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 upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.'
PSALM 92
1 It is good to praise the Lord and make music to your name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim 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, O Lord ; I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
5 How great are your works, O Lord , how profound your thoughts!
6 The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand,
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8 But you, O Lord , are exalted forever.
9 For surely your enemies, O 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 upon 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 93
1 The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.
3 The seas have lifted up, O Lord , the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea- the Lord on high is mighty.
5 Your statutes stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days, O Lord .
PSALM 94
1 O Lord , the God who avenges, O God who avenges, shine forth.
2 Rise up, O Judge of the earth; pay back to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long will the wicked, O Lord , 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, O Lord ; they oppress your inheritance.
6 They slay the widow and the alien; they murder the fatherless.
7 They say, 'The Lord does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.'
8 Take heed, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
9 Does he who implanted the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?
10 Does he who disciplines nations not punish? Does he who teaches man lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of man; he knows that they are futile.
12 Blessed is the man you discipline, O Lord , the man you teach from your law;
13 you grant him 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.
