Episode 05 Psalm 139: Walking with the One Who Knows You

Have you ever noticed how music has the power to transform a moment? Whether it’s a song of celebration, comfort, or gratitude, music connects us to something more profound. Psalm 100 is like a divine soundtrack—a call to make a joyful noise, to enter God’s presence with singing, and to live with hearts overflowing with gratitude.   I am your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, let’s explore how this Psalm invites us to live with joy, not just on the good days, but every day. Let’s listen to the words of Psalm 100, imagining it as a song of worship rising up to God.” ‘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.’

Hey friends, Welcome to our podcast ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I am your host Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD I want to ask you a question today.   Have you ever stood at the base of a hill or a mountain, looking up, feeling the weight of the climb ahead?   Life often feels like that—steep, overwhelming, and uncertain.   Today, we’re stepping into Psalm 121, a song for the journey, a promise that no matter how daunting the climb, we have help.   This isn’t just any help—it’s the help of the One who made the hills, the valleys, and the earth beneath our feet. So, let’s start climbing together.   Close your eyes for a moment and imagine this:   You’re standing at the base of a long, winding trail. The sun is warm on your face, but the path ahead looks steep and endless. Your heart feels heavy—not just from the climb but from your burdens. You lift your eyes to the hills and whisper, ‘Where will my help come from?’   And then, as if carried on the breeze, you hear a voice saying this to you: I lift up my eyes to the hills— from where does your help come? Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.’

Welcome back to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I am your host Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD. Today, we’re exploring Psalm 34, which calls us to bless the Lord in good times and at all times. Gratitude is easy when life is smooth, but what about when it’s not? This Psalm challenges us to live with a heart of constant thanksgiving, rooted in trust that God is always at work, even in the challenging moments. Let’s discover how we can carry a song of gratitude through every season of life.” Let’s hear the opening verses of Psalm 34, imagining these words as a personal anthem of praise. ‘I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!’ Psalm 34 begins with a bold statement: ‘I will bless the Lord at all times.’ Not just when life is good or when we feel like praising, but in every season—joyful or challenging, peaceful or chaotic. This kind of gratitude doesn’t come naturally; focusing on God’s goodness is a choice, even when life feels heavy.

Psalm 51: A Prayer for a New Beginning “Welcome back to season 5 of  ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ Today, we’re diving into the fourth episode, a deeply personal and raw Psalm that speaks of repentance, renewal, and hope for a fresh start. I am your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today we delve into Psalm 51 Psalm 51 is David’s heartfelt prayer of repentance after the prophet Nathan confronted him regarding his sins of adultery with Bathsheba and the murder of her husband, Uriah. It’s a powerful example of confession, repentance, and a plea for restoration. This Psalm reflects David’s contrition after realizing the gravity of his sins. In ancient Israel, sin was understood as a breach in the relationship with God and the community, and repentance was seen as a path to restore that relationship.   The key themes are repentance and renewal. David acknowledges his sin, appeals to God’s mercy, and asks for a clean heart. There’s a deep desire for transformation, not just forgiveness, as David asks for a renewed spirit.
