Bible in 90 Days Plan

¹I will sing of steadfast love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will make music.

²I will ponder the way that is blameless. Oh when will you come to me? I will walk with integrity of heart within my house;

³I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless. I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.

⁴A perverse heart shall be far from me; I will know nothing of evil.

⁵Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure.

⁶I will look with favor on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the way that is blameless shall minister to me.

⁷No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes.

⁸Morning by morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, cutting off all the evildoers from the city of the LORD.

¹Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you!

²Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress! Incline your ear to me; answer me speedily in the day when I call!

³For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.

⁴My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread.

⁵Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my flesh.

⁶I am like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places;

⁷I lie awake; I am like a lonely sparrow on the housetop.

⁸All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse.

⁹For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink,

¹⁰because of your indignation and anger; for you have taken me up and thrown me down.

¹¹My days are like an evening shadow; I wither away like grass.

¹²But you, O LORD, are enthroned forever; you are remembered throughout all generations.

¹³You will arise and have pity on Zion; it is the time to favor her; the appointed time has come.

¹⁴For your servants hold her stones dear and have pity on her dust.

¹⁵Nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.

¹⁶For the LORD builds up Zion; he appears in his glory;

¹⁷he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer.

¹⁸Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:

¹⁹that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the LORD looked at the earth,

²⁰to hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die,

²¹that they may declare in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise,

²²when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the LORD.

²³He has broken my strength in midcourse; he has shortened my days.

²⁴“O my God,” I say, “take me not away in the midst of my days — you whose years endure throughout all generations!”

²⁵Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

²⁶They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,

²⁷but you are the same, and your years have no end.

²⁸The children of your servants shall dwell secure; their offspring shall be established before you.

¹Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

²Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,

³who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,

⁴who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

⁵who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

⁶The LORD works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.

⁷He made known his ways to Moses, his acts to the people of Israel.

⁸The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

⁹He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger forever.

¹⁰He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.

¹¹For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

¹²as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

¹³As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.

¹⁴For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;

¹⁶for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.

¹⁷But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children,

¹⁸to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments.

¹⁹The LORD has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word!

²¹Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will!

²²Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!

¹Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

²covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.

³He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind;

⁴he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire.

⁵He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved.

⁶You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

⁷At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.

⁸The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place that you appointed for them.

⁹You set a boundary that they may not pass, so that they might not again cover the earth.

¹⁰You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills;

¹¹they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

¹²Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.

¹³From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.

¹⁴You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth

¹⁵and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man's heart.

¹⁶The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.

¹⁷In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees.

¹⁸The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.

¹⁹He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.

²⁰You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about.

²¹The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.

²²When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens.

²³Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.

²⁴O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

²⁵Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and great.

²⁶There go the ships, and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it.

²⁷These all look to you, to give them their food in due season.

²⁸When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

²⁹When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

³⁰When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.

³¹May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works,

³²who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke!

³³I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

³⁴May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD.

³⁵Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more! Bless the LORD, O my soul! Praise the LORD!

¹Oh give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!

²Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!

³Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!

⁴Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his presence continually!

⁵Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,

⁶O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

⁷He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

⁸He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

⁹the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,

¹⁰which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

¹¹saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.”

¹²When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,

¹³wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,

¹⁴he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,

¹⁵saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!”

¹⁶When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread,

¹⁷he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

¹⁸His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;

¹⁹until what he had said came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.

²⁰The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free;

²¹he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,

²²to bind his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.

²³Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴And the LORD made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.

²⁵He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.

²⁶He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

²⁷They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham.

²⁸He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel against his words.

²⁹He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die.

³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.

³¹He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.

³²He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land.

³³He struck down their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

³⁴He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number,

³⁵which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.

³⁷Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.

³⁹He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.

⁴⁰They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.

⁴¹He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.

⁴²For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.

⁴³So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.

⁴⁴And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,

⁴⁵that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!

¹Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

²Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare all his praise?

³Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!

⁴Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,

⁵that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

⁶Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.

⁷Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

⁸Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his mighty power.

⁹He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert.

¹⁰So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.

¹¹And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.

¹²Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.

¹³But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.

¹⁴But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;

¹⁵he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.

¹⁶When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,

¹⁷the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁸Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image.

²⁰They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.

²¹They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

²²wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

²³Therefore he said he would destroy them — had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

²⁴Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.

²⁵They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.

²⁶Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

²⁷and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands.

²⁸Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;

²⁹they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

³⁰Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed.

³¹And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever.

³²They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account,

³³for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke rashly with his lips.

³⁴They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,

³⁵but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did.

³⁶They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

³⁷They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;

³⁸they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.

³⁹Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds.

⁴⁰Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;

⁴¹he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴²Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.

⁴³Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry.

⁴⁵For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

⁴⁶He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.

⁴⁷Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.

⁴⁸Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD!

¹Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!

²Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble

³and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

⁴Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in;

⁵hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them.

⁶Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

⁷He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in.

⁸Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!

⁹For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

¹⁰Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and in irons,

¹¹for they had rebelled against the words of God, and spurned the counsel of the Most High.

¹²So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor; they fell down, with none to help.

¹³Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart.

¹⁵Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!

¹⁶For he shatters the doors of bronze and cuts in two the bars of iron.

¹⁷Some were fools through their sinful ways, and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

¹⁸they loathed any kind of food, and they drew near to the gates of death.

¹⁹Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

²⁰He sent out his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.

²¹Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!

²²And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving, and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!

²³Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters;

²⁴they saw the deeds of the LORD, his wondrous works in the deep.

²⁵For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.

²⁶They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;

²⁷they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end.

²⁸Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.

²⁹He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.

³⁰Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.

³¹Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man!

³²Let them extol him in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

³³He turns rivers into a desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,

³⁴a fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the evil of its inhabitants.

³⁵He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.

³⁶And there he lets the hungry dwell, and they establish a city to live in;

³⁷they sow fields and plant vineyards and get a fruitful yield.

³⁸By his blessing they multiply greatly, and he does not let their livestock diminish.

³⁹When they are diminished and brought low through oppression, evil, and sorrow,

⁴⁰he pours contempt on princes and makes them wander in trackless wastes;

⁴¹but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.

⁴²The upright see it and are glad, and all wickedness shuts its mouth.

⁴³Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the LORD.

¹My heart is steadfast, O God! I will sing and make melody with all my being!

²Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn!

³I will give thanks to you, O LORD, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.

⁴For your steadfast love is great above the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

⁵Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!

⁶That your beloved ones may be delivered, give salvation by your right hand and answer me!

⁷God has promised in his holiness: “With exultation I will divide up Shechem and portion out the Valley of Succoth.

⁸Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my scepter.

⁹Moab is my washbasin; upon Edom I cast my shoe; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

¹⁰Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

¹¹Have you not rejected us, O God? You do not go out, O God, with our armies.

¹²Oh grant us help against the foe, for vain is the salvation of man!

¹³With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.

¹Be not silent, O God of my praise!

²For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues.

³They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause.

⁴In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer.

⁵So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

⁶Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand at his right hand.

⁷When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin!

⁸May his days be few; may another take his office!

⁹May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow!

¹⁰May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!

¹¹May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil!

¹²Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children!

¹³May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation!

¹⁴May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out!

¹⁵Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth!

¹⁶For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

¹⁷He loved to curse; let curses come upon him! He did not delight in blessing; may it be far from him!

¹⁸He clothed himself with cursing as his coat; may it soak into his body like water, like oil into his bones!

¹⁹May it be like a garment that he wraps around him, like a belt that he puts on every day!

²⁰May this be the reward of my accusers from the LORD, of those who speak evil against my life!

²¹But you, O GOD my Lord, deal on my behalf for your name's sake; because your steadfast love is good, deliver me!

²²For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me.

²³I am gone like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust.

²⁴My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt, with no fat.

²⁵I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads.

²⁶Help me, O LORD my God! Save me according to your steadfast love!

²⁷Let them know that this is your hand; you, O LORD, have done it!

²⁸Let them curse, but you will bless! They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad!

²⁹May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak!

³⁰With my mouth I will give great thanks to the LORD; I will praise him in the midst of the throng.

³¹For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death.

¹The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”

²The LORD sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies!

³Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours.

⁴The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

⁶He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.

⁷He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head.

¹Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.

²Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them.

³Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever.

⁴He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and merciful.

⁵He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.

⁶He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations.

⁷The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy;

⁸they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.

⁹He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!

¹⁰The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

¹Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!

²His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

³Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.

⁴Light dawns in the darkness for the upright; he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.

⁵It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice.

⁶For the righteous will never be moved; he will be remembered forever.

⁷He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

⁸His heart is steady; he will not be afraid, until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

⁹He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his horn is exalted in honor.

¹⁰The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!

¹Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD!

²Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and forevermore!

³From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!

⁴The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens!

⁵Who is like the LORD our God, who is seated on high,

⁶who looks far down on the heavens and the earth?

⁷He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

⁸to make them sit with princes, with the princes of his people.

⁹He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
