Psalm 91

The Protection of the Most High

1 The one who lives under the protection of the * Most High

dwells in the shadow of the * Almighty. g

2 I will say h to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.” i

3 He Himself will deliver you from the hunter’s net, j

from the destructive plague.

4 He will cover you with His feathers;

you will take refuge under His wings. k

His faithfulness will be a protective shield. l

5 You will not fear the terror of the night,

the arrow that flies by day, m

6 the plague that stalks in darkness,

or the pestilence that ravages at noon. n

7 Though a thousand fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

the pestilence will not reach you. o

8 You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked. p

9 Because you have made the Lord—my refuge, q

the Most High—your dwelling place, r

10 no harm will come to you;

no plague will come near your tent. s

11 For He will give His angels orders concerning you,

to protect you in all your ways. t

12 They will support you with their hands

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. u

13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the young lion and the serpent. v

14 Because he is lovingly devoted to Me,

I will deliver him;

I will protect him because he knows My name. w

15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble.

I will rescue him and give him honor. x

16 I will satisfy him with a long life y

and show him My salvation. z

Psalm 92

God’s Love and Faithfulness

A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

1 It is good to praise * Yahweh,

to sing praise to Your name, * Most High, a

2 to declare Your faithful love in the morning

and Your faithfulness at night, b

3 with a ten-stringed harp

and the music of a lyre. c

4 For You have made me rejoice, Lord,

by what You have done;

I will shout for joy

because of the works of Your hands. d

5 How magnificent are Your works, Lord,

how profound Your thoughts! e

6 A stupid person does not know,

a fool does not understand this: f

7 though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be eternally destroyed. g

8 But You, Lord, are exalted forever. h

9 For indeed, Lord, Your enemies—

indeed, Your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered. i

10 You have lifted up my * horn j

like that of a wild ox;

I have been anointed k with oil. l

11 My eyes look down on my enemies;

my ears hear evildoers when they attack me. m

12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree

and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon. n

13 Planted in the house of the Lord,

they thrive in the courts of our God. o

14 They will still bear fruit in old age,

healthy and green, p

15 to declare: “The Lord is just;

He is my rock,

and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” q

Psalm 93

God’s Eternal Reign

1 The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty;

The Lord is robed, enveloped in strength.

The world is firmly established;

it cannot be shaken. r

2 Your throne has been established

from the beginning; s

You are from eternity. t

3 The floods have lifted up, Lord,

the floods have lifted up their voice;

the floods lift up their pounding waves. u

4 Greater than the roar of many waters—

the mighty breakers of the sea—

the Lord on high is majestic. v

5 Lord, Your testimonies are completely reliable; w

holiness is the beauty of x Your house

for all the days to come. y
