Chronological

95 Come, let’s sing to Adonai!
Let’s shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation!

let’s shout for joy to him with songs of praise.

³ For Adonai is a great God,
a great king greater than all gods.
⁴ He holds the depths of the earth in his hands;
the mountain peaks too belong to him.
⁵ The sea is his — he made it —
and his hands shaped the dry land.

⁶ Come, let’s bow down and worship;
let’s kneel before Adonai who made us.
⁷ For he is our God, and we are the people
in his pasture, the sheep in his care.

If only today you would listen to his voice:
⁸ “Don’t harden your hearts, as you did at M’rivah,
as you did on that day at Massah in the desert,
⁹ when your fathers put me to the test;
they challenged me, even though they saw my work.
¹⁰ For forty years I loathed that generation;
I said, ‘This is a people whose hearts go astray,
they don’t understand how I do things.’
¹¹ Therefore I swore in my anger
that they would not enter my rest.”

97 Adonai is king, let the earth rejoice,
let the many coasts and islands be glad.
² Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
³ Fire goes before him,
setting ablaze his foes on every side.
⁴ His flashes of lightning light up the world;
the earth sees it and trembles.
⁵ The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Adonai,
at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
⁶ The heavens declare his righteousness,
and all the peoples see his glory.

⁷ All who worship images will be put to shame,
those who make their boast in worthless idols.
Bow down to him, all you gods!
⁸ Tziyon hears and is glad, Adonai;
the daughters of Y’hudah rejoice at your rulings.
⁹ For you, Adonai, most high over all the earth,
you are exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰ You who love Adonai, hate evil!
He keeps his faithful servants safe.
He rescues them from the power of the wicked.
¹¹ Light is sown for the righteous
and joy for the upright in heart.
¹² Rejoice in Adonai, you righteous;
and give thanks on recalling his holiness.

98 ⁽⁰⁾ A psalm:

⁽¹⁾ Sing a new song to Adonai,
because he has done wonders.
His right hand, his holy arm
have won him victory.
² Adonai has made known his victory;
revealed his vindication in full view of the nations,

to the house of Isra’el.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the victory of our God.

⁴ Shout for joy to Adonai, all the earth!
Break forth, sing for joy, sing praises!
⁵ Sing praises to Adonai with the lyre,
with the lyre and melodious music!
⁶ With trumpets and the sound of the shofar,
shout for joy before the king, Adonai!
⁷ Let the sea roar, and everything in it;
the world, and those living in it.

let the mountains sing together for joy

⁶ Moshe and Aharon among his cohanim
and Sh’mu’el among those who call on his name
called on Adonai, and he answered them.
⁷ He spoke to them in the column of cloud;
they kept his instructions and the law that he gave them.
⁸ Adonai our God, you answered them.
To them you were a forgiving God,
although you took vengeance on their wrongdoings.

⁹ Exalt Adonai our God,
bow down toward his holy mountain,
for Adonai our God is holy!
