Psa 81:2 Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.

Psa 81:3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.

Psa 81:4 For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

Psa 81:5 He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:

Psa 81:6 "I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket.

Psa 81:7 "You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

Psa 81:8 "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me!

Psa 81:9 "Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.

Psa 81:10 "I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Psa 81:11 "But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.

Psa 81:12 "So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.

Psa 81:13 "Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

Psa 81:14 "I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries.

Psa 81:15 "Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.

Psa 81:16 "But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."

Psa 88:1 O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You.

Psa 88:2 Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry!

Psa 88:3 For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.

Psa 88:4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,

Psa 88:5 Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are cut off from Your hand.

Psa 88:6 You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.

Psa 88:7 Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.

Psa 88:8 You have removed my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an object of loathing to them; I am shut up and cannot go out.

Psa 88:9 My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon You every day, O Lord; I have spread out my hands to You.

Psa 88:10 Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.

Psa 88:11 Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?

Psa 88:12 Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

Psa 88:13 But I, O Lord, have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.

Psa 88:14 O Lord, why do You reject my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?

Psa 88:15 I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.

Psa 88:16 Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.

Psa 88:17 They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.

Psa 88:18 You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.

--------

Psa 92:1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;

Psa 92:2 To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night,

Psa 92:3 With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, With resounding music upon the lyre.

Psa 92:4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

Psa 92:5 How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.

Psa 92:6 A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this:

Psa 92:7 That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

Psa 92:8 But You, O Lord, are on high forever.

Psa 92:9 For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be scattered.

Psa 92:10 But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.

Psa 92:11 And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

Psa 92:12 The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Psa 92:13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God.

Psa 92:14 They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green,

Psa 92:15 To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

--------

Psa 93:1 The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.

Psa 93:2 Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.

Psa 93:3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding waves.

Psa 93:4 More than the sounds of many waters, Than the mighty breakers of the sea, The Lord on high is mighty.

Psa 93:5 Your testimonies are fully confirmed; Holiness befits Your house, O Lord, forevermore.
