Psalm 91
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide
under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his
truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for
the arrow that flieth by day;
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for
the destruction that wasteth at
noonday.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even
the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon
shalt thou trample under feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honour him.
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Psalm 92 - A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises
unto thy name, O Most High:
To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon
the harp with a solemn sound.
For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will
triumph in the works of thy hands.
O Lord, how great are thy works!
and thy thoughts are very deep.
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of
iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
For,
lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the
workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I
shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears
shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall
grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish
in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is
no unrighteousness in him.
Psalm
93
The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed
with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is
stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their
voice; the floods lift up their waves.
The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea,
than the mighty waves of the sea.
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.
Psalm
94
O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom
vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
How long shall they utter and speak hard things?
and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?
he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until
the pit be digged for the wicked.
For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the
upright in heart shall follow it.
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee,
which frameth mischief by a law?
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent blood.
But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them
off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
Psalm 95.
O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise
to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a
joyful noise unto him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth:
the strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
To day if ye will hear his voice,
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day
of temptation in the wilderness:
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a
people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
