Psalms 91:14-94:16
Chapter 91
14 "Because he[b] loves me," says the
Lord
, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.(p)
16 With long life(q) I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.(r)"
Chapter 92
Psalm 92[a]
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.
1 It is good to praise the
Lord
and make music(a) to your name,(b) O Most High,(c)
2 proclaiming your love in the morning(d)
and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre(e)
and the melody of the harp.(f)
4 For you make me glad by your deeds,
Lord
;
I sing for joy(g) at what your hands have done.(h)
5 How great are your works,(i)
Lord
,
how profound your thoughts!(j)
6 Senseless people(k) do not know,
fools do not understand,
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.(l)
8 But you, Lord , are forever exalted.
9 For surely your enemies(m),
Lord
,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.(n)
10 You have exalted my horn[b](o) like that of a wild ox;(p)
fine oils(q) have been poured on me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.(r)
12 The righteous will flourish(s) like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;(t)
13 planted in the house of the
Lord
,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.(u)
14 They will still bear fruit(v) in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, "The
Lord
is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.(w)"
Chapter 93
Psalm 93
1 The
Lord
reigns,(a) he is robed in majesty;(b)
the
Lord
is robed in majesty and armed with strength;(c)
indeed, the world is established,(d) firm and secure.(e)
2 Your throne was established(f) long ago;
you are from all eternity.(g)
3 The seas(h) have lifted up,
Lord
,
the seas have lifted up their voice;(i)
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.(j)
4 Mightier than the thunder(k) of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers(l) of the sea—
the
Lord
on high is mighty.(m)
5 Your statutes,
Lord
, stand firm;
holiness(n) adorns your house(o)
for endless days.
Chapter 94
Psalm 94
1 The
Lord
is a God who avenges.(a)
O God who avenges, shine forth.(b)
2 Rise up,(c) Judge(d) of the earth;
pay back(e) to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long,
Lord
, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?(f)
4 They pour out arrogant(g) words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.(h)
5 They crush your people,(i)
Lord
;
they oppress your inheritance.(j)
6 They slay the widow(k) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(l)
7 They say, "The
Lord
does not see;(m)
the God of Jacob(n) takes no notice."
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(o) among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?(p)
10 Does he who disciplines(q) nations not punish?
Does he who teaches(r) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The
Lord
knows all human plans;(s)
he knows that they are futile.(t)
12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(u)
Lord
,
the one you teach(v) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(w)
till a pit(x) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the
Lord
will not reject his people;(y)
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(z)
and all the upright in heart(aa) will follow it.
16 Who will rise up(ab) for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?(ac)
