Psalm 93-118
New American Standard Bible
The Majesty of the Lord.
93 (A)The Lord [a]reigns, He is (B)clothed with majesty;
The Lord has (C)clothed and encircled Himself with strength.
Indeed, the (D)world is firmly established; it will not be moved.
2 Your (E)throne is established from of old;
You (F)are from eternity.
3 The (G)floods have lifted up, Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice,
The floods lift up their pounding waves.
4 More than the sounds of many waters,
Than the mighty breakers of the sea,
The Lord (H)on high is mighty.
5 Your (I)testimonies are fully confirmed;
(J)Holiness is pleasing to Your house,
Lord, [b]forevermore.
The Lord Implored to Avenge His People.
94 Lord, God of [c](K)vengeance,
God of [d]vengeance, [e](L)shine forth!
2 (M)Rise up, (N)Judge of the earth,
Pay back retribution (O)to the proud.
3 How long, Lord, shall the wicked—
How long shall the (P)wicked triumph?
4 They pour out words, they (Q)speak arrogantly;
All who do injustice (R)boast.
5 They (S)crush Your people, Lord,
And (T)afflict Your inheritance.
6 They (U)kill the widow and the stranger
And murder the orphans.
7 (V)They have said, “[f]The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob perceive.”
8 Pay attention, you (W)stupid ones among the people;
And when will you understand, (X)foolish ones?
9 He who (Y)planted the ear, [g]does He not hear?
Or He who formed the eye, [h]does He not see?
10 He who [i](Z)disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke,
He who (AA)teaches mankind knowledge?
11 The Lord (AB)knows human thoughts,
[j]That they are mere breath.
12 Blessed is the man whom (AC)You discipline, [k]Lord,
And (AD)whom You teach from Your Law,
13 So that You may grant him (AE)relief from the (AF)days of adversity,
Until (AG)a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For (AH)the Lord will not abandon His people,
Nor will He (AI)abandon His inheritance.
15 For [l](AJ)judgment [m]will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart [n]will follow it.
16 Who will (AK)stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me (AL)against those who do injustice?
17 If (AM)the Lord had not been my help,
My soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.
18 If I should say, “(AN)My foot has slipped,”
Your faithfulness, Lord, will support me.
19 When my anxious thoughts [o]multiply within me,
Your (AO)comfort delights my soul.
20 Can a [p](AP)throne of destruction be allied with You,
One (AQ)which devises [q]mischief by decree?
21 They (AR)band themselves together against the [r]life of the righteous
And (AS)condemn [s]the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has been my (AT)refuge,
And my God the (AU)rock of my refuge.
23 He has (AV)brought back their injustice upon them,
And He will [t](AW)destroy them in their evil;
The Lord our God will [u]destroy them.
Praise to the Lord and Warning against Unbelief.
95 Come, let’s (AX)sing for joy to the Lord,
Let’s shout joyfully to (AY)the rock of our salvation.
2 Let’s (AZ)come before His presence (BA)with a song of thanksgiving,
Let’s shout joyfully to Him (BB)in songs with instruments.
3 For the Lord is a (BC)great God
And a great King (BD)above all gods,
4 In whose hand are the (BE)depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are also His.
5 [v]The sea is His, for it was He (BF)who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let’s (BG)worship and bow down,
Let’s (BH)kneel before the Lord our (BI)Maker.
7 For He is our God,
And (BJ)we are the people of His [w](BK)pasture and the sheep of His hand.
(BL)Today, [x]if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as at [y](BM)Meribah,
As on the day of [z](BN)Massah in the wilderness,
9 “When your fathers (BO)put Me to the test,
They tested Me, though they had seen My work.
10 For (BP)forty years I was disgusted with that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
11 Therefore I (BQ)swore in My anger,
They certainly shall not enter My (BR)rest.”

But (CB)the Lord made the heavens.

May (CO)the sea [ag]roar, and [ah]all it contains;
12 May the (CP)field be jubilant, and all that is in it.
Then all the (CQ)trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 Before the Lord, (CR)for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
(CS)He will judge the world in righteousness,
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
The Lord’s Power and Dominion.
97 (CT)The Lord [ai]reigns, may the (CU)earth rejoice;
May the many [aj](CV)islands be joyful.
2 (CW)Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
(CX)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 (CY)Fire goes before Him
And (CZ)burns up His enemies all around.
4 His (DA)lightning lit up the world;
The earth saw it and (DB)trembled.
5 The mountains (DC)melted like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the (DD)Lord of the whole earth.
6 The (DE)heavens declare His righteousness,
And (DF)all the peoples have seen His glory.
7 May all those be ashamed who serve (DG)carved images,
Who boast in (DH)idols;
[ak](DI)Worship Him, all you [al]gods.
8 Zion [am]heard this and (DJ)was joyful,
And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced
Because of Your judgments, Lord.
9 For You are the Lord (DK)Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted far (DL)above all [an]gods.
10 (DM)Hate evil, you who love the Lord,
Who (DN)watches over the souls of His godly ones;
He (DO)saves them from the hand of the wicked.
11 (DP)Light is sown like seed for the righteous,
And (DQ)gladness for the upright in heart.

The Psalmist’s Profession of Uprightness.
A Psalm of David.
101 I will (FV)sing of mercy and [bf]justice;
To You, Lord, I will sing praises.
2 I will (FW)carefully attend to the [bg]blameless way.
When will You come to me?
I will walk within my house in the [bh](FX)integrity of my heart.
3 I will set no (FY)worthless thing before my eyes;
I hate the [bi]work of those who (FZ)fall away;
It shall not cling to me.
4 A (GA)perverse heart shall leave me;
I will know no evil.
5 Whoever secretly (GB)slanders his neighbor, him I will [bj]destroy;
I will not endure one who has a (GC)haughty look and an arrogant heart.
6 My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me;
One who walks in a [bk](GD)blameless way is one who will serve me.
7 One who (GE)practices deceit shall not dwell within my house;
One who speaks lies (GF)shall not [bl]maintain his position before me.
8 (GG)Every morning I will [bm](GH)destroy all the wicked of the land,
So as to (GI)eliminate from the (GJ)city of the Lord all those who do injustice.
Prayer of an Afflicted Man for Mercy on Himself and on Zion.
A Prayer of the afflicted when he is weak and [bn]pours out his complaint before the Lord.
102 (GK)Hear my prayer, Lord!
And let my cry for help (GL)come to You.
2 (GM)Do not hide Your face from me on the day of my distress;
(GN)Incline Your ear to me;
On the day when I call (GO)answer me quickly.
3 For my days (GP)have ended in smoke,
And my (GQ)bones have been scorched like a hearth.
4 My heart (GR)has been struck like [bo]grass and has (GS)withered,
Indeed, I (GT)forget to eat my bread.
5 Because of the [bp]loudness of my groaning
My (GU)bones [bq]cling to my flesh.
6 I resemble a (GV)pelican of the wilderness;
I have become like an owl of the ruins.
7 I (GW)lie awake,
I have become like a solitary bird on a housetop.
8 My enemies (GX)have taunted me all day long;
Those who [br](GY)deride me [bs]have used my name as a (GZ)curse.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And (HA)mixed my drink with weeping
10 (HB)Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;
For You have (HC)lifted me up and thrown me away.
11 My days are like a [bt](HD)lengthened shadow,
And [bu]I (HE)wither away like [bv]grass.
12 But You, Lord, [bw](HF)remain forever,
And Your [bx](HG)name remains to all generations.
13 You will (HH)arise and have (HI)compassion on Zion;
For (HJ)it is time to be gracious to her,
For the (HK)appointed time has come.
14 Surely Your servants [by]take pleasure in her stones,
And feel pity for her dust.
15 [bz]So the [ca](HL)nations will fear the name of the Lord,
And (HM)all the kings of the earth, Your glory.
16 For the Lord has (HN)built up Zion;
He has (HO)appeared in His glory.
17 He has (HP)turned His attention to the prayer of the [cb]destitute
And has not despised their prayer.
18 [cc]This will be (HQ)written for the (HR)generation to come,
[cd]That (HS)a people yet to be created [ce]may praise [cf]the Lord:
19 For He (HT)looked down from His holy height;
(HU)From heaven the Lord looked [cg]upon the earth,
20 To hear the (HV)groaning of the prisoner,
To (HW)set free [ch]those who were doomed to death,
21 So that people may (HX)tell of the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 When (HY)the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.
23 He has broken my strength in the way;
He has (HZ)shortened my days.
24 I say, “My God, (IA)do not take me away in the middle of my days,
Your (IB)years are [ci]throughout all generations.
25 In time of old You (IC)founded the earth,
And the (ID)heavens are the work of Your hands.
26 [cj]Even they will (IE)perish, but You endure;
All of them will wear out like a garment;
Like clothing You will change them and they will pass away.
27 But You are [ck](IF)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.
28 The (IG)children of Your servants will continue,
And their [cl](IH)descendants will be established before You.”
Praise for the Lord’s Mercies.
A Psalm of David.
103 (II)Bless the Lord, my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His (IJ)holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, my soul,
And (IK)do not forget any of His benefits;
3 Who (IL)pardons all your guilt,
Who (IM)heals all your diseases;
4 Who (IN)redeems your life from the pit,
Who (IO)crowns you with favor and compassion;
5 Who (IP)satisfies your [cm]years with good things,
So that your youth is (IQ)renewed like the eagle.
6 The Lord (IR)performs [cn]righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are (IS)oppressed.
7 He (IT)made known His ways to Moses,
His (IU)deeds to the sons of Israel.
8 The Lord is (IV)compassionate and gracious,
(IW)Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.
9 He (IX)will not always contend with us,
Nor will He (IY)keep His anger forever.
10 He has (IZ)not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.
11 For as high (JA)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who [co]fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He (JB)removed our wrongdoings from us.
13 Just (JC)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who [cp]fear Him.
14 For (JD)He Himself knows [cq]our form;
He (JE)is mindful that we are nothing but (JF)dust.
15 As for man, his days are (JG)like grass;
Like a (JH)flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 When the (JI)wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its (JJ)place no longer knows about it.
17 But the [cr](JK)mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who [cs]fear Him,
And His justice (JL)to the children’s children,
18 To (JM)those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts, so as to do them.
19 The Lord has established His (JN)throne in the heavens,
And His [ct](JO)sovereignty rules over [cu]all.
20 Bless the Lord, you (JP)His angels,
(JQ)Mighty in strength, who (JR)perform His word,
(JS)Obeying the voice of His word!
21 Bless the Lord, all you (JT)His [cv]angels,
You (JU)who serve Him, doing His will.
22 Bless the Lord, (JV)all you works of His,
In all places of His dominion;
Bless the Lord, my soul!
The Lord’s Care over All His Works.
104 (JW)Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord my God, You are very great;
You are (JX)clothed with splendor and majesty,
2 Covering Yourself with (JY)light as with a cloak,
(JZ)Stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.
3 [cw]He (KA)lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;
[cx]He makes the (KB)clouds His chariot;
[cy]He walks on the (KC)wings of the wind;
4 [cz]He makes [da](KD)the winds His messengers,
[db]Flaming (KE)fire His ministers.
5 He (KF)established the earth upon its foundations,
So that it will not [dc]totter forever and ever.
6 You (KG)covered it with the deep sea as with a garment;
The waters were standing above the mountains.
7 They fled from Your (KH)rebuke,
At the (KI)sound of Your thunder they hurried away.
8 The mountains rose; the valleys sank down
To the (KJ)place which You established for them.
9 You set a (KK)boundary so that they will not pass over,
So that they will not return to cover the earth.
10 [dd]He sends forth (KL)springs in the valleys;
They flow between the mountains;
11 They (KM)give drink to every animal of the field;
The (KN)wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 The birds of the sky (KO)dwell [de]beside them;
They [df]lift up their voices from among the branches.
13 [dg]He (KP)waters the mountains from His upper chambers;
(KQ)The earth is satisfied with the fruit of His works.
14 [dh]He causes the (KR)grass to grow for the [di]cattle,
And (KS)vegetation for the labor of mankind,
So that [dj]they may produce [dk]food (KT)from the earth,
15 And (KU)wine, which makes a human heart cheerful,
(KV)So that he makes his face gleam with oil,
And [dl]food, which (KW)sustains a human heart.
16 The trees of the Lord [dm]drink their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon which He planted,
17 Where the (KX)birds build their nests,
And the (KY)stork, whose home is the juniper trees.
18 The high mountains are for the (KZ)wild goats;
The (LA)cliffs are a refuge for the (LB)rock hyrax.
19 He made the moon (LC)for the seasons;
The (LD)sun knows the place of its setting.
20 You (LE)appoint darkness and it becomes night,
In which all the (LF)animals of the forest [dn]prowl about.
21 The (LG)young lions roar for their prey
[do]And (LH)seek their food from God.
22 When the sun rises they withdraw,
And they lie down in their (LI)dens.
23 A person goes out to (LJ)his work
And to his labor until evening.
24 Lord, how (LK)many are Your works!
[dp]In (LL)wisdom You have made them all;
The (LM)earth is full of Your [dq]possessions.
25 [dr]There is the (LN)sea, great and [ds]broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.
26 The (LO)ships move along there,
And [dt](LP)Leviathan, which You have formed to have fun in it.
27 They all (LQ)wait for You
To (LR)give them their food in [du]due season.
28 You give to them, they gather it up;
You (LS)open Your hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 You (LT)hide Your face, they are terrified;
You (LU)take away their breath, they perish
And (LV)return to their dust.
30 You send forth Your [dv](LW)Spirit, they are created;
And You renew the face of the ground.
31 May the (LX)glory of the Lord endure forever;
May the Lord (LY)rejoice in His works;
32 [dw]He (LZ)looks at the earth, and it (MA)trembles;
He (MB)touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 [dx]I will sing to the Lord [dy](MC)as long as I live;
[dz]I will (MD)sing praise to my God [ea]while I have my being.
34 May my (ME)praise be pleasing to Him;
As for me, I shall (MF)rejoice in the Lord.
35 May sinners be (MG)removed from the earth
And may the (MH)wicked be no more.
(MI)Bless the Lord, my soul.
[eb](MJ)Praise [ec]the Lord!
The Lord’s Wonderful Works in Behalf of Israel.
105 (MK)Give thanks to the Lord, (ML)call upon His name;
(MM)Make His deeds known among the peoples.
2 Sing to Him, (MN)sing praises to Him;
[ed](MO)Tell of all His [ee]wonders.
3 Boast in His holy name;
May the (MP)heart of those who seek the Lord be joyful.
4 Seek the Lord and (MQ)His strength;
(MR)Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His [ef](MS)wonders which He has done,
His marvels and the (MT)judgments [eg]spoken by His mouth,
6 You [eh]descendants of (MU)Abraham, His servant,
You sons of (MV)Jacob, His (MW)chosen ones!
7 He is the Lord our God;
His (MX)judgments are in all the earth.
8 He has (MY)remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a (MZ)thousand generations,
9 The (NA)covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His (NB)oath to Isaac.
10 Then He (NC)confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying, “(ND)To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the [ei](NE)portion of your inheritance,”
12 When they were only a (NF)few people in number,
Very few, and (NG)strangers in it.
13 And they wandered from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people,
14 He (NH)allowed no one to oppress them,
And He [ej](NI)rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
15 “(NJ)Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do not harm My prophets.”
16 And He (NK)called for a famine upon the land;
He (NL)broke the whole staff of bread.
17 He (NM)sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was (NN)sold as a slave.
18 They forced his (NO)feet into shackles,
[ek]He was put in irons;
19 Until the time that his (NP)word came to pass,
The word of the Lord (NQ)refined him.
20 The (NR)king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
21 He (NS)made him lord of his house,
And ruler over all his possessions,
22 To [el]imprison his high officials [em](NT)at will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
23 (NU)Israel also came into Egypt;
So Jacob (NV)lived in the land of Ham.
24 And He (NW)made His people very fruitful,
And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He (NX)turned their heart to hate His people,
To (NY)deal cunningly with His servants.
26 He (NZ)sent His servant Moses,
And (OA)Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They [en](OB)performed His wondrous acts among them,
And miracles in the land of Ham.
28 He (OC)sent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not (OD)rebel against His words.
29 He (OE)turned their waters into blood,
And caused their fish to die.
30 Their land swarmed with (OF)frogs
Even in the (OG)chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and a (OH)swarm of flies
And (OI)gnats invaded all their territory.
32 He [eo]gave them (OJ)hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 He also (OK)struck their vines and their fig trees,
And smashed the trees of their territory.
34 He spoke, and (OL)locusts came,
And creeping locusts, beyond number,
35 And they ate all the vegetation in their land,
And ate the fruit of their ground.
36 He also (OM)fatally struck all the firstborn in their land,
The (ON)first fruits of all their vigor.
37 Then He brought [ep]the Israelites out with (OO)silver and gold,
And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
38 Egypt was (OP)glad when they departed,
For the (OQ)dread of them had fallen upon [eq]the Egyptians.
39 He spread out a (OR)cloud as a [er]covering,
And (OS)fire to illumine by night.
40 [es]They (OT)asked, and He brought (OU)quail,
And satisfied them with the [et](OV)bread of heaven.
41 He opened the [eu]rock and (OW)water flowed out;
[ev]It ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He (OX)remembered His holy word
With His servant Abraham;
43 And He led out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with a joyful (OY)shout.
44 He also (OZ)gave them the lands of the [ew]nations,
So that they (PA)might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
45 And that they might (PB)keep His statutes
And comply with His laws;
[ex]Praise [ey]the Lord!
Israel’s Rebelliousness and the Lord’s Help.
106 [ez]Praise [fa]the Lord!
Oh (PC)give thanks to the Lord, for He (PD)is good;
For (PE)His mercy is everlasting.
2 Who can speak of the (PF)mighty deeds of the Lord,
Or can proclaim all His praise?
3 How blessed are those who maintain [fb]justice,
[fc]Who (PG)practice righteousness at all times!
4 Remember me, Lord, in Your (PH)favor [fd]toward Your people.
Visit me with Your salvation,
5 So that I may see the (PI)prosperity of Your chosen ones,
That I may (PJ)rejoice in the joy of Your nation,
That I may (PK)boast with Your [fe]inheritance.
6 (PL)We have sinned [ff](PM)like our fathers,
We have gone astray, we have behaved wickedly.
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your [fg]wonders;
They (PN)did not remember [fh]Your abundant kindnesses,
But (PO)rebelled by the sea, at the [fi]Red Sea.
8 Nevertheless He saved them (PP)for the sake of His name,
So that He might (PQ)make His power known.
9 So He (PR)rebuked the [fj]Red Sea and it (PS)dried up,
And He (PT)led them through the mighty waters, as through the wilderness.
10 So He (PU)saved them from the [fk]hand of one who hated them,
And (PV)redeemed them from the [fl]hand of the enemy.
11 (PW)The waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left.
12 Then they (PX)believed His words;
They (PY)sang His praise.
13 They quickly (PZ)forgot His works;
They (QA)did not wait for His plan,
14 But (QB)became lustfully greedy in the wilderness,
And (QC)put God to the test in the desert.
15 So He (QD)gave them their request,
But (QE)sent a [fm]wasting disease among them.
16 When they became (QF)envious of Moses in the camp,
And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,
17 The (QG)earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
And engulfed the [fn]company of Abiram.
18 And a (QH)fire blazed up in their [fo]company;
The flame consumed the wicked.
19 They (QI)made a calf in Horeb,
And worshiped a cast metal image.
20 So they (QJ)exchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They (QK)forgot God their Savior,
Who had done (QL)great things in Egypt,
22 [fp](QM)Wonders in the land of Ham,
And awesome things by the [fq]Red Sea.
23 Therefore (QN)He said that He would destroy them,
If (QO)Moses, His chosen one, had not stood in the gap before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they (QP)rejected the (QQ)pleasant land;
They (QR)did not believe His word,
25 But (QS)grumbled in their tents;
They did not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore He [fr](QT)swore to them
That He would have them fall in the wilderness,
27 And that He would (QU)bring down their [fs]descendants among the nations,
And (QV)scatter them in the lands.
28 They also (QW)followed [ft]Baal-peor,
And ate (QX)sacrifices offered to the dead.
29 So they (QY)provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And a plague broke out among them.
30 Then Phinehas (QZ)stood up and [fu]intervened,
And so the (RA)plague was brought to a halt.
31 And it was (RB)credited to him as righteousness,
To all generations forever.
32 They also (RC)provoked Him to wrath at the waters of [fv]Meribah,
So that it (RD)went badly for Moses on their account.
33 Because they (RE)were rebellious against [fw]His Spirit,
He spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They (RF)did not destroy the peoples,
As (RG)the Lord had commanded them,
35 But (RH)they got involved with the nations
And learned their [fx]practices,
36 And (RI)served their idols,
(RJ)Which became a snare to them.
37 They even (RK)sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the (RL)demons,
38 And shed (RM)innocent blood,
The blood of their (RN)sons and their daughters
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was (RO)defiled with the blood.
39 So they became (RP)unclean in their [fy]practices,
And [fz](RQ)were unfaithful in their deeds.
40 Therefore the (RR)anger of the Lord was kindled against His people,
And He (RS)loathed His [ga](RT)inheritance.
41 So (RU)He handed them over to the [gb]nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also (RV)oppressed them,
And they were subdued under their [gc]power.
43 Many times He would (RW)rescue them;
They, however, were rebellious in their (RX)plan,
And they (RY)sank down into their guilt.
44 Nevertheless He looked at their distress
When He (RZ)heard their cry;
45 And He (SA)remembered His covenant for their sake,
And [gd](SB)relented (SC)according to the greatness of His mercy.
46 He also made them (SD)objects of compassion
In the presence of all their captors.
47 (SE)Save us, Lord our God,
And (SF)gather us from the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And (SG)glory in Your praise.
48 (SH)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
And all the people shall say, “Amen.”
[ge]Praise [gf]the Lord!
BOOK 5
The Lord Rescues People from Many Troubles.
107 (SI)Give thanks to the Lord, for (SJ)He is good,
For His mercy is everlasting.
2 (SK)The redeemed of the Lord shall say so,
Those whom He has (SL)redeemed from the hand of the enemy
3 And (SM)gathered from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the [gg]south.
4 They (SN)wandered in the wilderness in a [gh]desert region;
They did not find a way to [gi]an inhabited (SO)city.
5 They were hungry [gj]and thirsty;
Their (SP)souls felt weak within them.
6 Then they (SQ)cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them from their distresses.
7 He also had them walk on a [gk](SR)straight way,
To go to [gl](SS)an inhabited city.
8 (ST)They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy,
And for His [gm]wonders to the sons of mankind!
9 For He has (SU)satisfied the [gn]thirsty soul,
And He has filled the (SV)hungry soul with what is good.
10 There were those who (SW)lived in darkness and in [go]the shadow of death,
(SX)Prisoners in misery and [gp]chains,
11 Because they had (SY)rebelled against the words of God
And (SZ)rejected the (TA)plan of the Most High.
12 Therefore He humbled their heart with labor;
They stumbled and there was (TB)no one to help.
13 Then they (TC)cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them from their distresses.
14 He (TD)brought them out of darkness and [gq]the shadow of death
And (TE)broke their bands apart.
15 (TF)They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy,
And for His [gr]wonders to the sons of mankind!
16 For He has (TG)shattered gates of bronze
And cut off bars of iron.
17 Fools, because of [gs]their rebellious way,
And (TH)because of their guilty deeds, were afflicted.
18 Their (TI)souls loathed all kinds of food,
And they (TJ)came close to the (TK)gates of death.
19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He saved them from their distresses.
20 He (TL)sent His word and (TM)healed them,
And (TN)saved them from their [gt]destruction.
21 (TO)They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy,
And for His [gu]wonders to the sons of mankind!
22 They shall also offer (TP)sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And (TQ)tell of His works with joyful singing.
23 Those who (TR)go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business on great waters;
24 They have seen the works of the Lord,
And His [gv]wonders in the deep.
25 For He (TS)spoke and raised a (TT)stormy wind,
Which (TU)lifted the waves [gw]of the sea.
26 They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
Their soul (TV)melted away in their misery.
27 They reeled and (TW)staggered like a drunken person,
And [gx]were at their wits’ end.
28 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.
29 He (TX)caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves [gy]of the sea were hushed.
30 Then they were glad because they were quiet,
So He guided them to their desired harbor.
31 (TY)They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy,
And for His [gz](TZ)wonders to the sons of mankind!
32 They shall also (UA)exalt Him (UB)in the congregation of the people,
And (UC)praise Him at the seat of the elders.
33 He (UD)turns rivers into a [ha]wilderness,
And springs of water into a thirsty ground;
34 And a (UE)fruitful land into a (UF)salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
35 He (UG)turns a [hb]wilderness into a pool of water,
And a dry land into springs of water;
36 And He has the hungry live there,
So that they may establish [hc](UH)an inhabited city,
37 And sow fields and (UI)plant vineyards,
And [hd]gather a fruitful harvest.
38 He also blesses them and they (UJ)multiply greatly,
And He (UK)does not let their cattle decrease.
39 When they (UL)become few and (UM)lowly
Because of oppression, misery, and sorrow,
40 He (UN)pours contempt upon noblemen
And (UO)makes them wander (UP)in a pathless wasteland.
41 But He (UQ)sets the needy [he]securely on high, away from affliction,
And (UR)makes his families like a flock.
42 The (US)upright see it and are glad;
But all (UT)injustice shuts its mouth.
43 Who is (UU)wise? He is to pay attention to these things,
And consider the (UV)mercy of the Lord.
God Praised and Pleas to Give Victory.
A Song, a Psalm of David.
108 (UW)My heart is steadfast, God;
I will sing, I will sing praises also with my [hf]soul.
2 Awake, harp and lyre;
I will awaken the dawn!
3 I will give thanks to You, Lord, among the peoples,
And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4 For Your (UX)mercy is great (UY)above the heavens,
And Your truth reaches to the skies.
5 (UZ)Be exalted above the heavens, God,
And may Your glory be above all the earth.
6 (VA)So that Your beloved may be rescued,
Save with Your right hand, and answer me!
7 God has spoken in His [hg]holiness:
“I will triumph, I will divide up Shechem,
And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine, Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the [hh]helmet of My head;
(VB)Judah is My [hi]scepter.
9 Moab is My washbowl;
I will throw My sandal over Edom;
I will shout aloud over Philistia.”
10 (VC)Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who [hj]will lead me to Edom?
11 God, have You Yourself not (VD)rejected us?
And will You not go forth with our armies, God?
12 Give us help against the enemy,
For (VE)deliverance [hk]by man is worthless.
13 [hl]Through God we will do valiantly,
And (VF)it is He who will trample down our enemies.
Vengeance Invoked upon Adversaries.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
109 (VG)God of my praise,
(VH)Do not be silent!
2 For they have opened a [hm]wicked and (VI)deceitful mouth against me;
They have spoken [hn]against me with a (VJ)lying tongue.
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And have fought against me (VK)without cause.
4 In return (VL)for my love they act as my accusers;
But (VM)I am in prayer.
5 So they have [ho](VN)repaid me evil for good,
And (VO)hatred for my love.
6 Appoint a wicked person over him,
And may an [hp](VP)accuser stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, may he (VQ)come out guilty,
And may his (VR)prayer become sin.
8 May (VS)his days be few;
May (VT)another take his office.
9 May his (VU)children be fatherless,
And his (VV)wife a widow.
10 May his (VW)children wander about and beg;
And may they (VX)seek sustenance [hq]far from their ruined homes.
11 May (VY)the creditor [hr]seize everything that he has,
And may (VZ)strangers plunder the product of his labor.
12 May there be none to [hs](WA)extend kindness to him,
Nor (WB)any to be gracious to his fatherless children.
13 May his (WC)descendants be [ht]eliminated;
May their (WD)name be wiped out in a following generation.
14 May (WE)the guilt of his fathers be remembered [hu]before the Lord,
And do not let the sin of his mother be (WF)wiped out.
15 May (WG)they be before the Lord continually,
So that He may (WH)eliminate their memory from the earth;
16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the (WI)afflicted and needy person,
And the (WJ)despondent in heart, to (WK)put them to death.
17 He also loved cursing, so (WL)it came to him;
And he did not delight in blessing, so it was far from him.
18 But he (WM)clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
And it (WN)entered [hv]his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19 May it be to him as (WO)a garment with which he covers himself,
And as a belt which he constantly (WP)wears around himself.
20 May this be the (WQ)reward of my accusers from the Lord,
And of those who (WR)speak evil against my soul.
21 But You, [hw]God, the Lord, deal kindly with me (WS)for the sake of Your name;
Because (WT)Your mercy is good, rescue me;
22 For (WU)I am afflicted and needy,
And [hx]my heart is (WV)wounded within me.
23 I am passing (WW)like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off (WX)like the locust.
24 My (WY)knees [hy]are weak from (WZ)fasting,
And my flesh has grown lean, without fatness.
25 I also have become a (XA)disgrace to them;
When they see me, they (XB)shake their head.
26 (XC)Help me, Lord my God;
Save me according to Your mercy.
27 [hz]And may they (XD)know that this is Your hand;
You, Lord, have done it.
28 (XE)They will curse, but You bless;
When they arise, they will be ashamed,
But Your (XF)servant will be glad.
29 [ia]May (XG)my accusers be clothed with dishonor,
And [ib]may they (XH)cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
30 With my mouth I will give thanks abundantly to the Lord;
And (XI)I will praise Him in the midst of many.
31 For He stands (XJ)at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who (XK)judge his soul.
The Lord Gives Dominion to the King.
A Psalm of David.
110 (XL)The Lord says to my Lord:
“(XM)Sit at My right hand
Until I make (XN)Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
2 The Lord will stretch out Your strong (XO)scepter from Zion, saying,
“(XP)Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”
3 Your (XQ)people [ic]will volunteer freely on the day of Your [id]power;
(XR)In [ie]holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn,
[if]Your youth are to You as the (XS)dew.
4 (XT)The Lord has sworn and will (XU)not [ig]change His mind,
“You are a (XV)priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
5 The Lord is (XW)at Your right hand;
He [ih]will (XX)shatter kings in the (XY)day of His wrath.
6 He will (XZ)judge among the nations,
He [ii]will fill them with (YA)corpses,
He [ij]will (YB)shatter the [ik]chief men over a broad country.
7 He will (YC)drink from the brook by the wayside;
Therefore He will (YD)lift up His head.

He will (YM)remember His covenant forever.
6 He has made known to His people the power of His works,
In giving them the inheritance of the nations.

The generation of the (YZ)upright will be blessed.
3 (ZA)Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light shines in the darkness (ZB)for the upright;
He is (ZC)gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
5 It goes well for a person who (ZD)is gracious and lends;
He will [je]maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will (ZE)never be shaken;
The (ZF)righteous will be [jf]remembered forever.
7 He will not fear (ZG)bad news;
His (ZH)heart is steadfast, (ZI)trusting in the Lord.
8 His (ZJ)heart is firm, he (ZK)will not fear,
[jg]But will (ZL)look with satisfaction on his enemies.
9 [jh]He (ZM)has given freely to the poor,
His righteousness endures forever;
His (ZN)horn will be exalted in honor.
10 The (ZO)wicked will see it and be [ji]vexed,
He will (ZP)gnash his teeth and (ZQ)melt away;
The (ZR)desire of the wicked will perish.
The Lord Exalts the Humble.
113 [jj]Praise [jk]the Lord!
(ZS)Praise Him, you (ZT)servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord.
2 (ZU)Blessed be the name of the Lord
From this time on and forever.

With the noblemen of His people.

As a joyful mother of children.
[jm]Praise [jn]the Lord!
God’s Rescue of Israel from Egypt.
114 When Israel went forth (AAF)from Egypt,
The house of Jacob from a people of a (AAG)foreign language,
2 Judah became (AAH)His sanctuary;
Israel, (AAI)His dominion.
3 The (AAJ)sea looked and fled;
The (AAK)Jordan turned back.
4 The mountains (AAL)skipped like rams,
The hills, like lambs.
5 What (AAM)ails you, sea, that you flee?
Jordan, that you turn back?
6 Mountains, that you skip like rams?
Hills, like lambs?
7 (AAN)Tremble, earth, before the Lord,
Before the God of Jacob,
8 Who (AAO)turned the rock into a (AAP)pool of water,
The (AAQ)flint into a fountain of water.
Heathen Idols Contrasted with the Lord.
115 (AAR)Not to us, Lord, not to us,
But (AAS)to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy, because of Your [jo]truth.
2 (AAT)Why should the nations say,
“(AAU)Where, then, is their God?”
3 But our (AAV)God is in the heavens;
He (AAW)does whatever He pleases.
4 Their (AAX)idols are silver and gold,
The (AAY)work of human hands.
5 They have mouths, but they (AAZ)cannot speak;
They have eyes, but they cannot see;
6 They have ears, but they cannot hear;
They have noses, but they cannot smell;
7 [jp]They have hands, but they cannot feel;
[jq]They have feet, but they cannot walk;
They cannot make a sound with their throat.
8 (ABA)Those who make them [jr]will become like them,
Everyone who trusts in them.
9 (ABB)Israel, (ABC)trust in the Lord;
He is their (ABD)help and their shield.
10 House of (ABE)Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who [js](ABF)fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
12 The Lord (ABG)has been mindful of us; He will bless us.
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will (ABH)bless those who [jt]fear the Lord,
(ABI)The small together with the great.
14 May the Lord (ABJ)increase you,
You and your children.
15 May you be blessed of the Lord,
(ABK)Maker of heaven and earth.
16 The heavens are (ABL)the heavens of the Lord,
But (ABM)the earth He has given to the sons of mankind.
17 The (ABN)dead do not praise [ju]the Lord,
Nor do any who go down into (ABO)silence;
18 But as for us, we will (ABP)bless [jv]the Lord
From this time and forever.
[jw]Praise [jx]the Lord!
Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.
116 (ABQ)I love the Lord, because He (ABR)hears
My voice and my pleas.
2 Because He has (ABS)inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The (ABT)snares of death encompassed me
And the [jy]terrors of [jz]Sheol [ka]came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.
4 Then (ABU)I called upon the name of the Lord:
“Please, Lord, (ABV)save my [kb]life!”
5 (ABW)Gracious is the Lord, and (ABX)righteous;
Yes, our God is (ABY)compassionate.
6 The Lord watches over (ABZ)the simple;
I was (ACA)brought low, and He saved me.
7 Return to your (ACB)rest, my soul,
For the Lord has (ACC)dealt generously with you.
8 For You have (ACD)rescued my soul from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling.
9 I shall walk before the Lord
In the [kc](ACE)land of the living.
10 I (ACF)believed when I said,
“I am (ACG)greatly afflicted.”
11 I (ACH)said in my alarm,
“(ACI)All people are liars.”
12 What shall I (ACJ)repay to the Lord
For all His (ACK)benefits [kd]to me?
13 I will lift up the (ACL)cup of salvation,
And (ACM)call upon the name of the Lord.
14 I will (ACN)pay my vows to the Lord;
May it be (ACO)in the presence of all His people!
15 (ACP)Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones.
16 O Lord, [ke]I surely am (ACQ)Your slave,
I am Your slave, the (ACR)son of Your female slave,
You have (ACS)unfastened my restraints.
17 I will offer You (ACT)a sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And (ACU)call upon the name of the Lord.
18 I will (ACV)pay my vows to the Lord,
May it be in the presence of all His people,
19 In the (ACW)courtyards of the Lord’s house,
In the midst of you, (ACX)Jerusalem!
[kf]Praise [kg]the Lord!
A Psalm of Praise.

[kj]Praise [kk]the Lord!
Thanksgiving for the Lord’s Saving Goodness.
118 (ADB)Give thanks to the Lord, for (ADC)He is good;
For His mercy is everlasting.
2 Let (ADD)Israel say,
“His mercy is everlasting.”
3 Oh let the (ADE)house of Aaron say,
“His mercy is everlasting.”
4 Let those (ADF)who [kl]fear the Lord say,
“His mercy is everlasting.”
5 From my (ADG)distress I called upon [km]the Lord;
[kn]The Lord answered me and (ADH)put me in an open space.
6 The Lord is (ADI)for me; I will (ADJ)not fear;
(ADK)What can man do to me?
7 The Lord is for me (ADL)among those who help me;
Therefore I will (ADM)look with satisfaction on those who hate me.
8 It is (ADN)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in people.
9 It is (ADO)better to take refuge in the Lord
Than to trust in noblemen.
10 All nations (ADP)surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly (ADQ)fend them off.
11 They (ADR)surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.
12 They surrounded me (ADS)like bees;
They were extinguished like a (ADT)fire of thorn bushes;
In the name of the Lord I will certainly fend them off.
13 You (ADU)pushed me violently so that I [ko]was falling,
But the Lord (ADV)helped me.
14 [kp](ADW)The Lord is my strength and song,
And He has become (ADX)my salvation.
15 The sound of (ADY)joyful shouting and salvation is in the tents of the righteous;
The (ADZ)right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.
16 The (AEA)right hand of the Lord is exalted;
The right hand of the Lord performs valiantly.
17 I (AEB)will not die, but live,
And (AEC)tell of the works of [kq]the Lord.
18 [kr]The Lord has (AED)disciplined me severely,
But He has (AEE)not turned me over to death.
19 (AEF)Open the gates of righteousness to me;
I will enter through them, I will give thanks to [ks]the Lord.
20 This is the gate of the Lord;
The (AEG)righteous will enter through it.
21 I will give thanks to You, for You have (AEH)answered me,
And You have (AEI)become my salvation.
22 A (AEJ)stone which the builders rejected
Has become the [kt]chief cornerstone.
23 This came about from the Lord;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
24 This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let’s (AEK)rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Please, O Lord, (AEL)do save us;
Please, O Lord, do send (AEM)prosperity!
26 (AEN)Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord;
We have (AEO)blessed you from the house of the Lord.
27 (AEP)The Lord is God, and He has given us (AEQ)light;
Bind the festival sacrifice [ku]to the (AER)horns of the altar with cords.
28 (AES)You are my God, and I give thanks to You;
You are my God, (AET)I exalt You.
29 (AEU)Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
