Psalm 92-95

Psalm 92
A psalm. A song to be sung on the Sabbath Day.
1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to the Most High.
2 It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,
your faithfulness in the evening,
3 accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp,
and the melody of a lyre.
4 You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!
I sing for joy because of what you have done.
5 O Lord, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts.
6 Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:
7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
8 But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
9 Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
10 But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
You have anointed me with the finest oil.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.
12 But the godly will flourish like palm trees
and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon.
13 For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.
They flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit;
they will remain vital and green.
15 They will declare, “The Lord is just!
He is my rock!
There is no evil in him!”
Psalm 93
1 The Lord is king! He is robed in majesty.
Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength.
The world stands firm
and cannot be shaken.
2 Your throne, O Lord, has stood from time immemorial.
You yourself are from the everlasting past.
3 The floods have risen up, O Lord.
The floods have roared like thunder;
the floods have lifted their pounding waves.
4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seas,
mightier than the breakers on the shore—
the Lord above is mightier than these!
5 Your royal laws cannot be changed.
Your reign, O Lord, is holy forever and ever.
Psalm 94
1 O Lord, the God of vengeance,
O God of vengeance, let your glorious justice shine forth!
2 Arise, O Judge of the earth.
Give the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, O Lord?
How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
4 How long will they speak with arrogance?
How long will these evil people boast?
5 They crush your people, Lord,
hurting those you claim as your own.
6 They kill widows and foreigners
and murder orphans.
7 “The Lord isn’t looking,” they say,
“and besides, the God of Israel[a] doesn’t care.”
8 Think again, you fools!
When will you finally catch on?
9 Is he deaf—the one who made your ears?
Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?
10 He punishes the nations—won’t he also punish you?
He knows everything—doesn’t he also know what you are doing?
11 The Lord knows people’s thoughts;
he knows they are worthless!
12 Joyful are those you discipline, Lord,
those you teach with your instructions.
13 You give them relief from troubled times
until a pit is dug to capture the wicked.
14 The Lord will not reject his people;
he will not abandon his special possession.
15 Judgment will again be founded on justice,
and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.
16 Who will protect me from the wicked?
Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
17 Unless the Lord had helped me,
I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.
18 I cried out, “I am slipping!”
but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me.
19 When doubts filled my mind,
your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
20 Can unjust leaders claim that God is on their side—
leaders whose decrees permit injustice?
21 They gang up against the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord is my fortress;
my God is the mighty rock where I hide.
23 God will turn the sins of evil people back on them.
He will destroy them for their sins.
The Lord our God will destroy them.
Psalm 95
1 Come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
3 For the Lord is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
4 He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
and the mightiest mountains.
5 The sea belongs to him, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land, too.
6 Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord our maker,
7 for he is our God.
We are the people he watches over,
the flock under his care.
If only you would listen to his voice today!
8 The Lord says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah,
as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
9 For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience,
even though they saw everything I did.
10 For forty years I was angry with them, and I said,
‘They are a people whose hearts turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.’
11 So in my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”

Psalm 92-95
New International Version
Psalm 92[a]
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.
1 It is good to praise the Lord
and make music(A) to your name,(B) O Most High,(C)
2 proclaiming your love in the morning(D)
and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre(E)
and the melody of the harp.(F)
4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
I sing for joy(G) at what your hands have done.(H)
5 How great are your works,(I) Lord,
how profound your thoughts!(J)
6 Senseless people(K) do not know,
fools do not understand,
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.(L)
8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.
9 For surely your enemies(M), Lord,
surely your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.(N)
10 You have exalted my horn[b](O) like that of a wild ox;(P)
fine oils(Q) have been poured on me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.(R)
12 The righteous will flourish(S) like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;(T)
13 planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.(U)
14 They will still bear fruit(V) in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.(W)”
Psalm 93
1 The Lord reigns,(X) he is robed in majesty;(Y)
the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength;(Z)
indeed, the world is established,(AA) firm and secure.(AB)
2 Your throne was established(AC) long ago;
you are from all eternity.(AD)
3 The seas(AE) have lifted up, Lord,
the seas have lifted up their voice;(AF)
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.(AG)
4 Mightier than the thunder(AH) of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers(AI) of the sea—
the Lord on high is mighty.(AJ)
Psalm 94
1 The Lord is a God who avenges.(AM)
O God who avenges, shine forth.(AN)
2 Rise up,(AO) Judge(AP) of the earth;
pay back(AQ) to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?(AR)
4 They pour out arrogant(AS) words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.(AT)
5 They crush your people,(AU) Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.(AV)
6 They slay the widow(AW) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(AX)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;(AY)
the God of Jacob(AZ) takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(BA) among the people;
you fools, when will you become wise?
9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
Does he who formed the eye not see?(BB)
10 Does he who disciplines(BC) nations not punish?
Does he who teaches(BD) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(BE)
he knows that they are futile.(BF)
12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(BG) Lord,
the one you teach(BH) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(BI)
till a pit(BJ) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(BK)
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(BL)
and all the upright in heart(BM) will follow it.
16 Who will rise up(BN) for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?(BO)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,(BP)
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.(BQ)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,(BR)”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety(BS) was great within me,
your consolation(BT) brought me joy.
20 Can a corrupt throne(BU) be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?(BV)
21 The wicked band together(BW) against the righteous
and condemn the innocent(BX) to death.(BY)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock(BZ) in whom I take refuge.(CA)
23 He will repay(CB) them for their sins
and destroy(CC) them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.
Psalm 95
1 Come,(CD) let us sing for joy(CE) to the Lord;
let us shout aloud(CF) to the Rock(CG) of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him(CH) with thanksgiving(CI)
and extol him with music(CJ) and song.
3 For the Lord is the great God,(CK)
the great King(CL) above all gods.(CM)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,(CN)
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.(CO)
6 Come, let us bow down(CP) in worship,(CQ)
let us kneel(CR) before the Lord our Maker;(CS)
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,(CT)
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 “Do not harden your hearts(CU) as you did at Meribah,[c](CV)
as you did that day at Massah[d] in the wilderness,(CW)
9 where your ancestors tested(CX) me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(CY) I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(CZ)
and they have not known my ways.’(DA)
11 So I declared on oath(DB) in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(DC)
