The Protection of the Most High

1 The one who lives under the protection of the Most High

dwells in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will sayto theLord, “My refuge and my fortress,

my God, in whom I trust.”

3 He Himself will deliver you from the hunter’s net,

from the destructive plague.

4 He will cover you with His feathers;

you will take refuge under His wings.

His faithfulness will be a protective shield.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night,

the arrow that flies by day,

6 the plague that stalks in darkness,

or the pestilence that ravages at noon.

7 Though a thousand fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

the pestilence will not reach you.

8 You will only see it with your eyes

and witness the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made theLord— my refuge,

the Most High — your dwelling place,

10 no harm will come to you;

no plague will come near your tent.

11 For He will give His angels orders concerning you,

to protect you in all your ways.

12 They will support you with their hands

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

you will trample the young lion and the serpent.

14 Because he is lovingly devoted to Me,

I will deliver him;

I will protect him because he knows My name.

15 When he calls out to Me, I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble.

I will rescue him and give him honor.

16 I will satisfy him with a long life

and show him My salvation.

God’s Love and Faithfulness

A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.

1 It is good to praise Yahweh,

to sing praise to Your name, Most High,

2 to declare Your faithful love in the morning

and Your faithfulness at night,

3 with a ten-stringed harp

and the music of a lyre.

4 For You have made me rejoice,Lord,

by what You have done;

I will shout for joy

because of the works of Your hands.

5 How magnificent are Your works,Lord,

how profound Your thoughts!

6 A stupid person does not know,

a fool does not understand this:

7 though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be eternally destroyed.

8 But You,Lord, are exalted forever.

9 For indeed,Lord, Your enemies —

indeed, Your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

10 You have lifted up my horn

like that of a wild ox;

I have been anointedwith oil.

11 My eyes look down on my enemies;

my ears hear evildoers when they attack me.

12 The righteous thrive like a palm tree

and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

13 Planted in the house of theLord,

they thrive in the courts of our God.

14 They will still bear fruit in old age,

healthy and green,

15 to declare: “TheLordis just;

He is my rock,

and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

God’s Eternal Reign

1 TheLordreigns! He is robed in majesty;

TheLordis robed, enveloped in strength.

The world is firmly established;

it cannot be shaken.

2 Your throne has been established

from the beginning;

You are from eternity.

3 The floods have lifted up,Lord,

the floods have lifted up their voice;

the floods lift up their pounding waves.

4 Greater than the roar of many waters —

the mighty breakers of the sea —

theLordon high is majestic.

5 Lord, Your testimonies are completely reliable;

holiness is the beauty ofYour house

for all the days to come.

The Just Judge

1 Lord, God of vengeance —

God of vengeance, appear.

2 Rise up, Judge of the earth;

repay the proud what they deserve.

3 Lord, how long will the wicked —

how long will the wicked gloat?

4 They pour out arrogant words;

all the evildoers boast.

5 Lord, they crush Your people;

they afflict Your heritage.

6 They kill the widow and the foreigner

and murder the fatherless.

7 They say, “TheLorddoesn’t see it.

The God of Jacob doesn’t pay attention.”

8 Pay attention, you stupid people!

Fools, when will you be wise?

9 Can the One who shaped the ear not hear,

the One who formed the eye not see?

10 The One who instructs nations,

the One who teaches man knowledge —

does He not discipline?

11 TheLordknows man’s thoughts;

they are meaningless.

12 Lord, happy is the man You discipline

and teach from Your law

13 to give him relief from troubled times

until a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 TheLordwill not forsake His people

or abandon His heritage,

15 for justice will again be righteous,

and all the upright in heart will followit.

16 Who stands up for me against the wicked?

Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?

17 If theLordhad not been my helper,

I would soon rest in the silence of death.

18 If I say, “My foot is slipping,”

Your faithful love will support me,Lord.

19 When I am filled with cares,

Your comfort brings me joy.

20 Can a corrupt throne —

one that creates trouble by law —

become Your ally?

21 They band together against the life of the righteous

and condemn the innocent to death.

22 But theLordis my refuge;

my God is the rock of my protection.

23 He will pay them back for their sins

and destroy them for their evil.

TheLordour God will destroy them.

Worship and Warning

1 Come, let us shout joyfully to theLord,

shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving;

let us shout triumphantly to Him in song.

3 For theLordis a great God,

a great King above all gods.

4 The depths of the earth are in His hand,

and the mountain peaks are His.

5 The sea is His; He made it.

His hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us worship and bow down;

let us kneel before theLordour Maker.

7 For He is our God,

and we are the people of His pasture,

the sheep under His care.

Today, if you hear His voice:

8 Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,

as on that day at Massah in the wilderness

9 where your fathers tested Me;

they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.

10 For 40 years I was disgusted with that generation;

I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray;

they do not know My ways.”

11 So I swore in My anger,

“They will not enter My rest.”
