Psalm 91

 ¹ He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
       will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. ^[a]

 ² I will say ^[b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
       my God, in whom I trust."

 ³ Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
       and from the deadly pestilence.

 ⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
       and under his wings you will find refuge;
       his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

 ⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
       nor the arrow that flies by day,

 ⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
       nor the plague that destroys at midday.

 ⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
       ten thousand at your right hand,
       but it will not come near you.

 ⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
       and see the punishment of the wicked.

 ⁹ If you make the Most High your dwelling—
       even the LORD, who is my refuge-

 ¹⁰ then no harm will befall you,
       no disaster will come near 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 upon the lion and the cobra;
       you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

 ¹⁴ "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
       I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

 ¹⁵ He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
       I will be with him in trouble,
       I will deliver him and honor him.

 ¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him
       and show him my salvation."

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

 ² to proclaim your love in the morning
       and your faithfulness at night,

 ³ to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
       and the melody of the harp.

 ⁴ For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD;
       I sing for joy at the works of your hands.

 ⁵ How great are your works, O LORD,
       how profound your thoughts!

 ⁶ The senseless man does not know,
       fools do not understand,

 ⁷ that though the wicked spring up 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 You have exalted my horn ^[c] like that of a wild ox;
       fine oils have been poured upon me.

 ¹¹ My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
       my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

 ¹² The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
       they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

 ¹³ planted in the house of the LORD,
       they will flourish in the courts of our God.

 ¹⁴ They will still bear fruit in old age,
       they will stay fresh and green,

 ¹⁵ proclaiming, "The LORD is upright;
       he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."

Psalm 93

 ¹ The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty;
       the LORD is robed in majesty
       and is armed with strength.
       The world is firmly established;
       it cannot be moved.

 ² Your throne was established long ago;
       you are from all eternity.

 ³ The seas have lifted up, O LORD,
       the seas have lifted up their voice;
       the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

 ⁴ Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
       mightier than the breakers of the sea—
       the LORD on high is mighty.

 ⁵ Your statutes stand firm;
       holiness adorns your house
       for endless days, O LORD.

Romans 15

 ¹We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. ²Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. ³For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me."^{[a] 4}For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

 ⁵May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, ⁶so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 ⁷Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. ⁸For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews^[b]on behalf of God's truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs ⁹so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written:
   "Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
      I will sing hymns to your name."^{[c] 10}Again, it says,
   "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people."^{[d] 11}And again,
   "Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
      and sing praises to him, all you peoples."^{[e] 12}And again, Isaiah says,
   "The Root of Jesse will spring up,
      one who will arise to rule over the nations;
   the Gentiles will hope in him."^[f]

 ¹³May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
