my bones burn like a furnace.

My heart is struck down like grass and has withered;

    I forget to eat my bread.

Because of my loud groaning

    my bones cling to my flesh.

I am like a desert owl of the wilderness,

    like an owl of the waste places;

I lie awake;

    I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.

All the day my enemies taunt me;

    those who deride me use my name for a curse.

For I eat ashes like bread

    and mingle tears with my drink,

10 

because of your indignation and anger;

    for you have taken me up and thrown me down.

11 

My days are like an evening shadow;

    I wither away like grass.

12 

But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever;

    you are remembered throughout all generations.

13 

You will arise and have pity on Zion;

    it is the time to favour her;

    the appointed time has come.

14 

For your servants hold her stones dear

    and have pity on her dust.

15 

Nations will fear the name of the Lord,

    and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.

16 

For the Lord builds up Zion;

    he appears in his glory;

17 

he regards the prayer of the destitute

    and does not despise their prayer.

18 

Let this be recorded for a generation to come,

    so that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord:

19 

that he looked down from his holy height;

    from heaven the Lord looked at the earth,

20 

to hear the groans of the prisoners,

    to set free those who were doomed to die,

21 

that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord,

    and in Jerusalem his praise,

22 

when peoples gather together,

    and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.

23 

He has broken my strength in midcourse;

    he has shortened my days.

24 

“O my God,” I say, “take me not away

    in the midst of my days—

you whose years endure

    throughout all generations!”

25 

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth,

    and the heavens are the work of your hands.

26 

They will perish, but you will remain;

    they will all wear out like a garment.

You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,

27 

    but you are the same, and your years have no end.

28 

The children of your servants shall dwell secure;

    their offspring shall be established before you.

The Book of REVELATION Chapter Three


Overview: Revelation Ch. 1-11- “The Bible Project”

                               To the Church in Sardis

1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. 4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’


To the Church in Philadelphia

7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

8 “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’


To the Church in Laodicea


14 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. 15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realising that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”

To the Church in Ephesus

1 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lamp-stands. 2 “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lamp-stand from its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’


To the Church in Smyrna


8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.9 “‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’



To the Church in Pergamum

12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword. 13 “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’


To the Church in Thyatira

18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.

19 “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your

works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. 25 Only hold fast what you have until I come. 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, 27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

The Book of REVELATION Chapter One


Overview: Revelation Ch. 1-11- “The Bible Project”


                                       Prologue

1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.


Greeting to the Seven Churches

4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:

Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom,


priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.

8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”


Vision of the Son of Man

9 I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet 11 saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lamp-stands, 13 and in the midst of the lamp-stands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.


17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, 18 and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades. 19 Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this. 20 As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lamp-stands are the seven churches.

Psalm 99 - Winds of Glory | New Wine Music


The Lord Our God Is Holy

The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble!

    He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; 

let the earth quake!

The Lord is great in Zion;

    he is exalted over all the peoples.

Let them praise your great and awesome name!

    Holy is he!

The King in his might loves justice.

    You have established equity;

you have executed justice

    and righteousness in Jacob.

Exalt the Lord our God;

    worship at his footstool!

    Holy is he!

Moses and Aaron were among his priests,

    Samuel also was among those 

who called upon his name.

    They called to the Lord, 

and he answered them.

In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;

    they kept his testimonies

    and the statute that he gave them.

O Lord our God, you answered them;

    you were a forgiving God to them,

    but an avenger of their wrongdoings.

Exalt the Lord our God,

    and worship at his holy mountain;

    for the Lord our God is holy!

A Psalm for giving thanks.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, 

all the earth!

    Serve the Lord with gladness!

    Come into his presence with singing!

Know that the Lord, he is God!

    It is he who made us, and we are his;

    we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

    and his courts with praise!

    Give thanks to him; 

bless his name!

For the Lord is good;

    his steadfast love endures forever,

    and his faithfulness to all generations.

PSALMS 97 and 98

 

Psalm 97 - Ian White
The Lord Reigns

The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;

    let the many coastlands be glad!

Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;

    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

Fire goes before him

    and burns up his adversaries all around.

His lightnings light up the world;

    the earth sees and trembles.

The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,

    before the Lord of all the earth.

The heavens proclaim his righteousness,

    and all the peoples see his glory.

All worshipers of images are put to shame,

    who make their boast in worthless idols;

    worship him, all you gods!

Zion hears and is glad,

    and the daughters of Judah rejoice,

    because of your judgments, O Lord.

For you, O Lord, are most high over all the earth;

    you are exalted far above all gods.

10 

O you who love the Lord, hate evil!

    He preserves the lives of his saints;

    he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 

Light is sown for the righteous,

    and joy for the upright in heart.

12 

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,

    and give thanks to his holy name!

Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord

Oh sing to the Lord a new song,

    for he has done marvellous things!

His right hand and his holy arm

    have worked salvation for him.

The Lord has made known his salvation;

    he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness

    to the house of Israel.

All the ends of the earth have seen

    the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;

    break forth into joyous song and sing praises!

Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,

    with the lyre and the sound of melody!

With trumpets and the sound of the horn

    make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

    the world and those who dwell in it!

Let the rivers clap their hands;

    let the hills sing for joy together

before the Lord, for he comes

    to judge the earth.

He will judge the world with righteousness,

    and the peoples with equity.
