Psalms 81, 88, 92 & 93

Psalm 81:1-16 (NASB)
¹ Sing for joy to God our strength; Shout joyfully to the God of Jacob.
² Raise a song, strike the timbrel, The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.
³ Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast day.
⁴ For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.
⁵ He established it for a testimony in Joseph When he went throughout the land of Egypt. I heard a language that I did not know:
⁶ "I relieved his shoulder of the burden, His hands were freed from the basket.
⁷ "You called in trouble and I rescued you; I answered you in the hiding place of thunder; I proved you at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
⁸ "Hear, O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel, if you would listen to Me!
⁹ "Let there be no strange god among you; Nor shall you worship any foreign god.
¹⁰ "I, the Lord, am your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
¹¹ "But My people did not listen to My voice, And Israel did not obey Me.
¹² "So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their heart, To walk in their own devices.
¹³ "Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
¹⁴ "I would quickly subdue their enemies And turn My hand against their adversaries.
¹⁵ "Those who hate the Lord would pretend obedience to Him, And their time of punishment would be forever.
¹⁶ "But I would feed you with the finest of the wheat, And with honey from the rock I would satisfy you."

Psalm 88:1-18 (NASB)
¹ O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You.
² Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry!
³ For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol.
⁴ I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength,
⁵ Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are cut off from Your hand.
⁶ You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths.
⁷ Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.
⁸ You have removed my acquaintances far from me; You have made me an object of loathing to them; I am shut up and cannot go out.
⁹ My eye has wasted away because of affliction; I have called upon You every day, O Lord; I have spread out my hands to You.
¹⁰ Will You perform wonders for the dead? Will the departed spirits rise and praise You? Selah.
¹¹ Will Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
¹² Will Your wonders be made known in the darkness? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
¹³ But I, O Lord, have cried out to You for help, And in the morning my prayer comes before You.
¹⁴ O Lord, why do You reject my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me?
¹⁵ I was afflicted and about to die from my youth on; I suffer Your terrors; I am overcome.
¹⁶ Your burning anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
¹⁷ They have surrounded me like water all day long; They have encompassed me altogether.
¹⁸ You have removed lover and friend far from me; My acquaintances are in darkness.

Psalm 92:1-15 (NASB)
¹ It is good to give thanks to the Lord And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
² To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning And Your faithfulness by night,
³ With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp, With resounding music upon the lyre.
⁴ For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done, I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
⁵ How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.
⁶ A senseless man has no knowledge, Nor does a stupid man understand this:
⁷ That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.
⁸ But You, O Lord, are on high forever.
⁹ For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be scattered.
¹⁰ But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.
¹¹ And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
¹² The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and very green,
¹⁵ To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

Psalm 93:1-5 (NASB)
¹ The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
² Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.
³ The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice, The floods lift up their pounding waves.
⁴ More than the sounds of many waters, Than the mighty breakers of the sea, The Lord on high is mighty.
⁵ Your testimonies are fully confirmed; Holiness befits Your house, O Lord, forevermore.
