'Day' in the Bible

In Your name they rejoice all the day,And by Your righteousness they are exalted.

You will not be afraid of the terror by night,Or of the arrow that flies by day;

A Psalm, a Song for the Sabbath day.It is good to give thanks to the LordAnd to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;

Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

Sing to the Lord, bless His name;Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.

Do not hide Your face from me in the day of my distress;Incline Your ear to me;In the day when I call answer me quickly.

My enemies have reproached me all day long;Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.

Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power;In holy array, from the womb of the dawn,Your youth are to You as the dew.

The Lord is at Your right hand;He will shatter kings in the day of His wrath.

This is the day which the Lord has made;Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

They stand this day according to Your ordinances,For all things are Your servants.

Mem.O how I love Your law!It is my meditation all the day.

Seven times a day I praise You,Because of Your righteous ordinances.

The sun will not smite you by day,Nor the moon by night.

The sun to rule by day,For His lovingkindness is everlasting,

Remember, O Lord, against the sons of EdomThe day of Jerusalem,Who said, “Raze it, raze itTo its very foundation.”

On the day I called, You answered me;You made me bold with strength in my soul.

Even the darkness is not dark to You,And the night is as bright as the day.Darkness and light are alike to You.

“O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,You have covered my head in the day of battle.

Every day I will bless You,And I will praise Your name forever and ever.

His spirit departs, he returns to the earth;In that very day his thoughts perish.

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.

For jealousy enrages a man,And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,But righteousness delivers from death.

The Lord has made everything for its own purpose,Even the wicked for the day of evil.

All day long he is craving,While the righteous gives and does not hold back.

The horse is prepared for the day of battle,But victory belongs to the Lord.

If you are slack in the day of distress,Your strength is limited.

Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda,Is he who sings songs to a troubled heart.

Do not boast about tomorrow,For you do not know what a day may bring forth.

Do not forsake your own friend or your father’s friend,And do not go to your brother’s house in the day of your calamity;Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.

A constant dripping on a day of steady rainAnd a contentious woman are alike;

A good name is better than a good ointment,And the day of one’s death is better than the day of one’s birth.

In the day of prosperity be happy,But in the day of adversity consider—God has made the one as well as the otherSo that man will not discover anything that will be after him.

No man has authority to restrain the wind with the wind, or authority over the day of death; and there is no discharge in the time of war, and evil will not deliver those who practice it.

in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim;

“Until the cool of the day when the shadows flee away,Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelleOr a young stag on the mountains of Bether.”

“Go forth, O daughters of Zion,And gaze on King Solomon with the crownWith which his mother has crowned himOn the day of his wedding,And on the day of his gladness of heart.”
