PSALM 91

Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord.

1 He who dwells in the ashelter of the Most High

Will abide in the bshadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord, “My arefuge and my bfortress,

My God, in whom I ctrust!”

3 For it is He who delivers you from the asnare of the trapper

And from the deadly bpestilence.

4 He will acover you with His pinions,

And bunder His wings you may seek refuge;

His cfaithfulness is a dshield and bulwark.

5 You awill not be afraid of the bterror by night,

Or of the carrow that flies by day;

6 Of the apestilence that 1stalks in darkness,

Or of the bdestruction that lays waste at noon.

7 A thousand may fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But ait shall not approach you.

8 You will only look on with your eyes

And asee the recompense of the wicked.

9 1For you have made the Lord, amy refuge,

Even the Most High, byour dwelling place.

10 aNo evil will befall you,

Nor will any plague come near your 1tent.

11 For He will give aHis angels charge concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

12 They will abear you up in their hands,

That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will atread upon the lion and cobra,

The young lion and the 1serpent you will trample down.

14 “aBecause he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will bset him securely on high, because he has cknown My name.

15 “He will acall upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in 1trouble;

I will rescue him and bhonor him.

16 “With 1a along life I will satisfy him

And 2blet him see My salvation.”

PSALM 92

Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.

A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.

1 It is agood to give thanks to the Lord

And to bsing praises to Your name, O Most High;

2 To adeclare Your lovingkindness in the morning

And Your bfaithfulness 1by night,

3 1With the aten-stringed lute and 1with the aharp,

1With resounding music 2upon the alyre.

4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by 1what You ahave done,

I will bsing for joy at the cworks of Your hands.

5 How agreat are Your works, O Lord!

Your 1bthoughts are very cdeep.

6 A asenseless man has no knowledge,

Nor does a astupid man understand this:

7 That when the wicked asprouted up like grass

And all bwho did iniquity flourished,

It was only that they might be cdestroyed forevermore.

8 But You, O Lord, are aon high forever.

9 For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,

For, behold, aYour enemies will perish;

All who do iniquity will be bscattered.

10 But You have exalted my ahorn like that of the wild ox;

I have 1been banointed with fresh oil.

11 And my eye has alooked exultantly upon 1my foes,

My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

12 The arighteous man will 1flourish like the palm tree,

He will grow like a bcedar in Lebanon.

13 aPlanted in the house of the Lord,

They will flourish bin the courts of our God.

14 They will still 1ayield fruit in old age;

They shall be 2full of sap and very green,

15 To 1declare that athe Lord is upright;

He is my brock, and there is cno unrighteousness in Him.

PSALM 93

The Majesty of the Lord.

1 aThe Lord 1reigns, He is bclothed with majesty;

The Lord has cclothed and girded Himself with strength;

Indeed, the dworld is firmly established, it will not be moved.

2 Your athrone is established from of old;

You bare from everlasting.

3 The afloods have lifted up, O Lord,

The floods have lifted up their voice,

The floods lift up their pounding waves.

4 More than the sounds of many waters,

Than the mighty breakers of the sea,

The Lord aon high is mighty.

5 Your atestimonies are fully confirmed;

bHoliness befits Your house,

O Lord, 1forevermore.

PSALM 94

The Lord Implored to Avenge His People.

1 O Lord, God of 1avengeance,

God of 1vengeance, 2bshine forth!

2 aRise up, O bJudge of the earth,

Render recompense cto the proud.

3 How long shall the wicked, O Lord,

How long shall the awicked exult?

4 They pour forth words, they aspeak arrogantly;

All who do wickedness bvaunt themselves.

5 They acrush Your people, O Lord,

And bafflict Your heritage.

6 They aslay the widow and the 1stranger

And murder the orphans.

7 aThey have said, “1The Lord does not see,

Nor does the God of Jacob pay heed.”

8 Pay heed, you asenseless among the people;

And when will you understand, astupid ones?

9 He who aplanted the ear, 1does He not hear?

He who formed the eye, 1does He not see?

10 He who 1achastens the nations, will He not rebuke,

Even He who bteaches man knowledge?

11 The Lord aknows the thoughts of man,

1That they are a mere breath.

12 Blessed is the man whom aYou chasten, O 1Lord,

And bwhom You teach out of Your law;

13 That You may grant him arelief from the bdays of adversity,

Until ca pit is dug for the wicked.

14 For athe Lord will not abandon His people,

Nor will He bforsake His inheritance.

15 For 1ajudgment 2will again be righteous,

And all the upright in heart 3will follow it.

16 Who will astand up for me against evildoers?

Who will take his stand for me bagainst those who do wickedness?

17 If athe Lord had not been my help,

My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

18 If I should say, “aMy foot has slipped,”

Your lovingkindness, O Lord, will hold me up.

19 When my anxious thoughts 1multiply within me,

Your aconsolations delight my soul.

20 Can a 1athrone of destruction be allied with You,

One bwhich devises 2mischief by decree?

21 They aband themselves together against the 1life of the righteous

And bcondemn 2the innocent to death.

22 But the Lord has been my astronghold,

And my God the brock of my refuge.

23 He has abrought back their wickedness upon them

And will 1bdestroy them in their evil;

The Lord our God will 1destroy them.

PSALM 95

Praise to the Lord, and Warning against Unbelief.

1 O come, let us asing for joy to the Lord,

Let us shout joyfully to bthe rock of our salvation.

2 Let us acome before His presence bwith 1thanksgiving,

Let us shout joyfully to Him cwith 2psalms.

3 For the Lord is a agreat God

And a great King babove all gods,

4 In whose hand are the adepths of the earth,

The peaks of the mountains are His also.

5 1The sea is His, for it was He awho made it,

And His hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us aworship and bow down,

Let us bkneel before the Lord our cMaker.

7 For He is our God,

And awe are the people of His 1bpasture and the sheep of His hand.

cToday, 2if you would hear His voice,

8 Do not harden your hearts, as at 1aMeribah,

As in the day of 2bMassah in the wilderness,

9 “When your fathers atested Me,

They tried Me, though they had seen My work.

10 “For aforty years I loathed that generation,

And said they are a people who err in their heart,

And they do not know My ways.

11 “Therefore I aswore in My anger,

Truly they shall not enter into My brest.”
