Psalm 4:4-8

English Standard Version

⁴^(A)Be angry,^[a] and do not sin;
^(B)ponder in your own hearts ^(C)on your beds, and be silent. Selah
⁵Offer ^(D)right sacrifices,
and put your ^(E)trust in the Lord.

⁶There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
^(F)Lift up ^(G)the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
⁷You have put ^(H)more joy in my heart
than they have when their grain and wine abound.

⁸In peace I will both ^(I)lie down and sleep;
for you alone, O Lord, make me ^(J)dwell in safety.

Psalm 44:1-3

English Standard Version

Come to Our Help

To the choirmaster. ^(A)A Maskil^[a] of the Sons of Korah.

44 O God, we have heard with our ears,
    ^(B)our fathers have told us,
what deeds you performed in their days,
    ^(C)in the days of old:
²you with your own hand ^(D)drove out the nations,
    but ^(E)them you planted;
you afflicted the peoples,
    but ^(F)them you set free;
³for not ^(G)by their own sword did they win the land,
    nor did their own arm save them,
but your right hand and your arm,
    and ^(H)the light of your face,
    ^(I)for you delighted in them.

Psalm 95

English Standard Version

Let Us Sing Songs of Praise

95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
    let us ^(A)make a joyful noise to ^(B)the rock of our salvation!
²Let us ^(C)come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us ^(D)make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
³For the Lord is ^(E)a great God,
    and a great King ^(F)above all gods.
⁴In his hand are the depths of the earth;
    the heights of the mountains are his also.
⁵The sea is his, for ^(G)he made it,
    and his hands formed ^(H)the dry land.

⁶Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us ^(I)kneel before the Lord, our ^(J)Maker!
⁷For he is our ^(K)God,
    and we are the people of his ^(L)pasture,
    and the sheep of his hand.
^(M)Today, if you ^(N)hear his voice,
⁸    ^(O)do not harden your hearts, as at ^(P)Meribah,
    as on the day at ^(Q)Massah in the wilderness,
⁹when your fathers put me to the ^(R)test
    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my ^(S)work.
¹⁰^(T)For forty years I loathed that generation
    and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
    and they have not known ^(U)my ways.”
¹¹Therefore I ^(V)swore in my wrath,
    “They shall not enter ^(W)my rest.”

Zephaniah 3:11-17

English Standard Version

¹¹^(A)“On that day ^(B)you shall not be put to shame
    because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me;
for then ^(C)I will remove from your midst
    your proudly exultant ones,
and ^(D)you shall no longer be haughty
    in my holy mountain.
¹²But I will leave in your midst
    a people ^(E)humble and lowly.
^(F)They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord,
¹³    ^(G)those who are left in Israel;
they ^(H)shall do no injustice
    and speak no lies,
^(I)nor shall there be found in their mouth
    a deceitful tongue.
^(J)For they shall graze and lie down,
    and none shall make them afraid.”

Israel's Joy and Restoration

¹⁴^(K)Sing aloud, O daughter of Zion;
    shout, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
    O daughter of Jerusalem!
¹⁵The Lord has taken away the judgments against you;
    he has cleared away your enemies.
^(L)The King of Israel, ^(M)the Lord, is in your midst;
    you shall never again fear evil.
¹⁶^(N)On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Fear not, O Zion;
    ^(O)let not your hands grow weak.
¹⁷^(P)The Lord your God is in your midst,
    ^(Q)a mighty one who will save;
^(R)he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
