Psalms 93-95

Psalm 93

¹The LORD reigneth; he is apparelled with majesty; the LORD is apparelled, he hath girded himself with strength: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

²Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

³The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

⁴Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty.

⁵Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for evermore.

Psalm 94

¹O LORD, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.

²Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render to the proud their desert.

³LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

⁴They prate, they speak arrogantly: all the workers of iniquity boast themselves.

⁵They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

⁶They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

⁷And they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob consider.

⁸Consider, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

⁹He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

¹⁰He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct, even he that teacheth man knowledge?

¹¹The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

¹²Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest out of thy law;

¹³That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

¹⁴For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁵For judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

¹⁶Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

¹⁷Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.

¹⁸When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

¹⁹In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

²⁰Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by statute?

²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

²²But the LORD hath been my high tower; and my God the rock of my refuge.

²³And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God shall cut them off.

Psalm 95

¹O COME, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

²Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

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

⁴In his hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also.

⁵The sea is his, and 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, and the sheep of his hand. Today, Oh that ye would hear his voice!

⁸Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness:

⁹When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

¹⁰Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

¹¹Wherefore I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.
