Psalm Chapter 81

Oh, That My People Would Listen to Me
Psa 81:1  To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Psa 81:2  Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Psa 81:3  Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Psa 81:4  For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Psa 81:5  This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Psa 81:6  I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
Psa 81:7  Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
Psa 81:8  Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
Psa 81:9  There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Psa 81:10  I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Psa 81:11  But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Psa 81:12  So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
Psa 81:13  Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
Psa 81:14  I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Psa 81:15  The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
Psa 81:16  He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

Psalm Chapter 88

I Cry Out Day and Night Before You
Psa 88:1  A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:
Psa 88:2  Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;
Psa 88:3  For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave.
Psa 88:4  I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength:
Psa 88:5  Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
Psa 88:6  Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
Psa 88:7  Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah.
Psa 88:8  Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.
Psa 88:9  Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.
Psa 88:10  Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah.
Psa 88:11  Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction?
Psa 88:12  Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Psa 88:13  But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee.
Psa 88:14  LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?
Psa 88:15  I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
Psa 88:16  Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
Psa 88:17  They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together.
Psa 88:18  Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.

Psalms Chapters 92-93

How Great Are Your Works
Psa 92:1  A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
Psa 92:2  To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
Psa 92:3  Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
Psa 92:4  For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
Psa 92:5  O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
Psa 92:6  A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
Psa 92:7  When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
Psa 92:8  But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
Psa 92:9  For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Psa 92:10  But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Psa 92:11  Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
Psa 92:12  The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Psa 92:13  Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Psa 92:14  They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
Psa 92:15  To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

The Lord Reigns
Psa 93:1  The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Psa 93:2  Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
Psa 93:3  The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
Psa 93:4  The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
Psa 93:5  Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
