Psalm 94 1 The Lord is a God who avenges. O God who avenges, shine forth.2 Rise up, Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.3 How long, Lord, will the wicked, how long will the wicked be jubilant? 4 They pour out arrogant words; all the evildoers are full of boasting.5 They crush your people, Lord; they oppress your inheritance.6 They slay the widow and the foreigner; they murd...

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...

Psalm 90 1 Lord, you have been our dwelling place    throughout all generations.2 Before the mountains were born    or you brought forth the whole world,    from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 3 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.5 Yet you sweep peo...

*** Don’t worry! I decided not to read this entire Psalm, or break it up over a few weeks. I chose to pick some things that stood out to me and cover that, so don’t be afraid to listen. Ha! If you would like, read the Psalm first and then listen to the audio. Thank you. Psalm 89 1 I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever;    with my mouth I will make your faithfulness known    through all gene...

Psalm 88 1 Lord, you are the God who saves me;    day and night I cry out to you.2 May my prayer come before you;    turn your ear to my cry. 3 I am overwhelmed with troubles    and my life draws near to death.4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;    I am like one without strength.5 I am set apart with the dead,    like the slain who lie in the grave,whom you remember no more,    who...

Psalm 87 1 He has founded his city on the holy mountain.2 The Lord loves the gates of Zion    more than all the other dwellings of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are said of you,    city of God:4 “I will record Rahab and Babylon    among those who acknowledge me—Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush—    and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’”5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said,    “This one and tha...

Psalm 86 1 Hear me, Lord, and answer me,    for I am poor and needy.2 Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;    save your servant who trusts in you.

Psalm 84 1 How lovely is your dwelling place,    Lord Almighty!2 My soul yearns, even faints,    for the courts of the Lord;my heart and my flesh cry out    for the living God.3 Even the sparrow has found a home,    and the swallow a nest for herself,    where she may have her young—a place near your altar,    Lord Almighty, my King and my God.4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;    they a...

Psalm 83 1 O God, do not remain silent;    do not turn a deaf ear,    do not stand aloof, O God.2 See how your enemies growl,    how your foes rear their heads.3 With cunning they conspire against your people;    they plot against those you cherish.4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,    so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.” 5 With one mind they plot together;    they form...

Psalm 82 1 God presides in the great assembly;    he renders judgment among the “gods”: 2 “How long will you defend the unjust    and show partiality to the wicked?3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;    uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.4 Rescue the weak and the needy;    deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.    They walk abou...

Psalm 81 1 Sing for joy to God our strength;    shout aloud to the God of Jacob!2 Begin the music, strike the timbrel,    play the melodious harp and lyre. 3 Sound the ram’s horn at the New Moon,    and when the moon is full, on the day of our festival;4 this is a decree for Israel,    an ordinance of the God of Jacob.5 When God went out against Egypt,    he established it as a statute for Joseph....

Psalm 80 1 Hear us, Shepherd of Israel,    you who lead Joseph like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim,    shine forth 2 before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh. Awaken your might;    come and save us. 3 Restore us, O God;    make your face shine on us,    that we may be saved. 4 How long, Lord God Almighty,    will your anger smolder    against the prayers of your people?5 You have...

Psalm 79 1 O God, the nations have invaded your inheritance;    they have defiled your holy temple,    they have reduced Jerusalem to rubble.2 They have left the dead bodies of your servants    as food for the birds of the sky,    the flesh of your own people for the animals of the wild.3 They have poured out blood like water    all around Jerusalem,    and there is no one to bury the dead.4 We ar...

Psalm 78 vs 56-72 56 But they put God to the test    and rebelled against the Most High;    they did not keep his statutes.57 Like their ancestors they were disloyal and faithless,    as unreliable as a faulty bow.58 They angered him with their high places;    they aroused his jealousy with their idols.59 When God heard them, he was furious;    he rejected Israel completely.60 He abandoned the tab...

Psalm 78 vs 32-55 32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;    in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.33 So he ended their days in futility    and their years in terror.34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;    they eagerly turned to him again.35 They remembered that God was their Rock,    that God Most High was their Redeemer.36 But then they would flatter him with their mout...
