Bible in 90 Days Plan

¹My soul waits in silence for God alone; From Him comes my salvation.

²He alone is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I will not be greatly shaken.

³How long will you attack a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence?

⁴They have planned only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah

⁵My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my hope is from Him.

⁶He alone is my rock and my salvation, My refuge; I will not be shaken.

⁷My salvation and my glory rest on God; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.

⁸Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

⁹People of low standing are only breath, and people of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up. Together they are lighter than breath.

¹⁰Do not trust in oppression, And do not vainly rely on robbery; If wealth increases, do not set your heart on it.

¹¹God has spoken once; Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God;

¹²And faithfulness is Yours, Lord, For You reward a person according to his work.

¹God, You are my God; I shall be watching for You; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and exhausted land where there is no water.

²So have I seen You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and glory.

³Because Your favor is better than life, My lips will praise You.

⁴So I will bless You as long as I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

⁵My soul is satisfied as with fat and fatness, And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips.

⁶When I remember You on my bed, I meditate on You in the night watches,

⁷For You have been my help, And in the shadow of Your wings I sing for joy.

⁸My soul clings to You; Your right hand takes hold of me.

⁹But those who seek my life to destroy it, Will go into the depths of the earth.

¹⁰They will be turned over to the power of the sword; They will be a prey for foxes.

¹¹But the king will rejoice in God; Everyone who swears by Him will boast, For the mouths of those who speak lies will be stopped.

¹Hear my voice, God, in my complaint; Protect my life from dread of the enemy.

²Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers, From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,

³Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,

⁴To shoot from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.

⁵They make firm for themselves an evil purpose; They talk of setting snares secretly; They say, “Who can see them?”

⁶They devise injustices, saying, “We are ready with a well-conceived plot”; For the inward thought and the heart of a person are deep.

⁷But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly they will be wounded.

⁸So they will make him stumble; Their own tongue is against them; All who see them will shake their heads.

⁹Then all people will fear, And they will declare the work of God, And will consider what He has done.

¹⁰The righteous person will be glad in the LORD and take refuge in Him; And all the upright in heart will boast.

¹There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, God, And the vow will be fulfilled for You.

²You who hear prayer, To You all mankind comes.

³Wrongdoings prevail against me; As for our offenses, You forgive them.

⁴Blessed is the one You choose and allow to approach You; He will dwell in Your courtyards. We will be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Your holy temple.

⁵By awesome deeds You answer us in righteousness, God of our salvation, You who are the trust of all the ends of the earth and the farthest sea;

⁶Who establishes the mountains by His strength, Who is encircled with might;

⁷Who stills the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the turmoil of the nations.

⁸They who dwell at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the sunrise and the sunset shout for joy.

⁹You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for so You prepare the earth.

¹⁰You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges, You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.

¹¹You have crowned the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with fatness.

¹²The pastures of the wilderness drip, And the hills encircle themselves with rejoicing.

¹³The meadows are clothed with flocks And the valleys are covered with grain; They shout for joy, yes, they sing.

¹Shout joyfully to God, all the earth;

²Sing the glory of His name; Make His praise glorious.

³Say to God, “How awesome are Your works! Because of the greatness of Your power Your enemies will pretend to obey You.

⁴All the earth will worship You, And will sing praises to You; They will sing praises to Your name.” Selah

⁵Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of mankind.

⁶He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; Let’s rejoice there, in Him!

⁷He rules by His might forever; His eyes keep watch on the nations; The rebellious shall not exalt themselves! Selah

⁸Bless our God, you peoples, And sound His praise abroad,

⁹Who keeps us in life, And does not allow our feet to slip.

¹⁰For You have put us to the test, God; You have refined us as silver is refined.

¹¹You brought us into the net; You laid an oppressive burden upon us.

¹²You made men ride over our heads; We went through fire and through water. Yet You brought us out into a place of abundance.

¹³I shall come into Your house with burnt offerings; I shall pay You my vows,

¹⁴Which my lips uttered And my mouth spoke when I was in distress.

¹⁵I shall offer to You burnt offerings of fat animals, With the smoke of rams; I shall make an offering of bulls with male goats. Selah

¹⁶Come and hear, all who fear God, And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.

¹⁷I cried to Him with my mouth, And He was exalted with my tongue.

¹⁸If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;

¹⁹But God has heard; He has given attention to the sound of my prayer.

²⁰Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer Nor His favor from me.

¹God be gracious to us and bless us, And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah

²That Your way may be known on the earth, Your salvation among all nations.

³May the peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

⁴May the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with fairness And guide the nations on the earth. Selah

⁵May the peoples praise You, God; May all the peoples praise You.

⁶The earth has yielded its produce; God, our God, blesses us.

⁷God blesses us, So that all the ends of the earth may fear Him.

¹May God arise, may His enemies be scattered, And may those who hate Him flee from His presence.

²As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; As wax melts before a fire, So the wicked will perish before God.

³But the righteous will be joyful; they will rejoice before God; Yes, they will rejoice with gladness.

⁴Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Exalt Him who rides through the deserts, Whose name is the LORD, and be jubilant before Him.

⁵A father of the fatherless and a judge for the widows, Is God in His holy dwelling.

⁶God makes a home for the lonely; He leads out the prisoners into prosperity, Only the rebellious live in parched lands.

⁷God, when You went forth before Your people, When You marched through the desert, Selah

⁸The earth quaked; The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God; Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

⁹You made plentiful rain fall, God; You confirmed Your inheritance when it was parched.

¹⁰Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You provided for the poor, God.

¹¹The Lord gives the command; The women who proclaim good news are a great army:

¹²“Kings of armies flee, they flee, And she who remains at home will divide the spoils!”

¹³When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And its pinions with glistening gold.

¹⁴When the Almighty scattered the kings there, It was snowing in Zalmon.

¹⁵The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of God; The mountain of Bashan is a mountain of many peaks.

¹⁶Why do you look with envy, you mountains of many peaks, At the mountain God has desired as His dwelling? Indeed, the LORD will dwell there forever.

¹⁷The chariots of God are myriads, thousands upon thousands; The Lord is among them as at Sinai, in holiness.

¹⁸You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives; You have received gifts among people, Even among the rebellious as well, that the LORD God may dwell there.

¹⁹Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears our burden, The God who is our salvation. Selah

²⁰God is to us a God of salvation; And to GOD the Lord belong ways of escape from death.

²¹God certainly will shatter the heads of His enemies, The hairy head of one who goes about in his guilt.

²²The Lord said, “I will bring them back from Bashan. I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

²³So that your foot may shatter them in blood, And the tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”

²⁴They have seen Your procession, God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.

²⁵The singers went on, the musicians after them, In the midst of the young women beating tambourines.

²⁶Bless God in the congregations, Even the LORD, you who are of the fountain of Israel.

²⁷Benjamin, the youngest, is there, ruling them, The leaders of Judah in their company, The leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.

²⁸Your God has commanded your strength; Show Yourself strong, God, You who acted in our behalf.

²⁹Because of Your temple at Jerusalem Kings will bring gifts to You.

³⁰Rebuke the animals in the reeds, The herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, Trampling the pieces of silver; He has scattered the peoples who delight in war.

³¹Messengers will come from Egypt; Cush will quickly stretch out her hands to God.

³²Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth, Sing praises to the Lord, Selah

³³To Him who rides upon the highest heavens, which are from ancient times; Behold, He speaks with His voice, a mighty voice.

³⁴Ascribe strength to God; His majesty is over Israel, And His strength is in the skies.

³⁵God, You are awesome from Your sanctuary. The God of Israel Himself gives strength and power to the people. Blessed be God!

¹Save me, God, For the waters have threatened my life.

²I have sunk in deep mud, and there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and a flood overflows me.

³I am weary with my crying; my throat is parched; My eyes fail while I wait for my God.

⁴Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, those who oppose me with lies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

⁵God, You know my foolishness, And my guilt is not hidden from You.

⁶May those who wait for You not be ashamed because of me, Lord GOD of armies; May those who seek You not be dishonored because of me, God of Israel,

⁷Because for Your sake I have endured disgrace; Dishonor has covered my face.

⁸I have become estranged from my brothers, And a stranger to my mother’s sons.

⁹For zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the taunts of those who taunt You have fallen on me.

¹⁰When I wept in my soul with fasting, It became my disgrace.

¹¹When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a proverb to them.

¹²Those who sit in the gate talk about me, And songs of mockery by those habitually drunk are about me.

¹³But as for me, my prayer is to You, LORD, at an acceptable time; God, in the greatness of Your mercy, Answer me with Your saving truth.

¹⁴Rescue me from the mud and do not let me sink; May I be rescued from those who hate me, and from the depths of water.

¹⁵May the flood of water not overflow me Nor the deep swallow me up, Nor the pit close its mouth on me.

¹⁶Answer me, LORD, for Your mercy is good; According to the greatness of Your compassion, turn to me,

¹⁷And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress; answer me quickly.

¹⁸Come near to my soul and redeem it; Ransom me because of my enemies!

¹⁹You know my disgrace, my shame, and my dishonor; All my enemies are known to You.

²⁰Disgrace has broken my heart, and I am so sick. And I waited for sympathy, but there was none; And for comforters, but I found none.

²¹They also gave me a bitter herb in my food, And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

²²May their table before them become a snare; And when they are at peace, may it become a trap.

²³May their eyes grow dim so that they cannot see, And make their hips shake continually.

²⁴Pour out Your indignation on them, And may Your burning anger overtake them.

²⁵May their camp be desolated; May there be none living in their tents.

²⁶For they have persecuted him whom You Yourself struck, And they tell of the pain of those whom You have wounded.

²⁷Add guilt to their guilt, And may they not come into Your righteousness.

²⁸May they be wiped out of the book of life, And may they not be recorded with the righteous.

²⁹But I am afflicted and in pain; May Your salvation, God, set me safely on high.

³⁰I will praise the name of God with song, And exalt Him with thanksgiving.

³¹And it will please the LORD better than an ox Or bull with horns and hoofs.

³²The humble have seen it and are glad; You who seek God, let your heart revive.

³³For the LORD hears the needy, And does not despise those of His who are prisoners.

³⁴Heaven and earth shall praise Him, The seas and everything that moves in them.

³⁵For God will save Zion and build the cities of Judah, So that they may live there and possess it.

³⁶The descendants of His servants will inherit it, And those who love His name will live in it.

¹God, hurry to save me; LORD, hurry to help me!

²May those who seek my life Be put to shame and humiliated; May those who delight in my harm Be turned back and dishonored.

³May those who say, “Aha, aha!” be turned back Because of their shame.

⁴May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And may those who love Your salvation say continually, “May God be exalted!”

⁵But I am afflicted and needy; Hurry to me, God! You are my help and my savior; LORD, do not delay.

¹In You, LORD, I have taken refuge; Let me never be put to shame.

²In Your righteousness rescue me and save me; Extend Your ear to me and help me.

³Be to me a rock of dwelling to which I may continually come; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.

⁴Save me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, From the grasp of the wrongdoer and the ruthless,

⁵For You are my hope; Lord GOD, You are my confidence from my youth.

⁶I have leaned on you since my birth; You are He who took me from my mother’s womb; My praise is continually of You.

⁷I have become a marvel to many, For You are my strong refuge.

⁸My mouth is filled with Your praise And with Your glory all day long.

⁹Do not cast me away at the time of my old age; Do not abandon me when my strength fails.

¹⁰For my enemies have spoken against me; And those who watch for my life have consulted together,

¹¹Saying, “God has abandoned him; Pursue and seize him, for there is no one to save him.”

¹²God, do not be far from me; My God, hurry to my aid!

¹³May those who are enemies of my soul be put to shame and consumed; May they be covered with disgrace and dishonor, who seek to injure me.

¹⁴But as for me, I will wait continually, And will praise You yet more and more.

¹⁵My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness And of Your salvation all day long; For I do not know the art of writing.

¹⁶I will come with the mighty deeds of the Lord GOD; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

¹⁷God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous deeds.

¹⁸And even when I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

¹⁹For Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, You who have done great things; God, who is like You?

²⁰You who have shown me many troubles and distresses Will revive me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

²¹May You increase my greatness And turn to comfort me.

²²I will also praise You with a harp, And Your truth, my God; I will sing praises to You with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.

²³My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You; And my soul, which You have redeemed.

²⁴My tongue also will tell of Your righteousness all day long; For they are put to shame, for they are humiliated who seek my harm.

¹Give the king Your judgments, God, And Your righteousness to the king’s son.

²May he judge Your people with righteousness And Your afflicted with justice.

³May the mountains bring peace to the people, And the hills, in righteousness.

⁴May he vindicate the afflicted of the people, Save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor.

⁵May they fear You while the sun shines, And as long as the moon shines, throughout all generations.

⁶May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth.

⁷May the righteous flourish in his days, As well as an abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

⁸May he also rule from sea to sea, And from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.

⁹May the nomads of the desert bow before him, And his enemies lick the dust.

¹⁰May the kings of Tarshish and of the islands bring gifts; May the kings of Sheba and Seba offer tributes.

¹¹And may all kings bow down before him, All nations serve him.

¹²For he will save the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.

¹³He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the lives of the needy.

¹⁴He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;

¹⁵So may he live, and may the gold of Sheba be given to him; And they are to pray for him continually; They are to bless him all day long.

¹⁶May there be abundance of grain on the earth on top of the mountains; Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon; And may those from the city flourish like the vegetation of the earth.

¹⁷May his name endure forever; May his name produce descendants as long as the sun shines; And may people wish blessings on themselves by him; May all nations call him blessed.

¹⁸Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, Who alone works wonders.

¹⁹And blessed be His glorious name forever; And may the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.

²⁰The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

¹God certainly is good to Israel, To those who are pure in heart!

²But as for me, my feet came close to stumbling, My steps had almost slipped.

³For I was envious of the arrogant As I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

⁴For there are no pains in their death, And their belly is fat.

⁵They are not in trouble like other people, Nor are they tormented together with the rest of mankind.

⁶Therefore arrogance is their necklace; The garment of violence covers them.

⁷Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart overflow.

⁸They mock and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high.

⁹They have set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue parades through the earth.

¹⁰Therefore his people return here, And abundant waters are drunk by them.

¹¹They say, “How does God know? And is there knowledge with the Most High?”

¹²Behold, these are the wicked; And always at ease, they have increased in wealth.

¹³Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure And washed my hands in innocence;

¹⁴For I have been stricken all day long, And punished every morning.

¹⁵If I had said, “I will speak this way,” Behold, I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

¹⁶When I thought of understanding this, It was troublesome in my sight

¹⁷Until I entered the sanctuary of God; Then I perceived their end.

¹⁸You indeed put them on slippery ground; You dropped them into ruin.

¹⁹How they are destroyed in a moment! They are utterly swept away by sudden terrors!

²⁰Like a dream when one awakes, Lord, when stirred, You will despise their image.

²¹When my heart was embittered And I was pierced within,

²²Then I was stupid and ignorant; I was like an animal before You.

²³Nevertheless I am continually with You; You have taken hold of my right hand.

²⁴You will guide me with Your plan, And afterward receive me to glory.

²⁵Whom do I have in heaven but You? And with You, I desire nothing on earth.

²⁶My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

²⁷For, behold, those who are far from You will perish; You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful to You.

²⁸But as for me, the nearness of God is good for me; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, So that I may tell of all Your works.

¹God, why have You rejected us forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture?

²Remember Your congregation, which You purchased of old, Which You have redeemed to be the tribe of Your inheritance; And this Mount Zion, where You have dwelt.

³Step toward the irreparable ruins; The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary.

⁴Your adversaries have roared in the midst of Your meeting place; They have set up their own signs as signs.

⁵It seems like one bringing up His axe into a forest of trees.

⁶And now they break down all its carved work With axe and hammers.

⁷They have burned Your sanctuary to the ground; They have defiled the dwelling place of Your name.

⁸They said in their heart, “Let’s completely subdue them.” They have burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

⁹We do not see our signs; There is no longer any prophet, Nor is there anyone among us who knows how long.

¹⁰How long, God, will the enemy taunt You? Shall the enemy treat Your name disrespectfully forever?

¹¹Why do You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? Extend it from Your chest and destroy them!

¹²Yet God is my King from long ago, Who performs acts of salvation in the midst of the earth.

¹³You divided the sea by Your strength; You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.

¹⁴You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

¹⁵You broke open springs and torrents; You dried up ever-flowing streams.

¹⁶Yours is the day, Yours also is the night; You have prepared the light and the sun.

¹⁷You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have created summer and winter.

¹⁸Remember this, LORD, that the enemy has taunted You, And a foolish people has treated Your name disrespectfully.

¹⁹Do not give the soul of Your turtledove to the wild animal; Do not forget the life of Your afflicted forever.

²⁰Consider the covenant; For the dark places of the land are full of the places of violence.

²¹May the oppressed person not return dishonored; May the afflicted and the needy praise Your name.

²²Arise, God, and plead Your own cause; Remember how the foolish person taunts You all day long.

²³Do not forget the voice of Your adversaries, The uproar of those who rise against You, which ascends continually.
