Psalm 93-95
English Standard Version
The Lord Reigns
93 (A)The Lord reigns; he is (B)robed in majesty;
the Lord is (C)robed; he has (D)put on strength as his belt.
(E)Yes, the world is established; (F)it shall never be moved.
2 (G)Your throne is established from of old;
(H)you are from everlasting.
3 (I)The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
4 Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
(J)the Lord (K)on high is mighty!
The Lord Will Not Forsake His People
94 O Lord, God of (N)vengeance,
O God of vengeance, (O)shine forth!
2 (P)Rise up, O (Q)judge of the earth;
repay to the (R)proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, (S)how long shall the wicked,
how long shall (T)the wicked exult?
4 They pour out their (U)arrogant words;
all (V)the evildoers boast.
5 They (W)crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill (X)the widow and the sojourner,
and murder (Y)the fatherless;
7 (Z)and they say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
8 (AA)Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
9 (AB)He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who (AC)disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who (AD)teaches man knowledge—
11 (AE)the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
that they are (AF)but a breath.[a]
12 (AG)Blessed is the man whom you (AH)discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13 to give him (AI)rest from (AJ)days of trouble,
until (AK)a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 (AL)For the Lord will not forsake his (AM)people;
he will not abandon his (AN)heritage;
15 for (AO)justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will (AP)follow it.
16 (AQ)Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 (AR)If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of (AS)silence.
18 When I thought, (AT)“My foot slips,”
your steadfast love, O Lord, (AU)held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can (AV)wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame[b] injustice by (AW)statute?
21 They (AX)band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn (AY)the innocent to death.[c]
22 But the Lord has become my (AZ)stronghold,
and my God (BA)the rock of my (BB)refuge.
23 He will bring back on them (BC)their iniquity
and (BD)wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.
Let Us Sing Songs of Praise
95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us (BE)make a joyful noise to (BF)the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us (BG)come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us (BH)make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3 For the Lord is (BI)a great God,
and a great King (BJ)above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for (BK)he made it,
and his hands formed (BL)the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us (BM)kneel before the Lord, our (BN)Maker!
7 For he is our (BO)God,
and we are the people of his (BP)pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
(BQ)Today, if you (BR)hear his voice,
8 (BS)do not harden your hearts, as at (BT)Meribah,
as on the day at (BU)Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers put me to the (BV)test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my (BW)work.
10 (BX)For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known (BY)my ways.”
11 Therefore I (BZ)swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter (CA)my rest.”

1 The 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)
2 Your throne was established(F) long ago;
you are from all eternity.(G)
3 The seas(H) have lifted up, Lord,
the seas have lifted up their voice;(I)
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.(J)

the Lord on high is mighty.(M)
Psalm 94
1 The Lord is a God who avenges.(P)
O God who avenges, shine forth.(Q)
2 Rise up,(R) Judge(S) of the earth;
pay back(T) to the proud what they deserve.
3 How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?(U)
4 They pour out arrogant(V) words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.(W)
5 They crush your people,(X) Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.(Y)
6 They slay the widow(Z) and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.(AA)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;(AB)
the God of Jacob(AC) takes no notice.”
8 Take notice, you senseless ones(AD) 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?(AE)
10 Does he who disciplines(AF) nations not punish?
Does he who teaches(AG) mankind lack knowledge?
11 The Lord knows all human plans;(AH)
he knows that they are futile.(AI)
12 Blessed is the one you discipline,(AJ) Lord,
the one you teach(AK) from your law;
13 you grant them relief from days of trouble,(AL)
till a pit(AM) is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not reject his people;(AN)
he will never forsake his inheritance.
15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,(AO)
and all the upright in heart(AP) will follow it.
16 Who will rise up(AQ) for me against the wicked?
Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?(AR)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,(AS)
I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.(AT)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,(AU)”
your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
19 When anxiety(AV) was great within me,
your consolation(AW) brought me joy.
20 Can a corrupt throne(AX) be allied with you—
a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?(AY)
21 The wicked band together(AZ) against the righteous
and condemn the innocent(BA) to death.(BB)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
and my God the rock(BC) in whom I take refuge.(BD)
23 He will repay(BE) them for their sins
and destroy(BF) them for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will destroy them.
Psalm 95
1 Come,(BG) let us sing for joy(BH) to the Lord;
let us shout aloud(BI) to the Rock(BJ) of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him(BK) with thanksgiving(BL)
and extol him with music(BM) and song.
3 For the Lord is the great God,(BN)
the great King(BO) above all gods.(BP)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,(BQ)
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.(BR)
6 Come, let us bow down(BS) in worship,(BT)
let us kneel(BU) before the Lord our Maker;(BV)
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,(BW)
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 “Do not harden your hearts(BX) as you did at Meribah,[a](BY)
as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(BZ)
9 where your ancestors tested(CA) me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(CB) I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(CC)
and they have not known my ways.’(CD)
11 So I declared on oath(CE) in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(CF)

Romans 11:22-36
English Standard Version
Romans 11:22-36
English Standard Version
22 Note then the kindness and the severity of God: severity toward those who have fallen, but God's kindness to you, (A)provided you continue in his kindness. Otherwise (B)you too will be cut off. 23 And (C)even they, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in, for God has the power to graft them in again. 24 For if you were cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and grafted, contrary to nature, into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural branches, be grafted back into their own olive tree.
The Mystery of Israel's Salvation
25 (D)Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers:[a] (E)a partial hardening has come upon Israel, (F)until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. 26 And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
(G)“The Deliverer will come (H)from Zion,
he will banish ungodliness from Jacob”;
27 “and this will be my (I)covenant with them
(J)when I take away their sins.”
28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are (K)beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and (L)the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as (M)you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now[b] receive mercy. 32 For God (N)has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all.
33 Oh, the depth of the riches and (O)wisdom and knowledge of God! (P)How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!
34 “For (Q)who has known the mind of the Lord,
or (R)who has been his counselor?”
35 “Or (S)who has given a gift to him
that he might be repaid?”
36 For (T)from him and through him and to him are all things. (U)To him be glory forever. Amen.

Romans 11:22-36
New International Version
Romans 11:22-36
New International Version
22 Consider therefore the kindness(A) and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue(B) in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.(C) 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.(D) 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree,(E) how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
All Israel Will Be Saved
25 I do not want you to be ignorant(F) of this mystery,(G) brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited:(H) Israel has experienced a hardening(I) in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,(J) 26 and in this way[a] all Israel will be saved.(K) As it is written:
“The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27 And this is[b] my covenant with them
when I take away their sins.”[c](L)
28 As far as the gospel is concerned, they are enemies(M) for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved on account of the patriarchs,(N) 29 for God’s gifts and his call(O) are irrevocable.(P) 30 Just as you who were at one time disobedient(Q) to God have now received mercy as a result of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now become disobedient in order that they too may now[d] receive mercy as a result of God’s mercy to you. 32 For God has bound everyone over to disobedience(R) so that he may have mercy on them all.
Doxology
33 Oh, the depth of the riches(S) of the wisdom and[e] knowledge of God!(T)
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!(U)
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”[f](V)
35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”[g](W)
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.(X)
To him be the glory forever! Amen.(Y)
