Psalms 92-94

Psa 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High;

Psa 92:2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

Psa 92:3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

Psa 92:4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

Psa 92:5 How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

Psa 92:6 A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:

Psa 92:7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

Psa 92:8 But you, Yahweh, are on high forevermore.

Psa 92:9 For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

Psa 92:10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

Psa 92:11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

Psa 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Psa 92:13 They are planted in Yahweh's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

Psa 92:14 They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

Psa 92:15 to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psa 93:1 Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can't be moved.

Psa 93:2 Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.

Psa 93:3 The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

Psa 93:4 Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty.

Psa 93:5 Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, Yahweh, forevermore.

Psa 94:1 Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.

Psa 94:2 Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.

Psa 94:3 Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?

Psa 94:4 They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

Psa 94:5 They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.

Psa 94:6 They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.

Psa 94:7 They say, "Yah will not see, neither will Jacob's God consider."

Psa 94:8 Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

Psa 94:9 He who implanted the ear, won't he hear? He who formed the eye, won't he see?

Psa 94:10 He who disciplines the nations, won't he punish? He who teaches man knows.

Psa 94:11 Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

Psa 94:12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law;

Psa 94:13 that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

Psa 94:14 For Yahweh won't reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

Psa 94:15 For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.

Psa 94:16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

Psa 94:17 Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.

Psa 94:18 When I said, "My foot is slipping!" Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.

Psa 94:19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.

Psa 94:20 Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

Psa 94:21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

Psa 94:22 But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.

Psa 94:23 He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.

2 Corinthians 2

2Co 2:1 But I determined this for myself, that I would not come to you again in sorrow.

2Co 2:2 For if I make you sorry, then who will make me glad but he who is made sorry by me?

2Co 2:3 And I wrote this very thing to you, so that, when I came, I wouldn't have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy would be shared by all of you.

2Co 2:4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you.

2Co 2:5 But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

2Co 2:6 Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;

2Co 2:7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

2Co 2:8 Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

2Co 2:9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

2Co 2:10 Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

2Co 2:11 that no advantage may be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

2Co 2:12 Now when I came to Troas for the Good News of Christ, and when a door was opened to me in the Lord,

2Co 2:13 I had no relief for my spirit, because I didn't find Titus, my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went out into Macedonia.

2Co 2:14 Now thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and reveals through us the sweet aroma of his knowledge in every place.

2Co 2:15 For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God, in those who are saved, and in those who perish;

2Co 2:16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

2Co 2:17 For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
