Psalms 91-95

Psalms Chapter 91
1 - He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 - I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 - Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 - He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 - Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 - Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 - A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 - Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 - Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 - There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 - For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 - They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 - Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 - 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.
15 - He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 - With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Psalms Chapter 92
1 - IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:
2 - To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 - Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 - For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 - O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 - A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7 - 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:
8 - But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
9 - For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 - But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 - 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.
12 - The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 - Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 - They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 - To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psalms Chapter 93
1 - 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.
2 - Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3 - The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 - The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 - Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

Psalms Chapter 94
1 - O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 - Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 - LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 - How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 - They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.
6 - They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 - Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 - Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 - He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 - He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 - The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 - Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 - That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 - For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 - But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 - Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 - Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 - When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 - In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 - Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 - They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 - But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 - 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.

Psalms Chapter 95
1 - O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 - Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 - For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 - In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 - The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 - O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7 - 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,
8 - Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 - When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 - 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:
11 - Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
