PSALM NINETY FOUR

 
Psalm 94

The Lord is a God who avenges.
    O God who avenges, shine forth.

Rise up, Judge of the earth;
    pay back to the proud what they deserve.

How long, Lord, will the wicked,
    how long will the wicked be jubilant?

They pour out arrogant words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.

They crush your people, Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.

They slay the widow and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.

7 

They say, ‘The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob takes no notice.’

Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?

Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?

10 

Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?

11 

The Lord knows all human plans;
    he knows that they are futile.

12 

Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord,
    the one you teach from your law;

13 

you grant them relief from days of trouble,
    till a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 

For the Lord will not reject his people;
    he will never forsake his inheritance.

15 

Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
    and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 

Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

17 

Unless the Lord had given me help,
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18 

When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.

19 

When anxiety was great within me,
    your consolation brought me joy.

20 

Can a corrupt throne be allied with you –
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?

21 

The wicked band together against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent to death.

22 

But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

23 

He will repay them for their sins
    and destroy them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.

PSALM NINETY THREE


 Psalm 93

The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty;
    the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength;
    indeed, the world is established, firm and secure.

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

The seas have lifted up, Lord,
    the seas have lifted up their voice;
    the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
    mightier than the breakers of the sea –
    the Lord on high is mighty.

Your statutes, Lord, stand firm;
    holiness adorns your house
    for endless days.

PSALM NINETY TWO

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

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.

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!

Senseless people do not know,
    fools do not understand,

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

But you, Lord, are for ever exalted.

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.’

PSALM NINETY ONE

 

Psalm 91

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

I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress,
    my God, in whom I trust.’

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

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

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

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 honour him.

16 

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

PSALM NINETY




The Books of Psalms  - Overview


Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses the man of God.

1 

Lord, you have been our dwelling-place
    throughout all generations.

Before the mountains were born
    or you brought forth the whole world,
    from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

You turn people back to dust,
    saying, ‘Return to dust, you mortals.’

4 

A thousand years in your sight
    are like a day that has just gone by,
    or like a watch in the night.

Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death –
    they are like the new grass of the morning:

6 

In the morning it springs up new,
    but by evening it is dry and withered.

7 

We are consumed by your anger
    and terrified by your indignation.

You have set our iniquities before you,
    our secret sins in the light of your presence.

All our days pass away under your wrath;
    we finish our years with a moan.

10 

Our days may come to seventy years,
    or eighty, if our strength endures;
yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow,
    for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

11 

If only we knew the power of your anger!
    Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.

12 

Teach us to number our days,
    that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

13 

Relent, Lord! How long will it be?
    Have compassion on your servants.

14 

Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
    that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

15 

Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    for as many years as we have seen trouble.

16 

May your deeds be shown to your servants,
    your splendour to their children.

17 

May the favour of the Lord our God rest on us;
    establish the work of our hands for us –
    yes, establish the work of our hands.

Paul's Letter to the GALATIANS - Chapter Six

 


1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. 2 Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. 4 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, 5 for each one should carry their own load. 6 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

————————

11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!

12 Those who want to impress people by means of the flesh are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh. 14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything; what counts is the new creation. 16 Peace and mercy to all who follow this rule – to the Israel of God.

17 From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.

18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.
