Psalm 91–93

Psalm 91

¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in whom I trust.

³For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the deadly pestilence.

⁴He will cover thee with his pinions,

And under his wings shalt thou take refuge:

His truth is a shield and a buckler.

⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night,

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶For the pestilence that walketh in darkness,

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side,

And ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold,

And see the reward of the wicked.

⁹For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge!

Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation;

¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

¹¹For he will give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot.

¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble:

I will deliver him, and honor him.

¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him,

And show him my salvation.

Psalm 92

A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day.

¹It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah,

And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;

²To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,

And thy faithfulness every night,

³With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery;

With a solemn sound upon the harp.

⁴For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work:

I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

⁵How great are thy works, O Jehovah!

Thy thoughts are very deep.

⁶A brutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth a fool understand this:

⁷When the wicked spring as the grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

⁸But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

⁹For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah,

For, lo, thine enemies shall perish;

All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

¹⁰But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox:

I am anointed with fresh oil.

¹¹Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies,

Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree:

He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³They are planted in the house of Jehovah;

They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;

They shall be full of sap and green:

¹⁵To show that Jehovah is upright;

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psalm 93

¹Jehovah reigneth;

He is clothed with majesty;

Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith:

The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

²Thy throne is established of old:

Thou art from everlasting.

³The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah,

The floods have lifted up their voice;

The floods lift up their waves.

⁴Above the voices of many waters,

The mighty breakers of the sea,

Jehovah on high is mighty.

⁵Thy testimonies are very sure:

Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore.
