Psalm 91-93

New American Standard Bible

Security of One Who Trusts in the Lord.

91 One who dwells in the ^(A)shelter of the Most High
Will lodge in the ^(B)shadow of the Almighty.
²I will say to the Lord, “My ^(C)refuge and my ^(D)fortress,
My God, in whom I ^(E)trust!”
³For it is He who rescues you from the ^(F)net of the trapper
And from the deadly ^(G)plague.
⁴He will ^(H)cover you with His pinions,
And ^(I)under His wings you may take refuge;
His ^(J)faithfulness is a ^(K)shield and wall.

⁵You ^(L)will not be afraid of the ^(M)terror by night,
Or of the ^(N)arrow that flies by day;
⁶Of the ^(O)plague that ^[a]stalks in darkness,
Or of the ^(P)destruction that devastates at noon.
⁷A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But ^(Q)it shall not approach you.
⁸You will only look on with your eyes
And ^(R)see the retaliation against the wicked.
⁹^[b]For you have made the Lord, ^(S)my refuge,
The Most High, ^(T)your dwelling place.
¹⁰^(U)No evil will happen to you,
Nor will any plague come near your ^[c]tent.

¹¹For He will give ^(V)His angels orders concerning you,
To protect you in all your ways.
¹²On their hands they will ^(W)lift you up,
So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³You will ^(X)walk upon the lion and cobra,
You will trample the young lion and the ^[d]serpent.

¹⁴“^(Y)Because he has loved Me, I will save him;
I will ^(Z)set him securely on high, because he has ^(AA)known My name.
¹⁵He will ^(AB)call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in ^[e]trouble;
I will rescue him and ^(AC)honor him.
¹⁶I will satisfy him with ^[f]a ^(AD)long life,
And ^[g]^(AE)show him My salvation.”

Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.

A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.

92 It is ^(AF)good to give thanks to the Lord
And to ^(AG)sing praises to Your name, Most High;
²To ^(AH)declare Your goodness in the morning
And Your ^(AI)faithfulness by ^[h]night,
³^[i]With the ^(AJ)ten-stringed lute and ^[j]with the ^(AK)harp,
^[k]With resounding music on the ^(AL)lyre.
⁴For You, Lord, have made me joyful by ^[l]what You ^(AM)have done,
I will ^(AN)sing for joy over the ^(AO)works of Your hands.

⁵How ^(AP)great are Your works, Lord!
Your ^[m]^(AQ)thoughts are very ^(AR)deep.
⁶A ^(AS)stupid person has no knowledge,
Nor does a ^(AT)foolish person understand this:
⁷When the wicked ^(AU)sprouted up like grass
And all ^(AV)who did injustice flourished,
It was only that they might be ^(AW)destroyed forevermore.
⁸But You, Lord, are ^(AX)on high forever.
⁹For, behold, Your enemies, Lord,
For, behold, ^(AY)Your enemies will perish;
All who do injustice will be ^(AZ)scattered.

¹⁰But You have exalted my ^(BA)horn like that of the wild ox;
I have ^[n]been ^(BB)anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹And my eye has ^(BC)looked at my enemies,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
¹²The ^(BD)righteous person will ^[o]flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a ^(BE)cedar in Lebanon.
¹³^(BF)Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish ^(BG)in the courtyards of our God.
¹⁴They will still ^[p]^(BH)yield fruit in advanced age;
They will be ^[q]full of sap and very green,
¹⁵To ^[r]declare that ^(BI)the Lord is just;
He is my ^(BJ)rock, and there is ^(BK)no malice in Him.

The Majesty of the Lord.

93 ^(BL)The Lord ^[s]reigns, He is ^(BM)clothed with majesty;
The Lord has ^(BN)clothed and encircled Himself with strength.
Indeed, the ^(BO)world is firmly established; it will not be moved.
²Your ^(BP)throne is established from of old;
You ^(BQ)are from eternity.

³The ^(BR)floods have lifted up, Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice,
The floods lift up their pounding waves.
⁴More than the sounds of many waters,
Than the mighty breakers of the sea,
The Lord ^(BS)on high is mighty.
⁵Your ^(BT)testimonies are fully confirmed;
^(BU)Holiness is pleasing to Your house,
Lord, ^[t]forevermore.

New American Standard Bible

Self-denial in behalf of Others

15 Now we who are strong ought to bear the weaknesses of ^(A)those without strength, and not just please ourselves. ²Each of us is to ^(B)please his neighbor ^[a]for his good, to his ^(C)edification. ³For even ^(D)Christ did not please Himself, but as it is written: “^(E)The taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on Me.” ⁴For ^(F)whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. ⁵Now may the ^(G)God ^[b]who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you ^(H)to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus, ⁶so that with one purpose and one ^[c]voice you may glorify ^(I)the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁷Therefore, ^[d]^(J)accept one another, just as Christ also accepted ^[e]us, for the glory of God. ⁸For I say that Christ has become a servant to ^(K)the circumcision in behalf of the truth of God, to confirm ^(L)the promises given to the fathers, ⁹and for ^(M)the Gentiles to ^(N)glorify God for His mercy; as it is written:
