Psalm 93

New International Version

Psalm 93

¹The Lord reigns,^(A) he is robed in majesty;^(B)
    the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength;^(C)
    indeed, the world is established,^(D) firm and secure.^(E)
²Your throne was established^(F) long ago;
    you are from all eternity.^(G)

³The seas^(H) have lifted up, Lord,
    the seas have lifted up their voice;^(I)
    the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.^(J)
⁴Mightier than the thunder^(K) of the great waters,
    mightier than the breakers^(L) of the sea—
    the Lord on high is mighty.^(M)

⁵Your statutes, Lord, stand firm;
holiness^(N) adorns your house^(O)
for endless days.

Deuteronomy 7:1-11

New International Version

Driving Out the Nations

7 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess^(A) and drives out before you many nations^(B)—the Hittites,^(C) Girgashites,^(D) Amorites,^(E) Canaanites, Perizzites,^(F) Hivites^(G) and Jebusites,^(H) seven nations larger and stronger than you— ²and when the Lord your God has delivered^(I) them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy^(J) them totally.^[a]^(K) Make no treaty^(L) with them, and show them no mercy.^(M) ³Do not intermarry with them.^(N) Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, ⁴for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods,^(O) and the Lord’s anger will burn against you and will quickly destroy^(P) you. ⁵This is what you are to do to them: Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones, cut down their Asherah poles^[b]^(Q) and burn their idols in the fire.^(R) ⁶For you are a people holy^(S) to the Lord your God.^(T) The Lord your God has chosen^(U) you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.^(V)

⁷The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous^(W) than other peoples, for you were the fewest^(X) of all peoples.^(Y) ⁸But it was because the Lord loved^(Z) you and kept the oath he swore^(AA) to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand^(AB) and redeemed^(AC) you from the land of slavery,^(AD) from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. ⁹Know therefore that the Lord your God is God;^(AE) he is the faithful God,^(AF) keeping his covenant of love^(AG) to a thousand generations^(AH) of those who love him and keep his commandments.^(AI) ¹⁰But

those who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction;
he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.^(AJ)

¹¹Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.
