Psalm 91-95

Psalm 91-95

91:1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 91:2I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” 91:3For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. 91:4He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. 91:5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 91:6nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. 91:7A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. 91:8You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked. 91:9Because you have made the LORD your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 91:10no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. 91:11For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. 91:12They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone. 91:13You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot. 91:14“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name. 91:15He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him. 91:16I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.” 92:1A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High, 92:2to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night, 92:3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre. 92:4For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands. 92:5How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep. 92:6A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this: 92:7though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. 92:8But you, LORD, are on high forever more. 92:9For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered. 92:10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil. 92:11My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me. 92:12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 92:13They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts. 92:14They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green, 92:15to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. 93:1The LORD reigns! He is clothed with majesty! The LORD is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved. 93:2Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting. 93:3The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves. 93:4Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty. 93:5Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, LORD, forever more. 94:1LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out. 94:2Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. 94:3LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? 94:4They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. 94:5They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage. 94:6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. 94:7They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.” 94:8Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise? 94:9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see? 94:10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows. 94:11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. 94:12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law, 94:13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. 94:14For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 94:15For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. 94:16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? 94:17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. 94:18When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up. 94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. 94:20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? 94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 94:22But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. 94:23He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off. 95:1Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation! 95:2Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs! 95:3For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods. 95:4In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his. 95:5The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land. 95:6Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker, 95:7for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice! 95:8Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness, 95:9when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work. 95:10Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.” 95:11Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”

Is there a promise to trust, a command to obey, or a sin to avoid?
