Psalms 93-95

Psalm 93

¹The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

²Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity.

³The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.

⁴Above the roar of many waters— the mighty breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is majestic.

⁵Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, for all the days to come.

Psalm 94

¹O LORD, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth.

²Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render a reward to the proud.

³How long will the wicked, O LORD, how long will the wicked exult?

⁴They pour out arrogant words; all workers of iniquity boast.

⁵They crush Your people, O LORD; they oppress Your heritage.

⁶They kill the widow and the foreigner; they murder the fatherless.

⁷They say, “The LORD does not see; the God of Jacob pays no heed.”

⁸Take notice, O senseless among the people! O fools, when will you be wise?

⁹He who affixed the ear, can He not hear? He who formed the eye, can He not see?

¹⁰He who admonishes the nations, does He not discipline? He who teaches man, does He lack knowledge?

¹¹The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.

¹²Blessed is the man You discipline, O LORD, and teach from Your law,

¹³to grant him relief from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked.

¹⁴For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.

¹⁵Surely judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity?

¹⁷Unless the LORD had been my helper, I would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.

¹⁸If I say, “My foot is slipping,” Your loving devotion, O LORD, supports me.

¹⁹When anxiety overwhelms me, Your consolation delights my soul.

²⁰Can a corrupt throne be Your ally— one devising mischief by decree?

²¹They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.

²²But the LORD has been my stronghold, and my God is my rock of refuge.

²³He will bring upon them their own iniquity and destroy them for their wickedness. The LORD our God will destroy them.

Psalm 95

¹Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!

²Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.

³For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.

⁴In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.

⁵The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.

⁶O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

⁷For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,

⁸do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,

⁹where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.

¹⁰For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.”

¹¹So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”
