Psalm 91-93
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Psalm 91

Assurance of God’s Protection

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
    who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,[a](A)
2 will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress;
    my God, in whom I trust.”(B)
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the hunter
    and from the deadly pestilence;(C)
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
    and under his wings you will find refuge;
    his faithfulness is a shield and defense.(D)
5 You will not fear the terror of the night
    or the arrow that flies by day(E)
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness
    or the destruction that wastes at noonday.(F)

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
    and see the punishment of the wicked.(G)

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,[b]
    the Most High your dwelling place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
    no scourge come near your tent.(H)

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
    to guard you in all your ways.(I)
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
    so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder;
    the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.(J)

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
    I will protect those who know my name.(K)
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
    I will be with them in trouble;
    I will rescue them and honor them.(L)
16 With long life I will satisfy them
    and show them my salvation.(M)

Psalm 92

Thanksgiving for Vindication

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath Day.

1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
    to sing praises to your name, O Most High,(N)
2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning
    and your faithfulness by night,(O)
3 to the music of the lute and the harp,
    to the melody of the lyre.(P)
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
    at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

5 How great are your works, O Lord!
    Your thoughts are very deep!(Q)
6 The dullard cannot know;
    the stupid cannot understand this:
7 though the wicked sprout like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever,(R)
8     but you, O Lord, are on high forever.(S)
9 For your enemies, O Lord,
    for your enemies shall perish;
    all evildoers shall be scattered.(T)

10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
    you have anointed me with fresh oil.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
    my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.(U)

12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree
    and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.(V)
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord;
    they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 In old age they still produce fruit;
    they are always green and full of sap,(W)
15 showing that the Lord is upright;
    he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.(X)

Psalm 93

The Majesty of God’s Rule

1 The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty;
    the Lord is robed; he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;(Y)
2     your throne is established from of old;
    you are from everlasting.(Z)

3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
    the floods have lifted up their voice;
    the floods lift up their roaring.
4 More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters,
    more majestic than the waves[c] of the sea,
    majestic on high is the Lord!(AA)

5 Your decrees are very sure;
    holiness befits your house,
    O Lord, forevermore.(AB)

Romans 15:1-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Please Others, Not Yourselves

15 We who are strong ought to put up with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves.(A) 2 Each of us must please our neighbor for the good purpose of building up the neighbor.(B) 3 For Christ did not please himself, but, as it is written, “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, so that by steadfastness and by the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.(C) 5 May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus,(D) 6 so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Gospel for Jews and Gentiles Alike

7 Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of the truth of God in order that he might confirm the promises given to the ancestors(E) 9 and that the gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

“Therefore I will confess you among the gentiles
    and sing praises to your name”;(F)

10 and again he says,

“Rejoice, O gentiles, with his people”;

11 and again,

“Praise the Lord, all you gentiles,
    and let all the peoples praise him”;

12 and again Isaiah says,

“The root of Jesse shall come,
    the one who rises to rule the gentiles;
in him the gentiles shall hope.”(G)

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(H)

Romans 15:1-13
New International Version

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak(A) and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good,(B) to build them up.(C) 3 For even Christ did not please himself(D) but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”[a](E) 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us,(F) so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.

5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind(G) toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify(H) the God and Father(I) of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Accept one another,(J) then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. 8 For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews[b](K) on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises(L) made to the patriarchs might be confirmed 9 and, moreover, that the Gentiles(M) might glorify God(N) for his mercy. As it is written:

“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
    I will sing the praises of your name.”[c](O)

10 Again, it says,

“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”[d](P)

11 And again,

“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
    let all the peoples extol him.”[e](Q)

12 And again, Isaiah says,

“The Root of Jesse(R) will spring up,
    one who will arise to rule over the nations;
    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f](S)

13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace(T) as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.(U)
