Psalm 91–93

PSALM 91

Security of the One Who Trusts in the Lord.

¹He who dwells in the ^ashelter of the Most High

Will abide in the ^bshadow of the Almighty.

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

My God, in whom I ^ctrust!”

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

And from the deadly ^bpestilence.

⁴He will ^acover you with His pinions,

And ^bunder His wings you may seek refuge;

His ^cfaithfulness is a ^dshield and bulwark.

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

Or of the ^carrow that flies by day;

⁶Of the ^apestilence that ¹stalks in darkness,

Or of the ^bdestruction that lays waste at noon.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand,

But ^ait shall not approach you.

⁸You will only look on with your eyes

And ^asee the recompense of the wicked.

⁹¹For you have made the Lord, ^amy refuge,

Even the Most High, ^byour dwelling place.

^10aNo evil will befall you,

Nor will any plague come near your ¹tent.

¹¹For He will give ^aHis angels charge concerning you,

To guard you in all your ways.

¹²They will ^abear you up in their hands,

That you do not strike your foot against a stone.

¹³You 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.

¹It is ^agood to give thanks to the Lord

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

²To ^adeclare Your lovingkindness in the morning

And Your ^bfaithfulness ¹by night,

³¹With the ^aten-stringed lute and with the harp,

With resounding music ²upon the lyre.

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

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

⁵How ^agreat are Your works, O Lord!

Your ^1bthoughts are very ^cdeep.

⁶A ^asenseless man has no knowledge,

Nor does a stupid man understand this:

⁷That when the wicked ^asprouted up like grass

And all ^bwho did iniquity flourished,

It was only that they might be ^cdestroyed forevermore.

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

⁹For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,

For, behold, ^aYour enemies will perish;

All who do iniquity will be ^bscattered.

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

I have ¹been ^banointed with fresh oil.

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

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

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

He will grow like a ^bcedar in Lebanon.

^13aPlanted in the house of the Lord,

They will flourish ^bin the courts of our God.

¹⁴They will still ^1ayield fruit in old age;

They shall be ²full of sap and very green,

¹⁵To ¹declare that ^athe Lord is upright;

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

PSALM 93

The Majesty of the Lord.

^1aThe 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.

²Your ^athrone is established from of old;

You ^bare from everlasting.

³The ^afloods have lifted up, O Lord,

The floods have lifted up their voice,

The floods lift up their pounding waves.

⁴More than the sounds of many waters,

Than the mighty breakers of the sea,

The Lord ^aon high is mighty.

⁵Your ^atestimonies are fully confirmed;

^bHoliness befits Your house,

O Lord, ¹forevermore.
