Psalm 93-96
New International Version
Psalm 93
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)
4 Mightier than the thunder(K) of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers(L) of the sea—
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)
Psalm 96(CG)
1 Sing to the Lord(CH) a new song;(CI)
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;(CJ)
proclaim his salvation(CK) day after day.
3 Declare his glory(CL) among the nations,
his marvelous deeds(CM) among all peoples.
4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(CN)
he is to be feared(CO) above all gods.(CP)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,(CQ)
but the Lord made the heavens.(CR)
6 Splendor and majesty(CS) are before him;
strength and glory(CT) are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord,(CU) all you families of nations,(CV)
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering(CW) and come into his courts.(CX)
9 Worship the Lord(CY) in the splendor of his[c] holiness;(CZ)
tremble(DA) before him, all the earth.(DB)
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.(DC)”
The world is firmly established,(DD) it cannot be moved;(DE)
he will judge(DF) the peoples with equity.(DG)
11 Let the heavens rejoice,(DH) let the earth be glad;(DI)
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest(DJ) sing for joy.(DK)
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
he comes to judge(DL) the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness(DM)
and the peoples in his faithfulness.(DN)

Psalm 93-96
King James Version
93 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.
94 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 They break in pieces thy people, O Lord, and afflict thine heritage.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Yet they say, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
23 And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the Lord our God shall cut them off.
95 O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
