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.

Psalm 94

Deuteronomy 5:22-33

New International Version

²²These are the commandments the Lord proclaimed in a loud voice to your whole assembly there on the mountain from out of the fire, the cloud and the deep darkness;^(A) and he added nothing more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets^(B) and gave them to me.

²³When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, all the leaders of your tribes and your elders^(C) came to me. ²⁴And you said, “The Lord our God has shown us^(D) his glory and his majesty,^(E) and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.^(F) ²⁵But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer.^(G) ²⁶For what mortal has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived?^(H) ²⁷Go near and listen to all that the Lord our God says.^(I) Then tell us whatever the Lord our God tells you. We will listen and obey.”^(J)

²⁸The Lord heard you when you spoke to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard what this people said to you. Everything they said was good.^(K) ²⁹Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me^(L) and keep all my commands^(M) always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!^(N)

³⁰“Go, tell them to return to their tents. ³¹But you stay here^(O) with me so that I may give you all the commands, decrees and laws you are to teach them to follow in the land I am giving them to possess.”

³²So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you;^(P) do not turn aside to the right or to the left.^(Q) ³³Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you,^(R) so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days^(S) in the land that you will possess.

Suffering for Doing Good

⁸Finally, all of you, be like-minded,^(A) be sympathetic, love one another,^(B) be compassionate and humble.^(C) ⁹Do not repay evil with evil^(D) or insult with insult.^(E) On the contrary, repay evil with blessing,^(F) because to this^(G) you were called^(H) so that you may inherit a blessing.^(I) ¹⁰For,

“Whoever would love life
    and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech.
¹¹They must turn from evil and do good;
    they must seek peace and pursue it.
¹²For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
    and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”^[a]^(J)
