Bible in 90 Days Plan

¹When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language,

²Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

³The sea looked and fled; Jordan turned back.

⁴The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

⁵What ails you, O sea, that you flee? O Jordan, that you turn back?

⁶O mountains, that you skip like rams? O hills, like lambs?

⁷Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

⁸who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

¹Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

²Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?”

³Our God is in the heavens; he does all that he pleases.

⁴Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

⁵They have mouths, but do not speak; eyes, but do not see.

⁶They have ears, but do not hear; noses, but do not smell.

⁷They have hands, but do not feel; feet, but do not walk; and they do not make a sound in their throat.

⁸Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them.

⁹O Israel, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

¹⁰O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

¹¹You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD! He is their help and their shield.

¹²The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron;

¹³he will bless those who fear the LORD, both the small and the great.

¹⁴May the LORD give you increase, you and your children!

¹⁵May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth!

¹⁶The heavens are the LORD's heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.

¹⁷The dead do not praise the LORD, nor do any who go down into silence.

¹⁸But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!

¹I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

²Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

³The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

⁴Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”

⁵Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is merciful.

⁶The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.

⁷Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.

⁸For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling;

⁹I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁰I believed, even when I spoke: “I am greatly afflicted”;

¹¹I said in my alarm, “All mankind are liars.”

¹²What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?

¹³I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,

¹⁴I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

¹⁶O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

¹⁷I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

¹⁸I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,

¹⁹in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

¹Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples!

²For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!

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

²Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.”

³Let the house of Aaron say, “His steadfast love endures forever.”

⁴Let those who fear the LORD say, “His steadfast love endures forever.”

⁵Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free.

⁶The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

⁷The LORD is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

⁸It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man.

⁹It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.

¹⁰All nations surrounded me; in the name of the LORD I cut them off!

¹¹They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the LORD I cut them off!

¹²They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the LORD I cut them off!

¹³I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the LORD helped me.

¹⁴The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation.

¹⁵Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD does valiantly,

¹⁶the right hand of the LORD exalts, the right hand of the LORD does valiantly!”

¹⁷I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the LORD.

¹⁸The LORD has disciplined me severely, but he has not given me over to death.

¹⁹Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD.

²⁰This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it.

²¹I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation.

²²The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

²³This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

²⁴This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

²⁵Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success!

²⁶Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD.

²⁷The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar!

²⁸You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you.

²⁹Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

¹Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the LORD!

²Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart,

³who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!

⁴You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.

⁵Oh that my ways may be steadfast in keeping your statutes!

⁶Then I shall not be put to shame, having my eyes fixed on all your commandments.

⁷I will praise you with an upright heart, when I learn your righteous rules.

⁸I will keep your statutes; do not utterly forsake me!

⁹How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your word.

¹⁰With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!

¹¹I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.

¹²Blessed are you, O LORD; teach me your statutes!

¹³With my lips I declare all the rules of your mouth.

¹⁴In the way of your testimonies I delight as much as in all riches.

¹⁵I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.

¹⁶I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word.

¹⁷Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.

¹⁸Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.

¹⁹I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me!

²⁰My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.

²¹You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments.

²²Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies.

²³Even though princes sit plotting against me, your servant will meditate on your statutes.

²⁴Your testimonies are my delight; they are my counselors.

²⁵My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word!

²⁶When I told of my ways, you answered me; teach me your statutes!

²⁷Make me understand the way of your precepts, and I will meditate on your wondrous works.

²⁸My soul melts away for sorrow; strengthen me according to your word!

²⁹Put false ways far from me and graciously teach me your law!

³⁰I have chosen the way of faithfulness; I set your rules before me.

³¹I cling to your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame!

³²I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart!

³³Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes; and I will keep it to the end.

³⁴Give me understanding, that I may keep your law and observe it with my whole heart.

³⁵Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it.

³⁷Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.

³⁸Confirm to your servant your promise, that you may be feared.

³⁹Turn away the reproach that I dread, for your rules are good.

⁴⁰Behold, I long for your precepts; in your righteousness give me life!

⁴¹Let your steadfast love come to me, O LORD, your salvation according to your promise;

⁴²then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word.

⁴³And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, for my hope is in your rules.

⁴⁴I will keep your law continually, forever and ever,

⁴⁵and I shall walk in a wide place, for I have sought your precepts.

⁴⁶I will also speak of your testimonies before kings and shall not be put to shame,

⁴⁷for I find my delight in your commandments, which I love.

⁴⁸I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statutes.

⁴⁹Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope.

⁵⁰This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life.

⁵¹The insolent utterly deride me, but I do not turn away from your law.

⁵²When I think of your rules from of old, I take comfort, O LORD.

⁵³Hot indignation seizes me because of the wicked, who forsake your law.

⁵⁴Your statutes have been my songs in the house of my sojourning.

⁵⁵I remember your name in the night, O LORD, and keep your law.

⁵⁶This blessing has fallen to me, that I have kept your precepts.

⁵⁷The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep your words.

⁵⁸I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.

⁵⁹When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies;

⁶⁰I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments.

⁶¹Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.

⁶²At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your righteous rules.

⁷²The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

⁸³For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes.

⁸⁴How long must your servant endure? When will you judge those who persecute me?

⁸⁵The insolent have dug pitfalls for me; they do not live according to your law.

¹In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.

²Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

³What shall be given to you, and what more shall be done to you, you deceitful tongue?

⁴A warrior's sharp arrows, with glowing coals of the broom tree!

⁵Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!

⁶Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace.

⁷I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war!

¹I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

²My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

³He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.

⁴Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand.

⁶The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

⁷The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.

⁸The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.

¹I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!”

²Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

³Jerusalem — built as a city that is bound firmly together,

⁴to which the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as was decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

⁵There thrones for judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.

⁶Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! “May they be secure who love you!

⁷Peace be within your walls and security within your towers!”

⁸For my brothers and companions' sake I will say, “Peace be within you!”

⁹For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your good.

¹To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!

²Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their master, as the eyes of a maidservant to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the LORD our God, till he has mercy upon us.

³Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we have had more than enough of contempt.

⁴Our soul has had more than enough of the scorn of those who are at ease, of the contempt of the proud.

¹If it had not been the LORD who was on our side — let Israel now say —

²if it had not been the LORD who was on our side when people rose up against us,

³then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

⁴then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;

⁵then over us would have gone the raging waters.

⁶Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!

⁷We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!

⁸Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

¹Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever.

²As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore.

³For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous, lest the righteous stretch out their hands to do wrong.

⁴Do good, O LORD, to those who are good, and to those who are upright in their hearts!

⁵But those who turn aside to their crooked ways the LORD will lead away with evildoers! Peace be upon Israel!

¹When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.

²Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

³The LORD has done great things for us; we are glad.

⁴Restore our fortunes, O LORD, like streams in the Negeb!

⁵Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!

⁶He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him.
