Psalm 94

1  O Lord †God, ato whom vengeance belongeth;

bO God, to whom vengeance belongeth, †shew thyself.

2  cLift up thyself, thou djudge of the earth:

Render a reward to the proud.

3  Lord, cHow long shall the wicked,

bHow long shall the wicked triumph?

4  How long shall they eeutter and speak fhard things?

And all gthe workers of iniquity boast themselves?

5  They hbreak in pieces thy people, O Lord,

And afflict thine heritage.

6  They slay the widow and the stranger,

And murder the fatherless.

7  iYet they say, The kLord shall not see,

Neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

8  lUnderstand, ye lbrutish mamong the people:

And ye lfools, when will ye be wise?

9  nHe that planted the ear, shall he not hear?

He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

10  He that ochastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?

pHe that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

11  qThe Lord knoweth the thoughts of man,

That they are rvanity.

12  Blessed is the man whom thou oschastenest, O kLord,

And pteachest him out of thy law;

13  That thou mayest tgive him rest from uthe days of adversity,

Until vthe pit be digged for the wicked.

14  For wthe Lord will not cast off his people,

Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

15  But judgment shall return unto righteousness:

And all xthe upright in heart †shall follow it.

16  Who will yrise up for me zagainst the evildoers?

Or who will ystand up for me zagainst gthe workers of iniquity?

17  aUnless the Lord had been my help,

My soul had ||balmost dwelt in csilence.

18  When I said, dMy foot slippeth;

Thy mercy, O Lord, eheld me up.

19  In the multitude of my fthoughts within me

Thy comforts delight my soul.

20  Shall the throne of giniquity have fellowship with thee,

Which frameth mischief hby a law?

21  They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,

And icondemn the innocent blood.

22  But the Lord is my jdefence;

And my God is kthe rock of my lrefuge.

23  And mhe shall bring upon them their own iniquity,

And shall nocut them off in their own wickedness;

Yea, the Lord our God oshall ncut them off.

Psalm 95*

1  O come, let us sing unto the Lord:

aLet us make a joyful noise to bthe rock of our salvation.

2  Let us †come before his presence with thanksgiving,

And amake a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

3  For cthe Lord is a great God,

And a great King ccabove all gods.

4  †In his hand are the deep places of the earth:

||The dstrength of the hills is his also.

5  †The sea is his, and ehe made it:

And his hands formed ethe dry land.

6  O come, let us fworship and gbow down:

Let us hkneel before the Lord iour maker.

7  For he is our God;

And we are kthe people of his pasture, and lthe sheep of his hand.

mTo day if ye will nhear his voice,

8  oHarden not your heart, pas in the †provocation,

And as in the day of qtemptation in the wilderness:

9  When your fathers nqtempted me,

Proved me, and saw rmy work.

10  sForty years long was I tgrieved with this generation,

And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,

And they have not known my ways:

11  Unto whom uI sware in my wrath

†That they should not enter into my xrest.

Psalm 96*

1  acO sing unto the Lord ba new song:

cSing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2  Sing unto the Lord, bless his name;

Shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3  Declare his glory among the heathen,

His wonders among all people.

4  dFor the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised:

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  Honour and majesty are before him:

eStrength and ebeauty are in his sanctuary.

7  Give unto the Lord, O ye fkindreds of the people,

cGive unto the Lord glory and strength.

8  cGive unto the Lord the glory †due unto his name:

Bring gan offering, and come into hhis courts.

9  O worship the Lord ||in the beauty of holiness:

hhFear before him, all the earth.

10  Say among the heathen that ithe Lord reigneth:

iThe world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:

jHe shall judge the people krighteously.

11  Let the heavens rejoice, and llet the earth be glad;

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12  mLet the field be joyful, and all that is therein:

Then shall all the trees of the wood nrejoice

13  Before the Lord: for he cometh,

For jhe cometh to judge the earth:

cHe shall judge the world with righteousness,

And the people with his truth.

Psalm 97

1  aThe Lord reigneth; blet the earth rejoice;

Let the †multitude of cisles be glad thereof.

2  dClouds and ddarkness are round about him:

eRighteousness and judgment are the ||ehabitation of his throne.

3  fA fire goeth before him,

And burneth up his enemies round about.

4  gHis lightnings enlightened the world:

The earth saw, and trembled.

5  hThe hills melted ilike wax at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of kthe Lord of the whole earth.

6  lThe heavens declare his righteousness,

And all the people see his glory.

7  Confounded be all they that serve mgraven images,

That boast themselves of nidols:

oWorship him, all ye gods.

8  Zion heard, and pwas glad;

And pthe daughters of Judah rejoiced

Because of thy judgments, O Lord.

9  For thou, Lord, art qhigh above all the earth:

Thou art exalted far rabove all gods.

10  Ye that love the Lord, shate evil:

tHe preserveth the souls of uhis saints;

vHe delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

11  wLight is sown for the righteous,

And gladness for xthe upright in heart.

12  yRejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;

zAnd give thanks ||at the remembrance of his holiness.

Psalm 98

*A Psalm.

1  O asing unto the Lord a new song;

For bhe hath done marvellous things:

cHis right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.

2  dThe Lord hath made known his salvation:

deHis righteousness hath he ||fopenly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

3  He hath gremembered his hmercy and his htruth toward the house of Israel:

diAll the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4  kMake a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth:

lMake a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

5  Sing unto the Lord with the mharp;

mWith the harp, and nthe voice of a psalm.

6  With otrumpets and sound of pcornet

kqMake a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

7  rLet the sea roar, and sthe fulness thereof;

The world, and they that dwell therein.

8  Let the floods tclap their hands:

Let uthe hills be joyful together

9  Before the Lord; xfor he cometh to judge the earth:

With righteousness shall he judge the world,

And the people ywith equity.
