Psalm 92-100

New King James Version

^5 (D)O Lord, how great are Your works!
^(E)Your thoughts are very deep.
^6 (F)A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.
⁷ When ^(G)the wicked ^[a]spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever.

^8 (H)But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.
⁹ For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall ^(I)be scattered.

¹⁰ But ^(J)my ^[b]horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been ^(K)anointed with fresh oil.
^11 (L)My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
My ears hear my desire on the wicked
Who rise up against me.

^12 (M)The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be ^[c]fresh and ^[d]flourishing,
¹⁵ To declare that the Lord is upright;
^(N)He is my rock, and ^(O)there is no unrighteousness in Him.

³ The floods have ^[f]lifted up, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their waves.
^4 (S)The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea.

⁵ Your testimonies are very sure;
Holiness adorns Your house,
O Lord, ^[g]forever.

⁴ They ^(W)utter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
⁵ They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.
⁶ They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
^7 (X)Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob ^[i]understand.”

⁸ Understand, you senseless among the people;
And you fools, when will you be wise?
^9 (Y)He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
¹⁰ He who ^[j]instructs the ^[k]nations, shall He not correct,
He who teaches man knowledge?
¹¹ The Lord ^(Z)knows the thoughts of man,
That they are futile.

¹² Blessed is the man whom You ^(AA)instruct, O Lord,
And teach out of Your law,
¹³ That You may give him ^[l]rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
¹⁴ For the Lord will not ^[m]cast off His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
¹⁵ But judgment will return to righteousness,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹⁶ Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
¹⁷ Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
¹⁸ If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
¹⁹ In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

²⁰ Shall ^(AB)the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?
²¹ They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn ^(AC)innocent blood.
²² But the Lord has been my defense,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
²³ He has brought on them their own iniquity,
And shall ^[n]cut them off in their own wickedness;
The Lord our God shall cut them off.

⁶ Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let ^(AG)us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
⁷ For He is our God,
And ^(AH)we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep ^[p]of His hand.

^(AI)Today, if you will hear His voice:
⁸ “Do not harden your hearts, as in the ^[q]rebellion,
^(AJ)As in the day of ^[r]trial in the wilderness,
⁹ When ^(AK)your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they ^(AL)saw My work.
¹⁰ For ^(AM)forty years I was ^[s]grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
¹¹ So ^(AN)I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

⁴ For ^(AQ)the Lord is great and ^(AR)greatly to be praised;
^(AS)He is to be feared above all gods.
⁵ For ^(AT)all the gods of the peoples are idols,
^(AU)But the Lord made the heavens.
⁶ Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and ^(AV)beauty are in His sanctuary.

^7 (AW)Give^[u] to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Give to the Lord glory and strength.
^8 [v]Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
⁹ Oh, worship the Lord ^(AX)in the beauty of holiness!
Tremble before Him, all the earth.

¹⁰ Say among the ^[w]nations, ^(AY)“The Lord reigns;
The world also is firmly established,
It shall not be ^[x]moved;
^(AZ)He shall judge the peoples righteously.”

^11 (BA)Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
^(BB)Let the sea roar, and ^[y]all its fullness;
¹² Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice
¹³     before the Lord.
For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
^(BC)He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.

^2 (BE)Clouds and darkness surround Him;
^(BF)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
^3 (BG)A fire goes before Him,
And burns up His enemies round about.
^4 (BH)His lightnings light the world;
The earth sees and trembles.
^5 (BI)The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
^6 (BJ)The heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples see His glory.

^7 (BK)Let all be put to shame who serve carved images,
Who boast of idols.
^(BL)Worship Him, all you gods.
⁸ Zion hears and is glad,
And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
⁹ For You, Lord, are ^(BM)most high above all the earth;
^(BN)You are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰ You who love the Lord, ^(BO)hate evil!
^(BP)He preserves the souls of His saints;
^(BQ)He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
^11 (BR)Light is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
^12 (BS)Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous,
^(BT)And give thanks ^[aa]at the remembrance of ^[ab]His holy name.

⁴ Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.
⁵ Sing to the Lord with the harp,
With the harp and the sound of a psalm,
⁶ With trumpets and the sound of a horn;
Shout joyfully before the Lord, the King.

⁷ Let the sea roar, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell in it;
⁸ Let the rivers clap their hands;
Let the hills be joyful together
⁹     before the Lord,
^(BZ)For He is coming to judge the earth.
With righteousness He shall judge the world,
And the peoples with ^[ad]equity.

⁴ The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
⁵ Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His footstool—
He is holy.

⁶ Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who ^(CB)called upon His name;
They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.
⁷ He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the ^[ag]ordinance He gave them.

⁸ You answered them, O Lord our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds.
⁹ Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His holy hill;
For the Lord our God is holy.

^4 (CG)Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
⁵ For the Lord is good;
^(CH)His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
