in which thou hast afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil. 16 Let thy work appear to thy servants, and thy glory to their children. 17 And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
PSALM 91.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [1]
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the perilous pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come near thee.
8 Only with thy eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, who is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come near thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. [2]
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. [3]
PSALM 92.
A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, and to sing praises to thy name, O most High:
2 To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, [4]
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. [5] [6]
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A stupid man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
9 For, lo, thy enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; [7]
15 To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
PSALM 93.
The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he hath girded himself: the world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. [8]
3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift their waves.
4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O LORD, for ever. [9]
PSALM 94.
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself. [10] [11]
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The LORD shall not see,
