Day 19: Psalm 91-95
Psalms in 30 days reading for day 19.
Psalms 91
- 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
- 2 I will say to the LORD, “You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
- 3 Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly plague.
- 4 He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.
- 5 You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
- 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
- 7 Though a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, no harm will come near you.
- 8 You will only see it with your eyes and witness the punishment of the wicked.
- 9 Because you have made the LORD your dwelling— my refuge, the Most High—
- 10 no evil will befall you, no plague will approach your tent.
- 11 For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
- 12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
- 13 You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent.
- 14 “Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.
- 15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him.
- 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”
Psalms 92
- 1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
- 2 to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
- 3 with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
- 4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
- 5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
- 6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
- 7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
- 8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
- 9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
- 10 But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
- 11 My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.
- 12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
- 13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
- 14 In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
- 15 to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
Psalms 93
- 1 The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
- 2 Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity.
- 3 The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.
- 4 Above the roar of many waters— the mighty breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is majestic.
- 5 Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, for all the days to come.
Psalms 94
- 1 O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.
- 2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.
- 3 How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?
- 4 They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.
- 5 They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.
- 6 They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.
- 7 They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”
- 8 Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?
- 9 He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?
- 10 He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?
- 11 The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
- 12 Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,
- 13 to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.
- 14 For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.
- 15 Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.
- 16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?
- 17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
- 18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.
- 19 When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.
- 20 Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?
- 21 They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
- 22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.
- 23 He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.
Psalms 95
- 1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!
- 2 Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.
- 3 For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.
- 4 In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.
- 5 The sea is His, for 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, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,
- 8 do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,
- 9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.
- 10 For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.”
- 11 So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”
