Psalm 88

New American Standard Bible

A Petition to Be Saved from Death.

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the music director; according to Mahalath Leannoth. A ^[a]Maskil of Heman ^[b]the Ezrahite.

88 Lord, the ^(A)God of my salvation,
I have ^(B)cried out by day and in the night before You.
²Let my prayer ^(C)come before You;
^(D)Incline Your ear to my cry!
³For my ^(E)soul has ^[c]had enough troubles,
And ^(F)my life has approached ^[d]Sheol.
⁴I am counted among those who ^(G)go down to the pit;
I have become like a man ^(H)without strength,
⁵^[e]Abandoned ^(I)among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You no longer remember,
And they are ^(J)cut off from Your hand.
⁶You have put me in ^(K)the lowest pit,
In ^(L)dark places, in the ^(M)depths.
⁷Your wrath ^(N)has rested upon me,
And You have afflicted me with ^(O)all Your waves. Selah
⁸You have removed ^(P)my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an ^[f]^(Q)object of loathing to them;
I am ^(R)shut up and cannot go out.
⁹My ^(S)eye grows dim from misery;
I have ^(T)called upon You every day, Lord;
I have ^(U)spread out my ^[g]hands to You.

¹⁰Will You perform wonders for the dead?
Or will ^(V)the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah
¹¹Will Your graciousness be declared in the grave,
Your faithfulness in ^[h]Abaddon?
¹²Will Your wonders be made known in the ^(W)darkness?
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

¹³But I, Lord, have cried out ^(X)to You for help,
And ^(Y)in the morning my prayer comes before You.
¹⁴Lord, why ^(Z)do You reject my soul?
Why do You ^(AA)hide Your face from me?
¹⁵I was miserable and ^(AB)about to die from my youth on;
I suffer ^(AC)Your terrors; I grow weary.
¹⁶Your ^(AD)burning anger has passed over me;
Your terrors have ^[i]^(AE)destroyed me.
¹⁷They have ^(AF)surrounded me ^(AG)like water all day long;
They have ^(AH)encircled me altogether.
¹⁸You have removed ^(AI)lover and friend far from me;
My acquaintances are in a hiding place.

Psalm 91

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.”

Psalm 92

New American Standard Bible

Praise for the Lord’s Goodness.

A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.

92 It is ^(A)good to give thanks to the Lord
And to ^(B)sing praises to Your name, Most High;
²To ^(C)declare Your goodness in the morning
And Your ^(D)faithfulness by ^[a]night,
³^[b]With the ^(E)ten-stringed lute and ^[c]with the ^(F)harp,
^[d]With resounding music on the ^(G)lyre.
⁴For You, Lord, have made me joyful by ^[e]what You ^(H)have done,
I will ^(I)sing for joy over the ^(J)works of Your hands.

⁵How ^(K)great are Your works, Lord!
Your ^[f]^(L)thoughts are very ^(M)deep.
⁶A ^(N)stupid person has no knowledge,
Nor does a ^(O)foolish person understand this:
⁷When the wicked ^(P)sprouted up like grass
And all ^(Q)who did injustice flourished,
It was only that they might be ^(R)destroyed forevermore.
⁸But You, Lord, are ^(S)on high forever.
⁹For, behold, Your enemies, Lord,
For, behold, ^(T)Your enemies will perish;
All who do injustice will be ^(U)scattered.

¹⁰But You have exalted my ^(V)horn like that of the wild ox;
I have ^[g]been ^(W)anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹And my eye has ^(X)looked at my enemies,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
¹²The ^(Y)righteous person will ^[h]flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a ^(Z)cedar in Lebanon.
¹³^(AA)Planted in the house of the Lord,
They will flourish ^(AB)in the courtyards of our God.
¹⁴They will still ^[i]^(AC)yield fruit in advanced age;
They will be ^[j]full of sap and very green,
¹⁵To ^[k]declare that ^(AD)the Lord is just;
He is my ^(AE)rock, and there is ^(AF)no malice in Him.
