Psalms 94

1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs— O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!

2Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.

3LORD, how long will the wicked, How long will the wicked triumph?

4They utter speech, and speak insolent things; All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.

5They break in pieces Your people, O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.

6They slay the widow and the stranger, And murder the fatherless.

7Yet they say, “The LORD does not see, Nor does the God of Jacob understand.”

8Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?

9He who planted the ear, shall He not hear? He who formed the eye, shall He not see?

10He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct, He who teaches man knowledge?

11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.

12Blessed is the man whom You instruct, O LORD, And teach out of Your law,

13That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked.

14For the LORD will not cast off His people, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.

15But judgment will return to righteousness, And all the upright in heart will follow it.

16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17Unless the LORD had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence.

18If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.

19In the multitude of my anxieties within me, Your comforts delight my soul.

20Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, Have fellowship with You?

21They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.

22But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.

23He has brought on them their own iniquity, And shall cut them off in their own wickedness; The LORD our God shall cut them off.

Psalms 95

1Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

2Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

3For the LORD is the great God, And the great King above all gods.

4In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also.

5The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land.

6Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

7For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:

8“Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, As in the day of trial in the wilderness,

9When your fathers tested Me; They tried Me, though they saw My work.

10For forty years I was grieved with that generation, And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, And they do not know My ways.’

11So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

Psalms 96

1Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

3Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

4For the LORD is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.

6Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7Give to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Give to the LORD glory and strength.

8Give to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts.

9Oh, worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth.

10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.”

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;

12Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the LORD.

13For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.
