Psalm 92:1-97:12

92
Chapter 92
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day. 1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing to your name, Most High. 2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning and your faithfulness at night. 3 Upon a ten-stringed instrument and upon a lute, upon a lyre with a harp. 4 For you have gladdened me, LORD, with your work; in the works of your hands I will sing for joy. 5 How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep. 6 A boorish man does not know, and a fool does not understand this. 7 When the wicked flourish like grass and all the workers of On sprout up, it is to destroy them forever. 8 But you, LORD, are on high forever. 9 For behold, your enemies, O LORD—for behold, your enemies will perish; all workers of iniquity will scatter. 10 But you have exalted my horn like the horn of the wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil. 11 And my eye will look on my enemies; my ears will hear evildoers rising up against me. 12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, will grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Planted in the house of the LORD, in the courts of our God, they will flourish. 14 They will still bear fruit in old age; they will be fat and lush. 15 to declare that the LORD is upright, my rock, and there is no injustice in him.

Chapter 93
1 The LORD reigns. He has clothed himself with majesty; he has clothed himself with majesty. The LORD has girded himself with strength. The world is established; it will not totter. 2 Your throne is established from eternity; you are. 3 The rivers have lifted up their voices, LORD; the rivers have lifted up their voices; the rivers lift up their roaring. 4 More than the voices of many waters, majestic breakers of the Sea, the LORD is majestic in the heights. 5 Your testimonies are greatly trusted. Holiness belongs to your house, O LORD, to length of days.

Chapter 94
1 God of vengeance, LORD, God of vengeance, appear! 2 Rise up, judge the earth; give recompense to the proud. 3 "How long, wicked ones? LORD, how long will the wicked exult?" 4 They gush; they speak arrogance; all workers of iniquity are called exalted. 5 They crush your people, O LORD, and afflict your inheritance. 6 They slay the widow and the sojourner, and murder the orphans. 7 And they say, "He will not see—Yah, he will not understand, God of Jacob." 8 Understand, O brutish among the people and dullards—when will you discern? 9 The one who planted an ear, does he not hear? The one who formed an eye, does he not see? 10 He who disciplines the nations, will he not reprove? He who teaches man knowledge? 11 The LORD knows the thoughts of Adam, for they are vanity. 12 Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Jah, and whom you teach from your Torah. 13 to quiet him from days of evil until he digs a pit for the wicked. 14 For the LORD will not abandon his people, and he will not leave his inheritance. 15 For judgment will return until righteousness, and after it all the upright of heart. 16 Who will rise up for me against evildoers? Who will stand up for me against workers of iniquity? 17 Unless the LORD had been my helper, my nephesh would almost have dwelt in silence. 18 If I said, "My foot has slipped," your steadfast love, O LORD, supports me. 19 In the abundance of my anxieties in my midst, your consolations delight my soul. 20 Shall it join with you—a throne of wickedness that forms toil upon a statute? 21 They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn innocent blood. 22 But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God the Rock of my refuge. 23 And he will turn back upon them their iniquity and their evil—he will destroy them, the LORD our God.

Chapter 95
1 Come, let us shout for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his face with thanksgiving, with songs of praise; let us shout to him. 3 For the LORD God is great and a great King over all gods. 4 In whose hand are the depths of the land and the heights of the mountains—to him 5 To whom belongs the sea, and he made it and the dry land his hands formed 6 Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. 7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the flock of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice, 8 Do not harden your heart as at Meribah, on the day of Massah in the wilderness. 9 who tested me, your fathers; they probed me—they also saw my deeds. 10 For forty years I loathed that generation, and I said, "They are a people who stray in their hearts, and they have not known my ways." 11 whom I swore by my nostrils they would not enter my rest.

Chapter 96
1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; declare his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare among the nations his glory, among all the peoples his wonders. 4 For the LORD is great and much praised; he is fearsome over all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens. 6 Splendor and majesty are before him, strength and beauty in his sanctuary. 7 Give to the LORD, families of peoples; give to the LORD glory and might. 8 Give to the LORD the glory of his name; bring an offering and come into his courtyards. 9 Bow down to the LORD in the majesty of the holy place; his cosmic might—from his face—all the earth. 10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns. The world is firmly established; it will not totter. He will judge the peoples in uprightness." 11 Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth exult; let the sea thunder and its fullness. 12 Let the field exult and all that is in it; then let all the trees of the forest shout for joy. 13 before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the land. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Chapter 97
1 The LORD reigns. The earth exults. Many islands rejoice. 2 Cloud and thick darkness are around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 3 Fire goes before his face and blazes all around his foes. 4 His lightnings illumined Tubal; the earth saw and trembled. 5 Mountains like wax melted before the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth. 6 Declare, O heavens: They have justified, and all the peoples saw his divine glory. 7 Let all servants of a carved image be ashamed, those who boast in idols. Bow down to him, all gods. 8 Zion heard and rejoiced. The daughters of Judah exulted on account of your judgments, O LORD. 9 For you, LORD, are Most High over all the earth; you are greatly exalted above all gods. 10 Lovers of the LORD, hate evil. He guards the lives of his faithful ones from the hand of the wicked; he will deliver them. 11 Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright of heart. 12 Rejoice in the LORD, righteous ones, and give thanks to the memorial of his holy thing.
