Psalms 94

• 1. O LORD, the God to whom vengeance belongs, O God of vengeance, let your glorious justice be seen!
• 2. Arise, O judge of the earth. Sentence the proud to the penalties they deserve.
• 3. How long, O LORD? How long will the wicked be allowed to gloat?
• 4. Hear their arrogance! How these evildoers boast!
• 5. They oppress your people, LORD, hurting those you love.
• 6. They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.
• 7. "The LORD isn't looking," they say, "and besides, the God of Israel doesn't care."
• 8. Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on?
• 9. Is the one who made your ears deaf? Is the one who formed your eyes blind?
• 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, that they are worthless!
• 12. Happy are those whom you discipline, LORD, and those whom you teach from your law.
• 13. You give them relief from troubled times until a pit is dug for the wicked.
• 14. The LORD will not reject his people; he will not abandon his own special possession.
• 15. Judgment will come again for the righteous, and those who are upright will have a reward.
• 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 died.
• 18. I cried out, "I'm slipping!" and 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 who permit injustice by their laws?
• 21. They attack the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.
• 22. But the LORD is my fortress; my God is a mighty rock where I can hide.
• 23. God will make the sins of evil people fall back upon them. He will destroy them for their sins. The LORD our God will destroy them.

Psalms 95

• 1. Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us give a joyous shout to the rock of our salvation!
• 2. Let us come before him with thanksgiving. Let us sing him psalms of praise.
• 3. For the LORD is a great God, the great King above all gods.
• 4. He owns the depths of the earth, and even the mightiest mountains are his.
• 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 sheep under his care. Oh, that 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 tried my patience; they courted my wrath though they had seen my many miracles.
• 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 made a vow: `They will never enter my place of rest.'"

Psalms 96

• 1. Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD!
• 2. Sing to the LORD; bless his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
• 3. Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.
• 4. Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be revered above all the gods.
• 5. The gods of other nations are merely idols, but the LORD made the heavens!
• 6. Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
• 7. O nations of the world, recognize the LORD; recognize that the LORD is glorious and strong.
• 8. Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come to worship him.
• 9. Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor. Let all the earth tremble before him.
• 10. Tell all the nations that the LORD is king. The world is firmly established and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly.
• 11. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
• 12. Let the fields and their crops burst forth with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise
• 13. before the LORD! For the LORD is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and all the nations with his truth.
