Psalms 91

1 The person who rests in the shadow of the Most High God will be kept safe by the Mighty One.
2 I will say about the Lord, "He is my place of safety. He is like a fort to me. He is my God. I trust in him."
3 He will certainly save you from hidden traps and from deadly sickness.
4 He will cover you with his wings. Under the feathers of his wings you will find safety. He is faithful. He will keep you safe like a shield or a tower.
5 You won't have to be afraid of the terrors that come during the night. You won't have to fear the arrows that come at you during the day.
6 You won't have to be afraid of the sickness that attacks in the darkness. You won't have to fear the plague that destroys at noon.
7 A thousand may fall dead at your side. Ten thousand may fall near your right hand. But no harm will come to you.
8 You will see with your own eyes how God punishes sinful people.
9 The LORD is the one who keeps you safe. So let the Most High God be like a home to you.
10 Then no harm will come to you. No terrible plague will come near your tent.
11 The LORD will command his angels to take good care of you.
12 They will lift you up in their hands. Then you won't trip over a stone.
13 You will walk all over lions and cobras. You will crush mighty lions and poisonous snakes.
14 The LORD says, "I will save the one who loves me. I will keep him safe, because he trusts in me.
15 He will call out to me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in times of trouble. I will save him and honor him.
16 I will give him a long and full life. I will save him."

Psalms 92

1 Lord, it is good to praise you. Most High God, it is good to make music to honor you.
2 It is good to sing every morning about your love. It is good to sing every night about how faithful you are.
3 I sing about it to the music of the lyre that has ten strings. I sing about it to the music of the harp.
4 Lord, you make me glad by what you have done. I sing with joy about the works of your hands.
5 Lord, how great are the things you do! How wise your thoughts are!
6 Here is something a man who isn't wise doesn't know. Here is what a foolish person doesn't understand.
7 Those who are evil spring up like grass. Those who do wrong succeed. But they will be destroyed forever.
8 But Lord, you are honored forever.
9 Lord, your enemies will certainly die. All those who do evil will be scattered.
10 You have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have poured the finest olive oil on me.
11 I've seen my evil enemies destroyed. I've heard that they have lost the battle.
12 Those who do what is right will grow like a palm tree. They will grow strong like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
13 Their roots will be firm in the house of the Lord. They will grow strong and healthy in the courtyards of our God.
14 When they get old, they will still bear fruit. Like young trees they will stay fresh and strong.
15 They will say to everyone, "The LORD is honest. He is my Rock. There is no evil in him."

Psalms 93

1 The LORD rules. He puts on majesty as if it were clothes. The LORD puts on majesty and strength. The world is firmly set in place. It can't be moved.
2 Lord, you began to rule a long time ago. You have always existed.
3 Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice. They have lifted up their pounding waves.
4 But Lord, you are more powerful than the roar of the ocean. You are stronger than the waves of the sea. Lord, you are powerful in heaven.
5 Your laws do not change. Lord, your temple will be holy for all time to come.

Romans 15:1-13

1 We who have strong faith should help the weak with their problems. We should not please only ourselves.
2 We should all please our neighbors. Let us do what is good for them. Let us build them up.
3 Even Christ did not please himself. It is written, "Those who make fun of you have made fun of me also."(Psalm 69:9)
4 Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us. The Scriptures give us strength to go on. They cheer us up and give us hope.
5 Our God is a God who strengthens you and cheers you up. May he help you agree with each other as you follow Christ Jesus.
6 Then you can give glory to God with one heart and voice. He is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7 Christ has accepted you. So accept one another in order to bring praise to God.
8 I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews. He teaches us that God is true. He shows us that God will keep the promises he made to the founders of our nation.
9 Jesus became a servant of the Jews so that people who are not Jews could give glory to God for his mercy. It is written, "I will praise you among those who aren't Jews. I will sing praises to you." (2 Samuel 22:50; Psalm 18:49)
10 Again it says, "You non-Jews, be full of joy. Be joyful together with God's people." (Deuteronomy 32:43)
11 And again it says, "All you non-Jews, praise the Lord. All you nations, sing praises to him." (Psalm 117:1)
12 And Isaiah says, "The Root of Jesse will grow up quickly. He will rule over the nations. Those who aren't Jews will put their hope in him." (Isaiah 11:10)
13 May the God who gives hope fill you with great joy. May you have perfect peace as you trust in him. May the power of the Holy Spirit fill you with hope.
