Henry: Welcome To Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day three hundred and seven.
The Psalms book four Psalms 90 through 106, Psalm 90 a Prayer
of Moses, the Man of God.
Lord, through all the generations you have been our home before
the mountains were born.
Before you gave birth to the earth and the world from beginning to end, you are God.
You turn people back to dust saying return to dust.
You mortals.
For you a thousand years are as a passing day, as brief as a few night hours.
You sweep people away like dreams that disappear.
They're like grass that springs up in the morning.
In the morning, it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.
We wither beneath your anger.
We are overwhelmed by your fury.
You spread out our sins before you, our secret sins, and you see them all.
We live our lives beneath your wrath.
Ending.
Our years with a groan, 70 years are given to us.
Somem even live to 80, but even the best years are filled with pain and trouble.
Soon they disappear and we fly away.
Who can comprehend the power of your anger?
Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.
Teach us to realize the brevity of life so that we may grow in wisdom.
Oh Lord, come back to us.
How long will you delay?
Take pity on your servants.
Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love.
So we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.
Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery.
Replace the evil years with good.
Let us your servants see you work again.
Let our children see your glory.
And may the Lord our God show us his approval and make our efforts successful.
Yes, make our efforts successful.
Psalm 91, those who live in the shelter of the most high will find
rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
This I declare about the Lord.
He alone is my refuge.
My place of safety, he is my God and I trust him for He will
rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.
He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the
arrow that flies in the day.
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster that strikes
at midday though a thousand fall at your side, though 10,000 are dying around you.
These evils will not touch you.
Just open your eyes and see how the wicked are punished.
If you make the Lord your refuge, if you make the most high, your
shelter no evil will conquer you.
No plague will come near your home for.
He will order his angels to protect you wherever you go.
They will hold you up with their hands so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone,
you will trample upon lions and cobras.
You will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet.
The Lord says, I will rescue those who love me.
I will protect those who trust in my name.
When they call on me, I will answer.
I will be with them in trouble.
I will rescue and honor them.
I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.
Psalm 92, a Psalm, a song to be sung on the Sabbath day.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord to sing praises to the most high.
It is good to proclaim your unveiling love in the morning.
Your faithfulness in the evening, accompanied by a 10 stringed instrument,
a harp, and the melody of a liar.
You thrill me Lord, with all you have done for me.
I sing for joy because of what you have done.
Oh, Lord, what great works you do and how deep are your thoughts?
Only a simpleton would not know.
And only a fool would not understand this.
Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evil doers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
But you oh Lord, will be exalted forever.
Your enemies Lord will surely perish.
All evil doers will be scattered.
But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies.
My ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
But the Godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong
like the cedars of Lebanon.
For they are transplanted to the Lord's own house.
They flourish and the courts of our God, even in old age,
they will still produce fruit.
They will remain vital and green.
They will declare the Lord is just, he is my rock.
There is no evil in him.
Psalm 93, the Lord is king.
He is robed in majesty.
Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength.
The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
Your throne, oh Lord, has stood from time immemorial.
You yourself are from the everlasting past.
The floods have risen up.
Oh Lord.
The floods have roared like thunder.
The floods have lifted their pounding waves, but mightier than
the violent raging of the seas.
Mightier than the breakers on the shore.
The Lord above is mightier than these.
Your royal laws cannot be changed.
Your reign, oh Lord, is holy forever and ever.
Psalm 94, oh Lord, the God of vengeance.
Oh God of vengeance.
Let your glorious justice shine forth.
Arise o judge of the earth, give the proud what they deserve.
How long, oh Lord.
How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
How long will they speak with arrogance?
How long will these evil people boast they crush your people, Lord,
hurting those you claim as your own.
They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.
The Lord isn't looking.
They say, and besides the God of Israel doesn't care.
Think again, you fools.
When will you finally catch on?
Is he deaf?
The one who made your ears?
Is he blind?
The one who formed your eyes?
He punishes the nations.
Won't he also punish you?
He knows everything.
Doesn't he also know what you are doing?
The Lord knows people's thoughts.
He knows they are worthless.
Joyful are those you discipline, Lord, those you teach with your instructions.
You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug to capture the wicked.
The Lord will not reject his people.
He will not abandon his special possession.
Judgment will again be founded on justice and those with
virtuous hearts will pursue it.
Who will protect me from the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against evil doers?
Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled
in the silence of the grave.
I cried out.
I am slipping.
But your unfailing love, oh Lord, supported me.
When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side?
Leaders whose decrees permit injustice, they gang up against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
But the Lord is my fortress.
My God is the mighty rock where I hide God will turn the sins
of evil people back on them.
He will destroy them for their sins.
The Lord our God will destroy them.
Psalm 95.
Come let us sing to the Lord.
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing Psalms of praise to him.
For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all Gods, he holds
in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains.
The sea belongs to him for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land to come.
Let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for he is our God.
We are the people he watches over the flock under his care.
If only you would listen to his voice today.
The Lord says, don't harden your hearts as Israel did at Marba.
As they did at MAA in the wilderness for there, your ancestors tested and
tried my patience, even though they saw everything I did for 40 years.
I was angry with them and I said, they are a people whose hearts turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.
So in my anger, I took an oath.
They will never enter my place of rest.
Psalm 96.
Sing a new song to the Lord.
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord.
Sing to the Lord.
Praise his name.
Each day, proclaim the good news that he saves.
Publish his glorious deeds among the nations.
Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.
Great is the Lord.
He is most worthy of praise.
He is to be feared Above all Gods.
The gods of other nations are mere idols.
But the Lord made the heavens honor and majesty surround him, strength
and beauty fill his sanctuary.
Oh nations of the world.
Recognize the Lord.
Recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.
Give to the Lord the glory he deserves.
Bring your offering and come into his courts.
Worship the Lord and all his holy splendor.
Let all the earth tremble before him.
Tell all the nations the Lord reigns.
The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
He will judge all peoples fairly.
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice.
Let the sea and everything in it.
Shout his praise.
Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy.
Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord.
For he is coming.
He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with justice and the nations with his truth.
Psalm 97, the Lord is king.
Let the earth rejoice.
Let the farthest coastlands be glad dark clouds surround him.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Fire spreads ahead of him and burns up all his foes.
His lightning flashes out across the world, the earth sees and
trembles the mountains melt like wax.
Before the Lord.
Before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his righteousness.
Every nation sees his glory.
Those who worship idols are disgraced, all who brag about their worthless gods.
For every God must bow to him.
Jerusalem has heard and rejoiced, and all the towns of Judah are
glad because of your justice.
Oh Lord, for you, oh Lord, are supreme over all the earth, you
are exalted far above all Gods.
You who love the Lord hate evil.
He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them
from the power of the wicked.
Light shines on.
The Godly and joy on those whose hearts are right.
May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord and praise his holy name.
