The Individual Response to God (29 min)

Psalms 16:1-8  A Michtam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust.  2  O my soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You."  3  As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."  4  Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.  5  O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot.  6  The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance.  7  I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.  8  I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.

 

 

Psalms 14:1-7  To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart,"There is no God." They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good.  2  The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God.  3  They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one.  4  Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, Who eat up my people as they eat bread, And do not call on the LORD?  5  There they are in great fear, For God is with the generation of the righteous.  6  You shame the counsel of the poor, But the LORD is his refuge.  7  Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come out of Zion! When the LORD brings back the captivity of His people, Let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad.
