ASV - Psalms 91 to 94

Psalm 91

¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

²I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. ³For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. ⁴He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. ⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; ⁶For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. ⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. ⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. ⁹For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; ¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. ¹¹For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. ¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. ¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. ¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. ¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. ¹⁶With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

Psalm 92 A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day.

¹It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High; ²To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night, ³With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp. ⁴For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. ⁵How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep. ⁶A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this: ⁷When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever. ⁸But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore. ⁹For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. ¹⁰But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil. ¹¹Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me. ¹²The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. ¹³They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God. ¹⁴They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green: ¹⁵To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psalm 93

¹Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty; Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith: The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.

²Thy throne is established of old: Thou art from everlasting. ³The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves. ⁴Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, Jehovah on high is mighty. ⁵Thy testimonies are very sure: Holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for evermore.

Psalm 94

¹O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

²Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: Render to the proud their desert. ³Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph? ⁴They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves. ⁵They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah, And afflict thy heritage. ⁶They slay the widow and the sojourner, And murder the fatherless. ⁷And they say, Jehovah will not see, Neither will the God of Jacob consider. ⁸Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise? ⁹He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? He that formed the eye, shall he not see? ¹⁰He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, Even he that teacheth man knowledge? ¹¹Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man, That they are vanity. ¹²Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah, And teachest out of thy law; ¹³That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit be digged for the wicked. ¹⁴For Jehovah will not cast off his people, Neither will he forsake his inheritance. ¹⁵For judgment shall return unto righteousness; And all the upright in heart shall follow it. ¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? ¹⁷Unless Jehovah had been my help, My soul had soon dwelt in silence. ¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up. ¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul. ²⁰Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, Which frameth mischief by statute? ²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, And condemn the innocent blood. ²²But Jehovah hath been my high tower, And my God the rock of my refuge. ²³And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, And will cut them off in their own wickedness; Jehovah our God will cut them off.
