PSALM NINETY SEVEN

Psalm 97 

1 

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad;
    let the distant shores rejoice.

2 

Clouds and thick darkness surround Him;
    righteousness and justice 

are the foundation of His throne.

3 

Fire goes before Him
    and consumes His foes on every side.

4 

His lightning lights up the world;
    the earth sees and trembles.

5 

The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
    before the Lord of all the earth.

6 

The heavens proclaim His righteousness,
    and all peoples see His glory.

7 

All who worship images are put to shame,
    those who boast in idols –
    worship Him, all you gods!

8 

Zion hears and rejoices
    and the villages of Judah are glad
    because of your judgments, Lord.

9 

For you, Lord, are the Most High over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above all gods.

10 

Let those who love the Lord hate evil,
    for He guards the lives of His faithful ones
    and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11 

Light shines on the righteous
    and joy on the upright in heart.

12 

Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous,
    and praise His holy name.

PSALM NINETY SIX

 Psalm 96

1 

Sing to the Lord a new song;
    sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 

Sing to the Lord, praise His name;
    proclaim His salvation day after day.

3 

Declare His glory among the nations,
   His marvellous deeds among all peoples.

4 

For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    He is to be feared above all gods.

5 

For all the gods of the nations are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.

6 

Splendour and majesty are before Him;
    strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

7 

Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

8 

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name;
    bring an offering and come into His courts.

9 

Worship the Lord in the splendour of His holiness;
    tremble before Him, all the earth.

10 

Say among the nations, ‘The Lord reigns.’
    The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
    He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.

12 

Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.

13 

Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for He comes,
    He comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
    and the peoples in His faithfulness.

PSALM NINETY FIVE

Psalm 95

1 

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

2 

Let us come before Him with thanksgiving
    and extol Him with music and song.

3 

For the Lord is the great God,
    the great King above all gods.

4 

In His hand are the depths of the earth,
    and the mountain peaks belong to Him.

5 

The sea is His, for He made it,
    and His hands formed the dry land.

6 

Come, let us bow down in worship,
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;

7 

for He is our God
    and we are the people of His pasture,
    the flock under His care.

Today, if only you would hear His voice,

8 

‘Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,
    as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness,

9 

where your ancestors tested me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

10 

For forty years I was angry with that generation;
    I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,
    and they have not known my ways.”

11 

So I declared on oath in my anger,
    “They shall never enter my rest.”’

PSALM NINETY FOUR

 

Psalm 94

1 

The Lord is a God who avenges.
    O God who avenges, shine forth.

2 

Rise up, Judge of the earth;
    pay back to the proud what they deserve.

3 

How long, Lord, will the wicked,
    how long will the wicked be jubilant?

4 

They pour out arrogant words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.

5 

They crush your people, Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.

6 

They slay the widow and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.

7 

They say, ‘The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob takes no notice.’

8 

Take notice, you senseless ones among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?

9 

Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?

10 

Does he who disciplines nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches mankind lack knowledge?

11 

The Lord knows all human plans;
    he knows that they are futile.

12 

Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord,
    the one you teach from your law;

13 

you grant them relief from days of trouble,
    till a pit is dug for the wicked.

14 

For the Lord will not reject his people;
    he will never forsake his inheritance.

15 

Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,
    and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 

Who will rise up for me against the wicked?
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

17 

Unless the Lord had given me help,
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

18 

When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.

19 

When anxiety was great within me,
    your consolation brought me joy.

20 

Can a corrupt throne be allied with you –
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?

21 

The wicked band together against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent to death.

22 

But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.

23 

He will repay them for their sins
    and destroy them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.

The seas have lifted up, Lord,
    the seas have lifted up their voice;

4 

Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
    mightier than the breakers of the sea –
    the Lord on high is mighty.

5 

Your statutes, Lord, stand firm;
    holiness adorns your house
    for endless days.

Psalm 93

PSALM NINETY TWO

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

1 

It is good to praise the Lord
    and make music to your name, O Most High,

2 

proclaiming your love in the morning
    and your faithfulness at night,

3 

to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
    and the melody of the harp.

4 

For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
    I sing for joy at what your hands have done.

5 

How great are your works, Lord,
    how profound your thoughts!

6 

Senseless people do not know,
    fools do not understand,

7 

that though the wicked spring up like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed for ever.

8 

But you, Lord, are for ever exalted.

9 

For surely your enemies, Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish;
    all evildoers will be scattered.

10 

You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;
    fine oils have been poured on me.

11 

My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

12 

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

13 

planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.

14 

They will still bear fruit in old age,
    they will stay fresh and green,

15 

proclaiming, ‘The Lord is upright;
    he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.’
