Psalms 91-100

Psalm 91

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High: will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress;: my God, in whom I trust.”
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,: and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers.: Under his wings you will take refuge.; His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,: nor of the arrow that flies by day;; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,; nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,: and ten thousand at your right hand;; but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes,: and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made Yahweh your refuge,: and the Most High your dwelling place,
no evil shall happen to you,: neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
For he will put his angels in charge of you,: to guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands,: so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and cobra.: You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
“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.
He will call on me, and I will answer him.: I will be with him in trouble.; I will deliver him, and honor him.
I will satisfy him with long life,: and show him my salvation.”

Psalm 92

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh,: to sing praises to your name, Most High;
to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning,: and your faithfulness every night,
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp,: and with the melody of the lyre.
For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work.: I will triumph in the works of your hands.
How great are your works, Yahweh!: Your thoughts are very deep.
A senseless man doesn’t know,: neither does a fool understand this:
though the wicked spring up as the grass,: and all the evildoers flourish,; they will be destroyed forever.
But you, Yahweh, are on high forevermore.
For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh,: for, behold, your enemies shall perish.; All the evildoers will be scattered.
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox.: I am anointed with fresh oil.
My eye has also seen my enemies.: My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.: He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
They are planted in Yahweh’s house.: They will flourish in our God’s courts.
They will still bring forth fruit in old age.: They will be full of sap and green,; to show that Yahweh is upright.
He is my rock,: and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psalm 93

Yahweh reigns!: He is clothed with majesty!; Yahweh is armed with strength.
The world also is established.: It can’t be moved.
Your throne is established from long ago.: You are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, Yahweh,: the floods have lifted up their voice.; The floods lift up their waves.
Above the voices of many waters,: the mighty breakers of the sea,; Yahweh on high is mighty.
Your statutes stand firm.: Holiness adorns your house,; Yahweh, forevermore.

Psalm 94

Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs,: you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
Rise up, you judge of the earth.: Pay back the proud what they deserve.
Yahweh, how long will the wicked,: how long will the wicked triumph?
They pour out arrogant words.: All the evildoers boast.
They break your people in pieces, Yahweh,: and afflict your heritage.
They kill the widow and the alien,: and murder the fatherless.
They say, “Yah will not see,: neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
Consider, you senseless among the people;: you fools, when will you be wise?
He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear?: He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish?: He who teaches man knows.
Yahweh knows the thoughts of man,: that they are futile.
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah,: and teach out of your law;
that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,: until the pit is dug for the wicked.
For Yahweh won’t reject his people,: neither will he forsake his inheritance.
For judgment will return to righteousness.: All the upright in heart shall follow it.
Who will rise up for me against the wicked?: Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
Unless Yahweh had been my help,: my soul would have soon lived in silence.
When I said, “My foot is slipping!”: Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me,: your comforts delight my soul.
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,: which brings about mischief by statute?
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,: and condemn the innocent blood.
But Yahweh has been my high tower,: my God, the rock of my refuge.
He has brought on them their own iniquity,: and will cut them off in their own wickedness.; Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

Psalm 95

Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh.: Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving.: Let’s extol him with songs!
For Yahweh is a great God,: a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth.: The heights of the mountains are also his.
The sea is his, and he made it.: His hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let’s worship and bow down.: Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
for 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!: Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah,; as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers tempted me,: tested me, and saw my work.
Forty long years I was grieved with that generation,: and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart.; They have not known my ways.”
Therefore I swore in my wrath,: “They won’t enter into my rest.”

Psalm 96

Sing to Yahweh a new song!: Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
Sing to Yahweh!: Bless his name!; Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
Declare his glory among the nations,: his marvelous works among all the peoples.
For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised!: He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,: but Yahweh made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are before him.: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations,: ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name.: Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
Worship Yahweh in holy array.: Tremble before him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.”: The world is also established.; It can’t be moved.; He will judge the peoples with equity.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.: Let the sea roar, and its fullness!; Let the field and all that is in it exult!; Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy; before Yahweh; for he comes,; for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,: the peoples with his truth.

Psalm 97

Yahweh reigns!: Let the earth rejoice!; Let the multitude of islands be glad!
Clouds and darkness are around him.: Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
A fire goes before him,: and burns up his adversaries on every side.
His lightning lights up the world.: The earth sees, and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,: at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The heavens declare his righteousness.: All the peoples have seen his glory.
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,: who boast in their idols.; Worship him, all you gods!
Zion heard and was glad.: The daughters of Judah rejoiced,; because of your judgments, Yahweh.
For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.: You are exalted far above all gods.
You who love Yahweh, hate evil.: He preserves the souls of his saints.; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
Light is sown for the righteous,: and gladness for the upright in heart.
Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people!: Give thanks to his holy Name.

Psalm 98

A Psalm.

Sing to Yahweh a new song,: for he has done marvelous things!; His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.
Yahweh has made known his salvation.: He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel.: All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth!: Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp,: with the harp and the voice of melody.
With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn,: make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.
Let the sea roar with its fullness;: the world, and those who dwell therein.
Let the rivers clap their hands.: Let the mountains sing for joy together.
Let them sing before Yahweh,: for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,: and the peoples with equity.

Psalm 99

Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble.: He sits enthroned among the cherubim.; Let the earth be moved.
Yahweh is great in Zion.: He is high above all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name.: He is Holy!

The King’s strength also loves justice.: You do establish equity.; You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt Yahweh our God.: Worship at his footstool.; He is Holy!
Moses and Aaron were among his priests,: Samuel among those who call on his name;; they called on Yahweh, and he answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.: They kept his testimonies,; the statute that he gave them.
You answered them, Yahweh our God.: You are a God who forgave them,; although you took vengeance for their doings.
Exalt Yahweh, our God.: Worship at his holy hill,; for Yahweh, our God, is holy!
