Bible in 90 Days Plan

¹Wrongdoing speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes.

²For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his wrongful deed and the hatred of it.

³The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

⁴He plans wickedness on his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not reject evil.

⁵Your mercy, LORD, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

⁶Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep. LORD, You protect mankind and animals.

⁷How precious is Your mercy, God! And the sons of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.

⁸They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights.

⁹For the fountain of life is with You; In Your light we see light.

¹⁰Prolong Your mercy to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart.

¹¹May the foot of pride not come upon me, And may the hand of the wicked not drive me away.

¹²Those who do injustice have fallen there; They have been thrust down and cannot rise.

¹Do not get upset because of evildoers, Do not be envious of wrongdoers.

²For they will wither quickly like the grass, And decay like the green plants.

³Trust in the LORD and do good; Live in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

⁴Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.

⁵Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

⁶He will bring out your righteousness as the light, And your judgment as the noonday.

⁷Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not get upset because of one who is successful in his way, Because of the person who carries out wicked schemes.

⁸Cease from anger and abandon wrath; Do not get upset; it leads only to evildoing.

⁹For evildoers will be eliminated, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.

¹⁰Yet a little while and the wicked person will be no more; And you will look carefully for his place and he will not be there.

¹¹But the humble will inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity.

¹²The wicked plots against the righteous, And gnashes at him with his teeth.

¹³The Lord laughs at him, For He sees that his day is coming.

¹⁴The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To take down the afflicted and the needy, To kill off those who are upright in conduct.

¹⁵Their sword will enter their own heart, And their bows will be broken.

¹⁶Better is the little of the righteous Than the abundance of many wicked.

¹⁷For the arms of the wicked will be broken, But the LORD sustains the righteous.

¹⁸The LORD knows the days of the blameless, And their inheritance will be forever.

¹⁹They will not be ashamed in the time of evil, And in the days of famine they will have plenty.

²⁰But the wicked will perish; And the enemies of the LORD will be like the glory of the pastures, They vanish—like smoke they vanish away.

²¹The wicked borrows and does not pay back, But the righteous is gracious and gives.

²²For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, But those cursed by Him will be eliminated.

²³The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way.

²⁴When he falls, he will not be hurled down, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand.

²⁵I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging for bread.

²⁶All day long he is gracious and lends, And his descendants are a blessing.

²⁷Turn from evil and do good, So that you will dwell forever.

²⁸For the LORD loves justice And does not abandon His godly ones; They are protected forever, But the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated.

²⁹The righteous will inherit the land And dwell in it forever.

³⁰The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.

³¹The Law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip.

³²The wicked spies upon the righteous And seeks to kill him.

³³The LORD will not leave him in his hand Or let him be condemned when he is judged.

³⁴Wait for the LORD and keep His way, And He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are eliminated, you will see it.

³⁵I have seen a wicked, violent person Spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

³⁶Then he passed away, and behold, he was no more; I searched for him, but he could not be found.

³⁷Observe the blameless person, and look at the upright; For the person of peace will have a future.

³⁸But wrongdoers will altogether be destroyed; The future of the wicked will be eliminated.

³⁹But the salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their strength in time of trouble.

⁴⁰The LORD helps them and rescues them; He rescues them from the wicked and saves them, Because they take refuge in Him.

¹LORD, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, And do not punish me in Your burning anger.

²For Your arrows have sunk deep into me, And Your hand has pressed down on me.

³There is no healthy part in my flesh because of Your indignation; There is no health in my bones because of my sin.

⁴For my guilty deeds have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

⁵My wounds grow foul and fester Because of my foolishness.

⁶I am bent over and greatly bowed down; I go in mourning all day long.

⁷For my sides are filled with burning, And there is no healthy part in my flesh.

⁸I feel faint and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

⁹Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.

¹⁰My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

¹¹My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand far away.

¹²Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they plot deception all day long.

¹³But I, like a person who is deaf, do not hear; And I am like a person who cannot speak, who does not open his mouth.

¹⁴Yes, I am like a person who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.

¹⁵For I wait for You, LORD; You will answer, Lord my God.

¹⁶For I said, “May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would exalt themselves over me.”

¹⁷For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

¹⁸For I admit my guilt; I am full of anxiety because of my sin.

¹⁹But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And those who wrongfully hate me are many.

²⁰And those who repay evil for good, They become my enemies, because I follow what is good.

²¹Do not abandon me, LORD; My God, do not be far from me!

²²Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation!

¹I said, “I will keep watch over my ways So that I do not sin with my tongue; I will keep watch over my mouth as with a muzzle While the wicked are in my presence.”

²I was mute and silent, I refused to say even something good, And my pain was stirred up.

³My heart was hot within me, While I was musing the fire burned; Then I spoke with my tongue:

⁴“LORD, let me know my end, And what is the extent of my days; Let me know how transient I am.

⁵Behold, You have made my days like hand widths, And my lifetime as nothing in Your sight; Certainly all mankind standing is a mere breath. Selah

⁶Certainly every person walks around as a fleeting shadow; They certainly make an uproar for nothing; He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

⁷“And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.

⁸Save me from all my wrongdoings; Do not make me an object of reproach for the foolish.

⁹I have become mute, I do not open my mouth, Because it is You who have done it.

¹⁰Remove Your plague from me; Because of the opposition of Your hand I am perishing.

¹¹With rebukes You punish a person for wrongdoing; You consume like a moth what is precious to him; Certainly all mankind is mere breath! Selah

¹²“Hear my prayer, LORD, and listen to my cry for help; Do not be silent to my tears; For I am a stranger with You, One who lives abroad, like all my fathers.

¹³Turn Your eyes away from me, that I may become cheerful again Before I depart and am no more.”

¹I waited patiently for the LORD; And He reached down to me and heard my cry.

²He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the mud; And He set my feet on a rock, making my footsteps firm.

³He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see and fear And will trust in the LORD.

⁴How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust, And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who become involved in falsehood.

⁵Many, LORD my God, are the wonders which You have done, And Your thoughts toward us; There is no one to compare with You. If I would declare and speak of them, They would be too numerous to count.

⁶You have not desired sacrifice and meal offering; You have opened my ears; You have not required burnt offering and sin offering.

⁷Then I said, “Behold, I have come; It is written of me in the scroll of the book.

⁸I delight to do Your will, my God; Your Law is within my heart.”

⁹I have proclaimed good news of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, LORD, You know.

¹⁰I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your mercy and Your truth from the great congregation.

¹¹You, LORD, will not withhold Your compassion from me; Your mercy and Your truth will continually watch over me.

¹²For evils beyond number have surrounded me; My guilty deeds have overtaken me, so that I am not able to see; They are more numerous than the hairs of my head, And my heart has failed me.

¹³Be pleased, LORD, to rescue me; Hurry, LORD, to help me.

¹⁴May those be ashamed and humiliated together Who seek my life to destroy it; May those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in my hurt.

¹⁵May those be appalled because of their shame Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

¹⁶May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; May those who love Your salvation continually say, “The LORD be exalted!”

¹⁷But I am afflicted and needy; May the Lord be mindful of me. You are my help and my savior; Do not delay, my God.

¹Blessed is one who considers the helpless; The LORD will save him on a day of trouble.

²The LORD will protect him and keep him alive, And he will be called blessed upon the earth; And do not turn him over to the desire of his enemies.

³The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.

⁴As for me, I said, “LORD, be gracious to me; Heal my soul, for I have sinned against You.”

⁵My enemies speak evil against me, “When will he die, and his name perish?”

⁶And when he comes to see me, he speaks empty words; His heart gathers wickedness to itself; When he goes outside, he tells it.

⁷All who hate me whisper together against me; They plot my harm against me, saying,

⁸“A wicked thing is poured out upon him, So that when he lies down, he will not get up again.”

⁹Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.

¹⁰But You, LORD, be gracious to me and raise me up, That I may repay them.

¹¹By this I know that You are pleased with me, Because my enemy does not shout in triumph over me.

¹²As for me, You uphold me in my integrity, And You place me in Your presence forever.

¹³Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen and Amen.

¹As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, God.

²My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God?

³My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

⁴I remember these things and pour out my soul within me. For I used to go over with the multitude and walk them to the house of God, With a voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude celebrating a festival.

⁵Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

⁶My soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

⁷Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have passed over me.

⁸The LORD will send His goodness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.

⁹I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

¹⁰As a shattering of my bones, my adversaries taunt me, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?”

¹¹Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

¹Vindicate me, God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; Save me from the deceitful and unjust person!

²For You are the God of my strength; why have You rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

³Send out Your light and Your truth, they shall lead me; They shall bring me to Your holy hill And to Your dwelling places.

⁴Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And I will praise You on the lyre, God, my God.

⁵Why are you in despair, my soul? And why are you restless within me? Wait for God, for I will again praise Him For the help of His presence, my God.

¹God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us The work that You did in their days, In the days of old.

²You with Your own hand drove out the nations; Then You planted them; You afflicted the peoples, Then You let them go free.

³For by their own sword they did not possess the land, And their own arm did not save them, But Your right hand and Your arm and the light of Your presence, For You favored them.

⁴You are my King, God; Command victories for Jacob.

⁵Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.

⁶For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me.

⁷But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us.

⁸In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah

⁹Yet You have rejected us and brought us to dishonor, And do not go out with our armies.

¹⁰You cause us to turn back from the enemy; And those who hate us have taken spoils for themselves.

¹¹You turn us over to be eaten like sheep, And have scattered us among the nations.

¹²You sell Your people cheaply, And have not profited by their sale.

¹³You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, Of scoffing and ridicule to those around us.

¹⁴You make us a proverb among the nations, A laughingstock among the peoples.

¹⁵All day long my dishonor is before me And I am covered with my humiliation,

¹⁶Because of the voice of one who taunts and reviles, Because of the presence of the enemy and the avenger.

¹⁷All this has come upon us, but we have not forgotten You, And we have not dealt falsely with Your covenant.

¹⁸Our heart has not turned back, And our steps have not deviated from Your way,

¹⁹Yet You have crushed us in a place of jackals And covered us with deep darkness.

²⁰If we had forgotten the name of our God Or extended our hands to a strange god,

²¹Would God not find this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.

²²But for Your sake we are killed all day long; We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.

²³Wake Yourself up, why do You sleep, Lord? Awake, do not reject us forever.

²⁴Why do You hide Your face And forget our affliction and oppression?

²⁵For our souls have sunk down into the dust; Our bodies cling to the earth.

²⁶Rise up, be our help, And redeem us because of Your mercy.

¹My heart is moved with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

²You are the most handsome of the sons of mankind; Grace is poured upon Your lips; Therefore God has blessed You forever.

³Strap Your sword on Your thigh, Mighty One, In Your splendor and majesty!

⁴And in Your majesty ride on victoriously, For the cause of truth, humility, and righteousness; Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.

⁵Your arrows are sharp; The peoples fall under You; Your arrows are in the heart of the King’s enemies.

⁶Your throne, God, is forever and ever; The scepter of Your kingdom is a scepter of justice.

⁷You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions.

⁸All Your garments are fragrant with myrrh, aloes, and cassia; From ivory palaces stringed instruments have made You joyful.

⁹Kings’ daughters are among Your noble women; At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.

¹⁰Listen, daughter, look and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house;

¹¹Then the King will crave your beauty. Because He is your Lord, bow down to Him.

¹²The daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The wealthy among the people will seek your favor.

¹³The King’s daughter is all glorious within; Her clothing is interwoven with gold.

¹⁴She will be brought to the King in colorful garments; The virgins, her companions who follow her, Will be brought to You.

¹⁵They will be brought with joy and rejoicing; They will enter into the King’s palace.

¹⁶In place of your fathers will be your sons; You shall make them princes in all the earth.

¹⁷I will make Your name known among all generations; Therefore the peoples will praise You forever and ever.

¹God is our refuge and strength, A very ready help in trouble.

²Therefore we will not fear, though the earth shakes And the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;

³Though its waters roar and foam, Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah

⁴There is a river whose streams make the city of God happy, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

⁵God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.

⁶The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He raised His voice, the earth quaked.

⁷The LORD of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

⁸Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has inflicted horrific events on the earth.

⁹He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire.

¹⁰“Stop striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted on the earth.”

¹¹The LORD of armies is with us; The God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah

¹Clap your hands, all you peoples; Shout to God with a voice of joy.

²For the LORD Most High is to be feared, A great King over all the earth.

³He subdues peoples under us And nations under our feet.

⁴He chooses our inheritance for us, The pride of Jacob whom He loves. Selah

⁵God has ascended with a shout, The LORD, with the sound of a trumpet.

⁶Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises.

⁷For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with a psalm of wisdom.

⁸God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne.

⁹The princes of the people have assembled as the people of the God of Abraham, For the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

¹Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, His holy mountain.

²Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, Is Mount Zion in the far north, The city of the great King.

³In its palaces, God has made Himself known as a stronghold.

⁴For, behold, the kings arrived, They passed by together.

⁵They saw it, then they were amazed; They were terrified, they fled in a hurry.

⁶Panic seized them there, Anguish, as that of a woman in childbirth.

⁷With the east wind You smash the ships of Tarshish.

⁸Just as we have heard, so have we seen In the city of the LORD of armies, in the city of our God; God will establish her forever. Selah

⁹We have thought over Your goodness, God, In the midst of Your temple.

¹⁰As is Your name, God, So is Your praise to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

¹¹Mount Zion shall be glad, The daughters of Judah shall rejoice Because of Your judgments.

¹²Walk around Zion and encircle her; Count her towers;

¹³Consider her ramparts; Go through her palaces, So that you may tell of her to the next generation.

¹⁴For such is God, Our God forever and ever; He will lead us until death.
