I hope to bless you with: 1) Bible Narration. Audio Bibles are a blessing, but many of them are narrated by a computer! I prefer a real voice, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I offer my voice. 2) Poetry Narration & Song Singing. Christian history is filled with incredibly rich and theologically sound literature, poems, and songs, but have we forgotten them? Let's unearth these poems and hymnals of old; they are masterpieces we would do well to remember. 3) Lifestyle Lessons. Our faith should change every aspect of our lives. Let's explore how this works. Sola Scriptura!

    Psalm 7

    Psalm 7 New American Standard Bible The LORD Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked. A [a]Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD [b]concerning Cush, a Benjamite. 7 O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me, 2 Or he will tear [c]my soul like a lion, [d]Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands, 4 If I have rewarded evil to [e]my friend, Or have plundered [f]him who without cause was my adversary, 5 Let the enemy pursue [g]my soul and overtake [h]it; And let him trample my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. [i]Selah. 6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Yourself [j]for me; You have appointed judgment. 7 Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And over [k]them return on high. 8 The LORD judges the peoples; [l]Vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me. 9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God tries the hearts and [m]minds. 10 My shield is [n]with God, Who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day. 12 If [o]a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and [p]made it ready. 13 He has also prepared [q]for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts. 14 Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood. 15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made. 16 His mischief will return upon his own head, And his violence will descend upon [r]his own pate. 17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

    Psalm 5

    Psalm 5 New American Standard Bible Prayer for Protection from the Wicked. For the choir director; for [a]flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David. 5 Give ear to my words, O LORD, Consider my [b]groaning. 2 Heed the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray. 3 In the morning, O LORD, [c]You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my [d]prayer to You and eagerly watch. 4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness; No evil [e]dwells with You. 5 The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do iniquity. 6 You destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit. 7 But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house, [f]At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You. 8 O LORD, lead me in Your righteousness because of [g]my foes; Make Your way [h]straight before me. 9 There is nothing [i]reliable in [j]what they say; Their inward part is destruction itself. Their throat is an open grave; They [k]flatter with their tongue. 10 Hold them guilty, O God; By their own devices let them fall! In the multitude of their transgressions thrust them out, For they are rebellious against You. 11 But let all who take refuge in You be glad, Let them ever sing for joy; And [l]may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may exult in You. 12 For it is You who blesses the righteous man, O LORD, You surround him with favor as with a shield.

You have [c]relieved me in my distress; Be gracious to me and hear my prayer. 2 O sons of men, how long will my [d]honor become a reproach? How long will you love what is worthless and aim at deception? [e]Selah. 3 But know that the Lord has [f]set apart the godly man for Himself; The Lord hears when I call to Him. 4 [g]Tremble, [h]and do not sin; [i]Meditate in your heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5 Offer [j]the sacrifices of righteousness, And trust in the Lord. 6 Many are saying, “Who will show us any good?” Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord! 7 You have put gladness in my heart, More than when their grain and new wine abound. 8 In peace I will [k]both lie down and sleep, For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.

    Psalm 2

    The Reign of the LORD’S Anointed.   Why are the [a]nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His [b]Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!” 4 He who [c]sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, 6 “But as for Me, I have [d]installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” 7 “I will surely tell of the [e]decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the [f]nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession. 9 ‘You shall [g]break them with a [h]rod of iron, You shall shatter them like [i]earthenware.’” 10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O [j]judges of the earth. 11 [k]Worship the LORD with [l]reverence And rejoice with trembling. 12 [m]Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may [n]soon be kindled.
