Psalm 91-92New International Version (NIV)

Psalm 91



1
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

2
I will say 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 say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,

10
no harm will overtake 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 on 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 on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

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

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.



1
It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O Most High,

2
proclaiming 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, Lord;
I sing for joy at what your hands have done.

5
How great are your works, Lord,
how profound your thoughts!

6
Senseless people do not know,
fools do not understand,

7
that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.



8
But you, Lord, are forever exalted.



9
For surely your enemies, Lord,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.

10
You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
fine oils have been poured on 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.”
