Psalms 90:1 - Psalms 106:48

BOOK 4: Lord, you have been our dwelling place for all generations.

Lord , you have been our dwelling place for all generations.
Before the mountains were born,before you had formed the earth and the world,even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
You turn man to destruction, saying,"Return, you children of men."
For a thousand years in your sight are just like yesterday when it is past,like a watch in the night.
You sweep them away as they sleep.In the morning they sprout like new grass.
In the morning it sprouts and springs up.By evening, it is withered and dry.
For we are consumed in your anger.We are troubled in your wrath.
You have set our iniquities before you,our secret sins in the light of your presence.
For all our days have passed away in your wrath.We bring our years to an end as a sigh.
10 
The days of our years are seventy,or even by reason of strength eighty years;yet their pride is but labor and sorrow,for it passes quickly, and we fly away.
11 
Who knows the power of your anger,your wrath according to the fear that is due to you?
12 
So teach us to count our days,that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
13 
Relent, The LORD!How long?Have compassion on your servants!
14 
Satisfy us in the morning with your loving kindness,that we may rejoice 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 evil.
16 
Let your work appear to your servants;your glory to their children.
17 
Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us;establish the work of our hands for us;yes, establish the work of our hands.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most Highwill 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."
For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler,and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers.Under his wings you will take refuge.His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,nor of the arrow that flies by day;
nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.
A thousand may fall at your side,and ten thousand at your right hand;but it will not come near you.
You will only look with your eyes,and see the recompense of the wicked.
Because you have made the LORD your refuge,and the Most High your dwelling place,
10 
no evil shall happen to you,neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 
For he will put his angels in charge of you,to guard you in all your ways.
12 
They will bear you up in their hands,so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.
13 
You will tread on the lion and cobra.You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.
14 
"Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him.I will set him on high, because he has known 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 
I will satisfy him with long life,and show him my salvation."

It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord

It is a good thing to give thanks to The LORD,to sing praises to your name, Most High;
to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning,and your faithfulness every night,
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp,and with the melody of the lyre.
For you, The LORD, have made me glad through your work.I will triumph in the works of your hands.
How great are your works, The LORD!Your thoughts are very deep.
A senseless man doesn't know,neither does a fool understand this:
though the wicked spring up as the grass,and all the evildoers flourish,they will be destroyed forever.
But you, The LORD, are on high forever more.
For, behold, your enemies, The LORD,for, behold, your enemies shall perish.All the evildoers will be scattered.
10 
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox.I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 
My eye has also seen my enemies.My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12 
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 
They are planted in The LORD's house.They will flourish in our God's courts.
14 
They will still produce fruit in old age.They will be full of sap and green,
15 
to show that the LORD is upright.He is my rock,and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The Lord reigns! He is clothed with majesty!

The LORD reigns!He is clothed with majesty!The LORD is armed with strength.The world also is established.It can't be moved.
Your throne is established from long ago.You are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, The LORD,the floods have lifted up their voice.The floods lift up their waves.
Above the voices of many waters,the mighty breakers of the sea,The LORD on high is mighty.
Your statutes stand firm.Holiness adorns your house,The LORD, forever more.

O Lord, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.

The LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs,you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out.
Rise up, you judge of the earth.Pay back the proud what they deserve.
The LORD, how long will the wicked,how long will the wicked triumph?
They pour out arrogant words.All the evildoers boast.
They break your people in pieces, The LORD,and afflict your heritage.
They kill the widow and the alien,and murder the fatherless.
They say, "Yah will not see,neither will Jacob's God consider."
Consider, you senseless among the people;you fools, when will you be wise?
He who implanted the ear, won't he hear?He who formed the eye, won't he see?
10 
He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish?He who teaches man knows.
11 
The LORD knows the thoughts of man,that they are futile.
12 
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah,and teach out of your law;
13 
that you may give him rest from the days of adversity,until the pit is dug for the wicked.
14 
For the LORD won't reject his people,neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 
For judgment will return to righteousness.All the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 
Who will rise up for me against the wicked?Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
17 
Unless the LORD had been my help,my soul would have soon lived in silence.
18 
When I said, "My foot is slipping!"Your loving kindness, The LORD, held me up.
19 
In the multitude of my thoughts within me,your comforts delight my soul.
20 
Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you,which brings about mischief by statute?
21 
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,and condemn the innocent blood.
22 
But the LORD has been my high tower,my God, the rock of my refuge.
23 
He has brought on them their own iniquity,and will cut them off in their own wickedness.The LORD, our God, will cut them off.

Oh come, let's sing to the Lord. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

Oh come, let's sing to The LORD.Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving.Let's extol him with songs!
For the LORD is a great God,a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth.The heights of the mountains are also his.
The sea is his, and he made it.His hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let's worship and bow down.Let's kneel before The LORD, our Maker,
for he is our God.We are the people of his pasture,and the sheep in his care.Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah,as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers tempted me,tested me, and saw my work.
10 
Forty long years I was grieved with that generation,and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart.They have not known my ways."
11 
Therefore I swore in my wrath,"They won't enter into my rest."

Sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to O Lord, all the earth.

Sing to the LORD a new song!Sing to The LORD, all the earth.
Sing to The LORD!Bless his name!Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
Declare his glory among the nations,his marvelous works among all the peoples.
For great is The LORD, and greatly to be praised!He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,but the LORD made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are before him.Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to The LORD, you families of nations,ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name.Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
Worship the LORD in holy array.Tremble before him, all the earth.
10 
Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."The world is also established.It can't be moved.He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
12 
Let the field and all that is in it exult!Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
13 
before The LORD; for he comes,for he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world with righteousness,the peoples with his truth.

The Lord reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

The LORD reigns!Let the earth rejoice!Let the multitude of islands be glad!
Clouds and darkness are around him.Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
A fire goes before him,and burns up his adversaries on every side.
His lightning lights up the world.The earth sees, and trembles.
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of The LORD,at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The heavens declare his righteousness.All the peoples have seen his glory.
Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,who boast in their idols.Worship him, all you gods!
Zion heard and was glad.The daughters of Judah rejoiced,because of your judgments, The LORD.
For you, The LORD, are most high above all the earth.You are exalted far above all gods.
10 
You who love The LORD, hate evil.He preserves the souls of his saints.He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 
Light is sown for the righteous,and gladness for the upright in heart.
12 
Be glad in The LORD, you righteous people!Give thanks to his holy Name.

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things!

Sing to the LORD a new song,for he has done marvelous things!His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.
The LORD has made known his salvation.He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel.All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to The LORD, all the earth!Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
Sing praises to the LORD with the harp,with the harp and the voice of melody.
With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn,make a joyful noise before the King, The LORD.
Let the sea roar with its fullness;the world, and those who dwell therein.
Let the rivers clap their hands.Let the mountains sing for joy together.
Let them sing before The LORD,for he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world with righteousness,and the peoples with equity.

The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.

The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble.He sits enthroned among the cherubim.Let the earth be moved.
The LORD is great in Zion.He is high above all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name.He is Holy!
The King's strength also loves justice.You do establish equity.You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the LORD our God.Worship at his footstool.He is Holy!
Moses and Aaron were among his priests,Samuel among those who call on his name;they called on The LORD, and he answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.They kept his testimonies,the statute that he gave them.
You answered them, the LORD our God.You are a God who forgave them,although you took vengeance for their doings.
Exalt The LORD, our God.Worship at his holy hill,for The LORD, our God, is holy!

Shout for joy to the Lord, all you lands!

Shout for joy to The LORD, all you lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness.Come before his presence with singing.
Know that The LORD, he is God.It is he who has made us, and we are his.We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,into his courts with praise.Give thanks to him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good.His loving kindness endures forever,his faithfulness to all generations.

I will sing of loving kindness and justice.

I will sing of loving kindness and justice.To you, The LORD, I will sing praises.
I will be careful to live a blameless life.When will you come to me?I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.
I will set no vile thing before my eyes.I hate the deeds of faithless men.They will not cling to me.
A perverse heart will be far from me.I will have nothing to do with evil.
I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor.I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
My eyes will be on the faithful of the land,that they may dwell with me.He who walks in a perfect way,he will serve me.
He who practices deceit won't dwell within my house.He who speaks falsehood won't be established before my eyes.
Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land;to cut off all the workers of iniquity from The LORD's city.

Hear my prayer, O Lord! Let my cry come to you.

Hear my prayer, The LORD!Let my cry come to you.
Don't hide your face from me in the day of my distress.Turn your ear to me.Answer me quickly in the day when I call.
For my days consume away like smoke.My bones are burned as a torch.
My heart is blighted like grass, and withered,for I forget to eat my bread.
By reason of the voice of my groaning,my bones stick to my skin.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness.I have become as an owl of the waste places.
I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.
My enemies reproach me all day.Those who are mad at me use my name as a curse.
For I have eaten ashes like bread,and mixed my drink with tears,
10 
Because of your indignation and your wrath,for you have taken me up, and thrown me away.
11 
My days are like a long shadow.I have withered like grass.
12 
But you, The LORD, will remain forever;your renown endures to all generations.
13 
You will arise and have mercy on Zion;for it is time to have pity on her.Yes, the set time has come.
14 
For your servants take pleasure in her stones,and have pity on her dust.
15 
So the nations will fear The LORD's name;all the kings of the earth your glory.
16 
For the LORD has built up Zion.He has appeared in his glory.
17 
He has responded to the prayer of the destitute,and has not despised their prayer.
18 
This will be written for the generation to come.A people which will be created will praise Yah.
19 
For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary.From heaven, the LORD saw the earth;
20 
to hear the groans of the prisoner;to free those who are condemned to death;
21 
that men may declare The LORD's name in Zion,and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 
when the peoples are gathered together,the kingdoms, to serve The LORD.
23 
He weakened my strength along the course.He shortened my days.
24 
I said, "My God, don't take me away in the middle of my days.Your years are throughout all generations.
25 
Of old, you laid the foundation of the earth.The heavens are the work of your hands.
26 
They will perish, but you will endure.Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment.You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.
27 
But you are the same.Your years will have no end.
28 
The children of your servants will continue.Their offspring will be established before you."

Praise the Lord, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

Praise The LORD, my soul!All that is within me, praise his holy name!
Praise The LORD, my soul,and don't forget all his benefits;
who forgives all your sins;who heals all your diseases;
who redeems your life from destruction;who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies;
who satisfies your desire with good things,so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
The LORD executes righteous acts,and justice for all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,his deeds to the children of Israel.
The LORD is merciful and gracious,slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
He will not always accuse;neither will he stay angry forever.
10 
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,nor repaid us for our iniquities.
11 
For as the heavens are high above the earth,so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
12 
As far as the east is from the west,so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 
Like a father has compassion on his children,so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
14 
For he knows how we are made.He remembers that we are dust.
15 
As for man, his days are like grass.As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone.Its place remembers it no more.
17 
But The LORD's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,his righteousness to children's children;
18 
to those who keep his covenant,to those who remember to obey his precepts.
19 
The LORD has established his throne in the heavens.His kingdom rules over all.
20 
Praise The LORD, you angels of his,who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word,obeying the voice of his word.
21 
Praise The LORD, all you armies of his,you servants of his, who do his pleasure.
22 
Praise The LORD, all you works of his,in all places of his dominion.Praise The LORD, my soul!

Bless the Lord, my soul. O Lord, my God, you are very great.

Bless The LORD, my soul.The LORD, my God, you are very great.You are clothed with honor and majesty.
He covers himself with light as with a garment.He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.
He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters.He makes the clouds his chariot.He walks on the wings of the wind.
He makes his messengers winds;his servants flames of fire.
He laid the foundations of the earth,that it should not be moved forever.
You covered it with the deep as with a cloak.The waters stood above the mountains.
At your rebuke they fled.At the voice of your thunder they hurried away.
The mountains rose,the valleys sank down,to the place which you had assigned to them.
You have set a boundary that they may not pass over;that they don't turn again to cover the earth.
10 
He sends springs into the valleys.They run among the mountains.
11 
They give drink to every animal of the field.The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 
The birds of the sky nest by them.They sing among the branches.
13 
He waters the mountains from his rooms.The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.
14 
He causes the grass to grow for the livestock,and plants for man to cultivate,that he may produce food out of the earth:
15 
wine that makes glad the heart of man,oil to make his face to shine,and bread that strengthens man's heart.
16 
The LORD's trees are well watered,the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted;
17 
where the birds make their nests.The stork makes its home in the cypress trees.
18 
The high mountains are for the wild goats.The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
19 
He appointed the moon for seasons.The sun knows when to set.
20 
You make darkness, and it is night,in which all the animals of the forest prowl.
21 
The young lions roar after their prey,and seek their food from God.
22 
The sun rises, and they steal away,and lay down in their dens.
23 
Man goes out to his work,to his labor until the evening.
24 
The LORD, how many are your works!In wisdom have you made them all.The earth is full of your riches.
25 
There is the sea, great and wide,in which are innumerable living things,both small and large animals.
26 
There the ships go,and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.
27 
These all wait for you,that you may give them their food in due season.
28 
You give to them; they gather.You open your hand; they are satisfied with good.
29 
You hide your face: they are troubled;you take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust.
30 
You send out your Spirit and they are created.You renew the face of the ground.
31 
Let The LORD's glory endure forever.Let the LORD rejoice in his works.
32 
He looks at the earth, and it trembles.He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 
I will sing to the LORD as long as I live.I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34 
Let my meditation be sweet to him.I will rejoice in The LORD.
35 
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth.Let the wicked be no more.Bless The LORD, my soul.Praise Yah!

Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name!

Give thanks to The LORD! Call on his name!Make his doings known among the peoples.
Sing to him, sing praises to him!Tell of all his marvelous works.
Glory in his holy name.Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Seek the LORD and his strength.Seek his face forever more.
Remember his marvelous works that he has done;his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
you offspring of Abraham, his servant,you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is The LORD, our God.His judgments are in all the earth.
He has remembered his covenant forever,the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
the covenant which he made with Abraham,his oath to Isaac,
10 
and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute;to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 
saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan,the lot of your inheritance";
12 
when they were but a few men in number,yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13 
They went about from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another people.
14 
He allowed no one to do them wrong.Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15 
"Don't touch my anointed ones!Do my prophets no harm!"
16 
He called for a famine on the land.He destroyed the food supplies.
17 
He sent a man before them.Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 
They bruised his feet with shackles.His neck was locked in irons,
19 
until the time that his word happened,and The LORD's word proved him true.
20 
The king sent and freed him;even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 
He made him lord of his house,and ruler of all of his possessions;
22 
to discipline his princes at his pleasure,and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 
Israel also came into Egypt.Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
24 
He increased his people greatly,and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25 
He turned their heart to hate his people,to conspire against his servants.
26 
He sent Moses, his servant,and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 
They performed miracles among them,and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 
He sent darkness, and made it dark.They didn't rebel against his words.
29 
He turned their waters into blood,and killed their fish.
30 
Their land swarmed with frogs,even in the rooms of their kings.
31 
He spoke, and swarms of flies came,and lice in all their borders.
32 
He gave them hail for rain,with lightning in their land.
33 
He struck their vines and also their fig trees,and shattered the trees of their country.
34 
He spoke, and the locusts came,and the grasshoppers, without number,
35 
ate up every plant in their land;and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 
He struck also all the firstborn in their land,the first fruits of all their manhood.
37 
He brought them out with silver and gold.There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38 
Egypt was glad when they departed,for the fear of them had fallen on them.
39 
He spread a cloud for a covering,fire to give light in the night.
40 
They asked, and he brought quails,and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41 
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.They ran as a river in the dry places.
42 
For he remembered his holy word,and Abraham, his servant.
43 
He brought his people out with joy,his chosen with singing.
44 
He gave them the lands of the nations.They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45 
that they might keep his statutes,and observe his laws.Praise Yah!

Praise the Lord! Give thanks to O Lord, for he is good

Praise The LORD!Give thanks to The LORD, for he is good,for his loving kindness endures forever.
Who can utter the mighty acts of The LORD,or fully declare all his praise?
Blessed are those who keep justice.Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
Remember me, The LORD, with the favor that you show to your people.Visit me with your salvation,
that I may see the prosperity of your chosen,that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,that I may glory with your inheritance.
We have sinned with our fathers.We have committed iniquity.We have done wickedly.
Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt.They didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses,but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,that he might make his mighty power known.
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up;so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10 
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 
The waters covered their adversaries.There was not one of them left.
12 
Then they believed his words.They sang his praise.
13 
They soon forgot his works.They didn't wait for his counsel,
14 
but gave in to craving in the desert,and tested God in the wasteland.
15 
He gave them their request,but sent leanness into their soul.
16 
They envied Moses also in the camp,and Aaron, The LORD's saint.
17 
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,and covered the company of Abiram.
18 
A fire was kindled in their company.The flame burned up the wicked.
19 
They made a calf in Horeb,and worshiped a molten image.
20 
Thus they exchanged their gloryfor an image of a bull that eats grass.
21 
They forgot God, their Savior,who had done great things in Egypt,
22 
Wondrous works in the land of Ham,and awesome things by the Red Sea.
23 
Therefore he said that he would destroy them,had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach,to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.
24 
Yes, they despised the pleasant land.They didn't believe his word,
25 
but murmured in their tents,and didn't listen to The LORD's voice.
26 
Therefore he swore to themthat he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 
that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations,and scatter them in the lands.
28 
They joined themselves also to Baal Peor,and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 
Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds.The plague broke in on them.
30 
Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment,so the plague was stopped.
31 
That was credited to him for righteousness,for all generations to come.
32 
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
33 
because they were rebellious against his spirit,he spoke rashly with his lips.
34 
They didn't destroy the peoples,as the LORD commanded them,
35 
but mixed themselves with the nations,and learned their works.
36 
They served their idols,which became a snare to them.
37 
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38 
They shed innocent blood,even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.The land was polluted with blood.
39 
Thus were they defiled with their works,and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40 
Therefore the LORD burned with anger against his people.He abhorred his inheritance.
41 
He gave them into the hand of the nations.Those who hated them ruled over them.
42 
Their enemies also oppressed them.They were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 
He rescued them many times,but they were rebellious in their counsel,and were brought low in their iniquity.
44 
Nevertheless he regarded their distress,when he heard their cry.
45 
He remembered for them his covenant,and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
46
